    Original Kimbap
    Andrea-Li A.

    Perfect spot after a long day at Disneyland. Order through their kiosk and food came pretty fast. I ordered the Pork katsu with cheese, Kimbap, and spam musubi. The pork katsu plate was massive, two big pieces of katsu which was enough to feed 2-3 people. So worth it for the price. The meat was moist and the melted cheese topped it off. This plate came with Korean sides which were very tasty. If you're craving rice- definitely check this place out.

    Musubi and Original Kimbap

    We were looking for a quick takeout to-go food that wasn't your usual fast food fare, and came upon Mama Katsu. Parking isn't easy, but luckily the hotel valet instructed us to park in the red zone near the exit. It's a small shop but the menu had enough options to satisfy every person's cravings. Musubi for the kids, original kimbap and chicken katsu plates for the adults, all were really delicious and flavorful. The kiddos even wanted the katsu, a rarity in our house. Owner was lovely, very hospitable and patient. We took the food back to our hotel, but the patio area in front faces the Disneyland crowds walking to and back from the park, a great spot for people watching and enjoying the breeze. We'll be back! Quick, easy, delicious Korean fare!

    My girlfriend and I stopped by here around noon on Saturday to enjoy some fresh katsu before our stop to Downtown Disney close by. The service was nice and quick. The shop is a bit small but there's outdoor seating where you can eat your food. We both got the Chicken Katsu which comes with rice, pickles jalapenos, coleslaw, 1 piece of shrimp tempura, and 2 pieces of gyoza. Everything was decent overall. It'll give me enough energy for the Disney walk-a-thon to come.

    Came here around 9pm after a Disney day and it was the best decision ever. I haven't had a meal in a long time where I enjoyed every single item we ordered! There's 3 self service kiosks you can order at with pictures of the larger entrees so it's easier to choose what you want. There's no seating inside but there are a few tables outside covered with umbrellas. We ordered: Pork with cheese katsu- this was sooo worth it. There's 2 layers of cheesy, crispy pork katsu goodness, a big scoop of rice, coleslaw, a spicy radish sauce, and fried gyoza and shrimp on the side. Everything was seasoned well and stood out on its own. The radish sauce wasn't overly spicy and cut the richness of the cheese so well. Rose tteokbokki- the sauce was a little runny but the flavors were still on par-- creamy, cheesy, and a lil spicy. Rice cakes were bouncy and chewy, and sausages were umami flavor bombs. Shrimp musubi- these surprised me by how good they were! The shrimp was perfectly seasoned with a great crunch. Yummm Spam musubi- spam... you can't go wrong with spam. This was good, as expected! But if you're looking for a musubi with more pizazz, try the shrimp musubi Already thinking about the next time I can come here. Highly recommend!

    Mama Katsu is a hidden gem! I'm not sure how long they've been open, but wow--this place completely exceeded my expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious. The California roll was fresh and flavorful, my kimbap was vibrant and really well seasoned, and the shrimp tempura was amazing--super fresh, fluffy, and not greasy at all. We also ordered the spam musubi, which had great flavor and is always one of our favorites. The service was great, the place was clean, and it's also really convenient for takeout. We placed our order online through their website and it was ready quickly. When we arrived, the parking attendant helped direct us to double park on the red for a quick pickup, which made it SO convenient. If I could rate this place a 10, I would! Definitely come give it a try--you won't be disappointed. We'll absolutely be back.

    Chicken Katsu plate and spam musubi

    Food was tasty hot and tent chicken , surprisingly big portions of katsu. It also included 1 pc shrimp tempura and 2 pc of gyoza . 2 pcs of spam musubi was also good. From Hawaii , definitely recommend to come and enjoy the tasty food .

    I work at the happiest place on earth so I finally got to give this a try to bring lunch to work. I ordered the chicken katsu and it was so delicious and was still crunchy an hour later after clocking in for work. There was a lot of food to my surprise for $22. It is nice they give you a gyoza and shrimp tempura with your chicken katsu. The coleslaw I didn't care for but the pickles and rice I enjoyed a lot. I will go back again to try the other things on the menu. There is a kiosk to order so I didn't talk to anymore except when I got my food. Lady was nice who served me. I didn't have to wait long, only 15 min or so. There's plenty of seating outside no sitting inside since it's a small area other than a few chairs as a waiting area.

    We just finished a long day at Disneyland and were craving Japanese food. We found this spot in a plaza with a bunch of interesting combos and stopped in around 9-10pm. The place was empty, but they have three easy-to-use tablets for ordering, which made it super seamless. Our food was ready in under 10 minutes! The portion sizes are massive--the katsu was great, and it came with unexpected sides like tempura and gyoza that were actually delicious. It was the perfect, quick, and filling meal to end a Disney day.

    This place is absolutely fantastic! We found it on Yelp after leaving Disneyland and wanted something to take with us back to the hotel. The stellar reviews are all very accurate and this place is amazing! The portions are huge compared to what you pay for your food and everything is so fresh and delicious. I also love their different dessert options. They are perfect for walking to your hotel after Disneyland if you need a snack. My husband and I both got the Katsu chicken meal +10 dumplings and it was more than enough food for the two of us. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in a hotel near Disneyland.

    Small spot just outside the disney gates. There's tables outside but this is mostly for carry out. Unsure if they do delivery (maybe doordash or ubereats?) We went with the chicken katsu meal and added extra rice. Once we got back to hotel, we were pleasantly surprised at how big the portion of food was. Good enough to feed 2 adults and a toddler. It also came with 2 gyoza and 1 shrimp tempura. Everything tasted great. Would definitely come back if we were staying close by.

    I was looking around for food outside of Disneyland and happened to see this spot. I enjoy a good katsu, and this place hit the spot with its cost and taste. It was a walkable distance after leaving the park, which was also a plus. The place itself is pretty small - more of a takeout place than a sit-down restaurant. They only have a few chairs available inside to sit down while you wait for your order. There are seats and tables available outside. We ordered the Pork Katsu and were able to share the box between two people. It included a lot! There was the katsu, a piece of gyoza, a piece of shrimp tempura, rice, pickles, and coleslaw. It was pretty worth it, especially when comparing it to the prices and portions of Disneyland.

    Inside
    Anne Q.

    My flight landed late and I was famished. I searched Yelp for a less fast-food-oriented restaurant and Mama Katsu caught my eye due to its positive reviews. It's nestled in the heart of a small shopping center, a cozy carry-out restaurant with no dining space. The interior is charming and nicely decorated. When I walked in, a lady came out from the back and greeted me with very friendly energy. I ordered both the chicken and fish Katsu from the ordering kiosk by the counter. The food came out pretty fast and the packaging was very impressive, with each meal in a nice paper box. This and the service was the highlight of my experience from this establishment. I had the fish Katsu and found it to be ... okay. I like that the meals came with rice, two dumplings, and two small sides: coleslaw and pickled radish. However, the fried fish was quite oily and too heavily battered for my liking and left me feeling as though I had consumed more batter than actual fish. As a result, I didn't revisit during the rest of my stay and probably won't visit again when I'm in town next. If it's late and you're in the area, AND absolutely in the mood for Katsu, I would say give this place a try. Other than that, there are healthier options than here. Note: There's a charge for paying with a credit card.

    This place is amazing and I would happily go back. Near Disneyland and a great option for food after the park. They have kiosk to order from with photos of everything to make choosing easier. The prices are great for the large portions you get!! While waiting for our food, we were able to chat with the sweet lady at the front. She asked if we were walking far and kindly made sure she doubled bagged our food to travel safely. She definitely took this place to the top with her customer service. This inside was cute and a great vibe. Definitely recommend to anyone

Right across from Disneyland, our night ended with an up close view of the Disneyland fireworks. Everything tasted amazing. We ordered the Nori and Cheese Fries, Tofu Seafood Salad, 2 Double Shrimp Tempura Rolls, Rainbow Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, and Spicy Tuna Roll. My mouth is watering from writing this review... The rolls were large, flavorful, and had good amounts of fish. High quality fish here. My personal favorites were the salmon and tuna rolls. The salmon was rich and fatty. The spicy tuna had a mild kick of spice, making it enjoyable for almost any spice tolerance. I noticed the wasabi and soy sauce were milder than what I'm used to. A photographer comes by each table to take pictures. They offer 4 framed photos for purchase and give you 1 free printed photo with a QR code to purchase the digital copies. We decided not to purchase any of the photos. Seating options include sushi bar/counter seating and tables. Tables are separated by bamboo dividers, providing a more private dining experience. This restaurant was moderately busy during dinner on a Friday night. Service was timely and staff were attentive. Our waters were regularly refilled and they checked on our table throughout our meal. The restaurant fully validates parking here. Don't forget to get your ticket validated!

It ended up being much more casual than we expected, with an atmosphere that felt like stepping into a restaurant from the '90s inside an older hotel. Not necessarily a bad thing--just different from what we had in mind for a birthday dinner. That said, the food was excellent and definitely the reason we'd come back. I also really enjoyed their selection of Japanese-inspired beers, which paired perfectly with the meal and were a fun addition to the experience. We started with the spicy edamame, which was good, though not a showstopper. The Chef's 10-piece nigiri was the highlight of the meal. Every piece was fresh and delicious, but the yellowtail and unagi were absolute standouts. We also ordered the spicy salmon roll, which was really good, and the double shrimp tempura roll, which was exactly what you want from a tempura roll--you really can't go wrong with it. Our server was very kind and friendly, but service wasn't especially attentive. It seemed like they may have been understaffed, so there were longer waits between check-ins than we would have liked. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food and drinks. If you're looking for high-quality sushi and don't mind a nostalgic, old-school atmosphere, Hanagi is worth checking out. Just go in expecting excellent food rather than a luxurious dining experience.
