WHAT DO YOU MEAN MR. KATSU CLOSED? Where else am I going to have those potato puffs now? Mr. Katsu had the thickest katsu sandwiches I'd ever seen. The bread was so pillowy and soft. The katsu was crispy and cooked perfectly. The standout for me, however, were the potato puffs. They were incredible. They're lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor is amazing. The cherry on top was the delicious yum yum sauce they came with. I'll miss Mr. Katsu dearly... the food, service, ambiance... everything. Maybe one day we'll meet again... old friend. read more

I called because the hours looked a little wonky, but they said they are currently permanently closed. Only taking catering orders. I'm devastated, I love this place! I ordered it all the time read more

Mom and pop family restaurant. Huge portions. Recommend sharing a sandwich, unless you have a buffet type appetite. Customer service is great. Huge parking lot in the plaza. It is a lot of bread, but the chicken katsu is just as thick as the bread to match. read more

Mr Katsu - Original (COMBO MEAL) * and Katsu Bowl * - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

Quick delicious meal where all the dipping sauces are made in house! I had: 1. Original katsu 2. Teriyaki chicken katsu - the meat has never been frozen so you can taste the freshness! 3. Katsu bowl with coleslaw 4. Potato puff 5. Mango latte - with mango puree from Korea read more

It was an okay meal. I'm not a big sandwich guy and that's what they had the majority of here. I went with the Kalbi Curry Bowl but had to do a lot of altering to get it how I liked it--without the coleslaw and without the kimchi. Otherwise, it was a good bowl--a bit overpriced for just meat, rice, and sauce but what are you going to do? The service was nice enough and the place is pretty spiff looking with a lot of space. But I don't know if I'll ever be back as I don't seem to be the intended patron and honestly left a little hungry as the portion size left a lot to be desired for the price point. I could see a bowl like this maybe being in the $9-10 range and not the $14-$15 range. read more

Mr Katsu - And when they show up, I'll give the Martian Saints your address Kalbi Pork Curry Bowl (no kimchi, no salad) from #MrKatsu - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

Came to Mr. Katsu with the fam for a quick lunch, and here's the rundown: I went with the Katsu Curry Bowl (pork cutlets, katsu sauce on rice, cole slaw, and a side of curry). Honestly, it was... just okay. Not bad, but not life-changing either. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the amazing spots near Little Tokyo, but I expected more for the hype. My fiancé and daughter shared the Katsu Curry Sandwich, and they agreed--also just okay. To be fair, we found out the owners weren't there when we visited, which makes sense since we've heard it's way better when they're in the kitchen. Seems like one of those Mom-and-Pop spots where on a good day, it's amazing, but on an off day (like ours), it's kinda hit-or-miss. The place is nice with ample seats and tables, parking is a plenty so, no need to worry about the ravenous meter maids but would I come back? Maybe. Definitely want to give it another shot when the owners are there to make the magic happen. My fiancé swears he had the best katsu sandwich of his life on his first visit, so I guess I'll have to go back and see if it's true! Overall? Not bad, but not worth sending a postcard about. Save your stamps, folks. read more

It's hard to write this review because I can't stop drooling. Mr Katsu might just be my favorite cheat meal. Nothing about it is healthy and I love every second of it. I visited for lunch with my team before a nearby event and tried their Teriyaki Chicken Katsu Sandwich. This sandwich was larger than my stomach. Imagine the tastiest, fluffiest, bread stuffed with a thick piece of chicken Katsu, and topped with coleslaw. I also adore that they have chicken options since I don't eat pork. The meal was absolutely delicious. I'm still thinking about it a week later. This spot is great for large groups. It's pretty easy to snag a seat and I guarantee they have something that will please everyone. read more

Delicious and affordable. Meat was thin and juicy, bread was a little much but great to dip in the curry! Highly recommend the curry. Would have loved more pickles or add cabbage slaw to the curry sando. Potato puffs are a great texture. I'd skip the puff tho and lean more towards the fries. Definitely coming back for them. Service was excellent and so quick for takeout!!! read more

A solid place for a katsu fix! This local place has a variety of katsu sandwiches, all of which are hearty in size and taste. Located in a strip mall, so there is plenty of free parking. The service was kind and easy. The lady working behind the counter was so nice and patient as I decided on what to order. The place is pretty casual, I noticed many groups of friends just coming here to catch up and have a good bite. I tried the Habanero Pesto and Katsu Curry sandwiches. The habanero actually had a good little kick to it, and didn't overwhelm the flavor profile of the sandwich, especially with the slaw to balance it out. You can't go wrong with a classic katsu curry. I would love to come back to try the other sandwiches! read more

Mr Katsu - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

Tucked away in a small plaza is a restaurant that specializes in hearty katsu sandwiches. I love matcha. Mr.Katsu is currently my favorite katsu sandwich restaurant out there. I would definitely recommend their pesto habanero katsu sandwich aside from the original as it adds earthy notes to the sandwich. Keep in mind Mr.Katsu is more of a takeout restaurant than it is a sit-down service restaurant, so if you are looking to eat somewhere casual then this is the place to eat. I love matcha. read more

Mr Katsu - Habanero Pesto Sandwich * - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

Mr Katsu has some pretty good offerings, and I was pleased with my meal. Love that they add a fried pork cutlet to almost every sandwich. I ordered their original, which was the perfect amount of flavor, texture, and portion size. My friend got the yakisoba sandwich, which I was okay not having, as it tasted too carb-loaded for me. read more

Ordered the original Katsu sandwich and it came out SUPER fast and was packed with amazing flavor. The bread was toasted very nicely and delicious. The Katsu itself was juicy and meat was tender. Loved the crunch of veggies too! Looking forward to try the other sandwhiches. read more

Mr Katsu - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

Mr Katsu has been perfecting their Katsu Sandwhiches for over 10 years in the Fullterton area. I just recently visited and was able to meet the owners, who have been running the business in the area for over 10 years. It is a local gem and one that I wish was closer to where I live. They recently just started a cafe menu offering korean style drinks, such as various fruit ades or fruity milk lattes. Their fruit is imported from Korea, and all the purees they make are in house with that same frut. Highly reccomend going for their Shine Muskat Ade, a flavor that you see commonly in Asia and glad to see it popping up in OC! The Katsu sandwiches always use never frozen meat and stack your sandwhich with generous toppings so each sandwhich is super filling. I ordered the Habenero Pesto, Curry Katsu Sandwhich, a Shine Muskat Ade, a Strawberry Latte and their fried potato puffs. The sandwiches were delicious, fresh and you could tell had good ingredients. If you want to support local and eat a hearty katsu sandwhich, you gotta stop by Mr Katsu. read more

I am also kind of a katsu snob and I adore the thicker cuts of Japanese katsu (Korean katsu has its place in my heart though!), and that is exactly what Mr. Katsu serves up! The cutlet didn't taste gamey -- probably my ultimate American pork fear -- and it was sufficiently crispy. I got the katsu salad, which is like the original sandwich but deconstructed. The slaw was cooked and I don't know how I feel about it still, but it was not bad and the portion was pretty solid. I was not a fan of the sesame dressing but the katsu sauce served as a fine sauce for the cabbage as well. The fries were pretty fire though -- the fries themselves were just okay but they were doctored up in quite the combination of mayo and kalbi sauce and bits. Service is a little slow but the katsu is fresh so I guess you have to sacrifice a bit sometimes! It's located in a plaza and it's not super duper busy (but a decent number of people come in and out). read more

There are maybe a dozen tables in this casual, quaint lil shop. It's an order at the register, get your food when they holler kinda place. That is, if you hear the holler. With music playing & people talking, most folks didn't hear the guy calling out. When I was at the register, I literally helped him call it out or get the waiting customer's attention lol. The guy behind the counter was very nice & patient while the 3 of us newcomers asked our questions (no one was behind us). We each ordered different things & shared- a bowl, a sandwich, WTF fries, then some sides - potato puffs & dumplings. It's a good idea to get the combo if you're not getting a yuzu drink - you get 3 puffs or fries & a fountain drink for $4 more. My friend really liked her yuzu drink; they have grape, pomelo, or 1 other, I can't recall. The food was tasty, felt like kind of a fusion of Korean, Hawaiian, & Japanese. I'll be back with the family so they can enjoy it too. Thanks, Mr. Katsu! --Sorry, no pics cuz I was too busy talking w/ my girls & enjoying the yummy grub!! read more

7/10 They have a large variety of Katsu sandwiches along with some comfort sides to share with your friends. This place is such a great place to hang out and chat while eating delicious Katsu dishes. The foods I got were yummy but I feel like there were better dishes I should've tried like their habanero pesto sando and W.T.F.F. Yakisoba sando $12: 4/5 The Katsu was massive! I've never had a sandwich with noodles in it before so this was definitely something new for me! I loved the texture of the noodles in the warm toasted bread topped off with some in-house spicy mayo. I wish it had a bit more sauce though! Katsu bowl $12: 3/5 this was a giant piece of Katsu on top of a bed of rice and coleslaw on the side. The katsu was super crispy and tender! I wasn't a big fan of their sauce but the Katsu was good enough to eat on its own. I would probably get the curry one next time. read more

If my Doordash order of Mr. Katsu tasted delicious, I knew that it was going to be more delicious if I came in person to order and to eat it right away. That was definitely the correct call because it tasted amazing! Their katsu sandos are the fluffiest in the area and that is primarily due to the brioche bread that they use. I came on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. They make everything fresh to order so you can expect your katsu to be fresh and juicy. You order at the counter and they'll bring your order out. Once you finish dining in, you clean up after yourself by returning the tray and throwing away your trash by the station located next to the door. Would I come back for another visit, of course!! || P A R K I N G / L O C A T I O N || -Cross Streets are Yorba Linda Blvd. and Sapphire Rd., pretty close to the 57 North freeway -Located in the same plaza as Little India and Gem Gourmet Meats and more. -Decent amount of parking in the plaza. It wasn't too busy around a Sunday afternoon, but I'm unsure if it'll get packed during the typical peak hours || F O O D || Katsu Curry Sando ($12.25) - I'm tied between the Katsu Curry Sando or the Umeboshi Goat Katsu Sando as my favorite from Mr. Katsu because dipping the katsu sando in the curry sauce is such a game changer. The brioche just soaks up the curry and it's just so lovely! I believe you can get a side of curry sauce on the side for any sandwich for an extra cost. Umeboshi Goat Cheese Katsu Sando ($13.35) - This is such a unique pairing of plum and goat cheese that I had to try out. I actually enjoyed this combination so much that I recommended my other foodie friends to try it out! Yakisoba Katsu Sando ($12.25)- I would get this if I'm feeling super hungry so I have the yaki soba to help me fill up. It was another unique creation! Potato Puffs (S:$5 / L: $7)- I got a large size which comes with (10) potato puffs, so I could try out the original and curry flavors. If you're a big fan of Japanese curry, then you'll love the strong flavor of the curry potato puffs. If not a big fan of that, then I would just get the original. read more

RIP Mr. Katsu, you will be missed thanks for all the kabli bowls and curry potato balls. wishing the staff the best of luck!

Mr Katsu decided no matter what, they were gonna continue to give their customers extra thicc Japanese Katsu Sandos with a thicc pork or chicken panko crusted cutlet. Priced less than $14, it's a fantastic deal. With over 11 different Katsu sandos served fresh to order. Along with that their WTFF fries are hella tasty topped with bits of Galbi. But oh man, you gotta get a side of Japanese Curry to dip everything in. Their potato puffs are also magical as well.

This place has nice katsu. You can have it with rice or bread. The curry was quite good. They put a lot of potatoes in it. The katsu piece was thick. The flavor was a bit too strong for me. I think the panko outside could be less cooked. The ade had great sweet scent to it, although it tasted a bit too sweet. They use fruits from Korea. Great price though, try it if you're in the area! read more

I got the habanero pesto katsh and it had a nice kick to it from the habanero. For some reason, the katsu cutlet seems to be a lot thinner since the last time I had it. I remember it being much thicker and bigger. The sandwich is still relatively big so I was able to eat half and save the other half for later. I also got the curry croquets and those were so delicious! I would order them again if I came but I wish it came with more because its a bit pricey for the amount/size you get. For the katsu sandwiches, I heard the goat cheese one is popular so I will need to come back to try it. The service was really fast and I came during lunch hours on a weekday. The place is a bit small but there is a good amount of seating. Some small tables and bigger tables that you can push together if you have a large party. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Katsu, and it did not disappoint! The quality of the food was top tier, and the portions sizes were SO HUGE! Something noteworthy is that they have not raised their prices since 2020, making it the BEST DEAL in all of SoCal. Everything is also made in house so you know the quality and thoughtfulness is there in each dish. I was able to try the curry katsu sandwich which was soooo yummy! The curry was warm and paired great with the crunch of the katsu and the sweetness of the bread. We also got the original sandwich, which was the perfect balance of crunchy, flavorful and freshness. We also got the potato croquettes, which were so soft in the inside and crunchy on the outside. This is the perfect Katsu Sando place! read more

Mr Katsu - Katsu Curry Sandwich and The Original Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fullerton, California

A great Japanese sandwich place with a great balance of ingredients. The bread is amazing, the fried pork was tender and juicy, and the veggies they added really brought everything together. You get much more veggies in the sandwich than you would typically get with a fried sandwich. This sandwich was a pleasure, not a guilty one. The curry bowl was good, as you'd expect. Really loved the potato puffs and the sauce that came along with it. They are very filling though, so it was a challenge finishing them all. read more

It was my first time coming here. We ordered three bowls, French fries and potato puffs to go. While I was waiting for our food, I watched the lady behind the counter throw two of our orders in the microwave, still in the plastic to go containers. The food is way too expensive to be throwing in the microwave. I could have saved money and eaten a frozen meal instead, not to mention the microplastics you are putting into my food. The rice was absolutely disgusting. It was mushy and clumpy. I literally spit it out and only ate the katsu and curry. The side salad was warm and wilted from being thrown in the microwave. The fries were overly salted. The potato puffs were good. All in all, I will never come back nor recommend this to anyone. I am Japanese and there are way better places that cook you food fresh, can make a decent plate of rice and serve you fresh salad. Pass on this awful hole in the wall. read more

I have been in Japan several times and I love the variety of sandwiches over there. My score is lower because of the online ordering system provided by Yelp, Yelp do high overcharges to the food for pickup and provide no value and justification for them. I order for pickup, ie: a $12 sandwich cost $15 when ordering thru Yelp, it is 25% more just for ordering for pickup. The surcharge doesn't exist if you call the place directly or order directly at the restaurant. I am very disappointed that Yelp is abusing the community they are supposed to be supporting so avoid at all cost using the Yelp ordering system. Regards the sandwiches, we ordered 2 originals, another with curry and potato puffs, they were good and I'll try them again but never using the Yelp online ordering system available in the restaurant's Yelp page. read more

I love Japanese sandos and this place has really good selection. It's a casual eatery and most of their items/ingredients are hand made. I tried the habanero pesto sandwich (my favorite and not spicy), umeboshi goat cheese sando, what the frick fries, and the kalbi curry bowl (another favorite). The sandos are fluffy, filling and satisfying. I would definitely come back here if and when I'm in the area. read more

First time here and decided to try their chipotle asiago sandwich. I like how you have the option to choose between chicken, pork, or veggie since most katsu places usually only offer pork. I decided to get chicken and it was really crispy and juicy. My sandwich came with chipotle sauce, habanero, asiago cheese, and cole slaw. It was spicy but not too spicy. I really enjoyed the cheese and thought it made the sandwich taste unique compared to other katsu sandwiches I tried before. They have a lot of different types of sandwiches and I can't wait to go back and try them all. read more

The sandwich was a pleasant surprise from the normal katsu sandwiches we have had! We thought it be weird with yakisoba at first, but we wanted to try something different and it works! It imparts bulldog branded yakisoba flavors to the crispy, juicy, pork cutlet with the well toasted exterior slices of bread flanking the exterior. The potato balls are simple, but delicious - it's essentially mash potatoes with a crispy panko breaded exterior and you get a mayo based sweet and tart sauce. We will be coming back! read more

Also added costs to the potato balls when it clearly says $3.50 but charged me $3.64. They are taxing on top of the tax. Besides that they are also cutting down the portions over the years and its ridiculous. Nick the cashier is clueless and is inexperienced and doesn't know whats on their menu. read more
