I ordered the Hire Katsu set which came with pork cutlet, cabbage salad, rice, soup, pickled vegetables, dressing for the salad, sauce for the katsu, and salt to lightly dip the katsu in. I also ordered the giant ebi which came with mayo. Although the giant ebi was a bit pricey at $6, it was indeed giant and the outside coating was crisp, flaky, and delightful. Turns out, money does buy happiness because after taking a bite out of the giant shrimp I felt like I ascended. The katsu itself was very tasty. Crisp exterior but not dry on the inside. The katsu sauce was a bit strong so I only used a little bit of it. I alternated between dipping the katsu in the sauce and the salt for a good variety. I really enjoyed the salad dressing which was a sesame dressing. Soup was average, but pleasant. Saku a good experience! read more

Second time here & it's just as great as I remembered. The interior is so cute and aesthetic. I got the rose katsu, which is pork. It was so tender and flavorful, the breading was perfect. It comes with miso soup and cabbage, which you can get refills on :) The waitresses were so nice and kept asking if I wanted to refill my dishes. I absolutely love this place! read more

Saku - Rose Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

After 4 hours of travel, we arrived in Vancouver and we were starving. After dropping off our luggage, we decided to find a place to eat. Saku was on the top of the Yelp list, the food looked good, and so we decided to give it a try. We were able to join the waitlist through the Yelp app and was quoted a 45 mins wait time, which was pretty accurate. We were number 7 in line. When we arrived around 7:30pm it was very crowded. Saku does dine in, take out, and door dash. After being seated, we were given water and a QR code to scan for the dine in menu. https://qrco.de/bcKQpJ I'm very indecisive when it comes to choosing my meal. If there is ever a sampler type option, that's usually what I order. I got to the third page and there it was, The Zenbu Katsu. The Zenbu Katsu came with an assortment of everything, Rosu (pork loin), Hire (pork fillet), Chicken Thigh, 1pc cheese (mozzarella wrapped with thinly sliced pork loin), 1pc Ebi (shrimp), 1pc Hotate (scallop), and 2pc Vegetables (eggplant and I think the other was some sort of pumpkin). Not to mention, it came with unlimited rice, tonjiru (pork and vegetable miso soup), and cabbage salad with goma (sesame seed) dressing. There was four different dipping/seasonings tonkatsu, seasoned salt, karashi (Japanese mustard), and tartar. The salt had a nice flavor like dashi or ajinomoto. They only gave a very small amount of karashi but a little went a long way. When the waiter brought out our meals, I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish it. It was HUGE and enough to feed two people. I later seen that for 8 CAD you can get an additional set of rice, tonjiru, and salad which would have been a better option for my husband and I. My son ordered the cheese katsu with a side of tofu. Personally I feel the cheese katsu tasted like a mozzarella stick since there was so much cheese compared to pork but my son loved it and so that's all that matters. I didn't try the tofu but he said that was really good too. The food was really yummy. Everything was good but I wanted to specifically point out that the pork was soft and moist and the breading was crispy and not too oily. The salad was fresh and paired well with the goma dressing. The tonjiru was perfect. On top of that, the service was amazing. They came often to refill our water and to ask if we needed anything including a take out container. read more

Holy katsu! First of all, get on that waitlist early so that you aren't stuck waiting for an hour outside. But, if you are in fact stuck outside for an hour, pop over to the Red Accordion across the street for a drink as Saku doesn't serve alcohol. This meal was freaking phenomenal. My husband ordered the chicken katsu and I ordered the veggie katsu with curry and a side ebi katsu. I'm Japanese and I've taken him to a fair share of Japanese katsu places that we thought were great, until coming here. The presentation was spectacular, with everything nicely plated on a wooden tray. They offer unlimited miso soup, rice and cabbage. The cabbage was surprisingly good because of the creamy miso dressing it came with. The katsu was all cooked to absolute perfection. He seriously couldn't stop talking about how good his chicken katsu was and how he didn't think it could be made that way. I took a bite and it really was melt in your mouth good. I called my mom, who lived in Japan for 7 years, directly after we finished this meal and told her that I would put money on the fact that if she came here, it'd be the best katsu she's ever eaten. Swear! Well worth the wait. On top of that, I'll mention that I love the aesthetic of this place. Super clean and modern looking inside. We were also seated at one of the booths, which I swear could've fit 10 people, but the 2 of us enjoyed it thoroughly! read more

Saku is definitely one of my favourite restaurants to go to. My favourite is that they offer unlimited rice, soup, and salad refills. Love the dressing for their shredded cabbage salad! My go to order is either their Rosu Katsu, Cheese Katsu, or Ebi Hotate (shrimp & scallop) Katsu. Price has definitely increased since we last went. However, service was still great and portions are pretty big. Also, just love dining their because of the clean aesthetic of the restaurant. P.S. Try to go their early or join their waitlist so you can get a seat faster. They want the whole party to be there before they can seat you. read more

I love Saku. The service is friendly as the servers check in. The space is breathable and feels spacious. I love the furnishings. It's bright and warm. This place has good Katsu. My fave is the cheese Katsu. It has a balanced flavour that's creamy, salty, crispy. The meals come with miso, Katsu, rice and cabbage. The best thing about Saku is their unlimited rice and cabbage. Really would recommend for the price (~$20-$30) read more

AMBIENCE-- 5/5! Love the modern and clean interiors of the place. FOOD - 5/5! Definitely one of the best tonkatsus I've ever had. Big portion and good quality.

Saku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Really enjoyed our experience at Saku. Reminded me of the efficiencies and style in Japan. Prior to arriving, I highly recommend leveraging Yelp's waitlist system so you can put your name down in advance. When we did this, we were able to time it just right and arrived to an available table. Each of our selection came with rice, a salad and miso soup. I was too full to refill but this is always an option for those who have a bigger appetite! Cheese Katsu -- 5/5, I really enjoyed this dish because the mozzarella replaced a bit of the protein in each piece. I preferred it this way as there was the perfect ratio of cheese:protein. Rosu Katsu -- 3.5/5, I think I'm biased because the cheese katsu was so good I didn't enjoy just solely meat in each piece. However, very nicely breaded and wasn't overdone. This was crucial. Ramune -- ordering this reminds me of being in Japan and being a child again. It's a fun touch and a very sweet drink. read more

Saku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I ordered the chicken thigh katsu and thought it was really good! The chicken was tender & the breading was crispy & flavorful. I liked both the katsu sauce and mustard that accompanied it. My friend ordered the tokujyo rosu katsu and I thought that one was also very good! If I were to come again I would probably hope to order this one and the chicken thigh katsu and split it so I can have half of the rosu katsu and half chicken thigh katsu. My other friend ordered the cheese katsu; I tried 1 piece and that was enough cheese katsu for me lol. It was kind of like a mozzarella stick, it needs more meat. It's yummy but I probably wouldn't want more than 1 piece. Overall the quality of the katsu & sides that come with the katsu sets make it pretty worth. read more

We stopped by for lunch during the weekday and the restaurant quickly filled up shortly after opening. We managed to get a table. Staff were efficient. We scanned the QR code and looked over their menu. Unfortunately, their sandwiches were not available at this time. We ordered a chicken thigh katsu curry and kake udon. Food arrived after a short wait. There was unlimited cabbage, rice and soup included in the katsu set. There was a salad dressing bottle at every table. Food was tasty and fresh. No complaints and every morsel was just so good. Our server stopped by to offer refills when she checked in on us. The katsu sets are a bit pricey for lunch, but you are paying for the unlimited rice, cabbage and miso soup. read more

I love katsu and I saw a line outside of Saku one night which intrigued me. I looked up reviews online and they seemed to be quite good, so I made my way here Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up the my expectations and hype. How did this place get such high ratings? With a quick scan, there are quite a few people who rated this place 5 stars who only have one review (or only a few reviews) on Yelp, which can be suspicious. There is a minimum order of $9 per person by the way, which isn't stated anywhere. That doesn't include sharing a dish or drinks, even though the cost of a dish would be way more than $9 when divided by two. Anyways, that wasn't a huge deal but annoying since we weren't hungry enough for two full entrees. We would've just ordered takeout had we known earlier. The service was mediocre. The server only came by to take our order, drop off food, and take payment. She never checked up on us or asked if we wanted any refills throughout our entire meal. We ordered a pork fillet katsu, cheese katsu, and a tofu katsu. All of the katsu were very oily; I know it's deep fried, but some of the oil usually drips off or soaks back into the breading after resting. It seems like this katsu went straight from the deep fryer to the plate. The pork katsu was a bit dry, and the breading on the tofu katsu literally fell off when I picked it up. The breading on entire bottom of my tofu piece fell off. Both the pork and tofu katsu also lacked seasoning and needed sauce and/or salt. I prefer my katsu to stand on its own, and for the sauce or other condiments to just be optional. The tofu was the worst of the three. It just tasted like oil and lacked any seasoning whatsoever. It was in serious need of salt. The cheese katsu was the best. The cheese was gooey and oozing out and had great flavor, but I couldn't taste the pork even though I saw it inside the katsu. The interior looked nice and had good ambiance. Upon closer inspection though, it was quite dirty. The employees have a uniform that I assume includes white shoes, but if you look at the shoes of the employees, they're disgusting. It's from walking around the dirty floors and oily environment all day, but perhaps change the uniform to black shoes instead? The concrete floor was also quite dirty. I didn't notice this until my husband pointed it out, but I couldn't unsee it afterward. The restaurant was busy, but not full, and it seemed like people were enjoying their food. I've had much better katsu elsewhere though and don't think I'll be spending anymore money here. I'm not sure how people can compare this place with katsu in Japan. I've been to Japan multiple times and all the katsu I've had there is seasoned, crispy, and flavorful unlike the food here. I can't recommend this place to others. read more

Saku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I never thought I would give less than 4 stars for Saku, but here I am. I went here on a weekday around 8.30PM and managed to get seated immediately. I wanted to order the "Tokujyo Rosu Katsu", but they were sold out, so I went for "Rosu Katsu" instead with additional "Kaki (Oyster) Fry" on the side. Upon getting served my order, I was surprised that there was no sesame seed anywhere. I had to flag the server to ask for the sesame seed. They gave a sesame seed mill instead of a grinder bowl with sesame seed, which is the norm at Robson location. The salt served is not yuzu salt, it was just plain salt which is a bit disappointing. A bit nitpicky, but the amount of karashi was too little for that amount of katsu. The pork katsu was extremely sad, the bottom of it was soggy with oil. I assumed the oil was not hot enough when they fried the bottom part. Oyster was good, neither overcooked or undercooked, and it was very crunchy. Unfortunately, the tartar sauce do not mesh well with the oyster, the tartness was missing; I ate it with the katsu sauce instead. Unlimited tonjiru and cabbage is always great. Tonjiru was flavourful, and taste great. Rice was properly cooked, not mushy at all. Server was nice, and attentive. Food could be much better! Could be only this location's problem tho. The Robson location used to have soggy katsu problem in years ago, but they fixed it. I hope this location can figure out! Sorry for the quality of the picture, I had to use my phone camera cause rear camera was broken and can't focus :( read more

Saku - chicken katsu curry - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

HANDS DOWN BEST KATSU in the PNW area. I have had katsu in Japan, and I don't think anything will truly compare to that but this comes super super close! We had amazing service here, and the waiters were extremely attentive, constantly coming back to ask if we needed refills. Their menu offers a good variety of food but it is well organized so you don't end up in decision paralysis. I loved my katsu curry and I especially appreciated that they served the curry on the side for people (like me) who like to dip their katsu in the curry! Also, the interior and general ambiance is so cute and calming with decorative lamps and minimalistic decor. I also want to point out how clean it always seems to be. TDLR, the food is absolutely delicious, 10/10. Wish I could give an extra star! read more

So I went here 2 days in a row. I suggest you come early lunch, before 12pm. There's usually a wait. I ordered the seafood katsu which comes with 3 jumbo shrimp and 2 scallops. The first day I ordered just the regular type then second day I ordered the curry kind. Loved it both days. I really like the tartar sauce they use. Service is quick and they are attentive. They check on you and ask if you want refills of your salad and the other sides etc. The place is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Simple and they play nice music. Love this place and I'm so glad I've finally tried it. Katsu on point! read more

Coming from Portland, this was delicious with the perfect crisp. To me, this rivals Tonkatsu Tamafuji in Hawaii but with better value being CAN currency.

Visited Vancouver for a day and was planning a dinner location. I saw Saku was highly rated and decided to go to the Broadway location since the wait time was significantly shorter than the downtown location. When we arrived parking was definitely difficult so be prepared for that. Although we missed our name being called on the wait-list, the staff were very kind and kept a table ready for us even though they were starting to get busy. The menu isn't too big, which is good for a katsu specialized restaurant. I ordered the cheese katsu, which comes with rice, miso soup, salad, and pickled cucumbers. The cheese was very stretchy and soft. The thinly sliced pork was a nice addition to the cheese as it helped balance out the heaviness. The salad was just cabbage but it was sliced very finely and the sesame sauce provided was one of the best I've tried. Overall, I would recommend Saku and would definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

Saku - Cheese katsu - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

AMAZING katsu! I've had katsu in many different states in the US, several places in Canada, and of course several in Japan as well. I forever have been looking for a place on par with the one I have been to in Kyoto and this is it! Thick, and juicy cuts of pork that are well worth the travel for, wrapped in a beautiful, flakey fried crust. The Tonkatsu went GREAT with the garlic salt and mustard which was a new option than what you are typically given when you get tonkatsu! Super smooth and flavorful potato croquettes. Absolutely delicious, everything went great with the peach soda. Super quick and friendly service! The resturaunt itself echos a little BUT still a great, clean environement. Will definitlely be making the trip up here again for this, thank you! read more

I ordered the pork katsu and overall thought it was a good meal. The portions are quite large so I could eat the katsu for lunch and dinner. One thing that I was a bit disappointed at was the side of curry I got. The flavor and consistency was lacking and I personally felt like I could make better curry from a box. That being said, the katsu is flavorful and juicy! read more

the succulent, perfectly cooked pork, was a sensory delight. It was a testament to the skill of the chef who had mastered the art of precise frying. The cabbage provided a refreshing contrast, its crispness and mild bitterness serving as a palate cleanser between bites of the rich, fried pork. The Tonkatsu sauce, an essential component, was a blend of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. Its complex flavor profile provided a harmonious counterpoint to the fried cutlet, elevating each bite to new heights. It was a reminder that the Japanese take their condiments as seriously as the main dish itself. The miso soup, a comforting bowl of umami-rich goodness, was the perfect accompaniment. Its depth of flavor and the soothing warmth of the broth complemented the bold flavors of the Tonkatsu beautifully. The steamed rice, a staple in Japanese cuisine, provided a hearty base, allowing me to savor every drop of the delectable sauce. read more

Probably one of the best katsu that I had. The restaurant is really nice and clean looking. The staff were very kind and friendly. They helped us decide what to get since our first time there. I got the zenbu katsu because I wanted to try a little of everything. I'd recommend doing another set of rice and split this meal. It was a lot of food. My favorite piece was the scallop. Really good texture and everything was fried to perfection. There a light crispy crunch to each bite without it being overally oily. The lemon salt, house mayo and katsu were great. I like how there were options to dip your katsu in. read more

Saku was our first stop in Vancouver for dinner! Got in at around 8 on Sunday evening and no wait. QR code menu, but also physical menus available if requested. The interior design of this restaurant is gorgeous-- high ceilings, golden, and this luxurious feeling Order: -Cheese katsu- This caught my eye right away seeing other Yelp reviews. The cheese is wrapped with a very thin slice of pork. The panko was spot on delivering a nice and light crunch. The cheese melted nicely. Comes with a side of rice, soup, and cabbage salad. There's a lovely sesame dressing on the table to dress it and it's delicious. You grind the sesame seeds to mix with the katsu sauce. Adding the lemon salt gives this nice acidity to it. I recommend the zenbu katsu to try a bit of everything. They ran out of chicken thigh by the time we were there and had to be replaced with chicken breast. read more

Do you like to eat your katsu with Japanese curry? The gloomy weather lately called for some hot Japanese curry and crispy katsu from Saku Vancouver! ROSU CURRY ($22.50 CAD) Deep fried breaded pork loin with Saku's signature curry over rice. Their pork was moist and tender while their breading was light and subtle. This was great since the coating wasn't very oily or overpowering. Their curry was also very flavourful and had a good spice ratio. I enjoyed how they offered unlimited sides (rice, miso, salad) as it was a good way to counter the oils from the katsu. Also, because we came with large appetites when we came (haha). Overall, for our first time, it was a great and tasty experience amongst good food and great service. Looking forward to coming back again to try their other menu items! read more

Saku - Hire katsu and Cheese katsu on the side - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Wow what a long week! Tired! Started a new job and with so much going on. It's nice it's a long weekend! My gf and me went over the bridge and showed up at the London Drugs on West Broadway at around 8 pm.... We both got home late from work so it was close to 9 before we got to the Saku on West Broadway. I've never been in this Saku for dinner so let's give it a try. This Saku is very much like the flagship Robson store only less crowded and more interior space. I had the deep fried chicken thigh, my gf had the Hire... we shared the cheese and the scallop.... It was all good and we were not disappointed by the meal but I wouldn't say we were over the top with the meal either. The first thing my gf noticed was that perviously, they gave us some sesame to grind up, to spice our meat with. They don't offer that any more. I don't know maybe I have become jaded. I just thought the whole experience was ok. I guess sometimes when you're craving something new and exciting - the same old - just doesn't cut it! Still this place is a 4 star joint! Good friendly, attentive service and decent food! I'm looking forward to coming back when I'm more in the mood! read more

Finally made it out to Saku's second location. They're nestled in between Yolks and Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. We dropped in on a Wednesday (around 6:30pm) and there was a short wait (around 15 minutes). Put your name down on the waitlist tablet inside. The inside aesthetics are beautiful and spacious. Service is incredibly friendly and they came by consistently to see if we wanted side refills. Tonkatsu options consist of pork, chicken, seafood and veggies. They also have a couple Saku specials and add-on options. Minimum order requirements is one katsu per person. Rice, miso soup and cabbage is unlimited. - Sesame dressing - light and well balanced. - The Zenbu katsu ($32.00) - an assortment of all their meat offerings (aka. perfect for sharing). We added the share for two option ($8.00) which gets you an additional set of rice, miso and cabbage. Loved the miso soup. The breading that they use to cover the meat is fantastic; crunchy and satisfying. My favourite pieces were the chicken thigh (juicy and moist) followed by the ebi (perfect to dip with the tartar sauce). This easily fed the two of us. We actually had a few pieces to take home as leftovers. - Rosu katsu ($18.00) - deep fried breaded pork loin. This was N's first time trying tonkatsu and she loved it. She's already looking forward to coming back again. Will be back soon for more tonkatsu goodness. 4.5 stars. read more

We came on a weekday dinner around 5pm, and fortunately, they were able to give us a table for 4 adults and 2 kids. We ordered a bunch of dishes. Had to dock a star off as the pork loin katsu was not as tender as in Japan, so my toddler wouldn't eat it. However, he was a fan of the minced meat katsu. They provide free refills on their soups and salad. I love cabbage salad, and they brought a lot of refills out for me. The sesame dressing is on the table, but the yuzu dressing came only with one of our dining companion's dish. Both the sesame dressing and yuzu dressing were light and refreshing. Overall, this was a solid katsu place, and hubby had asked to come back again during our trip in Vancouver. read more

Finally dropping a review here for Saku! I have been hearing about this place so much that I had to try it myself. On top of that, during the whole pandemic this place was a huge hype. And tbh, this place didn't reach up to the hype I wanted it to be... SIGH. First things first, I don't like going to a restaurant and hearing that a bunch of stuff on the menu is not available. I was kinda sad that a lot of the appetizers were gone for the day. It's like they don't make enough of them for everyone that come here. And thank god I put my name down early for this place through the Yelp App, or we would be waiting for more than an hour here for a table.... That line up was atrocious. From what I am seeing here, the service really doesn't match up to the hype either. The waitress was kinda condescending and rude to us. I can literally feel the glare and the judgmental look coming from you. I am literally just here to have dinner, please stop heavily glaring at me. This time around I had to get the Cheese Katsu. It is extremely cheesy and delicious. I loved how the cheese literally oozed right out from the katsu perfectly right onto my bowl of rice. Yes, their food is great but now I just think I should just get things for take out instead of coming here for the amount of judgement and the bad service. I was really hyped for this place, but it looks like I'll be nice and give them a 3 star instead. read more
