    Katsu with ddukbokki
    Jeremy M.

    2nd time here. Quality of the king katsu is really good. The sauce that comes with it really hits the spot as well. This time I got the katsu with ddukbokki and it definitely satisfied my craving. Portions are big and the salad is refreshing with a citrus taste to help with the spiciness of the food. Service is really friendly and responsive as well. Def recommend!

    Assorted Katsu Add On Mini Udon -- delicious combo of everything! Love the side dishes of radish, cabbage salad with a citrus sauce and a light soup. I liked the variety of katsu. Shrimp was very light, cheese katsu was nice despite it getting a little cold to not have a cheese pull, katsu was not overcooked and fresh and flakey. Curry Katsu Rice -- curry sauce was delicious and not thick. The same side dishes come with every dish. Overall quick service, delicious food, easy to order through the kiosk.

    Katsu Curry Udon

    Came here for a quick bite and tried the Curry Katsu Udon. It was solid and exactly what I was expecting: good comfort food, nothing too over-the-top. The pickle banchan and side salad were a nice touch and really refreshing between bites of the curry. ​One thing to note: you order directly from the tablet at the table, which I didn't realize at first, but it made the service super fast. The atmosphere was a nice surprise too, they were playing K-pop and the place has a much stronger Korean vibe than I initially thought. Definitely a cool spot!

    Ordered delivery and couldn't make up my mind about which protein I wanted, so yay for the Assorted Katsu. You get to try the pork katsu, shrimp katsu, and cheese katsu. I liked it. It was like a momma's home cookin'. Comes with rice, salad, soup, sides of sauce, wasabi, kimchi, and pickled radish - making excellent flavor combinations. I knocked off a star though because even with putting the side of soup in its own little separate bag, it's still spilled so I only ended up with half of it.

    Pork katsu curry with udon

    This strip mall is pretty busy with several other restaurants. I've been to a few restaurants in this mall. Every table was full when we arrived, we put in our name and waited about 5 minutes. A menu is on the side of the table that you can order from. We put in our orders and I thought the pork looked a little under cooked so I sent it back asking for it to be not pink. The manager came over and said it was fine but if you want it cooked longer he would send it back. I had the chicken katsu with curry. I liked my katsu curry and want to try the chewy noodles next visit.

    It's a small restaurant, gets a little busy and crowded during peak hours in the evening. However, even during busy times the staff is attentive and friendly. The tonkatsu they make here is delicious. The choice of pork they use is very tender, even when it's thick slices. The food is served with small side dishes and a hot soup. It's very well balanced. Try Yumee Katsu if you're in Dublin.

    I was unsure about this Korean katsu place at first because it was not Japanese katsu. Maybe it was more fusion than anything, but either way it was so good! Katsu was prepared so well and flavors really popped! Service was incredibly attentive and quick even tho it got busy at dinner hour. Overall the place is kinda small but they have that small Korean/Japanese restaurant vibe that goes well with the whole experience. Would come again to try more in the future!

    [IN A NUTSHELL] great korean food, cheese katsu, chewy noodles [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] A great place for some good katsu if you are looking for a place for that. Came here for dinner and it was a great place to have dinner. The place is around other restaurants and the katsu was crunchy and deliious. The highlight to me was the chewy noodles. Most of the time people want more soft noodles but these were so chewy and in my opinion, the best thing that we tried. I thought the cheese katsu would be the best, but there was no cheese pull HAHA. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.38/5 Shrimp Curry Udon $20.99 (2.5/5) -Honestly dissaoppointed by this dish... The curry was super good and it was more flavorful which I enjoyed. The udon was also good, but I think it was overcooked and became too soft. It broke as soon as I lifted it. The most disspointing portion of this was the shrimp tempura. The batter to shrimp ratio was terrible. There was way too much batter that I thought that the shrimp was grounded shrimp mushed together. After further inspection, I realized that it was just too much batter. I would recommend getting a curry dish, but not this one. ** Yumee Katsu $17.99 (4/5) ** -Pork Katsu Cutlet with Side Dishes -A very good cut of katsu pork cutlet. The crush of the katsu was crunch and I really liked the flakiness of the breading. The pork was super soft/juicy and esepcially good dipped in the katsu sauce (or the curry). I would recommend getting this one but with curry. The salad that it comes with it had a yuzu taste to it that I apprecitaed. They also recommend the wasabi to be dipped with the katsu which I thought was a good flavor profile. Cheese Katsu (6pcs) $11.99 (3/5) -As I right this, I realzied that it said 6 pieces.... and we only got 4 pieces :( rip HAHA -For flavor and overall dish, this one was good and it's always nice seeing a pool of cheese. However, there was no cheese pull and unsure if this was due to the fact that it was cold or if it was not the right type of cheese. The breading was the same as the katsu and I would recommend if you cheese. I also dipped this in the currey sauce which may have made it better since it was lacking some flavor. ** Chicken Katsu Spicy Chewy Noodle Spicy $17.99 (4/5) ** -THE STAR DISH -This was my favorite dish of the night. The chewy noodles were super good. For those who can not handle spice, this was not that spicy to me. The noodles were super chewy and I cannot describe it other than delicious. This is not the typical noodles that you order but I really like the chewyness of this one. I wish that they gave it into a bowl instead

    King Don Katsu
    Abbe W.

    This place has really good katsu. You can get katsu in pork, chicken, fish, cheese, shrimp, etc. This is a very popular place for family. We came here over MLK weekend and around noon. The wait was around 45 minutes. I ordered King Don Katsu and I was sharing with my mother in law. The size was huge. I got it with regular sauce to try. It's tomato based and no spice at all. My daughter got the curry katsu and it had a good spice level to it. It was still a pretty big portion. Great place for family but expect a wait.

    New katsu spot in the east bay, yay! They're located near the Target by the Livermore outlets. We visited for a weekend lunch and walked in without a wait, but quickly afterward the restaurant began to fill up QUICKLY and by the time we left, there was a huge queue outside of the restaurant. The restaurant is pretty small so be prepared for a wait if you're coming at a busy time. My BF and I only ordered two things to share: the regular curry katsu and tteokbokki. The curry was rich and delicious! The katsu was alright; some pieces were a bit dry. My favorite between the two was surprisingly the tteokbokki lol. The rice cakes were SUPER good and the sauce was at the perfect spice level for me. Ordering is done via an iPad at your table so there's minimal interaction with the server.

    Curry Katsu Rice

    I finally had the chance to try this place. It's not bad. I ordered the Curry Katsu Rice. It came with a small miso soap, small pickled radish? (It was crunchy and light green), small kimchi Curry: It was tasty Katsu: breading was mediocre and the pork wasn't bad. Their price is kinda high, considering it doesn't come with a lot of sides. Also, their Yumee Katsu doesn't come with rice. Definitely explore other options Their

    Chicken curry katsu, with cabbage salad, pickles and broth
    Eric L.

    Good food, expertly fried chicken katsu, not too greasy pairs with delicious mild curry and rice. Order from a tablet from your table and wait for the food to come out. Fast casual vibe, don't expect waiter service. Can get a little crowded during lunch time. The parking lot nearby can fill up during peak meal times, but there is a much larger lot nearby which has unlimited space.

    Regular katsu with a side of udon
    Samantha F.

    1.1.26 NY Dinner! I was super excited to try this new katsu spot as there are a few in the bay area. FOOD: They have a variety of katsu dishes including regular katsu with rice +sauce, katsu curry and katsu udon. We ordered: - katsu curry: this dish was flavorful and so good that my faincee finished every grain of rice! It also came with some sides of cabbage, pickled veggies and soup which was a nice addition! - katsu + side of udon: the side of udon was an extra $4, but total worth because I was cravy something soupy, but also wanted katsu + rice. The wasbi and sauce combo works very well and balances the fattiness of the pork (not that it was fatty at all). The pork was perfectly cooked and so succulent! SERVICE: Warm servers who are very welcoming and super friendly. They greeted as we entered, checked to make sure everything was good and bid us farewell. AMBIANCE: This is a korean katsu shop, so they had kpop playing, cute decor and each table is equipped with au ordering tablet which streamlines everything. Overall, I would recommend and definitely return to try their other katsus!

It used to be you can only join where you come near the restaurant. It must be only for busy days like Mother's Day? There was a sheet offering specials for Mother's Day, cocktails, mocktails, a kurobuta pork belly and 2 desserts. We ordered our usual fare. Great service by Ariel, she handled everything as a pro, even with the crazy business. Food came out with no delay. The only change that we noticed id the teriyaki beef. The rib eye was usually so tender and juicy, everybody that we invited here were amazed how tender and great they were. Yes, we came here quite often, and brought every and all out of town guests here. But today they were tough, on the dry side, even though cooked Rare and MediumRare. All 3 steaks. So disappointed. We finished with the Biscoff cookie sundae, which they had for Valentine, a tempura fried ice cream dessert with crumbles of Biscoff cookies and caramel drizzles. So good. The room was busy with laughter and guests enjoying the food and company on this holiday.

The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

The wait on a Friday night was a bit longer than expected than what was shown when we first joined the waitlist. Service here is fast though! We did get seated by the kitchen, so it was a bit hectic with staff constantly rushing behind us. We got the premium set and the meat quality was great. The vegetable platter that came with the set had a nice variety of fresh veggies. We ordered udon noodles but what we got was broken up pieces of frozen noodles that looked only to be half a serving. Other than that we still enjoyed our meal and were both stuffed. Personally I'd choose the Emeryville location over this one just because it's bigger and you're not sharing a table with other guests as much.

I have always had fond memories of this place, even with it being constantly packed and busy, and with limited seating. I finally had the chance to revisit recently, and brought my husband along. We went on a Sunday, so it was inevitably packed. The parking lot is as crusty as I remember, but that's part of what makes no-frills, hole-in-the-wall restaurants solid. The ambiance inside is loud and cramped, but we were here for the food. Service was decent, all the servers were so busy taking care of everyone, I can only imagine the chaos in the kitchen. And hands down did the food deliver. The price of everything was reasonable, and the flavors were delicious. I went with the dduk bulgogi while my husband went with the mixed soondubu (medium spicy). The banchan variety was splendid, and honestly I couldn't choose a favorite. I loved the creamy potato and corn mixture, since that was unique. Sometimes restaurants skimp on banchan portions, but not here. My dduk bulgogi was packed with veggies, rice cakes, tender beef, and glass noodles. The broth had a good depth of flavor, and was not oily or rich. My husband's mixed soondubu was also delightful. I had a quick sip of his broth and it had a lovely umami flavor. The spice level was perfect. We did both wonder, however, why his bowl didn't come out bubbling while mine did. Regardless, it was still steaming hot. Both portions of soup were served with rice, and we thoroughly enjoyed taking our time savoring each bite. I dumped the remainder of my rice into the broth at the very end and that was the perfect way to end our meal. We are almost never in Hayward, since we generally frequent other parts of the bay, but I would definitely return and try some other dishes next time. Everyone always orders the seafood pancake (and a ton of people were when we went and it looked so good). Of course if I had enough stomach space, I would have ordered that too. Well that just means I have to go back, haha. All in all, don't let the location or exterior fool you. The food is solid and The Sister House is definitely one of my favorite Korean spots in the bay.
