I went to Yume Katsu and really enjoyed the food overall. I ordered the cheese katsu and the chicken katsu, and both were crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced. The texture was really satisfying and everything was nicely presented. The only downside was the side dishes -- they felt a bit limited in portion and variety, so the meal felt a little lighter than expected. It is a bit of a far drive for me, and while I liked it, I'm not sure I would drive across town just for it. I'd probably come back if I'm already in the area, but not go out of my way. read more

Yumee Katsu - Korean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was going through my Yelp recommendations and Yumee popped up. I love Korean food! The pictures others took made me hungry, and I needed an excuse to get something out haha. The location itself it gives a hole in the wall vibe, with some tables and chairs scattered around the dining room. You order at the kiosk and then pick up your food at the counter when your number is called. I got the chicken, Katsu curry and a small order of the soba . The meal is massive! The curry comes with a good portion of rice and a large chicken Katsu cutlet . With it comes a tempura, dipping sauce, dressed cabbage on the side and bonchon of kimchi and pickled radish, perfect palette, cleansers, and snacks! The soda came in a cold broth, and it was extremely refreshing and delicious, it reminded me of my time in Japan . The curry was perfect with a bit of sweetness and a hint of a chocolatey flavor, but with a savory base. The whole meal was perfect, and the service was wonderful, I will definitely be back. The portions were amazing for the price, which was not a wallet buster! read more

This place was just okay! First let me start off with what threw me off the most: on all tables was a QR code saying they will give you a free beverage for a 4 star or higher review. Are all the high reviews on this place really honest or did they want a free beverage? We just came back from Japan where we ate plenty of Katsu and my husband wanted to take me out to surprise me as he saw good reviews on this place. We ordered on an iPad at the front door and prices were pretty high but we came far so that didn't stop us. He got chicken katsu and I got pork curry katsu. The restaurant was half full which made us feel like it was a good choice, but they must have been there because I think all foods are cooked one at a time it was so slow to get our food. I'd think it was fresher, but the curry was lukewarm and the rice was cold. There was heavy seasoning on the katsu and rice but no katsu sauce offered. The cabbage had a strange dressing on it served to us, it tasted like applesauce? Not sure where other reviews say no tipping because the iPad definitely had a section for tipping. Please note that they do not serve you here - you grab your drink from a cooler, you pick up your food at the counter and you place your dirty tray on their rack. For the price and the quality, I can't say we'll be back. Just a pre-heads up on the potentially unhonest reviews on here for an exchange of a free item, we wish we knew that before we came. read more

Honestly really impressed with this katsu spot! It was a little pricier than I expected, but it also came with a lot more food than I expected! The fry on the katsu is so good, it's like light and crispy and not super bready. I really liked the assorted katsu but I wish it also came with the fish katsu so that you really can try a bit of everything. The shrimp katsu was a big favorite of mine too. Again the fry was amazing and the shrimp itself was so soft it all practically dissolves in your mouth. The curry is also really good. It tastes like grocery store curry but in a good way, like very homey and familiar. I also love all the side dishes. The pickled veggies and cabbage work so well in brightening the heaviness of everything. And I really loved the wasabi and salt on the katsu. The soup was also really good, and it had a bit of heat to it which was nice. Only things to note are that if you get the cheese katsu, make sure to eat it when it's hot. It's not as good when it cools. And also you order off kiosk which is all good and dandy, but it's so close to the door that once it starts getting busy in here, the entrance way gets so clogged full of people. read more

Yum! This just opened and I was so excited to try it! It's a no frills restaurant with a kiosk in the front where you can order from. My friends got some katsu entrees and I got the tofu soup. When it came out we were pleasantly surprised by the presentation, it came with a bunch of sides and was a great portion. Once we tried our food everyone immediately agreed that we picked a good spot to try. Instantly we knew we would be coming back again. The service was also good as well, even though there is limited interaction with the employees the ones we did have were great. Very friendly and they even asked across the counter if we enjoyed it. Loved the place and hope to come back soon! read more

I finally made it to Yumee Katsu in the Woo Sung market plaza and it was everything I hoped for. The closest thing I've found to teishoku dining in the area! I had to start with my favorite dish, curry katsu, and because the place is making both Japanese and Korean dishes it came with spicy and sweet pickled radishes, a cabbage salad with a sweet tangy dressing, and a cup of broth with some tempura puffy bits soaking in it. The pork katsu was expertly fried, crunchy to the last piece but not rock hard or too thick, and perfectly tender and juicy pork within. The curry wasn't overly sweet and had that silky richness that you don't get with box roux so you know they're doing it from scratch. My friend got the udon which has a light broth, nice thick and chewy noodles, fried bean curd strips, tempura bits, scallions and seaweed. We also tried the tempura shrimp which had the same perfect crust but creamy and sweet inside. Don't be thrown by the $20 curry katsu price on the kiosk, it doesn't mention the sides and soup included and it was very filling. Absolutely worth the price. The place is self-serve but the staff were still present and very welcoming and attentive. It's quiet and clean, not a lot of decor aside from mouthwatering photos of the food. If I had just a few suggestions that would bring this place to a 11/10 it would be some togarashi available on the tables (I enjoy a bit more spice) and the option to add an egg in the udon. Otherwise zero notes, I will be making it a point to go back as often as possible to try all their menu - definitely need to give the cheese katsu a try and the soondubu. read more

Love the kiosk order, no tipping system here like they have in Atlanta! Order by kiosk, grab your own drink and meal from counter, and put your own tray back and the food is GOOD! This is a Korean owned katsu place. We got the curry pork katsu with both rice and udon, and the fish katsu. Highly recommend asking for wasabi which was mellow enough to add a great flavor add to both the fish and the pork. Curry was flavorful, sweet, and not spicy at all for my scaredy cat tastes! Fish katsu came with a tartar sauce and each item had a nice cook and crisp! Wish the tonkatau was slightly more fattier but overall would definitely come back! Cabbage salad had a sweeter pear style dressing. Same plaza as Woosung Korean market for asian grocery shopping and Skycraft Parts & Surplus for electronic parts. There are some differences between their online menu with the kiosk having more options available. Would recommend to the owners a second kiosk to keep the front moving if it gets busy. read more

The katsu itself is great and i love to get a side of curry to dip it in. read more

Yumee Katsu is specializing in Korean-influenced katsu, known for being exceptionally crispy. It's a quick counter self service restaurant, however all food is made to order so it may take some time but it definitely worth the wait. The King Don Katsu on their menu is massive, king-sized panko-breaded pork cutlet that is very Instagram worthy. The Assorted Katsu has the trio including pork, shrimp, and cheese katsu, great for the people like me who have hard time making decisions. Both dishes I had today were great at the portion sizes and reasonably priced. Although the interior dining area was just simply decorated with few food pictures and totally not fancy at all, I still think it is a great lunch spot and will recommend it to everyone I know. read more

We came to this place specially in search of the cheese katsu! We shared the dish because it was too much for any of us as an entree. Cheese melted perfectly within its panko crust served with a light cabbage salad, a soup, a dab of wasabi and a tamarind sauce. The chicken and pork katsu were cooked perfectly and served with the same cabbage salad. The side of kimchi and daikon pickles were great companions to this dish! Self service in this establishment from placing the order at the screen at the door to bussing your own table. Personally would have liked to see a "cleaning station" that holds paper towels and sanitizer to clean tables but it wasn't in place this visit. We sat at one of the tables without crumbs....this was the only down side.They have a no tipping policy in place, a unique concept in this country! read more

Went to check out this place last night with some friends and it was sooo yummy. We were surprised the food came out pretty quick. We ordered the king don katsu which is the BIG crispy piece of pork and the curry udon katsu and they both came with some side dishes. The curry for the udon was very rich and flavorful. Definitely worth it for the price and we plan on coming back to try other dishes. read more

If you're craving a comforting, crispy, and satisfying Japanese meal, **Yumee Katsu** is one of those hidden gems that truly delivers. Tucked along Lee Road, this spot might seem low-key from the outside, but don't let that fool you -- the food here speaks for itself. The location is convenient, and there's even a little green market nearby, which adds a nice local touch. While I did have one random encounter with a slightly questionable crowd, it was honestly just a one-time thing. Every other visit has been smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable. One thing I really appreciate is how modern and efficient the ordering process is. They have a **self-ordering kiosk**, which makes everything super easy -- no pressure, no rush, and you can take your time browsing the menu. It's perfect if you already know what you want or if you're like me and need a minute to decide because everything sounds good. Now let's talk about the food -- because this is where Yumee Katsu shines. The **katsu here is the star of the show**. Perfectly breaded, golden, and fried to that ideal crisp on the outside while staying juicy and tender on the inside. Whether you go for pork, chicken, or another option, it's consistently well-executed and super satisfying. One of my favorite parts is all the **side dishes and variety** they offer. From fresh cabbage salad to rice and flavorful sauces, everything complements the main dish so well. The balance of textures -- crispy, crunchy, savory -- just hits every time. And if you're into Japanese comfort food, their menu goes beyond just katsu. There are plenty of options to explore, which makes it easy to come back again and again without getting bored. The **staff are friendly and welcoming**, even with the self-service setup. If you need anything, they're quick to help and make sure you're taken care of. The overall vibe is casual and laid-back -- nothing fancy, just good food done right. It's the kind of place you go to when you want something filling, affordable, and consistently delicious. **Final thoughts:** Crispy, juicy katsu done right Easy and convenient self-order system Great variety and satisfying portions Friendly, no-fuss atmosphere A solid local go-to spot This place definitely hits the spot every time. Simple, comforting, and worth coming back for. read more

We ordered the yumee katsu, curry katsu, and katsu curry udon. We have been to the location in Atlanta and had high expectations. They hit on all cylinders! The katsu was thick and moist and delicious. We had to ask for more dipping sauce but they kindly provided more. There is plenty of seating and clean. We will definitely be back to try other items like the spicy pork katsu and soondubu. read more

Wonderful food, amazing staff, and service. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was fresh delicious well-made, and very enjoyable. You can't go wrong here. Everything is top-notch. The restaurant is clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. read more

We came to Yumee Katsu thinking it was Japanese because we had katsu during a trip to Japan. When we arrived, we realized it's actually Korean--but what a great surprise! I ordered the Yumee Katsu and my husband had the Chicken Katsu. Both were delicious, crispy, and very satisfying. The flavors really reminded us of the katsu we enjoyed on our trip to Japan. Great food and a nice experience that brought back good memories. We would definitely come back! read more

I had to take out, delicious amazing tasty unique. Highly recommend mild unless he likes spicy.

Great food and friendly owners. We stopped in and tried the bi bim bop, pork katsu, chicken katsu, fish katsu, spicy pork, and udon. All were prepared fresh (so prepare for a short wait) and really well done. The fish and chicken katsu were our favorites as the breading was really light and flaky, portions were generous, meat was still moist, and neither was greasy. The udon (a great option for kids) broth was actually flavorful, which can be difficult for fast food Asian. Will definitely return on our next trip back to the area. read more

I've been here twice since opening and can't wait to come back again! Food here is served in great portions, and the whole experience feels like a nice home-cooked meal. I've enjoyed the chicken more than the pork so far, and also enjoyed their udon. Great meal at a great price, one of my new go-to spots! read more

Very good food and en excellent service. Family friendly. Dine in and very tasty food.
