Services are quick and good. Prices are reasonable. The Premium Gyukatsu Beef cutlets are very delicious. (Recommend middle-well) Spicy Chicken Cream Fried Noodles is good and creamy too. Probably come back for udon or lunch set here.
Little expensive but no waiting, everything is good.Please pardon me for the picture,

Parking can be a challenge depending on what time of the day. The menu does have some images to help illustrate the food. Staff is friendly, service is quick, we stopped by during lunch time. When we arrived the place was empty, when we left it was packed. The food portion is just right, does not put you into the food coma afterwards. They do have high chairs, so definitely kid friendly. This restaurant is located on the corner right across from where Daiso is located.

I absolutely do not recommend wagyu for $99. The quality is poor compared to the price and the capacity is poor. Very thin wagyu that weighs less than 100g costs $99? It was frozen meat. One experience is enough. If you want to eat meat, go somewhere else.

I loved visiting this restaurant. The concept was spectacular: you are served rare beef katsu and given a hot stone to grill your katsu on. I had the tenderloin beef katsu and it was fantastic, while my friend enjoyed the curry rice thoroughly. The staff was helpful and service was fast, and the environment of the restaurant was superb with nice interior decor. This is a great date spot or place to take friends. I would definitely recommend it for the unique experience. It can get a little pricey if you opt for their katsu experience, but I think the quality of the meat and the experience make up for it.

Recommend by a friend. Wanted to try a new place in the Rowland Heights area. This is located on a strip mall area and there is private parking. At the time we went there was plenty of parking and we were seated right away. Upon entering the restaurant, there is a ipad to put your name on the waiting list for those really busy days. We ordered the beef cutlet combo. Looking at the picture on the menu, the portion seemed too much for one person alone so my friend and I decided to share this order and we asked for a extra bowl of cabbage and dressing ($2 more). This was a new experience to cook your protein on a stone pot type. The quality of the meat was good and all the sides that came along with the menu is tasty as well. Service by the staff was excellent. We requested for more sides a few times and our server was always so pleasant . Ambiance is casual. They are able to accommodate large parties as they have a few long tables. Enjoyed our first experience here and will have to bring my husband here one day.

Food was pretty mid.Went here for a friendsgiving. My wife got the chicken katsu. I got the chicken bowl... it was lacking in flavor mostly. Needless to say we will not be going back.

Kobe Gyukatsu is so delicious! I've never tried the Arcadia location, so it was nice to stop by while I was in Rowland. We got the Beef Gyukatsu and the Cream Curry Udon. The beef gyukatsu was so good! Very tender beef no matter how long/short you cook it. It comes with soup salad, wasabi, horseradish sauce, and a sweet shoyu. You get to cook it on the grill that they provide and it's just a very fun meal (and tasty too)! The cream curry udon is good, but I wouldn't get it again. It's a bit heavy and the udon becomes soft if it sits for too long. The portion is quite big so I would say it's good for sharing. Free parking in the parking lot. They have restrooms for customers. Servers are super attentive and they're generally pretty empty most weeknights. You can call ahead to order to-go.
The food is really delicious. I loved everything we ordered - the beef tongue dinner set, the gyukatsu set, and the curry udon. The beef tongue is marinated and they give you a few different types of flavored salt to dip. The gyukatsu comes with a horseradish type sauce and it goes really well with the meat. Of course the concept of cooking it all yourself on a small hot plate is cool too. I was originally worried that the curry udon would be too heavy which is often the case with curry dishes, but it wasn't at all. It was creamy and light. 5/5 in my book. The reason for the 4 stars is the service. We had a really weird experience with the server. It was like he kept trying to rush us out even though we arrived just before 7 pm and they didn't close until 830 pm. There was a customer who walked in towards the end of our meal so it's not like we were the only ones left. We weren't even done eating one of the sets and he took it away without asking. He tried to come back and do it again so I told him we're still working on the food. The place wasn't even packed. The guy looked and acted really awkward and it made us uncomfortable. Service aside, the food is worth coming for though.

forget anything I said before, this is my new favorite gyukatsu place? Beef Gyukatsu? Kelp Egg? Corn CheeseI have been wanting to visit this restaurant for months now and what better time than the day we went to Oogie Boogie.Everything was soooo freaking delicious. The beef gyukatsu was absolutely amazing. Their kelp egg was so flavorful. The combo of these 2 things was to die for like soooo good.The corn cheese was probably the best corn cheese I’ve ever had. And not pictured here but we also tried their wagyu skewers and with lemon it was sooo freaking tasty. If I wasn’t food coma full already I probably would’ve ordered more of the skewer tbh.10/10 will go back and I’m actually already thinking of reasons for me to come back to the area so I can have it again lol.

I love my experience in here.I called before I came for a reservation. They told me no reservation needed for party less than 6, I can just walk in. It's pretty slow on Friday around 4pm. So we got seated right away.The cheese cutlets was full of melted cheese inside with crispy skin around it, and the sauce on the side to paired with was bomb. The creamy curry udon is very tasty, it's very hot inside cause the cream on top sealed the heat from evaporating, gotta be patient when eating it.The mixed tempura was another surprise. The veggie tasted extra crunchy and sweet, nobody gonna hate veggies when it's cooked like this lol. I'm glad I gave this place a try.

I love this place ever since it opened up. There are not too many good katsu places around in Rowland Heights or Diamond Bar (except Midoh). The service here is solid, and the ambiance is alright, but that's not what you really come here for. It's the food here that makes this place stand out. I've been here so many times back and forth trying all their dishes. My go-to's are the premium cutlet and the spicy pork cutlet - on a more regular basis the spicy pork cutlet is a must!I love that a solid Japanese katsu place is so close and conveniently close by and that I don't have to drive so far out (this is my personal bias given my circumstances!). Hence, I will always be here~

SERVICEKobe Gyukatsu in the 626 area is a must try for any socal foodie! I'd give it a solid 5/5 for sure. The folks there are super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. They're also really helpful with menu suggestions, so you can't go wrong.TASTENow, onto the food - wow! The creamy curry udon is something else. Seriously, it's like a warm hug in a bowl. I've never tasted udon quite like this, and it hit all the right spots. You've gotta try it if you're into unique and comforting Japanese eats. And let's not forget the gyukatsu. The beef is incredibly tender and high quality. Each bite is pure heaven. What sets this place apart is the sauce game!! They've got a bunch of sauces to choose from, so you can mix and match to your heart's content. It adds a fun twist to your meal.PRICEThe only tiny drawback is the price - it's a bit on the expensive side. We split the creamy udon and the Gyukatsu and it ran both us around ~$30. But honestly, with the top-notch service, quality ingredients, and unique flavors, I'd say it's worth the splurge for a memorable meal.
Services are quick and good. Prices are reasonable. The Premium Gyukatsu Beef cutlets are very delicious. (Recommend middle-well) Spicy Chicken Cream Fried Noodles is good and creamy too. Probably come back for udon or lunch set here.
