Kagura Costa Mesa is a hidden gem that serves authentic Tonkatsu dishes, featuring a variety of pork cuts with different levels of fattiness served fresh on a rack. The menu includes popular items like pork loin tonkatsu, pork tonkatsu curry, and set menus with pork katsu and beef katsu. Each entree comes with rice, shredded cabbage salad, miso soup, and a small side dish, making it a great value. The food is often praised for its tender meat and amazing crunch, never soggy. The beef katsu and beef sando are cooked to medium rare, perfect for those who enjoy a slightly bloody texture; leftovers reheated in a toaster oven still taste great. Customers believe this is the go-to spot for quality tonkatsu outside Japan. They appreciate the amazing quality and value of the meat. Many visitors have had positive experiences with the service, noting quick seating and timely order delivery, even during busy times. The ambiance is also inviting, reminiscent of katsu places in Japan. Although some past reviews mentioned inconsistent service, recent feedback highlights the efficiency and attentiveness of the staff, making many eager to return for the delicious katsu. It’s advised to arrive early, as the restaurant tends to fill up quickly.
