Katsu curry bowl was a solid and quick lunch option. Would be even better on a cold SF day. Ordering on the screens was easy and the service was quick. The katsu itself was crispy and tender but a little under seasoned for me. The curry was well seasoned however and with a bit of togarashi (on each table) it was easy to dial in the spice level. Will def be back!
My go-to place when I want some nice katsu ☺
I loved this place I’ve come twice
Good
- The chicken katsu Sando set is such a great value for price
- Loved how juicy the sandwich was
- Miso soup was so hearty and refreshing
- The place is very cute and the service is pretty fast
- Comes with desert too so it’s great value
Bad
- Super casual just go up and order
Overall would come again! It’s an underground gem

Katsu-ya is a restaurant located in an underground food court, offering a surprising dining experience. The restaurant is praised for its thinly sliced cabbage, good wasabi salad dressing, and satisfying Katsu sandwiches. The Katsu sandwiches are noted to be pricey but comparable to limited options in the area, and come with a variety of sides like macaroni salad and sesame balls. The underground location adds a quirky, clandestine vibe, catering primarily to nearby office workers. While the restaurant may be easy to miss, it provides a good work lunch option with quick service and reasonable prices for the San Francisco area. Delivery often arrives in perfect condition, and they can always be counted on for amazing katsu. They also cater for corporate lunches and events, with large portions. The owner is also very friendly. Recent reviews mention that it’s a convenient spot in FiDi, sharing space with another eatery, making it a solid choice for lunch or dinner. Customers appreciate the generous portions, with some sharing a tonkatsu sando meal that is enough for two. The food is well-executed, especially the tonkotsu sando, which is priced accordingly. People are planning to try the ebikatsu sando and donburi now that they have experienced the classics. However, some experiences have been less ideal, like a late visit where the dining room was unexpectedly closed without a clear sign, resulting in having to find a place to eat nearby. Nonetheless, the food that was served, including the miso soup and sandos, was tasty, although the sandos were slightly tepid. Overall, the restaurant continues to be a popular, quick, and satisfying choice in the area.
