Bad
- Super casual just go up and order
Overall would come again! It’s an underground gem
This was ok. Food was decent but there were a ton of fruit flies and it really bothered me. The katsu seemed fresh and was very crispy. I actually really liked the pasta salad that came with the bento.
This would be 3.5 but there is no 3.5 stars here. Had Katsu curry. Japanese curry are usually have consistent saltiness across different places but this one has no salt at all. I got 1 pack of salt with the to-go bag but it was not enough. That tells you how it’s almost no salt. The taste of the port katsu was okay. They charged extra for using a credit card.

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.
