You walk into this little room with a bunch of lockers and a tablet... you show the tablet your order on your phone. It'll either pull up how much longer till your order is ready or it says a locker number, pops open that locker, grab your food and walk out. No contact with a person at all.
My fav katsu in the Bay Area! The meat is super fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The katsu bowl portion size is just right for one person, and the sauce has a wonderfully balanced flavor. Highly recommend!
I ordered the Chicken Tenderloin Curry Don and the Miso soup. Overall the curry was on the bland/plain side and I couldn’t really taste much flavor. The chicken was crispy but again, it lacked flavor. The rice was mushy and sticky as if sushi rice. The miso soup didn’t have tofu and only a few tiny rings of green onions. I would be expecting more for the price. Also, no complementary sauces such as spicy/hot sauce were provided. The portion was okay, though. All and all, it...read full review

Amazing Katsu is a notable restaurant that specializes in tonkatsu, recognized as one of the most authentic options outside of Japan, particularly in the Bay Area. Customers praise the thick, crunchy, and juicy pork cutlets served over rice, complemented by fresh, super thin cabbage and a side of karashi, adding to the authentic experience. The katsu sauce is described as well-balanced, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
The restaurant operates as a ghost kitchen, requiring customers to place orders online and pick them up from lockers, making the process unique and contactless. While some reviewers initially had doubts about the quality of katsu from a locker setup, they were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail, including a vent hole in the takeout box to keep the katsu crispy.
Although the food has received high marks, there are mentions of inconsistency in freshness and crispiness on subsequent visits. Many diners express a strong desire to return, especially for the tonkatsu, emphasizing the overall quality and flavor. Amazing Katsu is recommended for anyone seeking a delicious and authentic katsu experience.
