There is this one girl who’s always working night shifts and that freaking girl server is so weird she looks at the people and starts judging them me and my friends were in shocked when she did this to us and we left after that and never coming back she should be

Overall it was okay. The food was alright but it came out pretty slow. Honestly it's something I could make at home, so I wouldn't come back again. However I did order the cauliflower tempura and that was the highlight

Used to love this place and ordered from it often through door dash but today we ordered the mushroom curry and cauliflower curry plate and they both had sand and rocks in the food! I've never had this experience before in my life at a restaurant or take out ! this is scary I don't know how foreign objects end up in both curry plates but I will not order from this place again!!

Update, came to try their version of rosé tteokbokki because I'm all about that these days. Lol. My son also got the katsu curry. First of all the tteokbokki. It was pretty good. Could maybe use a touch more cream, but otherwise was very good. I finished the whole thing and was very full. There was the usual suspects, rice cakes, fish cakes, cabbage, and some kind of broad glass noodle? I've never seen that before and I thought maybe some plastic or something might have fallen in by accident but it was clearly meant to be part of the dish. I didn't hate it. The chicken katsu was excellent. Breading was good and proper and the meat was moist and tender.The katsu curry was well plated. Curry sauce was much better than before. Thicker and not as runny. Flavor was good too. The arugula salad was delicious and a good punchy, fresh element to cut the richness of the curry. I like the pickled radish but I also would have liked the regular radish kimchi in addition but they didn't provide it. All in all, totally satisfying and the girl who helped us was nice too. I will definitely be returning.

3 couples visited had following dishes:2 appetizers(chicken and mushrooms)2 Curry rice plate, 6 of tofu wrapped rices, Portobello mushroom sandwich, caprese sandwich, and had 6 beers for total of $150. Great Deal.2 ladies were very cordial and serviced busy clients. Food was tasty, good quality, portions were just right. Price was by far the best for its food.fyi,There seems to be lots of take out orders.

Located off Crenshaw Bl in Torrance. It's in the strip plaza which shares the parking lot with the other businesses and can get filled up fast depending on the time of day. Also getting in and out could be a challenge depending on which direction you come from. The place has indoor seating. Take out orders you place on the electronic pad at the counter. The gal working was helpful. The service was pretty quick. I got the dill egg salad Sando and the chicken Katsu w/ fries sando. Both were good. Overall a great place to either dine in or take out if you are a Katsu fan. If you like egg salad I definitely recommend the dill egg salad sando.

We saw pictures and thought the food looked so good but it’s definitely not as good as it looks. We got the egg sando and it turned out to be a pre packaged refrigerated egg sandwich. We also got the Nashville hot chicken and it was sooo sweet like sugar overload. The waffle fries were good. But yah I wouldn’t go back it looks good in pictures but the taste doesn’t match.

First time here, a friend recommended it and it was worth a try! Inside the small plaza across the street from the huge plaza with Vons, KBBQ, home depot, In-N-Out, etc. Is this place. Good food, simple, quality meat. The service was great, wasn't busy, young man was super helpful and polite, thank you. I enjoyed the spicy katsu chicken burger, the waffle fries included are also really good. No complaints.

Came here after a Costco run the place wasn't busy at all seems like they had a lot of to go orders. Over all the food was great loved everything we ordered. The service was quick and fast and the inside was very clean. Definitely want to come back so I can try more things on the menu. The katsu was also fried perfectly crunchy and soft and not to much oil.

Stumbled across this place when we tried to go to Gyu-Kaku across the way and at 4pm they gave us a 3 and a half hour wait time. What even?! Doesn't matter, we were better off finding Katsu Bar!When I say this place was DELICIOUS... that is an understatement. We got the Korean Chicken bites as an appetizer with the spicy sauce. This chicken was fried to absolute PERFECTION. And it was piping hot as well! We got the spicy, so I also added the garlic mayo sauce to help cool things down. That sauce was AMAZING.At this point, hopes are high for the entrees. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. I ordered the spicy curry udon with pork katsu. My boyfriend got the rosemary katsu sandwich with the pork cutlet and the berry katsu sauce. I tried a bite of the sandwich first and had instant fomo. Sooooo good! My entree was just as delicious.Would absolutely recommend everyone to come eat here! We will be back again and again.

Now this is my type of "bar"!Came for dinner on a Friday night and luckily there was no wait! It did take a bit to be seated as it seems they are a bit short staffed, but the service was pleasant nonetheless. The atmosphere was welcoming. There are so many different options to choose from and my favorite dish of the night was definitely the rose tteokbokki paired with the katsu sando! The flavors were on point and the textures of each dish melded well with the spicy chewy and the crunchy salty, so good! Parking was easy but I feel it could get busy during peak hours as there are many other stores in the little plaza. All in all, if you're looking for a laid back place to dine and some tasty food, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! I'll be back to try their other options :) Happy eats, loves! ^_^

The katsu sandwich was pretty good, perfectly fried, as well as the French fries. Fries are like a combination of Carl's Jr waffle fries and Jack n the box curly fries. I didn't really like the brioche bread, it wasn't soft, texture was like old white bread, but the regular bread looked pretty good. The sandwich is pretty big too. Coleslaw is pretty standard.Easy parking, food was quick, service is good. Bathroom is oddly huge for one person at a time.

Delicious food. Katsu was perfectly cooked in both the sandwich and the curry noodle. We had the pork katsu. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.Sandwich had a good balance of flavor.Curry noodles had standard curry flavor but filling and they give you a decent amount.Definitely would come here again for good katsu.
