This was the perfect meal after being out in the cold for a few hours. The food was prepared relatively quickly and was absolutely delicious! Everything was so flavourful and well done. We will definitely visit again in the future!

Firmament

I came here with my partner on a cold, rainy evening after she picked me up from the GO station — and honestly, that might’ve been the highlight of our day!

In short, King Katsu is this little yet amazing, clean and comfortable eatery gem that serves Korean-influenced Japanese comfort food near downtown Kdubs. It has a very interesting selection of food, from ramen, katsu, to dwaeji-gukbap (pork bone soup) to different deopbaps. Prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the generous portions.

My partner ordered the spicy vegetarian ramen, and a quick heads-up: it packs a punch! Start slow if you’re spice-sensitive. That said, the broth was deeply flavourful, and the tofu cubes were outstanding — tender yet perfectly structured, with a satisfying texture.

I went with the chicken katsu, and wow — the sauce was absolutely enchanting. Unlike the usual tangy-sweet donkatsu sauce, this one had a savoury depth that made it irresistible with rice. It felt familiar, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on the secret ingredient. The texture was a bit thinner than typical katsu sauce, but honestly, it didn’t matter — I would buy a jar of it if I could!

The side dishes — takoyaki, salad, miso soup, and Korean pickled radish — were all excellent. Every item we tried at King Katsu was comforting, satisfying, and full of heart.

If you’re looking for a meal that fills your belly while warming your soul and your heart, King Katsu is the place. Highly recommended.

Best restaurant I've been to. A cozy little place with nice service. I had the Tonkatsu, the sauce was DELICIOUS and everything was well made. The portion size was good and the sides helped make it a well balanced meal. Definitely planning to tell other people about it and come back again.

Portions were great, flavor was amazing. We had curry tonkatsu and tonkotsu ramen and both were absolutely delicious. Best ramen I've had in this city so far.

The food was delicious with very generous portions! I did not grab a photo because the food was so appetizing I dug in right away. I had the chicken katsu because that’s their specialty!

Love the simplicity of menu and selection of food. Very big portion for the fried chicken and rice. Love their squid balls, I feel like it’s the only place in town that serves it.
