Great donkatsu place; super tasty and great portions. The brown sauce they used is perfect and the cutlets are deep fried well; the bread crumb coating was crispy and not too greasy tasting at all. The service was also great and quite attentive. The only negative was with payment. We were a group of 5 and they wouldn’t take separate payments even though the sign indicated this was only during weekends (we went on a weekday and it wasn’t that busy). I’d say they need to improve on this level of service vs. cheaping out just because separate payments means a couple of service fees.

I haven’t had much katsu before (so I can’t attest to the authenticity) but the food here tasted amazing! The pork cutlets were super crispy and the sauce was creamy and delicious (I got the carbonara one). The portions were huge but I will say the price was more than I had expected (most things were around $20+).There was an issue with one of our orders but the waitress took care of every thing and made sure to rectify the problem. Overall, a great place to eat ?

Heard good things about this restaurant from other friends and reviewers. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food that they offer.Nice portion sizes for the price. The donkatsu is fried really nicely, great crispy texture on the outer coating, and the meat on the inside is still moist and decently flavourful. Plenty of curry sauce as well for the plate. Only slightly disappointed about how little rice it comes with, especially since the cost of extra rice seems a little high, but that's just a nitpick.

Parking: Lots of parking

2nd time at brown and it was consistent with previous visits. Great fried cutlets and sauces! Got the everything set A, wished the sauce was drizzled on top but personal choice. Tar tar sauce went well with seafood, and the crunch was great. Rice and salad could be better.

Very tasty ramen and pork cutlets. Good service with a friendly waitress. Great 80s techno music.If you can't handle too spicy food, I suggest you to choose the spiciness level of your ramen to be 0 or 1. Anything above 1 will be too spicy.

Saw this place while driving. I’m used to having tonkatsu, however donkatsu is a delightful Korean twist I’m told. There were some delicious options to be had. We ordered the combo katsu & the cheese bomb katsu. I really like the combo plate and the sauces. The cheese bomb is definitely a cheese bomb, perhaps too much cheese for my liking, but delicious. The portions are generous and you will definitely be filled. I would most likely be back. One negative is the day we went there were a number of small bug crawling on the window and window sill which can be off-putting for some. Overall great experience.

usually I’m super loyal to katsuya whenever I’m in the GTA and want to get katsu because there’s no restaurants in Waterloo that focus on katsu and I love their carbonara one but I tried this spot with my beautiful boyfriend and it did not disappoint !! the prices for the portion sizes were great especially because you get not one but 2 pork servings but also the dishes themselves were SO good! I adore Japanese curry a lot so I ordered the Curry Tonkatsu, it was flavourful and the pork was just as crispy as it looks in the photos. I would have tried their carbonara options but I’m PAINFULLY lactose intolerant and forgot my lactese pills, but this dish still slayed. The service here was also good and it was nice and quiet inside which I liked!

Brown Donkatsu recently opened a new location in Richmond Hill and we were eager to try! Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted kindly and sat at our table. We loved how many options the menu had, and you can easily say there is a good variety. Be prepared to eat! The portions are large and despite other reviews, I think that the rice portion was perfect. We went with the Combo Katsu (Chicken) and the Everything Set, which comes with a large portion of Fried Shrimp, Fish & Chicken. For an appetizer (which we now realize we didn’t really need since portions were so large) we had the Cheese Stick Katsu Ap — this portion was so large! You definitely get what you pay for which is a nice change. Overall, a nice experience and they were kind as we left. I would recommend trying, but you will need a large appetite!

?Very welcoming and good food?Normally, I go to BD Markham location, but today I tried to Richmond hill one. This place made my day.✔️SPACE, good for groups!I really enjoyed the vibe of the place, which was clean and spacious. There were many tables for large groups. It is spacious between the tables, so you don't feel crammed.✔️Dishes, huge portion with good taste.Donkatsu was crunchy and juicy, and ramen was smokey and spicy.If you want to separate the sauce, you'll probably have to ask when you order. The Donkatsu comes with two big cutlets, so it's worth it. I really enjoyed the free side dish, pickled radish.✔️Customer ServiceTBH, the food quality was almost the same as the other locations, but the customer service was significantly different.The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I felt that she took such good care of us while we were eating, which I had never experienced anywhere else. Not just for us, but for every single table. Her kind words made my day. Thank you for your serving.✔️Am I going to re-visit???‍♀️??‍♂️?? YES, YES, YES!!!

Donkatsu was crispy and fresh. Nagasaki jiampong's broth was so good that we drank all of it.Waitress was very nice, she told us that we could stay there as long as we want.

Amazing food and excellent service! Of all the Katsu dishes I've eaten this was by far the best! Was so surprised by the huge portion of chicken! Staff was so kind, definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Came here for lunch last week and had a great experience overall!The pork katsu I ordered was a great portion, freshly made and the katsu sauce was delicious. The sides it came with were great as well and the dish was decently portioned. Price is pretty standard for a katsu dish. The ramen was also a really good portion for the price and tasted great!The service was very friendly too and the owner was very attentive to each table. We will definitely be back!
