Katsu-Mi Japanese Cuisine

I thought the Cheese Katsu was good. Wife not so much.

I tried Katsu-Mi for the first time and it was disappointing. I ordered the mozarella katsu and it was so bland and flavorless. The chicken was dry and had no seasoning. The cheese did not taste cheesy at all. The katsu sauce tasted like alcohol. This one plate was ringing at almost $19. We also tried the chicken katsu curry which was mid. It was like any other chicken katsu curry plate, nothing special. Overall, I personally will not be returning.

The pork cutlet is amazing! Super tender and juicy. It tastes just like the ones I had in Korea, and the portion is huge.

I needed to get something from H-mart and I remembered that the katsu place inside was changed a while back so I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to grab our dinner here. We placed our order first to which the cashier was professional and prompt in ensuring our order was correct. We got the katsu combo while I got the Nagasaki ramen. Once we finished our order, we received a buzzer so we went to grab drinks from Hmart to have with our meal. The ramen came out first and it was filled generously with plenty of broth, noodles, and seafood. I don't think I have seen this much seafood given in any ramen that I have had. There was small shrimps, two big shrimps, plenty of mussels, one green mussel with shell, squid, and vegetables. There was a lot of noodles too and it was so comforting. My boyfriend was impressed with the katsu and gave it a solid 9.5/10. I learned from an Instagram video that the chef prepares these homemade breadcrumbs from Japan so it is very authentic as you won't find katsu like this in teriyaki spots.

I asked for my ramen to be made extra spicy but it wasn't spicy at all, but I'll just be sure to ask for chili oil or hot sauce on the side too. I also wished they included pickled radish with the ramen and katsu but if you ask then they will provide it. Overall, a very pleasant experience we want to try out their other food items!

There is plenty of seating in the area that is shared between Malri Hyang, Katsu-Mi, and the cafe in there. They also have hot and cold water for you to drink. You do have to bus your own table and there is a spot to drop off dirty dishes.

The broth for the udon is made from scratch by the owner.
The udon broth has a rich and deep flavor. The owner is friendly, and the udon noodles are chewy. You can enjoy both tonkatsu and udon at a reasonable price. Chili sauce and soy sauce are available for free, allowing you to add them to your dish as you like.

The beef bowl (beef donburi) is currently on sale for $10.

The best katsu I've found since Koharu tragically changed hands back in 2018. Who would have expected it would be in an H-mart? Breading is fluffy and golden brown, the meat is moist. What more do you want?!

D5 shrimp katsu was soggy and mushy, and the flavor in the whole bowl was off.

The best curry and katsu I've ever had. Chicken was moist and tender, breading was crunchy and the curry was perfect. Even my mom, who doesn't really eat anything, loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave us bowls and forks for the kids to share the food. Very sweet!

I ordered the chicken bowl and it was amazing! I came to know that the chef learned his cuisines in Japan and he even bakes the bread himself for the batter. Definitely a good place to try out Japanese dishes.

Tucked inside the H Mart in Federal Way, we were so glad we decided to try this place out. Open for less than a year, we were greeted by friendly, smiling faces, and they answered all our questions. I ordered a bowl of udon and my husband pork katsu. The presentation was nice. My udon was great, with perfectly cooked noodles in a delicious broth. So satisfying! I almost stole my husband’s katsu! The breading was light and the pork inside was thick and sooo tender! Wow! We plan on visiting again because we were told the curry is slow simmered for five hours. Yes please!!
