Kobuta & Ookami Katsu and Sake house

Love the Katsu! Get it! Splurge on the expensive, acorn-fed, imported pork... Just do it!

The food and service was great. We sat close to the hall way for bathroom and I could smell the garbage occasionally, other than that it was amazing

Loved the minced pork katsu it was delicious. I would definitely recommend the minced pork cutlets katsu over the pork tenderloin katsu.

Great katsu, like the restaurant menu focus on what it does best. Generous portions. Food served in a reason amount of time ensuring the crispness. Pork is tender. Also like the pork options offered.

However the menu is also quite expensive, easily $40 per person when factoring in taxes and tips.

Parking is very limited.

Pretty authentic Japanese tonkatsu restaurant. It's quite busy but we got lucky to get a table for 2. Both fillet and loin were good. I ordered the version with shaved dailon and ponzu sauce, not heavy and very delicious

Kobuta & Ookami Katsu and Sake House is absolutely outstanding! The food here is prepared with such care and quality — every dish feels authentic and full of flavor. Their katsu is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. The sauces and sides complement the mains beautifully, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite.

The sake selection is also excellent, with a wide range of options that pair wonderfully with the food. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations if you’re unsure, which really enhances the dining experience. Service overall is warm, attentive, and professional — you never feel rushed, and the team makes sure you have everything you need.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. The attention to detail in both the food and the hospitality makes this place truly memorable.

If you’re looking for authentic Japanese comfort food paired with great sake and outstanding service, this is the spot. Kobuta & Ookami has definitely become one of my favorite restaurants, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Very good katsu, the best in Seattle I’ve had so far. I like it better than saku in Vancouver, although they’re close. Sometimes portions do vary however and their seasonal stuff is hit or miss.

Great katsu. Will be back.

Nabe was great for chilly day, but next time I would try katsu itself to enjoy the real ✨crispy-ness✨! I had to wait for 25-30mins for walk in on Friday night, and totally worth it. & Servers are so kind!

Very good tonkatsu!

Best katsu I’ve ever had. Extremely nice service staff. It’s the first place I take friends who are visiting, whether they’re foodies or not they are impressed. You can really only get katsu, but that’s fine. Just don’t go if you don’t want katsu and are surprised there aren’t alternatives
