Love the garlic spicy chicken katsu. The food is a bit pricy but it did hit the spot.

First time dining at Katsuya and I loved it. Their pork sirloin is very delicious. I tried their original Katsuya and their Carbonara Katsuya and both were so good, specially the carbonara one. Portions are very generous and the dish comes with complementary soup. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will be definitely be back.

This location has awesome food. the location especially in Vaughan has a lot to learn from this location in terms of the service and food prep. The chicken are evenly thick proportions. It’s not dried out and the salad is fresh.

always a good time when going to katsuya! they’re always consistent in their quality amd taste regardless of location! The katsus were crispy, the fries were crunchy, and the karaage was crispy crunchy! The fish katsu had the nice outer layer and the fish itself was flaky yet kept its shape so nicely. It’s so nice that this location took over their sister company bobooya, even though I’ve wanted to try bobooya for the longest time! It’s convenient since it’s in a prime yonge amd sheppard location, and because I keep forgetting to try their carbonara, I know I’ll be here again very soon to add that to my list of need to try. Service was amazing even though there’s no dine in at the moment. Came to pick up my order and I thought they closed later than I thought, but they did not treat me any differently even though I came late, which was nice! So consistent and love the service at all the locations I’ve tried! And it’s been a few of their different locations! Great job on everything! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content!

Sweet chili tonkatsu was delicious. Nice portion of meat. Enough sauce to dip every bite. Good amount of pickles and cabbage in the side to balance it out. Had a taste of my friend's curry tonkatsu and it was pretty good too! Only thing is I wish it came out a bit hotter. Lots of sitting space and service is good.

Thank you Daniel K. The sauce was missing in my Uber eats order. He reacted quickly and sent us the sauce in 30mins. Very nice service and special thanks to Daniel.
