Katsuya - Coquitlam

We picked the restaurant due to its rating however the food was really mediocre. For a restaurant specialising in Katsu, it was not impressive. We ordered the curry pork loin katsu and spicy chicken katsu. There was an overwhelming amount of breadcrumbs with a very thin slice of meat. It was a big piece but very thin, which does not taste as good when you’re having katsu. The taste of the sauces was very bland as well. The food did not impress. However, the service was pretty decent. We also tried the takoyaki but it was okay-ish.

I had the cheese pork loin, and the cheese crabmeat croquettes. I could barely finish my meal because of how big the portions were. I definitely had to pack it and have a second meal later! The cheese pork loin was delicious, very cheesy, and paired with the sauce well. The crab meat croquettes were massive. It was really interesting, because I never tried this before. The sauce was strong but when you eat the whole thing together, it fits perfectly. The service was good, atmosphere was cozy. I'll definitely come back again!

My husband and I went there for a lunch, saw a high rating here. We ordered the garlic spicy and original. They said they ran out of tender pork, it was unfortunate that we can’t try it. The pork size is huge, deep fried nicely in the crust. My husband likes the salad sauce, I prefer Yuzu sauce, more refreshing. The garlic spicy sauce is better than the original flavour. Auto-fill miso soup.

After searching for tummy adventure, I came across this resto with a lot of good reviews. I went today and indeed they have a massive katsu! Katsu was very crispy and tasty. The saltiness of the udon was just right! It has a balance taste! I like that they have pickled ginger and radish. They also have friendly staff. Will be coming back for more! 😍

I would like to review Katsuya Coquitlam. They serve various Katsu with traditional and fusion styles. We had traditional pork loin katsu and Japanese loin katsu. Food: miso soup was included as a starter and the katsu main dishes followed shortly. It was beautifully presented with good balance of colours. The quality of katsu was top notch. It was very crispy, not too thick but well fried with real bread crumbs, providing an excellent texture. I only have good things to say about their food. The portion and quality of cabbage were excellent and went well with their house dressing. The sauce for the two styles (original and Japanese) each provided their unique touch to the katsu, original being more smooth and creamy and Japanese being more tangy. Both were quite mild in flavour and would complement most palates. Service: They were having a $10 tasting event, so the restaurant filled up fast upon opening with around 30 customers. They only had one server to start with then a second server showed up shortly after. They only came once near the end of our meal to check how everything was. It was way too late. However, this may be atypical as they were in the midst of a busy tasting event with long lines of customers. Overall: Excellent food, clean restaurant. I will visit again with my children in near future.

Huge variety of sauces outside of the traditional katsu sauce, and big portions of katsu as well. Tried the carbonara, mushroom and the crab croquette. Definitely come here for the variety and portions, other places might be better for quality but it is also more expensive. Service was great, very attentive and made sure we got everything we needed.

First meal of the day! Definitely worth it. Udon broth was super clean and refreshing. Tonkatsu was lightly seasoned and super crispy - perfect paired with the slightly sweet katsu sauce. The only thing I didn’t like was the consistency of the white rice - more on the firmer side which is not what I am used too as I always had rice cooked at high pressure levels at home. Overall experience was really great!

I have to update my review as I am too disappointed at the subpar quality tonight. I am a regular customer and I order pickup for most of the time. Before, the pork cutlets had been great. But this time, the cutlets were soggy and the portion was obviously reduced.
