Koji Katsu

If your craving japanese katsu this place is a good location to get your japanese katsu fix, my friends and I came here around dinner time and we ordered four different dishes: cheese katsu set, cheese curry katsu, mixed katsudon and pork katsu nabe. The portion sizes were good and fair for the prices, everyone got pretty full from it. The food itself was crispy and flavorful, I highly recommend the katsu nabe but the cheese classic set is top tier as well. Just note that not all dishes come with salad and soup, if that's what your expecting. Although the menu is diverse the drink menu is pretty standard with only having water, soft drinks and tea which isn't a big deal personally but to some it may be. The location itself is easily accessible near west kerby station. The restaurant itself is pretty small yet cozy so just be aware there is limited seating during busy hours. There is a washroom. Service was good and really friendly and did make sure to check up on us if our food was good. Overall I do recommend this place.

I wanted to love this place so bad because I enjoy supporting local places, but when we visited last Friday we did not get good service. We arrived around 7pm, and got seated quickly but having only 6 tables the restaurant got filled up soon after. The food is no doubt high quality and tasty, and my fiancé and I enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken Katsu and the Pork Katsu Nabe. However, these took way too long to come out (about an hour) and I’m pretty sure it was because they forgot about us and about our order as the tables that came after us got their meals well before we did. Which was hard to believe, because the place is so small. Then afterwards, we weren’t offered anything for the inconvenience. I would consider giving this place another try, as this could’ve been just an unlucky experience, but my expectations will be lower.

The quality of the food is commendable, with the curry sauce being particularly exceptional. The katsu is prepared excellently, featuring a moist interior and a crispy exterior. The establishment is relatively small, making it challenging to secure a seat during peak dining hours. The staff members exhibit a lack of friendliness, engaging in minimal conversation. There is no greeting upon entry, and they do not smile, do not make eye contact, this creating an atmosphere that suggests patrons are merely expected to eat and leave.

This is great place, one of my favorites in downtown! The dishes always taste great, the portions are huge. Very clean and cosy atmosphere inside the cafe. My favorite is Terejaki with pork and shrimps. I also love that delicious souse they serve when ordering salad. Definitely recommend!

Really not that bad. The katsu was good but kind of oily. I really did not like the tonkatsu sauce that came with it. I ended up using the sesame dressing for everything, which made it better. Service was good!

Saw the recommendation on Eater and it is definitely spot on! This food was amazing! We loved the depth of the curry flavor and the crunchy katsu chicken and pork you could tell were super high quality and prepared with expertise. We sampled a variety from the chicken, pork, cheese and shrimp - it was delicious. One of 2 places we ate during our short visit in Calgary - totally worth it.

Koji Katsu in Calgary serves an exceptional katsu, featuring a perfectly crafted batter that is light and crispy. The panko coating delivers a satisfying crunch while keeping the meat juicy inside. I tried the pork and shrimp katsu, and it was absolutely delicious—each bite was packed with flavor. The small, cozy environment adds to the charm, making it a welcoming spot to enjoy a delicious meal. Overall, it's a must-visit for katsu lovers seeking quality and flavor!

Food so good. Very affordable price and big portion compared to other places downtown. Highly recommend for everyone who’s in love with Katsu.
