Kagura Monterey Park

A delicious dinner! They had a cheese-in-hamburg steak that our server Andy recommended and it was delicious! All of our choices were good. I love the fried oysters. Grear size, huge and delicious and not overdone. My fillet was tender and both were fried perfectly. Friend enjoyed the katsudon and we all enjoyed the fried mackerel and shishito peppers. Definitely planning on going back soon. For those of you waiting for the hype and lines to die down, it has! Andy says no more waits. Actually kinda slow. So swing by and show some love and leave with a happy belly.

Date of visit: June 2025 They had just opened, and there was a long line during lunch. We had to write our name on a list, which was really hard to find. They were so busy that no one explained we had to write our name down. One of my friends recognized our server as the one from another location in Little Tokyo! She said she was helping out the new business on this side of town. I got the premium pork loin katsu $18.95. It was so good! I've seen thicker cuts before, so this wasn't overwhelming. It came with some cold dish appetizers, rice, and soup! Now that the hype has died down, hopefully there is no wait time anymore. I don't know of any other katsu place, so this is a good option if you're craving tonkatsu! -credit card accepted -bathroom available -free parking in lot

Updated review: This was my second visit to Kagura in Monterey Park, and I’m glad I gave it another shot because this time it didn’t disappoint. My friend and I came for lunch, and it was pretty busy. I ordered the premium pork loin katsu, which was the right call. On my first visit, I tried the premium pork filet and found it a bit dry, but the loin was a big improvement. It was fried perfectly and stayed juicy inside. The mustard that came with the katsu was a nice touch, and the katsu sauce on the table was spot on. Not too salty and not too sweet. Service was just okay. They refilled my water once, and overall interaction was minimal. Nothing bad, just very straightforward. The ambiance was quiet enough for a normal conversation, which I appreciated. Parking can be challenging on we

My family and I like tonkatsu - pork cutlet and love KAGURA. First time this location it’s nice and bright inside. Foods are pretty good same taste as other locations.
