Katsu Gin

Katsu Gin is renowned for its commitment to quality ingredients and the meticulous preparation of traditional Japanese fried cutlets. This was my first visit, discovered while searching for Japanese Katsu/cutlet options, despite it not being close to my location. We arrived during lunchtime, and the restaurant was nearly full. Although the space isn't large, it offers ample seating, including bar-style seating, and features an open kitchen concept. The menu is straightforward yet comprehensive, with a variety of katsu options, including shrimp and veggie, which are typically served as tempura or kakiage at Japanese restaurants. We ordered the Hire Katsu curry-pork tenderloin, veggie and shrimp katsu, and a side order of tonkatsu. You can choose curry , traditional katsu or Katsu Don. The

I've been on the hunt for potsu in the bay and had to try out this new location in Milpitas. I ordered the oyster katsu thicker, pork tenderloin katsu and a side of the shrimp and vegetable katsu. I thought the shrimp was really good. The oysters were okay and the thicker cut fork was not my favorite because it was too thick. It was very moist but it was just too thick for my taste. For some reason I think the thicker cuts of tenderloin has lack of flavor versus the thinner cuts. Either by yourself. The kitchen is open and there is seating along the side of the restaurant and the bar. Over all the food was very good and service was good. Check out Katsu Gin.

So excited to have a yummy katsu curry place close by !! We ordered hari katsu plate and katsu curry. Also the shrimp and oyster katsu. Their curry is flavorful with a kick and the katsus are fried perfectly! Everything was perfect and so so delicious! We ended up ordering extra portions for my kids because they loved it so much! Service was also amazing! it's a tiny restaurant so make sure you come early to avoid the wait! can't wait to come back!

Very impressed with the katsu. I ordered the Hire Katsu (Deep Fried Pork Tenderloin) Curry set. The batter was perfectly light, flaky, and crunchy. The meat was tender and juicy, which is not easy to achieve as many places over cook the meat dry. The oil is fresh and they let the katsu rest to let the oil drain. This results in making sure the katsu did not feel greasy and heavy. The dish is well balanced with the curry being flavorful, conplimenting the hire katsu. The pickled veggies on the side were nice with the acidity to help balance out the katsu. A recommendation I have would be to add a little sugar to the pickles as they can lean towards the salty side.

Reminds me of a Tokyo subway kiosk. Katsudon was pretty tasty, had a nice fry to it. The curry was a little different than what o expected, nut still not bad. Liked the pickles amd the miso soup. I will probably go back. Quick to order, can sit at the bar and watch, and moderately priced (at least for these days).
