Katsuya STL

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a different restaurant and decided to check this one out. I'm glad I did. There's was lots to choose from as far as food is concerned and opted for their bento box. I was NOT disappointed. The portions were generous, and more importantly the food was delicious. The restaurant appeared clean, including the condiments area. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Stop in and check them out!

Absolutely the best katsu place in the Midwest. I even liked here better than average donkatsu places in South Korea. Food are awsome, atmosphere is warm and calm. We’ve been visiting this place 1-2 times a month. Various side dishes are also the one I really love.

We had our lunch here today. It's much more modern and cleaner inside than outside (look wise). They have a few vegetarian options. We ordered Tofu Katsu, Potato Korokke and veg Sushi. Staff was very friendly.

Extremely affordable. The katsu bento boxes are quite tasty! Loved the food in general but their sushi isn’t to my preference — for example, seems like most of the rolls are the same base (imitation crab, avocado, etc) and then topped with the meat of choice. I don’t love that and would choose sashimi next time because of it. Excellent Japanese music was playing too, which made me smile.

Almost cried when I took a bite because it instantly reminded me of Korea🥲 Honestly, the cheese katsu is better than the one’s I’ve had there. Having 3 different side dishes per well and the effort of making every single item in the bento box so delicious reflects how much care and detail was put into making this. I normally never leave reviews, but this was so amazing. I will be back over and over again until the day I leave STL. Also, we got a little side dish on the house which was super tasty🥹
