KATSUYAKI - Costa Mesa

In town wanted to try this location and what I like is you do have to wait, as it made to order. Very good tasting meal well balance with rice, veggies, teriyaki and katsu.

Good food here made to order. Service is good with a nice pleasant attitude. Presentation of the food was good and well balanced. Order the Katsu Teri combo. Preces are fair. Have to return to try other dishes on the menu.

I have been a regular since this location has opened and it has been nothing but positivity. They just launched a couple new items on the menu that are delicious and you can tell how much Axel cares about the customers, food, and restaurant. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Food was really good. Nice portion. Friendly service. I got the Beef teriyaki bento box, the California roll included in the bento was delish!

We were in for three people the month of 12/2023. I ordered the lunch bento and it was a lil' light on portions. Even the rice was skimpy. Rice costs nothing and they were being a bit cheap. I can't see anyone being happy with these portions. That aside the store seemed a bit dusty and unloved. Dirty windows and floor. For example a 5' drink cart that was turned off and had no drinks (that refrigerator that presents drinks) was sitting in a corner. The food wasn't anything to crow about. Heavy fried foods and not a lot of freshness. The sandwich had no garnish or side - you can't just put a sandwich in the middle of the place, looks sloppy. But likely the worse thing is that they didn't have water for paying customers or even a fountain machine. To not have water -- is so 'we are not even trying'. It really is a deal breaker and a 'not a real restaurant' vibe. They had bottled water is what they would say, but come on - that is lazy and cheap. It felt there was no vision and love for the restaurant - just a counter, open room and fryer. Like it is a last ditch effort of some sort. Also everything was served in plastic. It communicates cheap. We so wanted this place to be first rate, but it just doesn't rate. Such is life.

Best teriyaki and katsu ever! Orange pure on salad is anaxubg, very fresh. Supe happy customer over here

10/10 axel was an amazing server and helped me and my girl pick out delicious choses. Food was made fast and fresh, we got the bento box and the katsu burger and both were amazing but definitely coming back as a regular for the service and the katsu burger!!

The chicken Katsu sandwich is soooo good. I highly recommend you try this spot and get the garlic fires as well.
