“ First time here I was having huge cravings for Korean food especially some tteokbokki so I went to the closest spot near me. I tried the tteokbokki and the pork curry. The pork curry came in a very cute packaging I’m all for presentation and it tasted pretty good. It needs more salad dressing and the portion size of the mac salad can use some love. The tteokbokki comes with glass noodz and it hit the spot. Just sprinkle on some mozzarella and ur golden would I come back? Yeth ”
“ Never had Katsu or Japanese curry.... Honestly, when we go out to eat we typically gravitate towards American, pizza, steaks, etc... We saw that this location was having a grand re opening and were very curious to try a new style of cuisine because the breading in their photos that they posted on social media looked amazing and we wanted to see if that’d be the case in person as well! WOW! Can’t even tell you HOW HAPPY we are that we went there! Like very much impressed! So impressed we’ve gone back to try other dishes! We got a little of everything to try and OMG everything has been phenomenal! The Katsu chicken and pork were both so very crispy while maintaining great juices! We ate them inside sandwiches, buns, on top of their special Korean tteokbokki and all were amazing! Omg the portabello mushroom sandwich is a sleeper toooo!!! And then dipping it into the incredible Japanese style curry is NEXT LEVEL! We gotta try a curry plate next time cause wwwooowww!!! The ambiance was also great! This location has location specific items like the fact that you can enjoy like yogurt soju which is totally a must try, beers on tap and the Yubu pockets were adorable, flavorful and very unique! The bulgogi one was epic! Seriously everything there is absolutely incredible whether you get a sandwich, plate or even the sides like their tempura cauliflower, Korean gang jung, spicy kimchi Mandu.... All of it! Highly recommend Katsu bar!!! You’ll definitely be glad you tried them! ”

“ I’m a white dude originally from New York and let me tell you after 12 years in LA this is still the best damn pork katsu curry plate I’ve had. Come grab some delicious pork katsu, stay for the beer and the good service. ”
“ I used to visit their Orange County and Ktown locations, just found out that a new spot is out here in Torrance. The interior is pretty nice and spacious, with much more choices from the new menu (alcohols too). The rice cake, spam musubi and the signature Katsu sandwich are the best! ”
“ I had all intentions of snapping a picture of the food, but I ate one bite and lost my focus. The food was so good! I got the chicken Katsu plate, and it was so good for the price. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the side salad and pasta salad were great sides. The service was quick and friendly. I would absolutely go back to Katsu Bar if I'm ever craving Katsu again! And I'll get a food pic next time! ”
“ Their food is AWSOME. I love EVERY SINGLE DISH that I've tried here. They have unique menu which is a SANDO. You can choose protein for katsu which are beef, chicken, pork, and mushroom! I personally love pork katsu. Their apple chili & nashiville hot SANDWICHES were really crunchy and delicious. I tried their curry plate which was the BEST curry I've ever tried. Me and my friends got Tteokbokki and yubu pockets to share which was also so so good. The service is on point. Staffs checked up on us multiple times if we need anything. They welcomed us with a smile. Very friendly. There were lots of dishes that I can enjoy with my beer. I loved the spam katsu musubi!! It was crunchy but soft inside. I was with a big group of friends , so we tried most of their menue. And every dish was awsome. I'm coming back more often now :) ”
“ Great food! Spicy, sweet, tangy. Perfect balance in the katsu sandwiches. Pork curry plate is amazing. Nashville hot sandwich amazing. Apple chili sandwich perfect. Best of both worlds! ”
