Ordered chicken and pork katsu bento boxes. Both fried on the spot so crispy and tasty. Miso soup with tofu and radish was a surprise hit as well. Great value. Would definitely visit again.

Aqesome food. Incredible food doesnt have to be fancy. Extremelly well executed dishes. The tonkatsu was crisp and hot. Miso soup well seasoned and better than the ones you find on expensive restaurants. Very good pricing for the amount and quality of food you are served. Amazing to see very hard working people in the kitchen.

Best affordable katsu in NYC. Generous portions and very friendly mom and pop Katsu place! I have never written reviews, but visiting this place was worth a 5 star. Their Katsu Curry meal with miso soup, salad, and dumplings is the best.

I am a bit torn writing this review. On the one hand, I selfishly hope Katsu remains a hidden gem. On the other, the kind owners, who I assume are the only employees, are certainly deserving of praise. I have never been to Japan and I can't say I am an expert in Japanese Katsu style dishes. What I do know is kind people, honest prices, and delicious food. You will find all three at Katsu on 5th Ave in Park Slope. I will be back in the near future, and I recommend you try it out for yourself.

Would love to gate keep this place, but it’s too good not to be shared! The food is an extremely good price, especially for what you get! Great portions, amazing tasting food, and a very nice family owned and operated vibe! If you get the chance, check this place out! You seriously won’t regret it!

Had lunch at Katsu in Park Slope, Brooklyn NYC $13. Phenomenal quality for the price. Can't wait to come back.

Katsu is an absolute gem. 5/5 best homemade food I've ever had. Every item from the gyoza, curry, to miso soup was perfect

The chicken karaage don is my favorite! Really flavorful and tender and honestly better (and better priced) than some full-service Japanese restaurants I’ve been to. I never write reviews, but the folks there (maybe the owners?) are so kind, the food is incredible, and honestly they deserve all the business! You won’t be disappointed.

I got the chicken katsu curry. It was amazing value and they were very nice. Only $15 and it came with chicken, rice, gyoza, miso soup, curry, tomatoes, and cabbage. In a good portion size too. I was stuffed after. The lady also brought us our food and threw away the garbage which they don’t usually do at restaurants where you order at the counter. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.

Delicious food served by the sweetest owners. Consistent quality every time I have ordered. They take cash and credit at the same price with non minimum on credit. The only downside would be the ventilation system, which is non-existent it seems, so you will end up smelling like grease after dining in 😕

Great katsu curry set at this place. The chicken is thin and crispy, curry rich and deep in flavor, rice is cooked to perfection, and the ingredients are overall quality. Even the slaw and cherry tomatoes on the side taste great! Good food and reasonable price.

The food is so delicious and fresh! I got the chicken Katsu curry and it came with the most delicious miso soup I’ve ever had. The chicken was tender and crispy. Rice was soft and fresh. And the salad was flavorful and the dressing was so good!!! Highly recommend!

Love the food from Katsu! Really nice portions and perfect for a take out. Katsu meals of course tasty but don’t sleep on the dumplings.

What a delicious meal! When walked in, you are greeted by the owners, who run and operate the shop. The menu is affordable and tasty, with noodle soup for only $6! The rice was crisp and fresh! I would recommend the katsu over the karagee, which was very fried. Overall, I will be back!

I rarely leave Google reviews, but I was so blown away by this place that I felt moved to comment. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Huge portions and varied menu, try the spicy wonton soup.

Wow, this food is excellent and incredibly authentic! I got the chicken katsu curry bento bowl lunch special, and every single thing was phenomenal. The curry was some of the best I’ve ever had, the katsu was lightly fried to perfection, the gyozas packed a very flavorful punch, the miso soup was divine, and the sauce on the cabbage blew me away. Together, it was a perfect meal and a great value. Very fast and friendly service too. Highly recommend!

Great space for a quick meal. The pork Katsu meal is delicious. The pork is nice and crispy, the breading is not as fluffy and light as some other places but I still enjoyed it. The staff are sweet and very friendly.

I actually came here looking for something quick and cheap and honestly was blown away. The portions were generous and the chicken was juicy with perfect crispy shell. The food was clearly made fresh and high quality. It was absolutely delicious- it is better than katsu I have had in Japan. The owner(?) is super accommodating and nice ! To add, I have a deathly nut and shellfish allergy which you can imagine is a nightmare to eat with, especially with contamination. She really took the time to make sure she wouldn’t kill me, even checking that fish was ok. I was really appreciative of it, not just because I didn’t die but because I appreciate not having to spend the night sick. She was very accommodating, very thoughtful- we were in a hurry for an even and she even brought us bags as she saw we were eating. I really enjoyed the food and will return both for the food and the personnel!

New place pretty decent food. Somewhat Smokey inside need better ventilation. Good price point on food for the area.
