Been really looking forward to trying this place! Finally decided to come with a friend and was not disappointed. Staff was extremely polite and friendly. I had the chicken half order was in a Japanese sweet and sour sauce and mayo. Never had before! Was a unique experience! However I've had and loved takoyaki balls. I haven't had in ages and they were absolutely perfect! Thanks for everything! I will be back for more takoyaki soon! The food was high quality and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work! Thanks again for the excellent service!
We had such a fantastic time here. We took our kids to their first ever dine in restaurant experience and everyone enjoyed it. The waitress was so lovely and took time to explain the menu to us and had a suggestion for everyone, even our baby! The restaurant had a very calm and laid back feeling. The patio was really nice on a mid afternoon summer day. Lastly, the food was really super good. We were impressed because the prices were so reasonable for what you get. We both ordered the fish and chips and it was the best we ever had. The fries were great, and the fish was cooked perfectly. Our son had the chicken and this was also fantastic. Our miso soup was super tasty too and made fresh in house entirely from scratch. We will definitely be going back. :)
I was out for a drive and stopped for lunch at a donair place but saw Kim's across the street. Decided to try it out instead and was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Snow Katsu and the portion size was quite large, I was barely able to finish it. The Katsu was not dry and very yummy! The service was top notch and I didn't wait long for my food. I would definitely recommend Kim's Katsu and will go again when I'm in the neighbourhood!
Super quick service on a quiet weekday night. Waitress was very kind and food was delivered hot. The chicken was lovely, crunchy outside, soft inside and not oily. Fresh crunchy vegetables. Miso soup was delicious. The meal portion was larger than expected and shared one portion for two people.
I’ve been here twice. This restaurant is super great, tasty, and reasonable price. The server is very cute ☺️ when you come here you should order shrimp katsu, you will be surprised how big it is.
We stopped by the place over the weekend and was quite happily surprised by the quality and portion size. I ordered the prawns, and they were very tasty and filling. The chicken karaage was also quite good. Quick service, and barely any wait for the food. I’ll likely visit this place again. Five stars!
It was one of the best Katsu that we ever had. The meat was tender and not oily. The pickled red cabbage and pickled radish was very refreshing. The takoyaki that we had was really good too! If you like trying out asian dishes, you should try this restaurant!! 🙂
It was one of the best katsu we've had. I could tell the oil they used was super fresh and the meat quality was great. My family really enjoyed the food and appreciated a great service as well. Will definitely come back!!
Generous servings, good Katsu and curry. Havent been there in a while as it says temporarily closed. When are you opening again?
Great food and great staff
This is one of the best restaurants in Cochrane. Great food and awesome service.
I dont know much about katsu but this was delicious. Very good customer service as well!
really good food. sauces were amazing. i had the pork katsu and was not disappointed. highly recommend this place
Food and service was amazing .
I just arrived and it is closed now. I was checking on Google for open hour. We are so much exciting and hungry. Now we are starving and disappoint.
Just tried to come and it says its supposed to be open till 10:30, its 9:07 and the place is closed so would be nice to have opening hours updated.
Great food! Great service
My partner and I stopped in for Lunch last Sunday on a day out and we were so happy with both the food and the service! The portions were lots of bang for the buck, everything was delicious and I wish I would ve caught our server s name, because she was absolutely lovely and it was some of the best customer service I ve ever received at a restaurant! We will definitely be back!
Ordered for dinner delivery last night and we were not disappointed! The food was so hot and fresh. The meat is amazing quality and so tender and juicy, and perfectly cooked. The breading is light and not greasy, and the tonkatsu sauce is well done. Portions are very big - we can t wait to order again!
Never having had Katsu before, my gf and I decided to try this, and loved it. Excellent quality food and friendly staff! Will come again!
Strongly recommend.
Great Service, Good Food, Wonderful Staff! would love to come again everytime we visit the area
Was so happy to find this place in Cochrane! Excellent service, really friendly staff and food is absolutely delicious! Must try tender lion!
Amazing food. I have the Hell Katsu every time, and the spice is on point. Highly recommended. Cochrane location
The food is delicious and has good waiters Kid-friendliness: There nice to the kids and make sure they eat the food nicely
The service and the lady who served us was overall amazing. After a long hike we deserve this kind of food. LOL #hopefullyyouopenoneinFortMcMurray #worthit #seeyousooninnextvisit
There is no service. I dont recommend it
Super friendly staff. Awesome food. Must try when youre in Cochrane.
Best chicken in Cochrane.
Excellent service, great menus (yes, I did just say that), great food too. We ll be back for sure. Food portions were very generous, great tastes, good variety of options to choose from.
Excellent service! Loved the Snow Katsu while my husband got their Gyudon. Has dedicated parking spots for their customers as well at the back. Would definitely visit the place again if we re back in Cochrane :)
Food was awesome! And the price was like a burger from McDonald s
Our server Cassandra was so kind to us. She made us feel right at home and gave phenomenal service. It was our first time in Cochrane and she gave us some great suggestions on places to go to and things to do. Thank you for everything! :)
If you dont know what katsu is, its breaded deep fried pork cutlets (and some other meats), and its delicious. If you want to get a taste of Japanese cuisine that is not sushi, this is the place to go. They have donburi, Japanese curry, teriyaki udon, and a variety of appetizers (edamame, takoyaki, etc.). Friendly staff, and a chill atmosphere. Really recommend if youre craving something different or need a delicious oily food when hungover.
The Katsu Curry (deep fried pork cutlet) was so good!!! I loved the food, the service was great and it s a great spot for a patio right downtown.
Best katsu curry Ive had in a long time
Best Katsu
Great food and service. Wonderful addition to Cochrane
The server was really kind and the food was perfect. I could highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and relatives!
Love their fried chicken! I Crave it regularly! They are crunchy, juicy, and the sauces are perfect!
We both had the Rosu Katsu and it was delicious! The pork was so tender and breading crispy and light tasting. Sides were all very good and the sauce perfectly complimented the main. Cassandra was a super server, bubbly and informative :) Great value, good portion size and nicely presented. Clean and well worth the dine in experience! We ll be back!
First time Katsu ever, it was just perfect. Quick and friendly server, the food arrived almost immediately and had the perfect temperature and seasoning. 9/10 just remember its inside an historic building. Would recommend.
Great place and the portions MASSIVE. Amazing price for what you get, left feeling full for days. Also our server (really should have got her name) was very friendly, explained the dishes as well as gave us some great info on activities around Cochrane. 10/10
This is a Japanese restaurant inside an old house on the main street in Cochrane. The service is amazing and very friendly. The tempura dishes and donkatsu dishes are amazing! Highly recommended restaurant! Parking: Free street parking available.
My favourite restaurant in Cochran always great service and the food comes out fast and hot, highly recommend trying it if you live in Cochran!
Awesome food, service and value.
if you saw that a restaurant closed at 9, and you showed up at 8 on the dot, would you expect to be served? cuz we did just that but they closed the doors on us. was sooo sad :( hopefully next time we can make it on time earlier
Great Katsu, super crispy, and huge portions. Their fish and chips is also under-ratedly delicious! Very happy to have these guys in Cochrane.
I did not know what a Katsu was but I really enjoyed it! The portions are so much larger than what the image shows on the menu. Food was great and so was the service. Great value!
Wed randomly seen that a new Katsu place was in town, and immediately had to give it a shot! Katsu is a favourite comfort food of ours, and were really happy to report that Kims Katsu is absolutely delightful. Really generous servings for the price, the katsu was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the karaage was super flavourful, the soup was great, the yam fries were basically perfect - zero complaints! We will definitely be back =D
Vey dry, tasteless, sauces are not pleasant to taste, sorry just did not enjoy.
Went in right after their afternoon break. It was nice and quiet. Food was delicious.
Excellent food! So delicious. Service was also excellent. Would definitely come back again. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavour was just right.
Love this place. The atmosphere is diner casual. The food is tasty with large fresh portions. Plan to share.
We show up a few minutes before 8pm and are told is too late for dine in. Both google and FB say they close at 8:45pm.
The food is delicious and the place is super cozy! Highly recommended.
A restaurant that compares to the cutlets Ive eaten in Japan! The cutlet is crispy and delicious, and the service is great. However, as soon as I entered the store, the toilet near the entrance smelled, and my first impression and atmosphere were not very good. If they fix that, I would definitely give this store a 5 star rating.
Tasty, juicy with all the fun accoutrement. Whats not to like?
Excellent spot. Love that they have a dog friendly patio so we can bring our pooch in after a hike.
Wonderful service, amazing food and warm clean atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps for accessibly from the front and the rear.
3rd review where they closed early, but advertised on social media it s regular hours. They advertised 8:30pm on social media and google, but the person operating Kims Katsu in Cochrane says their labour day hours is close at 7:45pm. Just lost a customer.
RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! Its been our 6th or so visit, and it just keeps getting better. Tks guys!
Showed up at 7:45pm and they refused to serve us because they were closing up already. Suggested new business hours to google for 7:30pm.
Very bad smell inside and on the patio. No wine on the menu. Food not particularly flavorful. Dont believe we will be back.
The best katsu Ive ever had! I love their Hire Katsu:)
Great quality and the portion sizes were so large that we had leftovers for dinner the next day. We had the Fish and Chips Katsu. Delish!
Parking: Free street parking in front Food
The chicken curry taste so good, a great authentic Japanese curry! the service is also amazing, will be back again!
Great food, great service. Had our food within 15 minutes. Our waitress was super helpful explaining the various dishes. I had the fish and chip Katsu and it was amazing. Definitely coming back!
Good food, generous portions, cheerful servers, excellent location in a heritage home. Its restaurants like this that raise the life and vigour of a neighbourhood.
The food was good and nice bread crumbs!
