King Katsu in Kitchener

Great food at affordable prices. 10/10 would recommend!

Had the Tonkatsu and it was amazing! Nice and crispy with a very good sauce. Great value for your money too since it came with rice, soup, cabbage, corn and kimchi. Highly recommend

Very disappointing experience. Me and a friend decided to try this place out, and had high hopes. The service was excellent, and the takoyaki was delicious, but the meal went downhill from there. My kimchi fried rice was decent at best, and the egg on top wasn t very good. It was served with something pickled, which tasted okay, and a bland miso soup. My friends chicken katsu wasn t much better. To make matters worse, we started getting stomach problems directly after eating. Will not go again.

Just one word, fabulous The lady there was super nice with us, the food was amazing; we are coming back for sure! Food

I enjoyed my tonkotsu Ramen soup here good price and made fresh ...the atmosphere isnt the best and its pretty small but the food was tasty and the owner was nice and hard working .....parking isnt the greatest because of the location ...I had octopus balls as well for the heck of it they were different but good...give them a try

Must try Tteokbokki, Pork bone soup. Its a real taste of korea. Other foods are good enough. Service is great. Clean restaurant. (I dont usually leave reviews, but Im leaving this. The taste was so good that it wasnt too spicy. The waiting time was okay. When you eat pork soup with spicy seasoning, it reminds me of soju. The pork cutlet and cheese cutlet were soft and good from the old days. The pork cutlet tasted good, they were very friendly, and the bathroom was clean and nice.

Stopped in for a snack on my lunch break. Had the Gyoza appetizer. Delicious, fragrant, warm and inviting. The staff are incredibly friendly and work very hard. Will definitely be back

It was a huge surprise! A pleasant one, of course! It tasted like I was eating in Korea. Everything I had tasted like home.

Amazing! So glad I tried this place out - best ramen I ve had in KW by far !! Good portion for the price !

Delicious ramen!

Really delicious food!

It was the best pork soup I could find in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. If you have recently come from Korea, I think you might agree with me. In summary, it was cheap, plentiful, and delicious. The downside is that it took a bit of cooking time. The taste of pork soup is what you would expect from the sundae soup commonly found in Korean restaurants, minus the sundae (similar to Busan pork soup, Miryang pork soup, etc.), and the meat is gently and thinly sliced. It is not the meat with soft bones that is commonly used in sundae soup. It contained meat that seemed like it would be okay to use it in dishes like tonkotsu ramen. The salted shrimp and seasoning that came with it also went well with the soup. They gave me kimchi and it went well with the pork soup. We also ate pork cutlet, which is the style of pork cutlet you get at delicious street snack bars in Korea. The thickness of each piece of meat was not measured with a ruler, but it was approximately 0.5 cm thick, and the batter was about half the thickness of the meat. It wasnt the thick meat and thick batter that has been popular recently, but it was very crispy and delicious. It tasted like what you expect from pork cutlet. The downside was that it took a little longer to cook. It seems to take about 10 to 15 minutes from ordering to the food coming out. I dont eat out much, so it might be a typical Canadian restaurant cooking time, but compared to the cooking speed at a Korean soup restaurant or pork cutlet restaurant, it took a little longer. Since the menu is so diverse, I thought it might be because there was a limit to what could be prepared in advance (this is entirely just speculation on my part). The food was very delicious, so as someone from Korea, I hope they continue to do business for a long time. Compared to other Korean restaurants in the surrounding Kitchener-Waterloo area, the menu is very diverse, and the prices are very affordable compared to the excellent taste and service. Since the menu seems to change often (I dont think Ive seen the kimbap mentioned in other peoples reviews on the current menu), Im also writing down my thoughts. While eating pork soup, I thought to myself, If sundae is added to this, it would be sundae soup. I dont know much about Canadian laws, but I thought it would be a perfect Korean side dish if eaten with alcohol. The menu is very diverse, so I thought it would be possible to satisfy many peoples tastes, but it would not be easy to manage the ingredients. It may seem like there is less unnecessary talk, but I would really appreciate it if you could provide delicious food for a long time. I would like to visit again.

Amazingly good! Great service, delicious food, and quite a good amount of food for the price; I couldnt finish mine and had to take half home with me. The pork itself was crispy in the best possible way and the sauce was sooooo gooood. They must make it in house because Ive never had a katsu sauce like this in my life. Even the sides of cabbage and corn were good, and the radish kimchi was 10/10. I cant wait to go back again and try the Ramen and the cheese stuffed katsu. Honestly, this is my favourite type of restaurant: just a handful of menu items all done really, really well. If youre trying to decide where to eat tonight and want something new, you absolutely HAVE to try this place. Parking: Right out front is the LRT so youll have to park on another block nearby and walk. Theres also the Duke St. Parking Garage a short walk away. Luckily I live close enough to DTK that I dont need to drive.

Portions are generous, pork cutlet is probably one of the better ones in KW area. The sauce is probably the best part. My go to place for a korean pork cutlet

I ordered the tonkatsu and takoyaki for takeout. Tonkatsu sauce has a good sweet and savory flavour. The chicken itself is cooked well, has some crisp but not an overpowering crisp texture and, they provide a good portion of the chicken! The rice is fluffy and also cooked well! The cabbage salad is fresh and has a nice dressing sauce that isnt too strong of a taste. The corn tastes like any other corn, so dont expect much from it. The kimchi raddish has a good sweet and spice flavour. The takoyaki has good texture, the batter has a good mush and you also get that chew from the octopus Overall, the food was delicious. The place itself looks very clean, too! Looking forward to try other items in the future

New restaurant! They were super mindful and accommodated my dietary needs without me asking first (which I really appreciate!!) The place is cozy, their yakisoba is great. Ill be back to try the ramen next time! Food

I had the fired chicken plate. Wow I would eat that again. The owners are very nice people. Go try it.

Foods great, order Tonkatsu. Very soft and they bring you lot.

I visited this newly opened Korean restaurant, and Im glad I did! The prices were affordable, and the pork cutlet was the tastiest Ive had in a while. I came here because I heard it was a newly opened Korean restaurant. The price was cheap and the pork cutlet was the most delicious Ive ever had.

Genuinely love this restaurant, ordered it through uber eats and I love it! Very delicious, great portion, very reasonable price, love the katsu sauce!!! Honestly the best katsu restaurant so far in KW area. Will be trying more menus in restaurants. Highly recommended!

If youre looking for a proper Japanese Raman, you found your place

* Edit: updating to bump up the stars from 4 to 5! I guess they check their reviews as there was no more hair on the meat in the pork bone soup!!! This place has just become one of our fav in the region and we have already ordered 3 times from here. Donkatsu is the best in the region and they make good broth for ramen and soup So glad that we have another Korean restaurant opened in our region! Tried their Tonkatsu and pork bone soup and they both were decent but the hair on the meat .. was I spotted quite a few which was not pleasant. The amount of sauce that comes with Tonkatsu could slightly be more also. We didn t spread and dip while eating but it wasn t enough to cover all the pieces. It was definitely a positive experience tho! Would love to come back to try other menus

I had both the pork donkatsu and the pork bone soup(gukbap) here, and they were absolutely delicious. The prices are great, and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend! Definitely planning to come back.

Food was delicious and servings were generous. Fairly priced. We had the original gimbap, bulgogi gimbap, and tonkatsu, and all were fresh and fantastic. Our new go to spot for Korean food!

Very tasty, good portions, and an attentive server.

Unfortunately no stars isn t an option. Probably some of the worst food I ve ever eaten. Took over two hours to deliver through Uber eats, hot food was cold and cold food was lukewarm. Even the vegetables in the dishes were not fresh. Portions were very small. Very disappointed as we ve been looking forward to trying this place. Honestly wouldn t bother wasting your time. Truly unsure if this was an issue with Uber eats and ordering delivery???

Cute interior, beautiful presentation and friendly staff!

The Don katsu in this restaurant is very amazing. And it was the most delicious pork bone soup Ive ever had in Canada. The server was very friendly. Jeyuk-Deopbap, kimbap, and ramen were all wonderful. Im very happy to meet a good Korean Japanese restaurant in Kitchener Downtown.

My corn was cold, like fresh out of the can cold, my rice was fresh out of the pan with no seasonings at all, I had a random bowl of broth, and some sort of gross spicy tuber? The katsu was the only good thing. Service was okay... Water wasnt cold. Idk if this is how Korean food is supposed to be, but if so... Not good.

Very nice little restaurant. I had the Tonkatsu meal and it was excellent.

Awesome food in an intimate setting. Had a little bit of everything, gimbap, gyoza, takoyaki, kimchi fried rice, ramen, jeyuk deopbap and cheese and pork katsu. A delicious feast. A must visit restaurant!

Wonderful food! Gyoza, kimbap, kimchi rice and tonkatsu all delicious. Will definitely return!

Wasnt expecting much as its a small hole in the wall kind of restaurant, but wow! The food was excellent, the service was great, and it had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Great prices and portions.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I had the tonkatsu, but I cant wait to try everything else on the menu. Definitely come check this place out!

Great katsu and kimbap! Katsu comes with miso soup, rice, kimchi radish, corn and cabbage slaw so its definitely filling and fresh. The bulgogi kimbap had great flavour. Would go again!

Tasty, and i like that my ramen was in 3 different containers.
