We serve Fresh Handmade Japanese food.
This will forever be my favourite place in Penticton. Food, service, and atmosphere are 1000/10. I love the cheese katsu and honey butter fries! My order stays consistent everytime I go here, It’s THAT good. I am destined to eat here everyday if I could. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Please don’t ever close or I’ll be shattered in pieces.
Wow… Incredible… Went here for the first time with high expectations and they blew them out of the water! First of all, that was the best Katsu I’ve ever had, not sure how they fry it so perfectly. And the rice/miso/salad were prepared just right. Reasonable price, good/fast service and very cool atmosphere. 10 out of 10👌
Highly recommend! The restaurants really clean with open and closed seating and bar seats by the window. We got the pork katsu, chicken katsu curry, and tempura for the three of us. The katsu was v crispy and light and the pork and oil that they used seems really fresh. Everything was delicious and staff were super friendly! The portions were great for the price as well, if I lived nearby, I would visit every week!
Been here twice now, once for lunch and again for dinner. Excellent service here, very quick, the staff are awesome! My favorite dish is the spicy beef yakisoba, great bold flavor and the sound from the sizzling pan just makes it even more of a great experience! All the tempura checks out and oh my gosh, the cutlets here are the best in the south OK. We really love the cleanliness and comic book decor. Can't wait to come back again!
Excellent ambience. Most impressive specialty rolls I have ever seen. Very tasty too.
First visit to this Penticton gem. If you need a place to eat, don't miss this one. Greeted right as we entered by the staff, we were seated right away by a friendly server. The place has a variety of seating options from tables, booths, and bar seats by the window. Loved the homey yet modern tasteful design of the interior fitting for the good food we enjoyed. Ordered a variety of dishes, sushi, cutlet, and Korean fried chicken. Strangely enough even though it's called Katsu, my favourite was the chicken; better than any I've had in the Okanagan and we're from Kelowna. The dynamite roll was above average and the portions were satisfying. I'd only maybe change the wasabi, as it was a bit hard to dissolve and didn't have that bite. The food came out super fast though, like 10 min after ordered and it was hot and fresh. Overall, the food was great, value for money 100%, and service was top-notch! Definitely a every visit food stop for us when we drive down. Open one in Kelowna! 有り難うございました
Took my dad out for a father day lunch today and words cannot describe how good the food and service was. Will definitely be coming back in the future
Very friendly and best service! The food proportion is big and tasty every dish. Very nice of them for giving us a sample dish on the house. They also have a lot of vegetarian options. The best part is that they were able to accommodate our huge party with no issue. Will definitely come back again and recommend to our friends.
Dont be put off by the outside
Great place for japanese that isnt sushi centric. Our group had a couple katsu curry, takoyaki and the fried chicken wings. All happy throughout. The takoyaki was a really good full appetizer with a shredded and sauced cabbage base, this could be a light meal on its own. Katsu was really good and crisp. Nice distinct curry. Udon noodles were good. Would go here again!
The katsu was great!! but they use so cheaper rice tastes bad..so a bit disappointed. Also all other foods (sushi rolls, gyoza and miso soup etc ) were not good. You should order only the katsu. Other menu items are no worth eating. Food : 3/5
Really yummy yakisoba, excellent service, large portions and reasonable prices.
We love it here ! The food is great, service is always fast and friendly, and the prices are amazing.
I have never left a review for a resteraunt I have never eaten at, but I just could not leave this. We came into Penticton yesterday, and were looking forward to trying Katsu Heaven out. When we arrived, the hostess told us that half the menu , the sushi component, was unavailable, and we could only sit at the bar stools because there was no more room, but we saw tables. So we left and tried again today. When we walked in the place was only half full but when the hostess approached us she told us they were not seating anybody and it was take out only because of all the dirty dishes they had to do. She then let me know that they did not have any clean dishes left, and she pointed to a cart overflowing with dirty dishes. I have never had an experience like this and will not be returning to try the food, no matter how high it has been rated. Unacceptable customer service!
For my first experience the hostess was wonderful. Then the food comes and it is fantastic. Great experience all around. PS bring your appetite.
A gem in Penticton. Food was really authentic and good and very friendly service!
Absolutely amazing sweet chilli Korean chicken!
The spicy karaage chicken ramen was not very good, the vegetables were over-cooked and soggy. And the karaage chicken arrived in my bowl already soaked in the broth. The broth was like a basic chicken noodle soup with some spicy sauce in it. The edamame beans were good and my daughter like her veggie udon but her vegetables were also overcooked. I would never order these again, but maybe other items on the menu are good, I have not tried them yet. The portion sizes are big, so if you have kids along, it is a good idea to share a dish. This was my first time eating here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked the atmosphere.
Probably the best katsu my husband and I have ever had! He got the pork and I got the pork curry and they were both incredible.
Amazing food.
So happy we found this restaurant. Sushi and Katsu for days. Our whole family agrees that this is our GO TOO place to eat when in Penticton. Fast, fresh, and filling. No question, it s the best in town.
The food was absolutely delicious. Good portion sizes and better pricing than most other Asian restaurants. Great service, friendly attentive staff. High attention to detail from the food and plating to the interior
Food is delicious, service is right on point, fast, nothing special nor annoying - had a perfect lunch there thanks to you
The food is always amazing here! My personal favorite is the sweet chili chicken, but its all delicious. The staff greet you when you come in, and acknowledge when you leave. Cozy booth seating, lovely place. Always enjoy coming here!
Good sushi. Theyre Asian, they have it together. Place runs reliably like a well oiled machine.
Amazing people! Amazing food. The servers are super nice and the food was absolutely delectable! Nice ambiance. Would totally go back. We had the Special Kasu dinner, Black Tiger sushi roll (mmm) and an unagi roll. Oh and the potato croquettes. Would come back anytime
Great service with an awesome vibe and atmosphere. Stellar food aswell the service they offered. 10/10 would recommend!
Birthday dinner at Katsu was delicious. They were very busy but gave us a seat as we waited for a table. They ve now added a full Sushi menu to their other, very unique, dishes. Service was brisk and friendly and everything tasted great! We even got a free appetizer! Five Stars!
Highly recommend curry katsu. Sushi rolls and Bibimbap are average tastes like other Japanese restaurants. Yakisoba is too sweet. Nice restaurant with good server.
They get busy have have zero organization to save their lives. The food is amazing but get a damn clip board or a hostess...
Amazing, friendly, and efficient staff. Delicious food, good portions, reasonable prices, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Went to this restaurant with my family, the food was excellent as was the service. Tried some new things and was very impressed with the quality of the food, I would highly recommend to anyone.
WE LOVE THE TONKATSU CURRY RICE! The portion of curry to rice was nice and the meat was perfectly cooked. We also liked the chopped scallop roll as they added cheese sauce to it in which the fishy scent is gone! Will definitely go back when we visit Penticton again!
Great food and great service. Will definitely make this a regular spot!
This place has friendly staff but the food was awful. Anything fried was over battered and inedible. Everything else was very average. We won t be back.
Delicious, has become one of my favourite places.
The service here is truly impeccable. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate all my questions, ensuring that I had a wonderful dining experience. The food arrived remarkably fast and was piping hot, just the way I like it. Every dish I tried was absolutely delicious, showcasing the high quality and freshness of the ingredients. The outstanding service made the meal even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, I will be coming back here once a week. This place has become my new favorite sushi spot in Penticton.
Tried those as a second sushi place in penticton. It was good but the sushi rolls were just fair. Very saucy sushi which didn t allow for the other ingredients to speak for themselves. The sashimi was the best in town for sure. Service was really good and price was good too.
We were seated for 30 minutes watching the staff attend every table except ours. All visible staff were avoiding eye contact and completely ignoring our table while helping ones that were seated well after us. It was busy for a Monday night but the other tables were receiving service just fine, including the ones picking up their orders. In what world are customers picking up to-go orders the priority over the ones physically sitting in your restaurant? When we finally caught the eye of our waitress, she said it would only be a minute, then proceeded to ignore us for another 10. We ended up leaving after I finished my water and nobody even noticed! They made us feel very uncomfortable as we were the only visibly queer couple there and the ONLY table being completely ignored. We wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately we ve had a similar experience at their previous location (Sushi Heaven). We were so excited to try a new local restaurant but ultimately left because of the cold treatment from the staff. We will not be returning.
We drive here from Kelowna regularly not only because the food is amazing, but the owners/staff are always so friendly, and you can tell they really care about the customers and the quality of food/experience. Can t recommend enough. 12/10!
Incredible food! Portions are very generous. The Veggie Gyoza in particular was unreal - I had a food-gasm!! Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie and vegan options. Menu is clearly marked. Dietary restrictions: We had a celiac person in our party and great care was taken by staff to accommodate and prevent cross contamination.
Everything was really good, we felt very comfortable. The food was really tasty and the service was also very nice.
This place always has great food and great service
Best in the Okanagan
best Japanese reastaurant in Penticton
Best lunch date ever first stop at this place and it did not disappoint. 10/10
Excellent food!!! I have been there many times and it is always great. The service is wonderful.
A different style of Japanese food to us, but SO delicious. Friendly fast service. A wonderful casual dining experience!
This place is so good. Everything is so fresh and tasty. Staff are fantastic and keep giving me tasty free treats.
Id say this is a hidden gem but the ratings are clear, it deserves its perfect 5 star. Everything was perfectly prepared and super fast, I was eating within 10 minutes of sitting down
Delicious, great quality food, huge portions & amazing value, and THE BEST service. I also enjoy the simplicity, spaciousness and cleanliness of the interior. My top menu choices here: garlic soy Korean chicken, every katsu option, yakisoba. Haven t tried their bulgogi yet but it s definitely high on my wish list!
Randomly ended up in Penticton for a night and while having no expectations for our food options in this city this place took us by surprise! Good service, super cozy setting, AMAZING food and very generous portion sizes. Everything came out fast and super hot, if we ever find ourselves in Penticton again, then well be back here again for sure!
My hubby and I truly enjoyed our experience not only the service but the quality as well!! They pride in their restaurant and we sure will be back. Fresh and tasty! Thank you. Food : 5/5
Honestly one of the best spots to stop for a quick bite! Amazing Korean food options! As well as Japanese. Definitely stop in for a drink and a bite.
Couldnt have been happier! Shared the octopus balls, I had chicken katsu, my friend had chicken katsu yakisoba. More than we could eat. Highly recommend.
Got drenched by the rain and was looking for soup to warm myself up. Stumbled upon Katsu Heaven. Best decision ever. The food, service, and pricing are phenomenal. Hope we had Katsu Heaven back in Vancouver!
Food is awesome here but they refuse to seat 6 people and sent 6 of us away. Apparently the cook wouldnt allow us to sit together.
The food looked great, but because of their weird rule of not allowing 6 people to sit together our group of 6 were told we had to sit at two tables and we decided to leave
Food is always top tier and they give you huge portions. The service is great and they always give you a warm welcome when you arrive. 10/10 would and will go back again. Food : 5/5
This place is an amazing little gem! We had a craving for Chicken Katsu Curry after being in Japan, and let me tell you this place does not disappoint! We drove here from Kelowna and it was well worth the drive. This is easily one of the best restaurants in the Valley. Excellent service, consistently delicious food, and great atmosphere with individual little booths. Will definitely be back!
Went here for supper, and despite there only being a couple of servers working they were efficient and very friendly. The restaurant itself has a nice design, and the food was definitely the main highlight. Reasonable prices and fresh, hot dishes. This restaurant set the bar very high and now I m not going to enjoy the ramen and katsu at other places as much hahah.
Love this place! Delicious everything. Large portion sizes. Intimate booths where you can t really see other people (good for eating alone)
Really nice food and a great atmosphere!
Amazing food, everything Ive had here has blown me away, super friendly staff that truly care about the entire experience. Katsu is the first place I go when friends from out East come to visit, and is usually the first choice for date night dinner! Take out, Dine In, its always good!
The food at Katsu is sooooooooo good, this might be my #1 place to eat in Penticton. I love the Katsu curry and the soy chicken. They even gave me a potato croquette for free :) definitely try this place!!
delicious, generous, kindness Its also good for vegetarians~ Food
This could be my favourite restaurant in the Okanagan. The katsu dishes they make are amazing. I lived in Japan for two years and South Korea for one. I used to get donkatsu while living in both countries very regularly. The donkatsu at Katsu Heaven rivals the donkatsu from any restaurant at which I ve eaten in Japan or South Korea. It truly is a pleasure eating here.
First time stopping by, excellent food. See you again soon! Food
We have dined in and have had take out and everytime the food has been absolutely wonderful. They also make you feel very comfortable with welcoming smiles and gracious waves goodbye. They are the best example of hospitality and great food and we can hardly wait for our next Katsu meal.
Food was absolutely amazing, very happily surprised. Service was top notch. Lighting and booths were great, only rating atmosphere at 4 because against all logic, nobody was in there. Lived in Asia for 3 years (Taiwan, and traveled) love food and cooking. Go here.
Ordered takeout, food was ready in under 20 min, super friendly service. The ramen was delicious and loaded with veg, there was so much sweet chilli korean chicken that I couldnt finish it in one sitting. Ridiculous amounts of delicious food for a very good price. Vegetarian options: Veg ramen was fantastic.
I just did a takeout service for my first time here tonight But would definitely want to come back to dine in It is beautiful and the service was really sweet! I am visiting from the West Coast and I love my Korean chicken Which I was able to get! I was very impressed with the takeout packaging it was even in a fibre cloth bag! No plastic! The Korean chicken itself was absolutely delicious melt in your mouth! I do love Katsu chicken as well and would love to return to try that! Happy to see this place in Penticton and how beautiful it was inside! The server was also very accommodating as I did not want any carbohydrates and I got a little extra protein
Absolutely amazing service, food was to die for, came quick, and the restaurant was clean and organized. You can tell they really care about what theyre serving.
I cant believe how stupidly good this restaurant is, I hugely recommend that people only get a single portion and share it because its huge portions and its my new favorite lunch, lunch and dinner place in town, absolutely delicious. The staff was also exceptionally nice.
Amazing katsu! Made the trip from Kelowna and it was 100% worth it. Delicious, crispy, fresh katsu, beautiful presentation, great service and a really cool space. It reminded me of being back in Japan. We tried the special katsu and the curry katsu udon. Both were fantastic. Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian options
Katsu Heaven was fantastic. I would definitely come again. My husband and I came for a casual lunch date. The booth seating made the restaurant feel like we were in our own private area even though there were many other patrons. Service was prompt. They gave us complimentary potatoe cakes which were very yummy. The lunch specials were large portions. (See photo) Tonkastu (breaded pork cutlet) was great. My husband had the chicken, also great. Loads of fries, salad and also comes with miso soup and California roll. The cutlet is served on a grate on the plate so it s super crispy. We had some leftover fries and sushi. Had the sushi later in the evening and it felt fresh still. Had the fries the next morning and it still tasted decent surprisingly. Great dining experience all round! Dietary restrictions: Basically everything was dairy free.
Seriously amazing food. This is definitely a hidden gem in Penticton. If more people knew about this place I would imagine they would start getting line ups out the door! You wont leave here hungry, portions are great!
Great place with tasty food and even better portions! We will definitely be back when we are in the area :)
The best Japanese restaurant ever! Everything was so delicious!
Best food in town. Hot and very tasty! Huge portions!
We came here on opening day! Incredible food and such welcoming and accommodating staff. Our server was fantastic made sure we had everything we needed. The chef even came out to ask us how everything was tasting. Highly recommend stopping in! Thank you Katsu Heaven, we will be back! Vegetarian options: Tofu and avocado rolls
The staff are super friendly and welcoming, went opening day so they were very interested in making sure we enjoyed everything and asked for lots of feedback. The food was excellent! Lots of flavour and cooked just right, lots of excellent vegetarian options, and the portions were very generous. Loved everything about Katsu Heaven and looking forward to our next visit!
Came on opening day, staff were very welcoming and attentive. Ordered the Japanese curry udon with pork katsu and some potato croquettes, both were excellent! Light and crispy coating, tender and juicy pork. Will definitely come back
I got the Yakisoba and it was delicious! Service was very friendly and attentive. I will come back soon :)
Delicious and fresh ingredients best sushi in Penticton
Bangin
Was a really great experience. Staff was really nice and food tasted great aswell
I absolutely LOVE Katsu Heaven. Their yam rolls are the best in town in my opinion! The portions, quality of products, and prices of the items Ive tried are all fantastic. The staff and Owner are all very kind, welcoming!
Wow! My first time eating Katsu, but not the last. Excellent food, service and setting. Well done!
The best. We had Udon, tempura, and some appetizers. It was all delicious.
Ordered takeout tonight. Spicy Yakisoba, Speciality Sushi dishes and 1 appy. They were all excellent. Cant wait to try the curry dishes next and some more appys. Great location and friendly staff.
Great food, quick service and nice ambience, its a heavenly place to eat!
Great food, healthy portions, fantastic value. 10 out of 10 service and environment!! Highly recommend
Absolutely delicious food. Katsu was crispy and yummy. Great place, I highly recommend it.
Ate there twice in a row. Great food. Will definitely go there quite often
Food is absolutely amazing, very tasty and they have a lot of options. Their service is great, they will explain every little detail of each sushi on the menu or of each combination they offer. Everything is very carefully prepared and tastes are brought to perfection. Best Sushi In Penticton!
The Garlic Soy Fried Chicken is amazing.
As someone who previously visited Japan once in their life, this place is actually a little bit of heaven for someone craving some dishes like the ones made there. The food was amazing, and the service was astoundingly friendly. I highly recommend you go here!... just make sure you really are that hungry when you order. I mightve had eyes bigger then my stomach at the time.
Pork loin katsu and the Korean fried chicken (soy) were incredible. Fast and quality service. Happy to see this place here.
Friendly restaurant featuring fried Japanese and Korean food. Tried the pork cutlet and fried chicken and they were both delicious, but the menu also had options for sushi. Very open and comfy space, super polite staff. Family friendly atmosphere and good value with generous portions. A welcome addition to Penticton! Kid-friendliness: High chair and cutlery provided. Our little one made a bit of a mess but the staff were kind and made no fuss about cleaning up.
The food was absolutely delicious! Staff were super kind, it was nice hearing even the kitchen staff say hello to everyone that walked in! We walked in with a stroller and they were very accommodating with it too! Definitely my new favourite sushi place. I hope they come up with some dessert type items soon!
wonderful restaurant! never been to penticton before and just randomly googled food around us. beautiful restaurant inside, parking outside was very easy to find as well. service was swift and staff were just splendid! food was amazing as well! one of the chefs even came out to see how we were doing :) definitely recommend this place and would come again if we didn t live so far away!
Great service, clean modern space and food was really good! Had the chicken Katsu and will definitely go back!
The place was very cozy. chicken katsu meal was delicious, and it was always fun to grind your own roasted sesame into paste. Service was a bit slow sat for about 10 mins before the order was taken. Food came fast afterward
Top of the pops!
Excellent food, very sizable portions, friendly and attentive service. Very pleasant surprise, highly recommended.
The food tastes amazing, good presentation, large portions. Servers were really nice too. Highly recommend this place
3rd time my husband and I have gone. The service and food have been excellent every time! I got Heavenly Katsu for the second time and my husband tried the Chicken Katsu Curry. We also got some Pork Gyoza, Tempura Yams, and we also tried the Potato Croquettes! Everything was delicious and filling. All the fried food was light and not greasy at all. We didnt get sushi this time but in previous visits its also been very tasty! Overall a satisfying meal and as locals we plan to visit often! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs in this place and they have tables that should accommodate wheelchairs well.
Amazing food and amazing staff. We drove into Penticton late afternoon and hopped into this restaurant, after just a few minute of waiting, the server brought some complimentary food for us, because we looked so tired, The pork katsu was amazing (same with the portion). would love to come back again!
Yummy, Yummy! Their lunch specials are amazing! Food
This place has delicious food! I ordered takeout and the girls were so nice! They gave me a delicious potato appetizer for free! That was certainly a nice surprise when I got home. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend this place.
The food is delicious and the service is very friendly.
Food is amazing and their lunch special is generous and delicious.
Delicious food. Beautiful Vibe and lovely service. Fully recommend.
So good!!!
This place rocks, would come back again any day
There is really nothing too special about this place, but their food is very consistent with what one would expect at a sushi place. Good food and great service. Thanks for the reliability in all you do.
A real standout Japanese restaurant in the Okanagan. You can tell the owners are very passionate about this business. The interior was beautifully decorated, Ive never been to Japan but it seemed like they were going for hardcore old school Japanese vibes. Loved the booth setup. Food was next level tasty with very generous portions. When I saw how nicely the place was finished I figured it would be real expensive but was pleasantly surprised. Definitely check it out if you like Japanese food.
Our favourite new spot to eat in Penticton. So happy to be able to get my Katsu and Japanese Curry fix locally now. What are you waiting for, go get some for yourself. Food
These guys know how to do it. Amazing presentation , taste and service. My 2.5 year old daughter tried the yakisoba and gyoza and loved it. We ll be back soon.
was given a potato croquette. it was sooo good! Ordered chicken katsu yakisoba, chiken udon curry and fish katsu set and everything tasted great! Would definitely recommend!
A hidden gem in Penticton! We found this place just by looking up nearby places on google and we were so happy to find this restaurant! The food came out quick and the service was good the portions were VERY generous and they even gave us some potato croquettes on the house. Coming from Vancouver.. which has a lot of katsu competitors this place definitely makes their katsu very well. Light, crispy and not dripping in oil. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is hungry and wants some high quality katsu for a reasonable price.
Huge portions. Amazing service. Everything was delicious.
Huge portions and high quality food at a reasonable price. Best Katsu Ive had in ages. Also had excellent tempura and tofu appetizer. Worth seeking out.
Very clean place and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Food is excellent. Overall excellent place to eat and to spend time with family.
This place is a gem! They serve very generous portions. Food can easily beat any of the ones I ve had in Vancouver and the shaved ice beer is such a cool drink. We had the pork katsu set and chicken curry udon - both amazing. Can you open more locations please!?
Delicious food, super friendly staff.
Food was great. Staff were really nice and took a lot of care packing my to go order which was much appreciated. Curry is delicious.
Great food! The pork katsu was super crispy and juicy. The portions are quite big. The restaurant looks brand New and it was very clean. Kid-friendliness: High chairs; kids cutlery.
Huge serving of Katsu! I have never seen two Katsus served in one serving before. It was seasoned well, miso soup was tasty, and the store had a good atmosphere
We ordered the Takoyaki to start and also received two samples of the deep fried potatoes which were so tasty! I ordered the Japanese Curry on Udon Noodle (pork) and it was a massive plate of food and so so good. My partner ordered the Pork Loin Katsu and had fun grinding up the sesame seeds. This was also a large helping of food, there might have even been two pork loins with his dish. The pork also comes on a wire rack to keep the coating crisp, which was a new experience for me! The booths are super cute, the whole restaurant looks great inside.
Easily the best Japanese style curry in the valley, and when I pickup my takeout its always waiting with the machine ready, so its right in and out which is great if youre in a hurry. Super friendly staff, amazing food and atmosphere.
Love the place, delicious food, great service, huge portions. Will come again 100%
Four of us had lunch today at Katsu Heaven we all had terrific meals. I had the chicken Katsu . Light and crispy and cooked to perfect. Massive portions, and returned home with another meal for tonight. One person had curry Katsu, another Yakisoba, and another pork Katsu. We all loved our meals. Service was terrific, and atmosphere is nice. Will definitely return.
I brought different friends and visitors to here and everyone enjoyed it!!
Katsu Heaven is an absolute delight! The service was incredible, food was fresh and served piping hot. The portions were generous, leaving us fully satisfied. The prices reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The SnowCap Beer perfectly complemented the delectable Octopus Balls, Chicken Katsu, and Chicken Katsu Yakisoba. A must-visit for those craving a delicious Japanese meal with a cozy ambiance. Another great locally owned restaurant in Penticton.
One of the best restruants I have ever eaten at, the food and sevice was phenomanal. Everything was fresh and savoury, the menu seemed a bit small but what they offered still gives you decent choices
cannot give anything else besides 5 stars! Everything was above expectations. All katsu was super crispy, good portions, nice and clean interior. Food : 5/5
What a great place. The curry katsu was great and large. The green salad was excellent. The pork gyosa ...The best.
Fantastic food! my first time eating Katsu and it was super delicious. We got a complimentary appy as well croquettes which was tasty.
happy tummies and satisfied palates at @katsu_heaven ! mine: Katsu (Pork Loin) on Stir-fried Yakisoba Noodle - 9/10 Mango Avocado Roll - 7/10 Peachade - 10/10 daddas: Katsu (Chicken) with Japanese Curry on Rice - 9/10 Negitoro Roll (Tuna Belly with Green Onion) - 7/10 Xanders: Mild Dumpling Ramen - 10/10 - presentation was a winner, all our Katsu meals and bubbs ramen were definitely satisfying.. the sushi rolls could use some oomph though, cause the rolls kept splitting and i think we expected too much of them too, even if theyre not the main menu.. but overall a great Japanese place to have in town! - when we went there it was the first day after their launch so it was SO busy, and the wait to get in was almost 30 minutes, and to get seated was about 10-15 more, but the wait for the food which was less was actually super worth it - 2nd time we went there was faster definitely! - the candies after were a good touch too! Update: 07/30/23 Baby Octopus Takoyaki - 9.5/10 > my craving for Takoyaki is satisfied dadda tried it first, and was impressed even if he doesnt normally eat takoyaki! He described its good smooth texture, with chunky bits (which is the ).. i do miss the variety of flavors i used to get from our usual place in Ph Deep Fried Potato Croquette (on the house! ) - 8.5/10 > Katsu Heaven was so sweet! And we definitely liked these croquettes, nicely fried, soft and smooth too! Though we have high standards for croquettes since our abu makes the best ones hehe mine: Katsu (Pork Loin) with Japanese Curry on Udon noodles - 9/10 > my new fave! LOVE the udon, so missed having udon This was so soft yet firm, and so fresh tasting.. i can eat even just the udon all day daddas and bubbas: their uzh, Katsu with Japanese Curry on Rice, but Pork Loin this time (not pictured) - 8/10 for the dad, 10 for the bubb > both boys are happy with their meals! dadda said he still favors Chicken Katsu though my drink, my uzh too, Peachade - 10/10 - went there just an hour before they close, and we were their last customers.. felt so nice to have a delicious cosy evening with my boys
We reached the restaurant at 8.05pm, just 55 mins before they closed for the day. The hostess was friendly enough to accommodate us. The atmosphere was excellent and boy, the Katsu was great! The curry was one of the best Ive had and my 3 year old son walloped 6 pieces of the takoyaki! Id definitely visit this place again! Keep it up!
Friendly, fast service and generous portions. Love the design of the booths.
Great Japanese dishes!
Best katsu place in Pentiction hands down! I ve been in Pentiction twice and discovered this hidden gem from a friend. The food quality was excellent and the waitress was really nice!
Amazing food! Their Katsu is a must try for those in Penticton. 10/10 recommend.
We went during lunch hours, so I decided to try the pork katsu lunch special. My friend had a curry katsu udon. Both were tasty, but mine was definitely better value - coming with a miso soup, light salad, and generous helping of fries. The katsu was delicious - crispy on the outside and tender where it matters. The interior of the restaurant was clean, open and welcoming. Will definitely keep it on my radar when I am back in the Penticton area!
Food is amazing!
Food was wonderful. Excellent price and huge meals. Service great. They need a sign/placard outside. It doesnt look open until you try the door
The ramen is delicious
We came in not knowing what to expect. But left with a big smile on our faces. Generous portion, great price, awesome atmosphere, and what a umami flavors. Everything we ordered was nothing but a this comments,hmmmmmmm this is great taste! And the presentation nothing but the WOW factor! Recommended place to eat for sure! You will be heaven with the umami flavors!
This place is unreal. Everything is fantastic. Excellent service as well.
Damnnnnnnnnn mama. So good. Slurp slurp
If youre looking for flavorful, I definitely recommend. So tasty
Food was delicious and a very large serving! Pleasing atmosphere and delightful friendly but professional staff. . We will return soon!
Food is amazing
We stopped in for lunch on a whim and so glad we did! Food was phenomenal, everything was cooked perfectly. Beautiful atmosphere and decor, and the staff was all super friendly. We will absolutely be back!
I love this place.
Large portions, excellent quality food. Theres never many people in the restaurant at a time, which is a shame. I highly reccomend coming here.
Great value. Tasty food. Huge portion. Monkey brain was fantastic.
Amazing value for the amount of food that you get. The lunch combo is my favourite but the soy garlic Korean fried chicken is a very close second.
Unbelievable flavors and excellent selection! I was blown away best sunomono salad! As well as that chicken HOLY MOLY Dietary restrictions: They are free from peanuts!
Service was great. Food was great. Atmosphere was good too. Beef yakisoba was perfectly spiced and the kid thought this place was great as well.
I ve been here twice now, and it s honestly amazing. I got the chicken Katsu and the snow beer, and can t recommend them both enough! What a gem in Penticton.
What a wonderful addition to the Penticton culinary scene! I have had a delicious pho, and the chicken Katsu yakisoba was amazing. The service was very friendly and fast. Highly recommend.
Fantastic food, reasonable priced, large plates.
This is an amazing restaurant, everyone is so kind and the service is insanely fast
Great addition to the Penticton restaurant scene. Despite getting separate orders, wife and I could have easily eaten here for $30, by sharing an appetizer and a ramen. The service, food, cost vs value factor, and atmosphere is great. We were a party of 4, enjoying appetizers and separate mains, and we all left stuffed! Try it, you won t be disappointed! Vegetarian options: It s not easy to find good plant-based options in Penticton. There are several here.
Friendly service, comfy atmosphere, and the best Japanese curry in town.
Yakisoba is excellent ,very clean
This is the absolute best restaurant in Penticton. We come here almost every week. The service is warm and welcoming. The food is incredibly flavourful. The portion sizes are spectacular! Can t say enough good things about Katsu Heaven! Go try it immediately. Recommendations - Japanese Katsu Curry, Deep Fried Gyoza and Udon Soup Vegetarian options: Plenty of Vegan and Vegetarian options
The best Katsu Ive had in BC, and on par with what my friend had had in Japan.
Got the pork katsu curry with rice and the spicy agedashi tofu with spicy sauce on the side, really great flavour, on the same level as what I had in Japan, the curry was fantastic and the pork was fried perfectly
We come here all the time and bring our friends. The food and staff are excellent. From the food presentation to the cleanliness of the place - 5 stars.
Excellent lay out for a restaurant! I really enjoyed one of the booths, from many, that are made to give the customer some privacy and relaxation as they enjoy their meal. The food was excellent in regards to their specialty: KATSU. To add: Their take out is also very good! 5 Stars! My Wife and I have been to this restaurant about 7 times now and it is highly consistent in quality.
Truly amazing food, and different than anything I ve had in the Okanagan! Definitely in the top 3 restaurants of Penticton! Great atmosphere, friendly staff. 100% recommend
Second time coming to penticton just for this place. The food and service is exceptional. Brings back great memories of Saboten Hakata in Fukuoka.
Always amazing food and awesome service. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Couldnt speak any higher of katsu heaven. 10/10
As a foodie it takes great satisfaction to give full 5/5 recommendations with such eagerness. Their flavours, presentation, and quality is excellent. Quantity is never a real key point for me but they manage to provide it WITH quality.. A rarity!! The lunch special and chicken curry is amazing.. A must try.
Great dining experience all around!!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Katsu Heaven is the best restaurant in Penticton. Incredible service. We tried take out today and live out of town so I had to heat it up and it was just as good heated in the over which is NEVER the case with fried food. The way they fry the food is so good. Very light and it doesn t taste like rancid oil. Highly recommend!
We went in with our family to celebrate a special occasion, the food was great and the service was very nice! Also the proportion you get for the Katsu set is very big. Thank you! Vegetarian options: Each meal type has a Tofu based alternative which is great for my vegetarian family members
I love that besides serving amazing food when I take my toddler there s a plate, cutlery and a nice clean high chair. The servers are so kind and amazing. I m just so grateful for having Katsu Heaven in town Vegetarian options: Cheese katsu
