KZ Mori

My boyfriend and I were both pleasantly surprised by KZ Mori! We love katsu, especially katsu with curry so we decided to give them a try when we saw they opened up in the H-Mart food court.My boyfriend got the Mix Katsu Curry (pork + chicken katsu with curry) and I got the Chicken Katsu Curry. It comes with the katsu, curry, rice, salad, and miso soup. I really liked the curry as it tasted like it was made from scratch and not a generic curry block. The chicken was fried perfectly and still juicy. The portions are huge and generous for the price which we really appreciated. We weren't expecting so much food and both had leftovers to take home. Service was great and our food came out fast. You order at the counter and get a buzzer to notify you when your food is ready. Open seating in the food court but it gets busy and chaotic during the weekends.There's been a lot of turnover in this food court with places only surviving a few months, so we really hope KZ Mori will do well and stick around because we really enjoyed them and will be back!

We completed our shopping at H Mart and wanted food. I specifically wanted udon and KZ Mori was the only stall that had udon. The bowl was reasonable at $10.99, you could also make it a combo meal to add chicken katsu. I got just the udon bowl and got the Mixed Katsu Combo for $19.99 that came with pork and chicken curry as well as salad and soup.The udon satisfied my craving with the right amount of protein. It wasn't crazy beef, it was more fish based. It was a light meal. The katsu combo was delicious. I loved the strong curry aroma and the flavor was bold. We asked for more spice afterwards and they added an additional level.My fiancé liked the chicken and I liked the pork. Both were juicy, thin and crispy. I wished they swapped the portion size and gave more rice than salad. Service was quick. We were given a beeper and seated ourselves. The food hall was getting crowded. We sat at the edge of a 6 seat person table. A fella asked to share table and he sat at the end. Afterwards, we brought the tray to the counter.

Great little Japanese food place located in busy H Mart off of Balboa Avenue. I had just taken a class at the neighboring 24 Hour Fitness with the co-habby and we were starved after. We decided to check out the food court in the grocery store and KZ Mori was the only one open at that moment.We both decided to get the Mini Chicken Katsu which came with rice and it was huge! The chicken was juicy, rice cooked perfectly and I couldn't even finish the portion so I took it home for dinner.Service was friendly and swift. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in the Balboa area!

The carousel at the H Mart food court on Balboa Ave continues as the previous vendor lasted at this stall for less than four months before being replaced by KZ Mori. The featured menu items were katsu (breaded meat cutlets) with or without curry. The available proteins were chicken, pork, and fish. The last was unusual as most places offer only the first two types. This cuisine was a much better fit than burgers from its predecessor.Curry Pork was my choice. Rice, miso, and cabbage were included with the set. The staff didn't seem to be bombarded with customers, however it took an awfully long time for my order to be prepared. Even with a numbered beeper, I had to inquire about the status after waiting over 20 minutes. If I had not done so to get their attention, then it might have been another several more minutes before I received my food.The kitchen may have felt bad and made an extra cutlet to add to the takeout container. That was certainly positive along with the crispiness of the product. An issue though was that one cutlet was so large that it exceeded the container which could not be properly closed. Another area of needed improvement was the amount of rice provided. It should have been double the portion size to match up with the amount of curry which was smooth and had a decent level of spiciness.The prices seemed fair. If this business can become more efficient with the freshly prepared katsu, then that will leave a better impression about the wait time. For now, I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at KZ Mori.

Huge and delicious chicken katsu! Big enough that my sister and I could share and for only $17, what a steal! It also came with rice, cabbage and miso soup. The chicken katsu was warm and tender on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside. The rice and soup were very warm and the dipping sauces were good too. The food came out fast in 5 mins during a Saturday lunch hour. I would definitely come back!

My wife sent me here in H - mart to get her Lobsters and Crabs. I noticed upon entering H-MART on their food court a new eatery that occupies what used to be a Burger place. Since I'm already here I gave them a try. I got the MIX KATSU COMBO. A combination of PORK & CHICKEN CURRY, it includes RICE, MISO, and cabbage. ALSO they just recently opened here in SAN DIEGO inside H- MART on MAY 10, 2024 FRIDAY , which was 2 days ago only . Decent portion and pretty good so far.

The chicken katsu was delicious and such a big portion that my sister and I shared! Also came with rice, cabbage, and miso soup for only $17 which is a steal. Also only took 5 mins for the food to be ready on a Saturday lunch. I also loved the sauces for the katsu and cabbage. Will definitely be coming back!!

I'm was pleasantly surprised how good this was. The pork katsu is excellent. Not too heavy and honestly best I've had in San Diego. The udon was also great. Fish cakes not too fishy and enjoyed the broth. The portions are large and shareable. Great value.

My daughter and I ate dinner tonight and we both loved it. She had the fish katsu curry, and I had pork katsu.The portion sizes are very large, we easily will each get another meal out of it. The katsu was perfectly fried, the pork was tender enough to bite right through, the dipping sauce was great, even the salad dressing was very good.
