Izziban Katsu at Lotte Market

It's not worth dining here anymore. I went to Lotte market with my parents and we stopped at the food court for a meal. My usual here has been the bento tray that comes with salmon. Like everything else lately though, the prices went up and the portions smaller but this was like at a whole other level.The "salmon" was paper thin that went down in 3 small bites, the fried rice they charge $3 extra for literally only had soy sauce added to it and like 1 pea, not even eggs or carrots. I literally gave them $24 for nothing. That will be my last time ordering anything from their stall.

There isn't much ambiance here. It is a food court in a grocery store. The workers were very friendly. The food was just okay. I got the Katsu curry. The chicken was nice but I wasn't that big a fan of the curry. It was very thick. The price is a bit high but you do get a bowl of soup with it.

This is just one of the restaurants in the food court. It's so difficult to choose because they are all so good. This time I ordered the takoyaki and the pork dumplings. The takoyake was hot and gooey in the middle and the flavors burst in your mouth. The dumplings were crispy and delicious with the sweet chili dipping sauce.

Lotte Market has just so many yummy options! Many Korean, Japanese and Philippino. I opted to try the Japanese Cheese Pork Katsu from Izziban Katsu.The CHEESE! It was smothered in cheese which is just a dream come true! Very mild flavor with lots of string pull! Pure heaven for any cheese lover.The pork Katsu was perfectly fried and breaded and cut into large pieces. I am not a Mayo fan so I didn't try the salad. I will ask for no Mayo next time.The soup was rich in flavor and simple but delicious.The Katsu sauce was very unique. It paired very well with the pork and cheese.It was seriously enough to share with someone, the portion size was very generous for the $15 it cost.Very impressed with their menu and can't wait to try other options next time I visit the market

My daughter ordered spicy chicken skewer and fish cake soup in a cup and my son got miso ramen. They both enjoyed it. The sauce for the skewer is pretty spicy. To me, the broth for miso ramen was a bit salty without much of other flavor to it. Hubby got the fried chicken. Looks and smelled tasty but I didn't get to try it.

Unique selection of food like cheese Katsu that you don't typically find. Lots of cheese and it was good. A bit pricy but something more unique

Stopped by the food court to grab a bite. I ordered some Takoyaki covered in cheese and chicken Yakitori. My order was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. I have tried Takoyaki a few times before and its just not for me. What I experienced im sure is correct and well prepared. The chicken yakitori was well cooked and so tasty. I definitely would like to try a few other items on the menu on my next visit.

Well, I finally decided to try this place during my most recent visit to Lotte Market (which is now a favorite on my list). There's many choices for food places in the food court, but Izziban called my attention. I ordered the Katsu and Tempura Udon combo. I gotta tell you, everything was delicious! The katsu was crispy and tender and the udon noodles and broth were absolutely delicious. Yes, the prices are high, but you're pretty much getting two plates of food for $17.99, so its fair. I will definitely return and try some of their other offerings. You pay, they give you a beeper device and your food will be ready in about 10 minutes. Not bad at all.

I stumbled upon this place today which made me very excited. I had to try some yummy small plates. The shrimp shumai was amazing. The sweetness from the shrimp complimented the savory, crispy dough perfectly. I also had the vegetable spring rolls. I wish the vegetables had a slight crunch to them. The inside was a little mushy and greasy. The outside was crisp. The chicken yakatori was spicy and sticky sweet. It was served on two skewers and was especially tasty. I loved the atmosphere and the vibe in the market. Everyone was very nice. I can't wait to come back soon.

Probably the worst katsu curry I ever had, felt like everything was taken out of the freezer and microwaved. Ended up buying all the ingredients in the market and made our own katsu curry at home. Disappointed for a place that supposedly specializes katsu. Hope hmart food court does better when they open
