Maisen Katsu

Awesome katsu! great portions, and the katsu was fried really well. Would def come back, and it's inside the H Mart too!

After a fun shopping trip at HMart, I was craving a quick and yummy snack, and Maisen Katsu was the perfect choice.I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't too busy, and I managed to snag a table close to the action. I decided to go for the pork Katsu salad, and let me tell you, it hit the spot! The portion was just right, and the flavors were on point. The best part? The wait wasn't too long, so I was able to satisfy my hunger without any major delays. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back for more.

Solid spot. My friend and I were hanging out touring all our usual east valley joints and Hmart is one spot on the usual "tour." Usually we try to cross off a new EV spot that's on our "must try" list. This particular day, we were not in particular mood, had no specific cravings, nor could we even muster up the willpower to make a decision. So, since we were already there perusing the aisles of Hmart, it just made sense to dine at their food court. I opted for the katsu because I had a recent lackluster experience at another spot with their katsu dish. This place definitely helped with some redemption of good katsu. Nice & crispy but a tad bit too oily for me. In college, I made friends with many international students from Japan who cooked for me. They emphasized that truly authentic katsu and tempura must be light. Think of the breading/coating as just an accessory to the actual food inside. Anyways, a lil thick and oily but otherwise good in flavor.i got the katsu accompanied with cold soba noodles. The cold soba noodz ended up being the star of the meal (lol, perhaps the ongoing brutal summer heat influenced this opinion a bit ). Portion size was decent for the price of the meal. They were also fast and efficient despite how busy this food court gets on the weekend. Will come back for sure to try other menu offerings.

I recently dined at Maisen Katsu, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary adventure. I ordered the Curry Katsu with Chicken. The portion was generous, The flavors were worth every bite. The crispy breaded chicken was cooked to perfection, and the thinness of the cut allowed for an ideal balance. Each mouthful delivered a satisfying crunch, and I appreciated that the chicken didn't overwhelm the dish. The sauce! It was the unsung hero. Rich, savory, and it elevated the katsu to new heights. Overall Maisen Katsu knows how to do katsu justice. Whether you're a fan of hearty portions or prefer a delicate crunch, this place caters to all. I left with a contented belly and a mental note to return soon. The service was fast, it is located in the middle of the market so depending on the time you go it may be busy and a little difficult to find a seat if you plan to eat there.

Just the comfort food I needed! I got the King Pork Katsu which comes with rice, some mac salad, something similar to cold slaw, radish and miso soup. The katsu was thin but delicious with the sauce. It was pretty pricey for thin meat ($16.99) but I was able to take home and ate it for 2 meals. The miso soup was slightly above room temperature so it was disappointing. The food court is popping! Pretty difficult to find a table so you'll need to keep an eye out.

One of a few specialized Katsu restaurants in the valley serving the most tender Pork katsu comparable with top katsu restaurants abroad! The pork just melts in your mouth and is served with a side of rice and cabbage salad. The cabbage could be more finely shredded but I can live with it. The katsu sauce is Korean style. If you prefer Japanese katsu sauce that's more tangy like me, you can bring your own or just quickly grab one from H Mart. They serve food only in take-out containers after 7pm (but you can still sit down and eat) and stop taking orders right at 7:30.

Got the curry katsu pork and it was delicious! The cutlet was nicely fried and the batter was season well. The curry was flavorful and the miso soup was rich and hearty. The cashier was also very nice and my order came out pretty quickly. Overall a great experience and I would definitely stop in again!

Absolutely love coming to the H Mart food court!! There are so many amazing stalls to try, but this one is such a great Japanese restaurant!! I got the spicy miso ramen and it was to die for! Just absolutely love this place! My friend tried one of the katsu dishes and also really liked it. Definitely recommend the entire food court to everyone who loves Asian food.

I randomly (but semi-frequently) get cravings for curry katsu. I feel like for the past two years, I've had to give up on these cravings because I couldn't seem to find a good place with curry katsu. But I'm so happy to say THIS IS MY CURRY KATSU SPOT. I got the Curry Katsu with chicken and it was so dang good. Not sure how to describe the breading, but it's like shattered, light, crispy coating. The prices seem a little expensive, but the katsu is a generous portion and it comes with rice, coleslaw/salad, dipping broth, and a small scoop of pickled spicy radish and jalapeños. We also got the classic Chicken Katsu, which is great for those who just want a standard katsu. My husband said this instantly became his favorite katsu place. We'll be back for sure!

So delicious, everytime! I just wish they had kimchi. Chicken is cooked perfect, soup is always delicious and rice is
