What People Say

"Generous with the chicken katsu and everything taste SO GOOD."

Reviewers consistently praise the generous portions and delicious flavors, especially the chicken katsu.

"Doesn’t disappoint at all. Greeted with the most cheerful staff at the counter, which then recommended me the lunch menu. Very balanced meal of carbs, protein and fibre! Generous with the chicken katsu and everything taste SO GOOD. Even without the sauce. Thank you!"

"We had a lovely meal here! They had some katsu chicken and satay noodles at half price, and a great selection of sushi... And a fantastic katsu curry! Cheap as well, around 20$ per person for s very filling meal."

"The sushi does not taste fresh but also there are far too many sauce combinations. It’s as if the ingredients are not fresh enough to stand by themselves. Don’t recommend."

"The chicken katsu with noodles was delicious and the portion was generous. The crispy chicken and perfectly cooked noodles were a great combo. The staff was friendly and made the experience even better!"

"Different location, same TJ Katsu! There’s a reason why the Chicken Katsu is their best seller. If you want to know, you ought to try it."
