Delicious Japanese Food, Amazing service, a nice nonchalant restaurant! I highly recommend this place for anyone who is wanting to try Japanese food for the first time! I cant wait ti come back!!
Recommend the Mussel Stew. Not typically a Japanese dish imho, but the broth is subtle yet delicious. Also had the Tonkatsu set. Appreciated the katsu sauce as well as some curry sauce. Also, liked the Tonjiru soup as opposed to the typical miso soup. Will definitely go again.
This is the first time I go to a 5 star place. One would think its just friends and family reviews. Well, I am a very well travelled person and this is a very honest place. It does a great job with the food and service. Simple menu but all done to perfection. I wish more places were like this.
The restaurant had a clean and wellorganized interior, creating a comfortable atmosphere. ...
Im still dreaming about my meal at Katsuyama! Each bite was a delight, and the presentation just blew us away. Dont miss out on trying their donkatsu pork loin cutlet.
We totally did not expect to find a place like this in Palm Desert It is an intimate little place tucked away in a local mall near Hilton Grand Vacation Club, and the decor is better than your average sushi restaurant in this region. I ...
We did not have the katsu chicken although everyone looked very good. We had the kimchi fried rice which was mildly spicy. And delicious. The garlic edamame was outstanding. We also liked the spicy tuna roll which was very generous. Staff is attentive.
Its a hidden gem. The staff is friendly. Both times I visited the owner greeted me and brought out fresh, homemade kimchi, which was so delicious. Definitely try the ToriKatsu ramen if you like fried chicken. Its light and flaky and pairs well with the rich ramen broth.
