Mr. Katsu — Restaurant in Fullerton

If my Doordash order of Mr. Katsu tasted delicious, I knew that it was going to be more delicious if I came in person to order and to eat it right away. That was definitely the correct call because it tasted amazing! Their katsu sandos are the fluffiest in the area and that is primarily due to the brioche bread that they use. I came on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. They make everything fresh to order so you can expect your katsu to be fresh and juicy. You order at the counter and they'll bring your order out. Once you finish dining in, you clean up after yourself by returning the tray and throwing away your trash by the station located next to the door. Would I come back for another visit, of course!!

|| P A R K I N G / L O C A T I O N || -Cross Streets are Yorba Linda Blvd. and Sapphire Rd., pretty close to the 57 North freeway -Located in the same plaza as Little India and Gem Gourmet Meats and more. -Decent amount of parking in the plaza. It wasn't too busy around a Sunday afternoon, but I'm unsure if it'll get packed during the typical peak hours

|| F O O D || Katsu Curry Sando ($12.25) - I'm tied between the Katsu Curry Sando or the Umeboshi Goat Katsu Sando as my favorite from Mr. Katsu because dipping the katsu sando in the curry sauce is such a game changer. The brioche just soaks up the curry and it's just so lovely! I believe you can get a side of curry sauce on the side for any sandwich for an extra cost.

Umeboshi Goat Cheese Katsu Sando ($13.35) - This is such a unique pairing of plum and goat cheese that I had to try out. I actually enjoyed this combination so much that I recommended my other foodie friends to try it out!

Yakisoba Katsu Sando ($12.25)- I would get this if I'm feeling super hungry so I have the yaki soba to help me fill up. It was another unique creation!

Potato Puffs (S:$5 / L: $7)- I got a large size which comes with (10) potato puffs, so I could try out the original and curry flavors. If you're a big fan of Japanese curry, then you'll love the strong flavor of the curry potato puffs. If not a big fan of that, then I would just get...

John, one of owners at Mr. Katsu is a perfectionist when it comes to food because of his passion for good food; so he tries to make sure that customers are happy & satisfied with their food here.

They're very open to suggestions on their food so feel free to let them know.

Katsu Curry (pork cutlet, cole slaw, Japanese curry) 5 stars This sandwich was a yummy combination of Japanese curry which wasn't spicy at all but instead gave the sandwich a nice creamy curry flavor to compliment the crispy & tasty cutlet.

Habanero Pesto (pork cutlet, habanero aoli, pesto, cole slaw) 4 stars the cutlet was very tasty and complemented the pesto spread that was on top of the buttered & toasted bread. The habanero sauce that was drizzled on gave this sandwich a nice kick at the end that didn't overwhelm the whole taste of the sandwich.

The potato puffs (curry & regular) sides that came with this sandwich was delicious crunchiness which you dip into a yummy sauce that makes you want to keep eating more & more of.

American Breakfast (pork cutlet, egg over easy, bacon, freedom, and syrup) 4 stars This is great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or hangovers after a long night of partying. The maple syrup's sweetness compliments the slices of bacon & cutlet tying everything together.

Overall, I loved this little katsu sandwich shop because you don't find many places that specializes in these particular delicious sandwiches that's enjoyed in Japan.

I will definitely come...

This is not a take on the food because I have not tried. I came in here into this place ready to eat some food, but I was very thirsty so I asked to the older gentleman whom I assume is the owner if I can please have a cup of water. He said no, then I asked again.. because I thought maybe he wasn’t understanding me and frankly I was quite surprised that he wouldn’t. He then said no again and it was for customers only. I said no problem, and I walked out.

First, isn’t it illegal for restaurants to refuse free tap water? Please correct me if I’m wrong. I doubt it. Second, are you that cheap that you can’t give a small cup of tap water? It just really rubbed me the wrong way, I’ve never been to any restaurant or establishment that doesn’t give you some water when you ask for it. He had the tiny little plastic cups right there. Anyway that’s my take, I just didn’t feel any human decency and for that I won’t...
