This place reminded us of our travels in Japan. The food was all fantastic. We had the crispy shrimp dumplings, and then the assorted Katsu dish which came with Cheese, Pork, and Shrimp Katsu, as well as the Ebi Don. The Katsu was crispy and...flavourful without being greasy. Service was friendly and attentive. Glad we tried this place!More

The Udon with tofu was simple and had a clear broth that was very favourable with the right amount of noodle. All dishes looked fantastic and we will return. The service was fast and courteous.

If you are looking for the authentic Katsu experience without going all the way to Japan. Head on over to Katsuten. Although, I'd recommend you make a reservation before heading over (especially on the weekend). Made a reservation and headed over to Katsuten on a...Saturday evening. From the moment we walked in we were immediately greeted and our table was ready. The hosts/servers were both (yes there were only two) very friendly and very quick with anything we asked for. We ordered up our drinks and then decided on dinner. Note, if you are not wanting Katsu, you should probably go somewhere else. Katsuten is a Katsu place. I decided to go with the Curry Katsu, and my wife went with the Chicken. We had decided to go with the crispy gyoza as well. Oh. very nicely done without being greasy. Very well done. Our meals came out quickly and were piping hot. The light batter on the katsu was flavourful without being greasy, and was perfectly done. My wife's chicken katsu was golden brown and juicy/tender chicken on the inside. My Curry Katsu was over rice and the curry sauce was fantastic. Exactly what I would have expected if I was in Tokyo. Both meals come with rice, miso soup and shredded cabbage. So delish ! Overall, our service and meals were fantastic. The small place (maybe 10 tables/ 24-28 people max) was busy the entire time we were there. Hence reservations are a must. The nondescript strip mall wouldn't normally suggest the hidden gem, but Katsuten is definitely that. Well worth the trip and a place I'll frequent again !More

Delicious pork tonkatsu! So glad there is a place like this in Calgary, I will be back often. Friendly service and good prices

Katsu is breaded and fried meat, like an Austrian schnitzel, but light and very crispy. Presented on a rack to avoid sogginess. Comes with flavourful miso soup, ample rice, and a shredded cabbage salad with a fresh-tasting citrusy dressing. Breaded pork, chicken, prawns, etc available,...as well as noodle and stir-fry dishes. Bright and clean; friendly staff who were happy to explain dishes to us; quick service Excellent value ($15 for breaded pork loin cutlet meal)More

Good food as usual. Has been patronizing this restaurant for the past 2 years and standard of the food is still maintained. The lotus root salad is a must try and the cabbage salad that comes with lemon dressing is refreshing to go well with...the katsu.More

This restaurant offers excellent crunchy pork chop. It is as good as the one in the food court of Aberdeen Centre in BC. Reason price and portion. Their lotus root salad was another excellent item. Lotus root was cut into thin slices (this is not...an easy job), deep fried, very crunchy, went so good with onion and their in-house salad dressing. Yaki udon was a bit of a rip-off, $12.90 but small portion, kind of bland. Restaurant was clean, including bathroom. A good place for Japanese pork cutlet.More
