Me and my girlfriend went here tonight for date night and were so glad we did. The food was amazing, the service was spot on and the atmosphere was perfect. I would also like to applaud Bruno for his service, he is such a kind and friendly guy he made our night. Bruno suggested that we try warm sake with our meal, as it is traditionally how it is drank, and I am so glad we did. I have never tried sake before but I am a big fan after tonight as it added such a delicious flavor to our meal. I would also suggest trying warm sake with green tea ice cream, you can thank me later for that one, it tastes amazing.

Japanese cuisine is usually a safe and satisfying choice—whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with a group—and Katsubay fits the bill nicely. Their menu features a range of popular mains, including ramen (noodles), katsu (crispy cutlets), and donburi (rice bowls), with something for just about everyone. Having heard great things about their ramen, I went for the Tantan (spicy) ramen—a rich sesame and pork broth noodle soup. Others in our group opted for the chicken katsu and the teriyaki chicken don. Mains were around $24 on average, and we were all impressed with both the portion sizes and the quality of the food. The ramen had a generous amount of noodles and broth, and while Japanese food isn’t typically known for heat, I would’ve appreciated a little extra chilli on the side to kick things up a notch. That said, it was still a comforting, homely bowl. The katsu was also a standout—with a perfectly crisp crust, and the breading stayed intact even after slicing, which speaks to good technique in the preparation and cooking process. We also ordered drinks and shared a serving of takoyaki—so good, we probably should’ve gone for two bowls if your group enjoys octopus. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. The man who served us was happy to answer our questions and checked in to make sure everything was going well, which we really appreciated. All in all, a lovely experience and a great infusion of Japanese comfort food right in the heart of Mt Ede

Both the soup and the noodles in the ramen were excellent. The owner and staff were friendly. Would love to back again to taste more.

2024年12月5日にZool ZoolからリニューアルオープンしたKatsu-Bay。トンカツが豊富にラインナップされたメニュー構成ですが今まで通りのラーメンメニューもあります。トンカツは少し薄めで大判な感じにキャベツの千切りにのって出てきました。ソース類も豊富でトンカツソース、甘味噌ダレ、和がらし、コチュジャン、レモンとお好きな物を付けて食べられます。

I’ve been a longtime fan of Zool Zool, so when I heard they had rebranded into Katsubay, we had to give it a try. Loved the crème caramel and the chicken katsu. They were delicious! The pork loin katsu was still tasty, but the batter wasn’t quite as crisp as expected. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. Excited to come back and try more!
