Our go to place for lunch when down in Midland. Food always fresh & yummy with generous portions. Added bonus is the free tea.
Another nice and simple lunch here, that doesn’t break the bank account. It’s an easy option for my wife and I whenever we’re in the neighbourhood and it’s anywhere near lunchtime. Lots of nice choices from the menu, and really reasonable prices, free cups of barley tea etc. Great value for money, and consistently good!
Always love coming here, great air con on hot days. Yummy food (I order the teriyaki or katsu chicken), have come here for a number of lunch dates and will continue to do so.
Good option if going to midland gate, nice but not amazing.
Nice and quiet out of the main shops.
Chicken katsu was excellent. Udon noodle stir fry was ok.
At least you know it is made fresh as I could hear the wok going.
Better than foodhall rubbish at the shops
Was alot better than the other options at midland gate.
Would not have known it existed but for the reviews.
Always love coming here for the katsu curry. Personally it’s one of the best I have had. The service is always great, the staff are super friendly and get your food ready quickly.
We are locals and this is our go-to takeaway any night of the week!Food: Authentic Japanese flavours, always arrives hot and fresh. Good serving size and price for value.Service: Staff are always friendly and willing to help, and food always arrives quickly.Ambience: Too cold! The restaurant is a bit bare-bones and can be a bit of a chilly echo chamber - more attention to the appearance would be good. Suggested Dish: vegetable tempura, katsu and karaage chicken - either on their own or in a bento box. Always with the miso soup!
Very simple but nice food. Self-service. Ideal place for a quick lunch. The taste of food is just on the average level, but you wouldn't complain about it, as the size is quite good and price is no too bad. My friends liked the curry dishes, I'm ok with everything here.
Great Japanese, just the stuff I want and crave. Food always fresh and flavoursome.
Restaurant is low fuss and the prices are very reasonable
Would recommend the Katsu Don
Good, simple Japanese food with nice, authentic flavours. Went today for lunch and had the Chicken Miso Ramen and Vegetable Spring Rolls. Ramen was good - the miso broth was lovely and light. Liked the crisp chicken on top, but the dish was overpowered by the noodles. Would have liked to see some more mushrooms and veg. Spring Rolls were nice - crispy with a good filling. Left full and satisfied!
Very tasty, affordable, no thrills japanese food. We frequent this place every time we re in midland. Love the takoyaki, salt n pepper squid, katsu chicken, karage and spicy udon. Great value and friendly local service.
Cheap and delicious japanese! Staff are very friendly and polite. Their noodles and fried rice are my go to dish every time! Also very convenient as it can be ordered over the phone and ready to pick up pretty much straight away
LOVED this place so much. We had crispy squid, chicken katsu, spicy yaki udon, gyoza and takoyaki. Everything was perfect, especially the squid and the spicy yaki udon. The place was nice, staff were friendly! Definitely putting this place in my fave list
SO GOOD!
I love eating here dine in or takeaway, quality is basically always the same. Favourite dish is the teriyaki tofu in the set meal, recently there hasn't been as much sauce as I would like but what is there is like liquid gold, SO GOOD. Usually with a side of takuyaki or vegetable tempura, love the garnish and sauce that comes with the takuyaki. Fair pricing and great food.
Sometimes its a little hard to get a hold of anyone to make an order over the phone but in store the service is always great.
LOVED my teriyaki chicken set menu....the size of the meal was just perfect for me. Definitley coming back for more! I wish that there could be self serve water available...as the glasses given to us were very small and it would save the girls from going back and forth.
I've been coming here since it opened. I'm relatively new to the sushi world and I got sick of the standard servo/takeaway sushi offered by places like noodle box etc.
Katsu is clean and fresh. Like their food. This round I ordered the katsu chicken maki with a side of ponzu sauce, because as I said, I'm fairly new to the sushi game. Next time I'll be slightly more adventurous.
Also grabbed the spring rolls.
I'm a big fan of Japanese cuisine and will be dining at katsu more often.
I was actually looking forward to eating here again for awhile, and having another review of this neighbourhood eatery.
The restaurant presents simply and clean once again.
The counter service was decent and patient with a smile.
The Tempura set was a real treat although I would have preferred panko crumbs rather than a light batter, which was still delicious. The Tempura sauce is a tad light and bland.
The Katsu was delicious and will be my staple.
I feel the rice portion is small and for the price should have been a bigger portion.
Again the presentation of meal set is poor, a tray like a Bento could have been used to enhance the appearance. But this is only my preference.
A good place to come to for a quick snack or a meal.
Great value , I eat here with my daughter whenever we go to the cinema, great tasting and simple menu , I have to get the pork Dumplings each time ..... Definitely beats anything else around the area for value .
One of midland's little gems!! A great spot outside of midland gate that has never disappointed! Staff are super polite and the simple decor is always well maintained and clean. Can't go past the chicken spicy coco ramen noodle soup, it is a must try along with the fried chicken wings. Totally would recommend!!
Have been eating here for 18 months now. Never had a bad meal once. Chicken Katsu is a must try. Good sizes portions of great food at a price thats hard to beat. Pays to phone ahead during the dinner time rush, but i havent had to wait longer than 10 minutes on a walk in.
BEST KATSU EVER!. Best Katsu Chicken I have ever tasted in my whole entire life. Try to look for it elsewhere and you wont find it. The sauce on top and the mayonnaise to accompany it is super tasty and the chicken is cooked well and tender unlike the soggy Katsu you'd get anywhere else. Also the Crispy Chicken Pieces on the menu are a must try! Salty, spicey and really damn good.
Great Value & Good Food. This is an unpretentious restaurant, serving delicious classic Japanese dishes. Ask for their old style chicken yakitori - it is scrumptious and remarkably inexpensive. There are no frills here; the focus is on dishing up consistent, tasty meals at prices that represent really great value. Highly recommended,
Chicken Soba Noodle Soup. Another great dish
Impressed. Went here on the day that they opened with my mum and it was great! Really nice fresh food which didnt break the bank and the green tea that we were offered was also delicious! After reading all the other positive reviews ill definitely go back!
We order our work lunches from here all the time. Awesome food. Everyone raves about the katsu chicken but to me the unagi is the best!!!
Stopped here for a late lunch today, when driving around trying to find a Japanese that was open. So glad we found it! We ordered the karaage set and teriyaki chicken set, and both were delicious and cheap. We don't live close by but next time we're in Midland we will definitely stop by again!
Love this place! Its rare to come across a japanese testaurant where the food is fresh and tasty! I always get katsu chicken sushi which is the best katsu sushi ive ever had! Theres a slight sweetness to it that makes it delish! I then get the teriyaki chicken bento box. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and a good serving of the sauce so youre not stuck with plain rice! Very nice staff also!
Even my 2 year old likes this place!
Great prices aswell! Not expensive at all!
Good Food, Great value. My favourite is the chicken udon noodle soup, at $10 it's hard to beat. Always freshly made (yes, you do have to wait a while but so what, have a cup of the free tea and sit back and relax!) The menu is big enough to give you a decent choice and it all looks good.
Don't go there if you are looking for a romantic venue, the decor is basic and the atmosphere is non existent, maybe a little music might help pass the time but do try if you want quality Japanese food at unbeatable prices!
Staff are always friendly and they keep the place nice and clean (which is more than I can say for some other Asian food outlets in Midland.)
About time!. Poor old Midland with its tired Chinese restaurants, or pubs serving over rated and over priced meals. Thankfully a place like Katsu is now serving healthy, delicious and inexpensive food. You do tend to wait a while for the food, but at least you know it is being cooked fresh. The staff are very sweet and the food is very tasty, and very reasonably priced too. My kids love coming here, and when a family of 4 can eat for $50, I love coming here too.
What a Gem!. Well you don't go here for the atmosphere, but the food was spot on. all mains come with miso, salad and rice, teriaky chicken was really good, the sahimi was cold firm and fresh. Go for cheep really good Japanese.
Excellent value, excellent food. Sometimes the food takes a bit longer than I'd like but I'm never disappointed. They use good quality ingredients (especially the beef) and they prepare them right. One of my favourite places to eat.
Great food, free green tea :) highly recommended
Delicious. I am so grateful a tasty Japanese restaurant has opened in Midland. I have dined here a few times and it is always fresh, fast and delicious.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Excellent Japanese food. This is one of my favourite places to eat. The food is incredibly good and the prices are very affordable. My initial assumptions was that it would be a fast-food shopping mall experience complete with rudimentary teriyaki sauce smothered over everything. What you will find instead is fairly authentic and quality ingredients albeit partially ruined by a cold and sterile decor.
A true test of any Japanese eatery is the sashimi and Katsu does not disappoint - you get a generous servings of salmon, tuna and kingfish complete with rice, miso and a delectable carrot and daikon salad. The fish tastes and smells fresh and tastes great. All this for about $14.00!
Katsu has one of the best tempura vegetables I have ever eaten. Light, cripsly battered vegetables cooked precisely how it should. One way of testing this is to dip it in the sauce provided and it still comes out crisp. The salt & pepper chicken wings are another well prepared dish worth trying. I saw a number of people enjoying their ramen soup dishes which also looked great.
If they could just get the setting right - turn down the air conditioning, replace the cold white lights with warmer ones and maybe when it picks up business invest in better decor and furniture. I am worried that not enough people know or are going to Katsu and Midland region will lose a great eatery. Don't be put off by the food hall impression and give it a shot. The service is top notch as well.
Take away. I have had the Katsu curried chicken. the chicken was wonderful. I also had the Omu rice. Fantastic - I'll be going back to explore the menu.
My new local.. To put it simply, Katsu is delicious, fresh Japanese food at an amazing price. The staff are friendly, portion sizes good and meals are tasty. The service is wonderful, restaurant is clean and food is served quickly.
For value, I recommend the Mix Tempura Udon or the Teriyaki Fish - you won't be disappointed! The sushi/ sashimi uses quality fish and is deliciously fresh every time.
If in Midland, you should try Katsu for a quickly served delectable and healthy meal.
Best Japanese in the east! Its more casual eating compared to its neighbour but yummy and at $10 a bento box you are laughing! I tried the chicken udon soup as well...love!
Our family's favorite restaurant! Salmon fried rice taste fantastic. Their chicken kaarage is one of the best in town. Salmon sashimi always serve fresh and squid tentacles is super delicious. Very friendly staff and price doesnt hurt your pocket. They provide free tea. Spacious and clean place too. Must go and try!
Katsu - Midland
Another nice and simple lunch here, that doesn’t break the bank account. It’s an easy option for my wife and I whenever we’re in the neighbourhood and it’s anywhere near lunchtime. Lots of nice choices from the menu, and really reasonable prices, free cups of barley tea etc. Great value for money, and consistently good!
I always order the Salmon fried rice..... I highly recommend trying this dish.....and this place consistantly gives their best....
Inexpensive, filling and delicious!
The best product here is hands down the Katsu Chicken as the batter is nice and crisp, even when submerged in their average curry, while surrounding the tender chicken. The sweetness + saltiness is just right. The Karaage was decent, but definitely choose the katsu chicken when visiting.
Bonito based ramen is very clean with little oil. I really enjoyed the fried tempura pieces they give with the beef ramen as it was lightly battered which doesn't overpower the vegetable completely. I recommend the beef over chicken (trust me, that $1 will make a difference). The spicy coco ramen wasn't really spicy and their curry is very one dimensional unfortunately.
Staff is exceptional, always smiling and polite.
Delicious food, nice serving sizes. Takoyaki Balls are amazing and fluffy, Chicken Katsudon was really nicely cooked great flavour, rice was a touch watery though. Apart from that excellent.
Good value for money
My wife ordered the Katsu Chicken set and I ordered the Teriyaki Fish set.
Both sets came with a basic salad and miso soup each. Each set was only 12. There was also free tea. As much as we wanted
