Katte Poke Don & Japanese Curry

Second visit. Pumpkin croquettes, chicken Katsu and a tuna bowl. The katsu was hot and the curry delicious, each order is made to order so it always fresh. The tuna bowl was full of flavour and just the right amount of everything, fish, rice, veggies and sauce. The croquettes are so delicious, fresh and crunchy. This is a hidden gem in the Lower Mainland and I can’t believe more people are not there.

Decided to try Katte Japanese Katsu & Poke. It was not busy no matter what time of the day I visited the food court of Lansdowne Centre. Ordered Curry Katsu Pork deep fried pork cutlet with curry sauce. Waited about 10 minutes. Pleasantly surprised by the portion and doubtful of whether I could finish half of the food, I spooned some curry sauce which was served on the side, drizzled it on a few slices of the cutlet and the rice, and, oh my gosh, they were delicious! The cutlet is on the lean side & covered heavily in bread crumbs. That might explain why some reviews said they are drier than normal. Eating the cutlet without sauce could render them both harder and drier, and the bread crumbs could be rough on the tongue, so beware. I have no ability to tell if the meat was a fresh cut or not, but I would say the cutlet was large and nothing was wrong in the taste and smell. The cutlet was piping hot and irresistible. Rice looked like a tiny portion but was enough for my appetite. Shredded Cabbage Salad was thinly cut and the fruit based dressing was great and make a great balance with the greasiness of the cutlet. For a food court stall, the quality of food from Katte is above my expectations. Definitely will come back for their $12 curry katsu. Next time, I might get their brown rice and a cup of genmai tea.

I was craving katsu curry and this place hit the spot! I had the pumpkin curry with the “salmon slices” salmon sashimi on the side. Perfect combo. The pumpkin curry is a sweet pumpkin croquette with the curry on the side - it also came with rice and salad. The flavours were delicious and it was made fresh when I ordered. Definitely recommend!

Completely exceeded my expectation at a food court! Very generous portion, taste and texture are just right I have already gone back for second round! The lady at the counter is also quite nice to deal with.

I'm definitely coming back here when I next crave katsu. It wasn't busy when I went around 2pm, and honestly I'm suprised because their katsu is delicious and the platter is generous for their prices. I bought a pork katsu and a chicken katsu for $12 a plate, and was pleasantly stunned by the amount of food they give you there were TWO layers of meat in the takeout box! What the heck!! Both cutlets were moist, amazingly breaded and fried, the rice is cooked well, and I like the sauce they give you on the cabbage i think it's a mango based dressing. Everything came hot and fresh. The curry was okay, kind of reminiscent of pre-packaged curry so it's nothing to write home about, but it's the quality and quantity of the proteins that's convinced me to keep Katte as a prime spot for lunch.

I discovered this place about 2 weeks ago, was incredibly surprised by how good the food was. You have to wait around 10 minutes, that's because it's being freshly made. The Chicken Katsu + Japanese curry is $12, there are so much meat. The quality and quantity easily tops most restaurants. Even a big boy like me gets full! I will be coming here on a weekly basis. By the way, I've been here 3 times now :

Decided to try this out since I was craving sushi. Can I just say…… WOW! The salmon, tuna, scallop, squid and surf clam were fresh and tasty. The portion was reasonable for the price. To be honest, this is one of the best sushi dons I have ever had. Will definitely we returning to this place.

My parents and friends had talked about how good this place is for months and I finally try it today. The curry katsu don is very good. The pork culet is tasty, crispy not oily and the portion is BIG. The Ikura salmon don is very fresh so is the salmon sashimi. Will come back for sure.

I am incredibly impressed with the quality of food here, especially considering it's at a food court. In my humble opinion, their aburi set is way more delicious than some of the Japanese restaurants in town! The set also comes with an authentic genmai or green tea. Haven't tried the katsu don here, but heard many great things. So I will definitely come here again!

Excellent poke bowl and katsu. The portion was generous. It is one of the good food stalls in Lansdowne.
