Nabeel HyattApril 1, 2017Hard to find but worth it, go in The Cube at the railway station then take the escalators all the way up to the 11th floor then wind your way back down the hallway. Its labelled Katsukura.
Yohan Gabriel LiutamaNovember 28, 2017Delicious crispy pork cutlet (Tonkotsu style) with unlimited supply of cabbage and barley rice. Come early, is to the left from the escalator. Waiting time is about 30 mins or more.
- mika metzMay 28, 2016Great tonkatsu with the usual accoutrements. Free refills on tea, cabbage and rice. And you get to grind and mix your own tonkatsu sauce too :)

Cheen The CuriousDecember 14, 2017Every table has 3 pots of sauces: one for salad, the other 2 are regular & spicy ones for katsu. You will be given a bowl of toasted sesame seeds to grind into your katsu sauce. Blend your own :-)
- Steven HillApril 23, 2019This is difficult to find. Look for signs for The Cube Restaurants on the 11th floor. It’s at the very top, to the left of the steps.Upvoted 1 week ago
- Adam LakhaniDecember 30, 2017On the 11th floor of Kyoto station. Delicious katsu, I recommend the pork tenderloin. Free refills on rice, miso soup, and tea.
Justin SearlsJuly 5, 2015"Kyoto-based Katsukura offers nice side dishes like yuba (tofu-skin) croquettes and excellent Kyoto-style pickles. And they're open all afternoon if you need a late lunch." Read more
Berkay BuharaliMay 27, 2018It was a really unique experience. This is very good restaurant with good prices. I strongly recommend the schnitzel with pork. It has all you can eat rice and soup. Be aware you might need to queue.
Li SumOctober 21, 2017True to the great comments made about the food here. The tenderloin pork cutlet was simply amazing. Juicy and very lightly battered. Not oily like some others. Miso soup in the zen set was tasty. Yum!
On the 11th floor of the iSeitan department store there’s this magical food court named “eat paradise” and that’s where you’ll find the best pork cutlet you’ll have in your life. Highly recommend it.
Joachim OoiNovember 12, 2015Waited for almost 30mins in a queue but it was worth the wait. The best Tonkatsu ever! Go for Tenderloin. -Penang Kia Food Critique-
Paul MasataniApril 15, 2018the best katsu i’ve ever had. 160 grams is the perfect size. The katsu sauce is insane with the fresh ground sesame seeds
ShirpsMarch 24, 2016I've eaten a lot of tonkatsu and this is the best I've ever eaten. If you're not a big eater, get the 80g of Sagen pork. There are free refills on rice and cabbage.- Expensive but worth waiting in the line. Pork cutlet is delicious and you can make your own sauce. Side dishes are unlimited.
Shaun LiewOctober 28, 2017Pork cutlet ! This restaurant is in a very secluded spot. Take a lift to the 11th floor through JR ISETAN
ChavelliFebruary 5, 2013Waiting for your train? Have some delicious tonkatsu while you wait! You make your own sauce too. Even the cabbage is amazing.
- Cheen The CuriousDecember 14, 2017The spicy katsu sauce is not spicy, more sour-sweet spicy. To pack a little more punch, tap a little mustard to up your game
Ryan BrightOctober 7, 2016My last dinner in Kyoto. The Joshu pork tenderloin was fantastic. Try the spicy sauce!
Anastasia K.April 6, 2018Go in the afternoon to avoid crowds or waiting in line. We came in at ~3PM and were seated right away
Jenny ChuaOctober 17, 2015One of the best breaded pork ever eaten. So fluffy and tender. The miso soup and salad dressing is so flavourful
Marinka BosMay 18, 2018Super fun place with beautiful entrance and surroundings, great food with self-Made sesame sauce :)
Rob ButlerMay 24, 2016Amazing Katsu. Don't miss the prawn with the white sauce. Delicious!!! Worth the wait, if there is one:- Cheen The CuriousDecember 14, 2017Easy access from the Kyoto station. Make your way to the 11th floor of Isetan, where all the restaurants are
Aristotelis RMarch 31, 2016Very good, although not the most authentic experience. Good if you are in Kyoto station- ChavelliFebruary 8, 2013Great Tonkatsu while you wait for your train. You get to make your own sauce too!
Pdouble0k ⚡️November 25, 2016The pork is so soft and crispy but the crap croquette is alright too creamy for me.
Sally CheeDecember 29, 2019Ok. Ramen soup is soy base . Considered good as queue is not long as compared to others
Melissa OgataApril 9, 2016Simplesmente delicioso! Experimentamos as duas variedades de porco e o camarão e são todos divinos! Mas a grande surpresa é o acompanhamento de repolho. O missoshiro e o chá são ok.
SkywalkerstyleDecember 30, 2012교토의 정통 일식 돈가스 전문점으로 돈가스 명가로 각지에 지점이 있는데, 본점은 산조에 위치해있다. 80g, 120g, 160g 의 고기 무게 중에서 선택하면 되고 밥과 미소시루, 양배추샐러드가 모든 메뉴에 나온다. 맛도 좋고 점원들도 친절!!!
- Konstantin PanovMay 9, 2019Место на любителя: говядина в кляре очень rare, свинина на четверть с жиром (хотя вкуса специфического нет), креветки неплохие, чай со вкусом костра :))) В целом, кляр перебивает вкус всех блюд.

"There are no vegetarian (let alone vegan) options for lunch. For dinner they offer a variety of meals a la carte which we haven’t tried but some of them look vegan."
