After reading some of the reviews on Katsu I am amazed that my personal experience mirrors that of many. Like others Katsu was one of my first sushi experiences and I absolutely loved it! yet as the years passed and I started to gain a mild proficiency in the ways of the sushi, I started to realize that Katsu had strayed or had it always strayed and I had simply been the last to know. Maybe I simply lacked insight or the depth of knowledge needed to see its foibles, yet they did become glaringly obvious as my relationship with sushi grew.
On the plus side Katsu is clean, spacious and conveniently
located on the vibrant Danforth and although the service can nicely be characterized as "no frills," it is blazing fast. And the Miso salad offers a satisfying crunch and could possibly be the most addictive item on the menu.
For a low-mid range all you can eat sushi joint Katsu is passable, yet for those equipped with a greater sushi appreciation you may be a tad more judgmental.
