Don't get me wrong - I still love Katsuya. It's still delicious and portions are still massive. They've opened a couple new locations - one downtown and one in Mississauga and since then, prices have gone up quite a bit from when it first opened. Like... a lot. At least 4 or 5 dollars since my last review, meaning that you are paying about $20 dollars for a piece of fried pork/chicken.
I used to adore the cheese crabmeat croquettes but I like it a bit less now. Croquettes are supposed to have potato, but there shouldn't be actual potato chunks in the croquette so that you can reduce the amount of cheese and crab meat you put in. If you're going to Katsuya for the first time now, it'll probably blow you away because again, portions are huge and the food is delicious. I understand that Toronto has gotten more and more competitive and rents and food prices have gone up, but I guess I'm quite price-sensitive - I come here a lot less because I can't justify the price for myself. It'll be a occasional treat.
