I've visited this place twice and it was great both times. It's a small place with a modern woody look, with your typical izakaya square wooden stools, and industrial style light fixtures. I've only ever had their double cheese katsu, once with carbonara and the second time with the white snow spicy sauce. Their katsu entrees come with a side of miso soup, a small serving of rice, some pickled daikon, and a light cabbage slaw dressed with a fragrant sesame oil type vinaigrette (all refillable). Both the accompaniments I would say are necessary to cut through the richness that is their katsu slathered in sauce. The carbonara was creamy, with bacon and small shrimp and although ultimately not true to the carbonara name, was very delicious. The white snow option was my favourite, consisting of their house sauce (a medium-thin gravy with fruity and savoury notes) and shredded cheese. The katsu itself was well balanced; a crispy and rich exterior with a tender meat interior---it held together surprisingly well considering the layers of cheese incorporated on either side of the meat. The portions are more than generous and overall great value. Service was quick and friendly. I would say it's cheat-day worthy and as such, I hold Katsuya as the gold standard for katsu in the GTA.
