Finally made it here!! My husband and I went here for date night recently and we ordered the two kinds of meat, the creamy udon, and the cheese tonkatsu. We happen to come on a Friday night a little after they open and luckily it wasn't busy just yet. The service was really fast and the quality of the meat was amazing! The cheese tonkatsu was a bit heavier so by the time we finished grilling our meats and eating some of the udon, we were too full to finish the cheese tonkatsu. The creamy udon is a beef curry udon with a topped layer of this special cream that has this grainy texture similar to mashed potatoes. It was good to try, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll probably try the other noodles that they offer. I really enjoyed the concept of grilling the meat in front of you to your liking. It comes as a set so it was a perfect meal. Will be back with some friends!

Beef Gyukatsu (5/5) - The quality of meat was amazing along with the minimal effort required to cook it. It's a fun dish because it came along with rice & salad; however keep in the mind the portion is quite small. Therefore, we also ordered the: Kimchi Udon (5/5): Not super spicy, I would say a solid between mild to medium spice. It was well balanced.

i ordered the kobe gyukatsu and the spicy beef bowl. the beef bowl was pretty good and flavorful but the gyukatsu was really bad... for almost $30 i would expect better quality but i just thought it was terrible the person next to me also had better looking meat so i was even more sad :,)

Disappointed in the ratio of the cheese cutlet. Way too much cheese and way too big as far as size goes. Advertisement shows 8 smaller pieces we ended up with 4 gigantic overwhelming pieces. The creamy udon was also just mediocre. Felt a little runny and we expected more creamy. The premium gyukatsu was the BEST dish on their menu but for $50, not worth it. Sad to say I won't be back but appreciate the experience.

[4.5/5] Nice Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant. Got a mazemen which surprised me. They gave lots of bonito flakes which gave it a nice fish seafood flavor. There is also a nice layer of minced beef, seaweed, green onion w/ a slight spicy kick topped w a raw egg on top. You mix it all up and eat away. The udon noodles had the perfect bouncy texture I was looking for and was cooked to perfection. They nailed it. It comes with complimentary miso soup, edamame, and spicy pickled radish. I also got to try my friend's chicken cutlet & Creamy Curry Udon. Definitely delicious and our portions were generous. Friendly waitress and quick service! Will definitely come back to try the actual gyukatsu next time.

Located in Buena Park, on Beach Blvd., just north of I-5, Kobe Gyukatsu is also known as Kobe Kyukatsu. Being a Japanese/Korean restaurant, they use those languages' different pronunciations of that same word. Word that means "beef cutlet," which is this place's specialty. They offer several levels of meat quality, all the way up to Wagyu A5, which will set you back $100 per person. Besides the expensive meat, they also offer much more affordable Japanese and Korean everyday foods, from Ramen to Udon, Bulgogi, all sorts of Donburi (rice bowl with beef, pork, chicken etc.) We had Katsu Curry (fried pork cutlet in curry sauce) and beef donburi (beef bowl with rice). The food was truly excellent. The meat was tender, and the portions were abundant. The cutlet was lightly fried and nanaged to be at the same time crispy and tender. Definitely one of the best Katsu Curry I've had in Orange County. Service was prompt and corteous. Highly recommended.

My family and I discovered this place while we were looking for restaurants after leaving Knott's Berry Farm. We took a chance and my god was it worth it. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Everything we ate tasted home made and cozy. The beef gyukatsu was great, my wife's Stir Kimchi Cream Men was out of this world, and myself kids popcorn chicken and chicken katsu was perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Was so excited to find out there was a gyukatsu place in America!! The beef gyukatsu and rice balls were super duper yummy.Parking: Limited parking
I've tried a few different items from their lunch special menu, the spicy Korean q don is very good as well as the katsu Don. I live nearby and I think this is my favorite place to eat in the area. It costs about 14 to 20 dollars for the lunch special bowls but they are very good quality, and come with miso

Went there for dinner and heard that it gets busy so we showed up around 6pm for a table for 6 with minimal wait time. Got their signature dish Beef Gyukatsu, curry pork cutlet and it did not disappoint. Service was quick and responsive. I would return.

Wagyu doin tonight?Beware - parking is very limited, however there's two extra spots right next to the bush by the entrance door (approved by staff).The Premium Gyukatsu is not enough for two people unless you order another item to share. Order the Kelp Egg to dip your meat in! Dish was delicious and the fire went out as soon as the last piece was cooked! The cabbage salad was drowning in vinaigrette but it was good. All the sides were good.Also tried the Mazemen and it has been running through my mind lately. It was delicious but just took a very long time to come out. We were almost done with the Gyukatsu when it finally came out. Good things take time, right?? Another thing is their Mazemen doesn't come with a side of rice to mix in at the end like other places. Not complaining, just pointing that out...I was stuffed after both dishes.So when we going for round 2?
