“ I think this place has one of the best chicken curry dishes and it comes with a huge plate of rice. You can also get samosas and meat pies too. Their veggie cauliflower side is also great. It has new ownership and they serve Bangladeshi food which is just awesome. Glad to know this place is here! ”
“ Love the variety of Bangladeshi cuisine and Iftar they offer. The chicken biryani, tehari and goat curry are some of my favorites. Also pretty generous when you ask them for takeout. I always make few stops there when I am in LA and carry the foods w me all the way to Bay Area. I wish you guys open a branch around SF some day. ”
“ We had the pleasure of visiting Katsuri for the first time on a quiet Sunday morning in LA, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was laid-back, perfect for easing into the day. We tried both the lunch special and the breakfast special, and both were fantastic. The beef was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and the veggies were fresh and well-prepared. If you’re looking for a chill place with great food, Katsuri is definitely worth a visit! ”
