We ended up at Kobe Gyukatsu after our initial plans fell through. The food and service were fantastic. I ordered the tempura udon, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was clean yet flavorful, a perfect balance that elevated the dish. My only wish? More of everything—it's that good! I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone craving satisfying Japanese comfort food.

Korean BBQ unlike others. They serve a variety of different grades of beef that you can place on a mini BBQ grill. There are also different types of delicious Korean dishes to choose from. The atmosphere is great. The staff are friendly. If you have a large party it is best to call ahead and make a reservation.

Oh, let me tell you about the absolute flavor explosion I had at Kobe Gyukatsu last Friday at 19755 Colima Rd, Rowland Heights, CA 91748! This place is a meat lover’s paradise, serving up gyukatsu so tender and juicy it practically melts in your mouth. Every bite of that perfectly breaded, golden-crisp katsu was a symphony of savory goodness, paired with fresh, vibrant sides that made my taste buds do a happy dance. The vibe is cozy and inviting, buzzing with energy, making it the ultimate spot to dive into a plate of pure deliciousness. Trust me, this is the kind of food that leaves you dreaming about your next visit! Now, while the food was a total knockout, the service could use a little pep in its step. Don’t get me wrong—the staff were friendly, but it felt like they were juggling a bit too much, and we were left waiting longer than we’d hoped. A smidge more attentiveness would’ve made the experience flawless, but honestly, the mouthwatering katsu was so good it stole the show! If you’re craving a meal that’s a 10/10 on flavor and don’t mind a tiny wait, Kobe Gyukatsu is your spot. I’m already counting down the days to my next plate of that juicy, crispy heaven!

Services are quick and good. Prices are reasonable. The Premium Gyukatsu Beef cutlets are very delicious. (Recommend middle-well) Spicy Chicken Cream Fried Noodles is good and creamy too. Probably come back for udon or lunch set here.

Interesting experience, still waiting to get water refilled. The food here is excellent, got two of the gyukatsu sets and they come with a stone grill cook at your table. It was interesting and we enjoyed it. Also got the katsu sandwiches which were delicious along with the snowy cheese flakes gyukatsu set which was full of novel and delicious flavors. Only complaint is that we only saw the server infrequently and were quite thirsty waiting for water to be refilled. Would recommend the food, we'll be back and maybe we'll have better luck next time

Enjoyed the food here more than I anticipated, and I really want to come back! I ordered the Premium Gyukatsu Combo, and Pork Cutlet Combo. Food was an unexpected delight! I really like how this place breads the beef. The flavor is not overwhelming, and adds a nice texture to the beef. The sides were also delicious! The salad was addicting. Once the food arrived, I thought to myself that it was not a lot of food (especially for how much I was paying). Cooking on the little heated grill is a nice aesthetic. By the end of the meal, I was stuffed and happy!!! The service here is great too! The outdoor dining is nicely spaced apart, and there is staff ready to assist at all times. Fantastic experience. Will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is located inside a strip mall with a shared parking lot. Parking isn’t that big but enough to fill all the guests thats going to different places. If you drive on colima, you can see the restaurant because the storefront faces Colima. This is a place known for Gyukatsu but it has other food as well such as udon and ramen. I ordered a beef combo ( it has salad, miso soup, cheese corn and a couple sauces ) and a ramen. The Gyukatsu is decent and you cannot get it without the combo. I would give it a 4 star but unfortunately the ramen is below average. I would give it a 2.5 to 3 star. Maybe it’s because the restaurant is specialized in Gyukatsu so they didn’t put too much effort into other food. The ramen is just regular ramen where I can cook myself. The service is good and the server is friendly. The price tends to be on the expensive end around $30 something for the Gyukatsu combo but I don’t think it tastes that good for it to be worth $35-40. Average out I would say this is a 3.5 - 4 star restaurant but since I love the cleanliness and friendly service, I’ll give it a 4 star.
