About KATEN

Crispy golden cutlets and playful Japanese pop-culture energy anchor this lively Albany Highway hideaway. Diners come for the crunchy panko crumb on pork cutlets and generous bowls of chicken katsudon, served up alongside comforting miso soup and crunchy cabbage. Every table comes equipped with a small mortar and pestle to grind your own toasted sesame seeds right into the sauce, while shelves of manga and anime figurines frame the room. The hearty Cheesy Tonkatsu Teishoku arrives stacked with melted cheese beneath a crackling, golden crust.

  • Tabletop Sesame Grinding: Each table includes a personal mortar and pestle to grind sesame seeds directly into the katsu dipping sauce.
  • Crispy Teishoku Sets: Hearty sets pair crisp pork or chicken cutlets with rice, miso soup, and shredded cabbage salads.
  • Anime-Themed Atmosphere: Manga displays, figurines, and pop-culture decor create an energetic anime-inspired dining space.

    An accessible, casual spot that makes spontaneous family lunches and friendly gatherings effortless without high prices.

    Had a spontaneous late lunch here after prowling the strip looking for something that my daughter (13) and I could agree on and we both loved this place!

Hearty Japanese katsu sets and bowls prepared with crispy panko coatings and traditional teishoku sides

  • Cheesy Tonkatsu Teishoku

    the food was beautifully presented with a taste to back it up, I ordered the Cheesy Tonkatsu Teishoku and every aspect of it was great, the cheese remained melted through the entire time I was eating, the pork was wonderfully cooked and meshed well with the cheese.
