KATSUMORI (Katsu & Udon)

“I personally really love the stir fried udon items on the menu.”

I personally really love the stir fried udon items on the menu! The carbonara and k-rose udon are really really good. Have not tried the katsu but have heard good things about it from the friends I went with. Service was good. Will have to come back more when we’re all back in town.

Heard great things and finally tried it today — totally worth it. The king-size pork cutlet was huge, crispy, and absolutely delicious. Our kids loved it and cleaned their plates. We’ll definitely be back!

The chicken katsu here is very moist and delicious. The cheese katsu is also incredibly fresh and tasty. I highly recommend it.

“I was nearby and decided to visit Katsumori's new restaurant.”

I was nearby and decided to visit Katsumori's new restaurant. The decor is minimalistic and elegant, featuring clean lines made of wood and stone. At the entrance, a wall displays the phrase “Nothing beats Chicago.” The staff are friendly and quickly seat guests. They offer a table menu where you place your order. I chose Teokbokki and hot tea. The Teokbokki costs $14.99, and the tea is $4.99, which is a bit pricey for a simple tea bag. It took some time for the order to arrive. Meanwhile, all the occupied tables were filled with Asian diners. A large screen played modern music at a low volume, sometimes distracting. My dish was excellent—rich in flavor, made with high-quality ingredients, and beautifully presented. I recommend Katsumori and plan to return to try more dishes.

“Super chic and modern space with a great vibe.”

Super chic and modern space with a great vibe. The food was delicious. The Mori Katsu was super crispy but still juicy and flavorful inside, you could tell it was very quality meat. One of the best katsu in Chicago area. All the sides they served complemented the katsu very well and they were all amazing on their own. They also gave us a sample of udon because it was opening day and the noodles tasted so fresh. Staff were very nice and helped us pick a Soju flavor that was delicious!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing, our waiter was so sweet and polite, he answered all our questions and was very informative. The food was spectacular! I was worried the curry might be a little over powering but it was all equally balanced, the Katsu had me wanting more. It was super crunchy and flaky on the outside but the chicken on the inside was still so soft, juicy and flavorful! So every bite was perfect! I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to all friends and family.

“I stopped by this spot yesterday, and everything I tried was just solid.”

I stopped by this spot yesterday, and everything I tried was just solid. The pork cutlet came out super crispy with a deep, savory sauce that didn’t feel heavy at all. Even after I took a few pictures, the crust stayed crunchy, which says a lot. The cheese katsu was even better than I expected. The inside was soft and melty, and the breading had that light, clean crunch that’s hard to get right. They also have noodle dishes, and those were honestly a highlight. The broth was rich without being salty, and the noodles had that perfect chew. It tied the meal together really well. The cabbage salads and sides were fresh and simple, which balanced the fried dishes nicely. Overall, everything tasted clean, thoughtful, and just really well made. Definitely a place worth going back to. Must try!!

“If you like pork cutlets, this place is definitely worth a visit.”

If you like pork cutlets, this place is definitely worth a visit. The prices are reasonable and the food is really good. I highly recommend trying the main pork cutlet and the soba—they’re a must.

그냥 평범함 특별한 맛을 생각하나 다른 돈까스집을 생각하신다면 실망하실지도.... 매운거 좋아하는 분들께는 매운우동도 맵지 않음 반찬이나 식사메뉴에 국물이 함께 나오지 않아서 식사하실때 국물 필요하신분들은 좀 아쉬울듯 테이블마다 주문할수있는 타블렛이 있어서 편리함 테블렛에 음식사진이 나와서 메뉴선택에 도움이됨 실내분위기나 인테리어는 좋음 젊은분들이 좋아할 장소라고 생각합니다

“I visited this newly opened restaurant today for lunch with a friend.”

I visited this newly opened restaurant today for lunch with a friend. Since it was the weekend and the weather was nice, we expected it to be busy during lunch hours. However, it wasn’t as crowded as we had anticipated. We were excited to try a new place, but unfortunately the first impression was a bit disappointing. When we walked in and when we left, there was no greeting at all. There were two staff members working, but neither acknowledged us, which felt a little unwelcoming. We originally wanted to try the cheese pork cutlet, but it was completely sold out during lunch. Since it was the menu item we were most curious about, both my friend and I were quite disappointed. The food we ordered was decent, but it wasn’t particularly memorable. It tasted slightly greasy and a bit heavy rather than impressive. In addition, the seaweed flakes sprinkled over the rice had a noticeably fishy smell and taste, which made it less enjoyable. During our meal, the staff only approached our table to serve the food and bring the check. I understand that lunch hours can be busy, but since it wasn’t particularly crowded, it would have been nice if someone checked on the table at least once. When it came time to pay, I honestly found myself wondering what the tip would be for, as there was very little interaction or service beyond the basics. I believe the restaurant has potential since it’s newly opened. With improvements in customer service especially greeting guests when they enter and leave and being a bit more attentive it could create a much better overall experience.
