Katsune Donkatsu Cafe

Stopped by this place because I was craving some Donkatsu. I was surprised they had Cheese Donkatsu, and definitely ordered it!

The good: The Cheese Donkatsu was crispy, and most definitely cheesy! Really enjoyed the combination of the texture, and would certainly order it again.

The bad: I wish it consisted of a thicker cut of meat since it's a really thin slice of pork tenderloin.

Overall, it was really good for a cheese donkatsu, but definitely could be improved with more meat to balance out the thickness of the cheese. Would definitely come back to try their regular Katsune Donkatsu.

This hole in the wall came with multiple recommendations and scored immediate 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟!
Perfectly cooked all the way thru as all porks should be with perfectly fried outside in definitely fresh oil to looks and taste. This is definitely home made bread crumbs done to perfection. Many tries and disappointment everywhere and this place stood out in quality, size and price. The "Wang Donkatsu" was enough for two person to share in no frills setting. For me? I rather have good quality, size than fancy settings with dripping oil and or under or over cooked donkatsu and throw in a reasonable price? This place will hit everyone' fancy. This is my "go to & funderful spot!"

Was looking for good katsu place in NJ and gave it a shot here.

Original pork katsu was awesome. Surface batter is super crispy and pork inside is very tender, no complaint.

However, cheese katsu wasn’t so great. Pork wasn’t as tender as that of original katsu. They first shape the pork katsu like mini bowl and pour cheese in it. So I’m guessing the shaping part is what makes the pork less tender.

My main minus points for this place are
1. It wasn’t that well organized inside the restaurant so didn’t feel very good and relaxing for dining in.
2. It was bit shocking to me that they 100% use only plastic/one-off packaging even for those who dine-in. Too much waste.

Might come here again to pick up their original katsu, once in a while.

A hidden gem near the Fort Lee community center and FLPD. Best Donkatsu I’ve ever tasted in the area. Very friendly and courteous staff, clean restroom and no nonsense environment (you clean your own table after your eating) Love this place!

Ordered for takeout — SO good! We got the pork, beef, shrimp, curry, and the other sauce. The sides of rice are huge (plus the meals come with rice, which we didn’t know). The meat was so tender and the crust was so crispy. The pork was truly amazing. The serving sizes are also amazing for the price. Can’t wait to come back!
