Daruma Katsu 1135 South Dobson Road, Mesa, AZ 85202

"Got the chicken katsu and my friend the butter ramen. Both dishes were fantastic, but that katsu was something special. The crust was perfect, not dry at all, the curry dipping sauce was spot on, easily one of the best I've had. The butter ramen was also wonderful, perfect spice, flavor was great, and plenty of it. Super recommended, a great surprise in a food court that easily rivals standalone restaurants."

"Great Katsu but okay service. Only Korean restaurant that charges for side dishes(if you want more) . I recommend Katsu and Shrimp katsu as well, crispy and delicious"

"This place is located inside Asiana Market at the food court. There is also plenty of parking. I thought this place is Japanese because of the name, but the dishes are Japanese & Korean fusion. I got the Chicken Katsu set and it came out looking all hot and delicious. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and surprisingly juicy inside. I loved it. However, I was a bit disappointed by the curry and didn’t really care to dip my chicken in it. The other side dishes were okay, nothing too great, and nothing too terrible. I would definitely come back to try other dishes next time."

"Visiting and found this little jewel! Huge double serving of Pork Tonkatsu with rice, salad, miso soup, and kimchi. All for $16…and tasted great!"

"Best ramen in the Valley. I ordered the Beef Udon and the Chicken Katsu. The broth was so pure yet flavorful; very beefy. The katsu was some of the best I’ve ever had. It was fried in a very light panko batter, not like some of the heavier breadings. Very authentic and incredibly delicious"
