" While many rave about Evil Katsu, I found it to be just okay. The portions were rather small for the price and it didn’t strike me as authentic. The chicken katsu tasted more like a fast-food version than what I've had in Japan. The service, however, was friendly, and the atmosphere was chill. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is quite delightful! The katsu is undeniably flavorful, and I really enjoyed the spicy curry. The restaurant may be small, but the atmosphere is inviting. It’s definitely a spot I’ll recommend to friends searching for hearty food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food at Evil Katsu was pretty good, I felt that it was overpriced compared to other places I've been to. The katsu was fine, but the portion sizes could be larger for the price. The service was friendly, which is a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible meal at Evil Katsu last weekend. Each bite of the chicken katsu was juicy and packed with flavor, and the curry was a perfect match! I will definitely be back for more delicious bites soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't blown away by Evil Katsu, honestly. The food is decent, but it lacked the authenticity I'd hoped for given the name. The katsu was okay but not exceptional. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was casual, but overall, I wouldn't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Evil Katsu offers an enjoyable experience overall, but I expected more from the chicken katsu. It was flavorful and crunchy, but I found the portion slightly small for the price point. Nevertheless, the service was impeccable! I’m still likely to return for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a cute little katsu place! I had the chicken katsu bowl, which was perfectly sized. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I will definitely be back, not only for the good food but also for the excellent service. " (*Curated Review*)
