" I was truly impressed by my dining experience at Katsu Heaven. The restaurant itself is conveniently located, but what stood out was the authentic flavor in their katsu dishes. I had the chicken katsu with an impressive tangy curry sauce that was spot-on. The attendees were very friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. However, I must admit that the seating could be a bit crowded at times. I left feeling satisfied and would definitely return to try more from their menu as I saw some delicious-looking sushi rolls being served to other guests! " (*Curated Review*)

" Katsu Heaven surely lives up to its name! The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual meal. I tried the chicken katsu, and I must say it was one of the best I've had outside of Japan! The breading was super crunchy and not at all oily. The staff were polite and friendly, but I experienced a slight wait for my food which was understandable since it was a busy night. I will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for authentic Japanese katsu in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Katsu Heaven does not disappoint! At this restaurant, I tried the signature pork katsu and it was honestly delightful. Crispy on the outside while moist on the inside promised a lovely texture in each bite. The curry on the side was aromatic, flagging up the quality of the products used in meals they serve. The ambiance was enjoyable, filled with vibrant colors and decor. The only critique I have is that service was a tad slow, especially considering it was a busy evening; nonetheless, the staff were friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trying Katsu Heaven was an absolute highlight of my trip to Penticton! The warm hospitality and authentic taste kept leaving me craving more. I had the chicken katsu curry which proved to be incredibly comforting, especially on a chilly day. The other guests around me were raving about their meals too, from crispy tempura to excellent sushi rolls. It's wonderful to find a place that serves not just katsu but also celebrates the diversity of Japanese cuisine. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy when busy, but that surely indicates its popularity! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Japanese food, I’ve been to many places, but I would say Katsu Heaven is unique! Their katsu is perfectly seasoned, leaving a lasting impression.

Service was attentive, although I had to wait longer than expected due to the crowd. Overall, a lovely experience that makes me keen to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Katsu Heaven was a joyous experience! The atmosphere exudes warmth from the décor to the staff who cater to your needs. I ordered the chicken katsu and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity served and the flavors felt genuine. They serve traditional miso soup and salad which were delightful additions. I do want to point out that they could improve on their food delivery service, as our meals took quite a while to arrive. Despite that, I am already planning my second visit to indulge again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Katsu Heaven is one of those places that you want to shout from the rooftops about! The first time I visited, I ordered the pork katsu and was amazed at the tender meat and crispy coating. It felt like a piece of Japan right in Penticton! The harmony of warm atmosphere and fast, friendly service made the experience even better. It’s hard to beat the prices for the portion sizes you get here; you definitely leave with a full stomach! This spot is now on my radar for regular visits. Can't wait to try more dishes next time!
