" My experience at Katsu Heaven was very good, but with some slight hiccups regarding the wait. We arrived during lunch on a weekend, and although the wait for our table was reasonable, the food took a little longer than expected. Nevertheless, the staff was polite and kept us informed. Once the food arrived, I completely understood the buzz! The katsu is perfectly cooked and accompanied by a side of flavorful soy sauce that goes well with it. Portions here are quite generous, ensuring you won't leave hungry. I’d recommend Katsu Heaven for anyone looking to satisfy their Japanese food cravings but suggest coming on a weekday for a smoother experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enchanting dining experience at Katsu Heaven! My pick was the pork katsu and it was expertly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. The seafood dishes we sampled were also commendable and added a surprise element to our meal. The interior of the restaurant was brightly decorated and added a fun vibe to our experience. The only drawback was the long wait time before being seated even with a reservation, hence my rating reflects that. Nevertheless, I am likely to return, especially for those who enjoy a good katsu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining here after hearing rave reviews. The interior of Katsu Heaven is visually appealing, and adds an inviting charm. The service was prompt but the food took a little longer than I expected. However, when the chicken katsu landed on our table, it was clear the wait was worthwhile. Crispy and flavorful, it was a fantastic dish! Highly recommend their katsu curry as well. I will be back, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Katsu Heaven has become my go-to dining spot in Penticton! The combination of tempura and katsu dishes never fails to impress. On my last visit, I went for the chicken katsu curry which was just the right level of spice, and overflowing with flavor. I also love their clean, stylish décor that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Even though I live over an hour away, I find myself returning here often, every bite a reminder of the authentic flavors of Japan. Don't forget to try their takoyaki for a delectable start to your meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my visit to Katsu Heaven, an inviting corner of Penticton serving quality katsu. The pork was juicy and rich, complemented by perfectly cooked rice. I also sampled their takoyaki which was a great start! Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow on that particular day, which detracted slightly from the experience. Regardless, the ambiance was friendly and welcoming, making me likely to return in the future to give it another go, especially to try their extensive sushi offerings! " (*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!
