Jungdon Katsu: Reviews & Ratings
Been ordering from Jungdon for a while now and figured its time for a review. I always order one of their Deluxe sets Anshim is my go to and Deungshim is 2nd fav since I like my katsu a bit chewy. Tried the chicken and cheese katsu too ...
Hard day? Nothing makes it better than ordering takeout of the literal BEST chicken katsu in the East Bay. ...
Run, dont walk. Best katsu Ive had on the west coast! Crispy, not drenched in oil, and bigger ...
only other place in bay area i could find that uses thick cut breading for the crunch on the crust other than SHOWA. I drive 3040min from Daly city to have this katsu twice a month. please open one in west bay to.
TLDR its actually good! I was suspicious of this place when my wife shared it with me. The thing is, all ...
Deluxe chicken Katsu is the best two people portion. This is by far the closest taste to what I ate in Japan and Hawaii. I wish they have their own front shop so we can eat them when it really hot and crispy keep up the good work. ...
Deluxe meals are huge portions and worth it! One of the sauces was unique and different but very complimentary to the katsu. The katsu was fried perfectly light, crispy, and not oily.
My friends said it was the BEST katsu and they were right!!! After taking it over to my place the pork was still warm and crispy. I will definitely be stopping by soon! ...
