Katsune Donkatsu Cafe - Fort Lee

A hidden gem near the Fort Lee community center and FLPD. Best Donkatsu I’ve ever tasted in the area. Very friendly and courteous staff, clean restroom and no nonsense environment (you clean your own table after your eating) Love this place! 04/14/2022 Update: tried their chicken Katsu today and it was also very delicious

Ordered for takeout — SO good! We got the pork, beef, shrimp, curry, and the other sauce. The sides of rice are huge (plus the meals come with rice, which we didn’t know). The meat was so tender and the crust was so crispy. The pork was truly amazing. The serving sizes are also amazing for the price. Can’t wait to come back!

Was looking for good katsu place in NJ and gave it a shot here. Original pork katsu was awesome. Surface batter is super crispy and pork inside is very tender, no complaint. However, cheese katsu wasn’t so great. Pork wasn’t as tender as that of original katsu. They first shape the pork katsu like mini bowl and pour cheese in it. So I’m guessing the shaping part is what makes the pork less tender. My main minus points for this place are 1. It wasn’t that well organized inside the restaurant so didn’t feel very good and relaxing for dining in. 2. It was bit shocking to me that they 100% use only plastic/one-off packaging even for those who dine-in. Too much waste. Might come here again to pick up their original katsu, once in a while.

Delicious Japanese style katsu (deep fried cutlet). The protein is soft and tender and the breading feels light. Best to have when fresh. It’s made to order so it takes about 15 mins, I recommend you order ahead. Pork katsu is my favorite. They cheese is also good but very heavy. They also have a Korean-style donkatsu, the pork is pounded flat. You order at the counter and everything is packed for takeout but you can eat it in-store if space allows.

So delicious the pork cutlet is tender and crispy goes beautifully with the curry and rice! Also don't forget to try their boba I got the honeydew and that was probably the best boba I've had in a while!
