Mr'J Restaurant

Recommended by a friend! Gave it a go last night for dinner and didn’t regret. Got their Salmon Don and Assorted Katsu and Cheese Set and extra chicken Katsu to share, both with miso soup. Will definitely come to try other things on their menu!

Authentic Japanese restaurant with delicious Katsu. Beautifully presented. Friendly staff. Will definitely come back to try more

17.2.2023Restaurant specialises in Japanese Katsu dishes. All meals are freshly prepared. Highly recommended!With Paul Chan.

The assorted tonkatsu was amazing - the pork was so soft and the prawn nicely crunchy and fresh. Beautiful when paired with the katsu sauce with fresh ground sesame.The cheese filled pork katsu with sweet potato on top was...interesting? Personally was not as enamored with the sweet potato. It was done well, the sweet potato was just the right sweet but it is just my personal preference to prefer a more savoury taste.All in all very satisfying experience. Service was fast.

There's been a bit of turnover in this shop space so hopefully these guys will be able to last. Food is decent and reasonable value.We ordered:* assorted katsu meal, $22 - pork loin + pork tender lion + king prawn 1pc; served with rice, salad, and miso soup* hire curry, $13.50 - pork tenderloin* extra cabbage salad, $2* extra chicken katsu, $8The assorted katsu is their signature dish and a great choice for a first timer since you get to try a variety of their katsu protein options. Having said that, personally I'd just stick to the rosu-katsu (pork loin) next time, as I enjoyed this the most. This cut has more fat compared to the tenderloin which I found a touch dry, so appreciated the better mouthfeel and fuller flavour of the rosu.All katsu pieces we had were fried well and my meal set was served with some sesame seeds in a separate bowl for DIY grinding - just be careful about entrusting this to young and overly eager hands as they might lose some of the load! There are instructions on the table about what to do - basically grind then add tonkatsu sauce, and use this as a dip for your katsu. The set also includes a small amount of wasabi and pink salt, which you can use to accentuate the taste of your katsu.I would say that the chicken katsu and king prawn are both fairly competent, and make for solid choices if you're after a non-pork option, but the pork loin is the winner for me. There's also a version with cheese which is stated on the menu as their best tonkatsu, though the addition of onion and capsicum in this variant may not be appealing to some. Might try it and see for myself.The curry probably isn't anything exceptional but it is pretty decent for the price point. Overall we enjoyed our meal here and will be back for sure. The boy ate more than his usual amount so that's testament to the food we had!PS. There's a 5% cash discount for food (excludes alcohol & drinks).

Sauces are excellent also vegetables very fresh curry was little bit salty but fine.Loin katshu with curry was very juicy and perfect taste.One thing that's unfortunate is we ordered hire katshu but its not crumbled well. Also not very juicy as much as loin katchu.It's likely to be a restaurant where everyone has no choice but to give five stars.

The katsu was fried so well! Classic sides inclusing fresh cabbage with sesame sauce, miso and bowl of fluffy rice (tip: add more sesame sauce and toragashi) to leftover rice.Been here twice and highly recommend the cheese stuffed Katsu and seafood katsu. Share so you have more variety.Definitely give it a try!

Very delicious and big portion. Good service and fresh ingredients. Our favourite Japanese restaurant.

This place makes katsu to perfection. I’ve been a few times now and the kids love it too. Katsu pieces are light and crunchy and the pork is top quality. The accompaniments in the meal set make a balanced meal.
