5 stars for the Chicken Katsu. 3 stars for the sauce. After tasting the sauce with the chicken, I tried "Tonkatsu / Katsu Sauce" which tasted good. Then I tasted the chicken with "Wasabi Mayonnaise Sauce" and it tasted even better. Finally, I added "Tonkatsu / Katsu Sauce" and "Wasabi Mayonnaise Sauce" and it tasted great. Served with Sesame Noodles" and "Cucumber Sonomo."

This recipe is alright as written, but is bland, like most traditional Katsu dishes are. I prefer Shin98's Tonkatsu recipe, but for this one, add powdered ginger, powdered garlic, salt, & pepper to the flour before coating. For heat, use fresh crushed asian peppers. I would avoid making this sauce (just doesn't taste right. I prefer to use the store bought Bull-Dog Vegetable & Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce (can order online if not at your local asian market) instead of making my own which I can't get to taste as good as this. This sauce is the exact same flavor I remember from my years living in Japan.

This is a Perfect recreation of the L&L's Chicken Kastsu we used to get in Hawaii. I love it. I have been trying to find the sauce recipe for some time, and you hit it just right. Thanks!

I'm not sure if I should even rate this on here, because I only used part of the recipe. But here goes. You do NOT need to season the bread crumbs/flour! The Tonkatsu Sauce is the seasoning and my advice is to just go buy the Kikoman sauce at the store- it is simply amazing! Also, you DON'T NEED TO DEEP FRY this! I used chicken tenders, which require no flattening! I followed the breading directions, placed them on a cookie cooling rack on a cookie sheet and baked for about 20 minutes at 350. They didn't turn out dark golden but were crispy and SO GOOD! I served over white rice with a drizzle of the sauce- AMAZING! Pics will be up soon!

The recipe was really good! I used curry seasoning, cinnamon, and lemon seasoning (just 2 tablespoons) and it was extremely good. I also fried some rice, eggs, and string beans together and laid the chicken over top with the sauce and it was excellent.

My hubby is from Hawaii and chicken katsu was his fave "plate lunch". I made this recipe for him and he loves it. It is now on our regular dinner menu. It did take me some time to like the sause though

The chicken is really good. I made my strips a little thicker so they could get really golden without over cooking. I added hot sauce to the eggs, garlic and onion powder, chives and cajun seasoning to both the flour and panko. I cooked these in my cast iron skillet that I filled about half an inch up with vegetable oil. I didn't use the recipe for the sauce instead I used another from this site.

This is such an easy and great-tasting recipe! I make it with pork, too, and a friend who lived in Japan said it is typically served with a side of shredded cabbage in a creamy sauce, so I make a quick version with packaged cole slaw mix (the cabbage/carrot stuff) with some Ranch dressing stirred in. It's a great contrast.

Here's an alternative sauce that has always been well received and definitely more palatable: 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar 1/3 Cup Ketsup 1/3 Cup Hot Water 1 Tablespoon Ginger (grated) 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar

This recipe is really good at least the chicken part. Unfortunately there is something really off with the tonkatsu sauce. I've never had authentic tokatsu sauce but I'm willing to guess that the base of the sauce is ketchup and not worcestershire sauce. So anyways I switched the amount of the soy sauce with the worcestershire sauce. Then I just used the same amount of soy sauce as I did with the worcestershire and it came out fine. You might want to use a little less worcestershire depending if you like it with a little bit of a kick. I would imagine that the authentic recipe has that kick given that it's a little bit reminescent of wasabi.

Well, it's very easy to make; however, the chicken itself did taste a tad bit plain. Even with the tonkatsu sauce (I didn't use the one in this recipe but rather a store-bought version) it left something "empty". 5 stars nonetheless; I would make it again.

Really easy and really good. I used boneless pork in place of the chicken. I also used bottled Tonkatsu sauce. My 7 year old ate 3 of them---they were the size of a chicken breast. Will keep and make again!

Easy and awesome. Made my own sauce consisting of ketchup, mustard, soy, and worstershire. Probably could have used a little brown sugar, but didn't have any. Chicken came out crispy and super juicy inside. Lower heat on the oil would have made it lighter in color, but no biggie. My picky daughter even ate it and loved it.

You can vary this recipe by serving the chicken on top of shredded cabbage. Squeeze lemon on top and drizzle the tonkatsu sauce. I have a Japanese market by my house and there is a brand of ready made tonkatsu called Bulldog, it is really delicious. The tonkatsu, lemon, chicken and raw cabbage flavors blend deliciously. Great during the hot summer months!
