There are very few dishes that wouldn’t be enhanced with the addition of gooey cheese.  Think about a dish.  Now think about that dish, but with gooey cheese.  It’s better, right?

(And if you’re thinking that this isn’t true for dessert, let me tell you: you’re wrong.)

They have a cheese option for the katsu at Katsuya, which finds the traditional pork loin topped with mozzarella cheese before its breaded and fried, and yeah, it’s delightful.  The pork is tender, the cheese is delightfully melty, and the exterior is nice and crispy.  How could that not be great?

I ordered the Katsuya Original, which comes topped with “Katsuya’s house sauce.”  I’d probably order one of their other options next time — the sauce was a bit sweet for me — but the katsu itself was so tasty that this was barely an issue.
