I came out really happy after I dined in this restaurant. Katsu Sora, doesn't seem like a new place in Promenade Greenhills but I've never been here before. January seemed like a good time to try new meals, and this restaurant exceeded expectations.I went for the chicken Katsu as I am trying to cut down on my pork, on the other hand my brother went for a really nice pork brand for his meal. It fetched quite a hefty price for a dish. Mine was only around 200+ but my brother's meal was around 600+. Although, when I saw how my brother enjoyed his meal, it was definitely worth every buck. The reason I showed the price contrast was because either way, you can have access to their salad bar. I was ecstatic. I'm a big fan of shredded cabbage with the roasted sesame dressing. They had fruits there too like pineapple and watermelon. I also liked their pumpkin and potato salad. They had bottomless hot tea for your beverage and the perennial favorite of most Filipinos unlimited (Japanese) rice. This is just the accompaniment to your meal, I haven't described my main dish yet.My viand was the chicken katsu, it was very tender on the inside, and had this beautiful layer of golden brown breading. What's not to like here? I love the katsu sauces too which you can mix with freshly ground sesame seeds. My brother on the other hand had this huge donburi meal and he finished everything, not in one gulp but he finished before me. He looked really satiated with the food we ordered.Service is also very good, since it's my first time here, I asked the staff many questions on the meals and they gave their fair recommendations. The food was served within a good amount of time and the taste was superb. I'd definitely look forward to dine in this restaurant again. If there was anything negative though, I just found the place a bit dark and gloomy given we dined midday. Perhaps they just need to spruce up the place.

Their tonkatsu is better than Yabu's. Yes, I am for reals. I always go for their Iberico pork and their heavenly salad bar. I am yet to gain the restraint from their Iberico pork and try their other food items, but please, until then, eat their Iberico pork.

After a productive Tuesday, we were enticed by Katsu Sora’s salad bar and unli japanese rice on all of their katsu sets (sorry we were famished!). For starters:👍 Salads from the bar - I tried all the kinds of lettuce in their spread and they seemed fresh to me. I always liked the roasted sesame dressing on any veggie mix (i especially loaded on brocolli, my fave!). 👎 I did not like the pumpkin salad because it tasted a bit sour (not sure if its supposed to be that way). The miso soup was salty too. For mains:👎 For the best seller Iberico Katsudon Set... Sadly, the Iberico was overcooked thus became tough and chewy. Not as what the menu said that its supposed to be butter-like texture (which we highly considered before ordering given the hefty price of P695!).👍 The Salmon Fry (P495) was good. Tasted fresh and soft eventhough its fried. Add a good dash of lime partnered with the mayo dip for the win. (It also good partnered with the lemon cream dressing as dipping sauce from the salad bar!) 👉 On both sets, portion size of the viands need to be improved. Suggest that they deliver the expected textures of the meats. Presentation is ok. Sides:👍 Their Japanese rice were so good - fluffy and moist - that we stuffed ourselves with it (goodbye diet). Have a sip of their house blend hot tea also to help digest these carbs! Overall service and ambiance were ok except for:👎 No one manning the front door - we almost should have not eaten here because there were no one outside to encourage customers to their resto!👎 Faulty card terminal - billing became a hassle because this!
