Founded in Seattle in 2011, Katsu Burger Opens a New Chapter in Santa Clara, CA

We’re excited to share that Katsu Burger is opening a new location in Santa Clara, California.

Founded in Seattle in 2011, Katsu Burger has built its name by blending Japanese comfort food with bold American flavors. What started as a love for crispy, satisfying katsu has grown into a signature Japanese fusion burger experience — and now, that journey continues in California.

Our Roots: Seattle, 2011

Katsu Burger was born from a simple idea:take the comforting flavors of Japanese katsu and pair them with the creativity and size of an American burger.

From miso-seasoned, hand-formed patties to golden panko-fried perfection, every item on our menu reflects a commitment to quality, balance, and flavor — without overcomplicating what makes comfort food great.

More Than Burgers — Sides Worth the Spotlight

At our Santa Clara location, you’ll find more than just our signature Katsu burgers.

Crispy Shoestring FriesLightly sea-salted and perfectly crisp, with umami seasoning options including curry, nori, or our signature 12-spice blend.
KorokkeA classic Japanese croquette — crispy on the outside, creamy and comforting on the inside.
Banzai BitesKaraage-style, snackable bites with your choice of chicken, pork, or a mix of both.Crispy, fun, and impossible to stop eating.

Each side is made to complement your meal — or shine on its own.
