Worth it for / Skip if
Worth it for — knowing the bill before you go — the venue publishes S$4 to S$98 a head across the items on record.
Skip if — S$4 a head before drinks is above what the meal is worth to you today; you are going on a Sunday — the verified hours show the venue closed.
Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.
What it costs
The venue publishes S$4 to S$98 across the items on record. Prices are listed before 10% service charge and 9% GST, so the all-in column applies both, in that order, and rounds to the nearest five dollars.
Two people, one item each from the list above, no drinks: budget S$10–S$240 all-in. That is arithmetic on the published prices, not a quoted package.
Subject to prevailing GST and 10% service charge.
Confirm the current price with the venue when you book. Forkin publishes prices only where a dated public source carries them, and flags it when sources disagree. Source: Katsu by Kyu official website embedded menu document. Last checked 19 September 2026.

WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: mediumForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Three countable exact-outlet assessments from independent blogs/sites, including DanielFoodDiary, which states it paid for the meal. Favourable overall, but one source prefers a competing tonkatsu restaurant, so consistency is moderate.

Supersedes an earlier UNRATED assessment dated 2026-08-15; that record's rejected sources were re-checked and remain rejected. Corrected 4 September 2026: this record held the same DanielFoodDiary article as two separate counted citations and declared four countable sources. It holds three, which is what the note above describes.
