About

Papi Katsu is a polarizing spot in Perth. Most diners rave about the high-quality, inventive Japanese dishes and the moody, cool vibe. However, service consistency is a major pain point, with many reports of long waits and disorganized staff. While the Omakase experience is widely praised, some feel the standard menu lacks value. It is a hit for special occasions, but the service hiccups can really sour the mood.

User Feedback

Food is spot on, but the service needs a serious lift.

Great vibe for a date, but don't expect a cheap feed.

The kitchen is talented, but the front-of-house is struggling.
