Katsu City WJ in West Jordan, UT, USA
Whoever is operating the deep fryer here is a straight up genius. They're one of those small restaurants (only 4 tables) with a small menu, but everything they make is done with superb technique. Try the cheese katsu- served in a tenderloin "boat," and the jalapeno bombs (jalapeno stuffed with spicy crab, deep fried) for a texture and flavor bomb. They managed to get 3 distinct textures in the jalapeno with the coating, a firm but biteable pepper, and the softer filling. 4 if you count the sauce. Their pork bulgogi is a newer menu item that has a nice smoky flavor to it. We thought they had gone out of business, because they used to be in Orem, but it turns out they just moved cities. I'd love to see them get some recognition, especially for anyone else who might have missed them.
