You can use slice() and split()

var categoryList = "[Service,Ticket,Bill,Entertainment,Restaurant]"
  .slice(1, -1) // get `[` and `]`removed string
  .split(','); // split based on comma to get array

console.log(
  categoryList
)

var yourString = "[Service,Ticket,Bill,Entertainment,Restaurant]"

var categoryList = yourString.substring(1, yourString.length-1).split(",") // removing [] and splitting with `,`

Another short solution using String.match function:

var categoryList="[Service,Ticket,Bill,Entertainment,Restaurant]";
console.log(categoryList.match(/\w+\b/g));  // ["Service", "Ticket", "Bill", "Entertainment", "Restaurant"]
