WOW, our 1st time here, the food & service were off the charts, and we'll definitely be back. The flavors and sauces were incredible, my son ordered most of the food, so I can't tell you exactly what we ate. The popcorn shrimp was amazing, the cut rolls were absolutely delicious, and everything was tremendous. This ain't your parents' sushi bar, it's very upscale and expensive.
Only thing that left a bad taste was the 5% LA surcharge, which the restaurant owner passes their employees' health care onto their customers. Elections have consequences.

Haven't been here in a while with my family, and this time, the experience wasn't the best as far as sitting and lighting, that is why I gave the atmosphere such a low rating. We were here for my daughters 29th birthday. They put our party of 8 1/2 in a dark corner with super dem lighting. I had to use my Samsung S22 to light up 🔦 the table for us to read the menu. 😆 Don't get me wrong, the service was outstanding as before. Thanks to Jeewon, the server, and others. The food was amazing, I totally recommended the fried rice with wagyu. The sushi 🍣 is delicious 😋. The picture is a burning mandarin 🍸🔥.
Went for a special dinner and the food did not disappoint. We had the tasting menu, hreat selection. The service was very good and polite, explained the menu and items very well. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good sushi place
Katsuya has to be amongst the best Japanese restaurants in the Los Angeles area! Definitely on the pricier side but totally worth it. The sashimi was crazy smooth and delicious. The Tuna with wonton crisps was amazing. The oysters were next level, a flavor profile beyond any oyster I've ever had. Unexplainable!
The food is very good, and about what you’d expect for the price, but it’s hard to get a good selection if you’re eating solo. As a couple or small group you’d have more choice without breaking the bank.
Service on arrival made me think I should’ve reserved, before I was taken into an empty restaurant on a Sunday night. Unnecessarily stand-offish.
I had a seat at the kitchen which added to some of the atmosphere but tempered by the cold welcome.

Chose to come here for my birthday dinner. The restaurant was very nice and dimly lit. The staff was very kind and patient. The food came out swiftly and everything was enough to share. The food was hot and seasoned well. There were some additional Taxes that the wait staff explained the reasoning without my table even asking. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. At the end a staff even took our picture. I would definitely come back when I am in town.
I absolutely love Katsuya! I’ve been there countless times, and I have to say, you’re paying more for the atmosphere. If you’re looking for something a little cheaper and more laid-back, I highly recommend The Little IZAKA-YA by KATSU-YA and The ZAKA-YA by KATSU-YA. The food is jsut as fantastic (if not better) and the prices are much more reasonable. Back to Katsuya… While I do enjoy the main dishes, the appetizers are the real star of the show. My go-to appetizers are the spicy tuna crispy rice, popcorn shrimp, yellowtail jalapeño, albacore with crispy onions, baked crab handroll, crispy brussels sprouts, and shishito peppers. As for mains, I can’t get enough of the nigiri (it’s super fresh but sadly doesn’t come with wasabi on the inside), sashimi, Miso Cod, Whole Tai Snapper, and fried rice. Overall, I’m counting down the days until I can go back and indulge in all my favorites at Katsuya.
I ate here with my family before we went to a musical next door at the Pantages. I’ve been here several times and they never disappoint. We started with baked crab hand rolls, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and crispy brussels sprouts. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone. My daughters loved the hand rolls and crispy Brussels sprouts, but weren’t fans of the spicy tuna on the crispy rice. The crispy rice is highly dependent on the jalapeño to balance the flavor, so if you don’t like spicy food, it might not be for you. I highly recommend all of them. I just wish the hand rolls were a bit larger.
My daughters had the miso soup and enjoyed it.
Afterwards, we had the corn crunch rolls, Katsuya roll, and shrimp tempura roll. I’m not a fan of the Katsuya roll, but it’s okay. The other rolls were very good. The aioli sauce on the corn crunch is delicious.
They are very good at making sure to get your food out quickly if they know you need to make a show time.
