Katsuya

Decided to treat ourselves by making a reservation here and were blown away by the food. Perfect portions that leave just enough room for dessert! The wagyu gyoza was absolutely mouthwatering and a group favorite that night. Everything was delicious and we would definitely come again!

Katsuya is a fantastic fine dinning sushi restaurant. There are several in Los Angeles, this one is our favorite. It is usually not too crowded, but they do take reservations if you want. I would do that for a weekend night.

It is large and spotless. It is also beautiful. The service is uncompared and they know the menu so well, they can give you ideas and help you. There is a sushi bar if you want to sit there and the chefs are wonderful.

The whole atmosphere is welcoming and calm. You will be greeted the moment you get there. The servers check on you and you can order all at once or just keep ordering. There is not a bad dish there. We have been enough to know the menu well. They are kid friendly, my grandson loves this place. Be careful letting them order, you will be broke when they are done.

They have the best sushi, all fresh and wonderful and they will make it any way you want. They also have the best lobster tempura in town. The side dishes are all great and we love all the rice dishes. Try their BBQ pork over rice. It is so great.

You will love this place.

I had a really great time at katsuya. I went there with a couple friends and we had some amazing drinks and amazing sushi. Super friendly. Very warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is very nice. It was a little expensive overall but it was good quality sushi. I would recommend checking it out if you want some great sushi downtown and I would love to come back.

Yes, it is very expensive! However, the quality of the food is like no other. My husband and I couldn’t believe how delicious everything we ordered was, including the cocktails. Service was great as well. We sat outside on the comfy couches and had a nice view of LA live while eating.

I love sushi, and this place has good rolls. It might be a little on pricier side, but the quality is good. I never tried anything other than sushi here, that’s the plan for next visit though!

I recommend the beef dumplings and Brussel sprouts under the apps. You can’t go wrong with any of the specialty sushi options. Reservations required. Service was somewhat slow but the Lakers play the Warriors across the street in an hour & it’s packed.

Went before a kings game. Luckily we had a reservation and had a good dinner. Beware it can get very crowded so best to plan a reservation. The food and service was great. Brussel sprouts were the best

Atmosphere is really nice, we ate on the patio to see the folks ice skating. The food was good, I felt there wasn't a lot of options on the rolls, but the food is fresh and the drinks are fun. I was not a fan of the hand rolls. Our server was dope and helped with food and drink suggestions

Judging on food taste and whether or not if there is a positive quality to price ratio this location, and every Katsuya I have been to, is worth it. They have a lot of options and are priced the same as many other sushi restaurants aside from the obvious excepted markup due to the location. With that being said because it’s attached to LA Live and next to the Convention Arena and Crypto the crowd dining around you is determined by what’s going on that night. If there’s a concert there will be more formally dressed diners as well as more adults. Tonight because of the NFL experience there were a lot of families.

I started off the meal with the Yellowtail Jalapeño and even though it was expensive at $24 it was really tasty. For my entrée I chose the premium Moriawase, which is a chef’s selection of nigiri plus one sushi roll. Everything was delicious and again slightly expensive but I expected that when I made the reservation.

Overall it was great quality seafood and I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of sushi especially if you are at or near LA Live or South Park.

At Katsuya LIVE, I ordered the Premium Sushi Moriawase. This is a chef’s combination of premium nigiri and rolls, at $55. I was served a nice selection of 10 pieces of nigiri and 8 pieces of toro maki.

It does seem like most items on the menu are highly priced, given the location of the restaurant. However, I was satisfied with my serving of sushi. The maki rolls are mostly filler, but are also tasty. The quality of the fish in the nigiri was quite tasty, with every piece being satisfactory. The ikura salmon roe was perhaps my favorite item of the dish.

I also tried out the brussel sprouts and chicken karage. The chicken was nothing to write home about, but the brussel sprouts were perhaps the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. And I am not that big a fan of brussel sprouts, but the way they were baked and salted gave them a crispy almost chip like texture, which was very unique and delicious.

The restaurant also has a unique choice of decoration. There are various robots painted gold used as decoration around the restaurant, including robot dinosaurs and various gundam figures.

Amazing experience. I was afraid to go because busy restaurants trigger my anxiety yet the hostess was so accommodating and chose the perfect table for us.

Thank her and our waiter Fernando we had an incredible catch up with my friends after 10 years of not seeing them. Plus the food was amazing and the waiter know the menu so well that he was able to help us with our food selections effortlessly.

We came here on a Tuesday night after having a few failed dinner plans at other sushi restaurants. We were seated immediately and waiter William was quick to take our orders and our food was served quickly. We were seated, served, and finished our food within 40 minutes. Great service. And the food was delicious

From the service to the food everything was excellent! Sushi was fresh and so tasty. Our waiter / bar attender was super helpful and nice. Would definitely go back! Especially for the octopus and fabulous drinks!

Came here to wait until my place in line got called at the Yard House and never left! I was seated within 5 minutes. The staff was really nice and Mike our waiter was really attentive.The sushi here is freaking fabulous! Everything was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming here in the very near future.

Not normally a sushi fan but this was beyond delicious. Worth every penny 100%.

Great drinks and food, and made even better by Taylor and Carlos. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar if you can, delightful servers with hilarious jokes. Make a mean cocktail too

Had a super solid time at this restaurant tonight. Came in with some friends and had some drinks and food, got the tomahawk shortrib. Our server Ashley told us it was great and she was so right, big ups for her. 10/10 will definitely come back.

We made a reservation in advance and good thing we did! They were quite busy but the hosts and servers were very kind and accommodating.

We ordered quite a bit, and we enjoyed every bit of it. I even ordered additional nigiri sushi orders! The food was phenomenal, along with the vibe, cleanliness of the restaurant + bathroom and service. I also love that they had a sushi bar in the middle, which gives it an authentic feel for me. It was modern, but still had some traditional twists that I appreciated as a former Japan resident. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

What we ordered:
-Aged New York Strip (which we shared)
-Nigiri sushi orders
-Premium sushi moriwase
-Tuna tataki (not thick cut like authentic tataki. More like a carpaccio but still delicious)
-Rolls (I forget which my friends ordered haha)

Awesome experience. The lobster tempura was amazing. Great Toro also. And the double spicy tuna roll was delicious. Ashley was a great Server that. I’d absolutely recommend

my family and i went tonight before the game and the server ashley we had was absolutely amazing!! she knew we had a game to catch so she made sure to get us in and out so we were able to make the game in time!! thank you again ashley!!
