Love this place for a traditional girls night or even treating myself to lunch. The salmon with caviar, the popcorn shrimp, and the alborcore with crispy onions.

I love all the Katsuya locations I've visited but this one is usually the best. Fish quality is always just a bit better than the other locations. I had a few of my normal dishes today and I'm not sure if it was me or just the fact that they were particularly on point today... what im trying to say is that it was gd delicious.

Ok. So I don't normally give all 5 in all honesty. This place is very tasty couldn't get photos of everything we had because it was that good!! If you are in the area and a looking for top quality sushi then you have found the place this the second location I have been too. I highly recommend this business. Toby our sever was an absolute saint, he was so professional and willing to go out of the way to make our experience the best it can be. Everything's ng was on point. This isn't that big of an issue but we ordered shoshito peppers and they were spicier then a serrano, but Toby was able to help by finding something that wasn't trying to murder my mouth. So go have some fun and eat some great quality !!!!!

The place has been consistent for the past 20 years and for as long as I can remember. Everything is fresh and tastes good. The service is good and atmosphere is typical Japanese restaurant nothing crazy or extra. Great place for friends family or date

Katsu-ya offers exceptional service and premium sushi. The albacore garlic and crispy onion sashimi was exceptionally tender and flavorful, while the toro was fresh and expertly sliced. The restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere and welcoming ambiance attract a loyal customer base.

Amazing first experience here. In a non-descript building that was a surprise, very low key outside, then you walk in and it's bustling with activity. From the reception that greet you to the wait staff roating in constantly checking if you need something. Our waiter (Hector) was very clear and accommodating to my partners specific prohibitions with some ingredients. Nothing seemed to flustered him. The menu offered some unique items, like the spicy Tuna on a small square of crispy rice. Very creative and yummy. The kitchen was full of chefs bustling creating some amazing dished. The miso marinated cod was great as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Busy place but they're always on point. Great once a month sushi restaurant. The selected nigiri is such a great deal it's like $22 and you get 10 PCs of chefs choice sushi + cali roll and a soup and a salad. Can't beat that with a bat. Quality is always on point. Servers are all super nice and attentive. If you have allergies the staff is super helpful with accommodations. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Have to mention the parking (which has nothing to do with the restaurant) I would recommend street parking or anywhere but that back parking lot. Parking staff is a nightmare and overpriced.
