We've been going to Katana for many years and will continue to go for many more. Service is always good and their food is always fresh and delicious regardless of whether you're dining in or carrying out. We go here a least once a month. My partner and I usually get the Katana special which offers a variety of variety of sashimi, nigiri and roll. I've also tried their other rolls before and they all are delicious! read more

Katana Sushi - Katana Special - Japanese Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

This has got to be the best spot in the Richmond area to get sushi. I don't live close to it, but I've found myself in Midlothian a lot recently and have made sure to grab some delicious sushi from here. First, I want to shoutout the incredibly sweet server I get here each time. I don't know her name, but this spot feels family owned and she is always beyond sweet and attentive. There is a lot of free parking out front and near this spot. It's in a sort of strip mall and can be a little confusing to get to, but if you follow your GPS it should be fine. Dining in or takeout are both great options here. You get your food quickly either way. I love their signature purple rice that comes with the sushi here. I also adore their nigiri choices. On my first visit years ago, I got a very yummy dragon roll. On my last few visits, I've enjoyed their avo salmon roll, white tuna nigiri, scallop nigiri, and miso soup. Their fish is fresh and delicious here. I highly recommend getting sushi here. read more

Lots of seating and it's not too noisy. It also has a good mix of authentic sushi options and Americanized fare. So, if you're someone who likes sushi for sushi's shake you're going to be happy and if you like rice and things that are less adventurous you'll be safe. There are also some Korean options on the menu. If you're snooty about sake you will have comments to make. I'd say order to share and steer away from the fixed meals if you are eating with a party. The una don (eel) is a full meal unto itself. Parking is very easy and there are good coffee choices within walking distance. My only word of warning is that the main road is heavy traffic. If you want to make a left turn, you'll have to be patient (or better yet: take a right then a U turn). read more

Ducked in last night arrived around 6pm. I was seated promptly it was just me, myself and I. Drink, appetizer and dinner order was placed and my appetizers arrived quickly. My fried gyoza were so over fried they were tough and dry. I ordered one set of specialty rolls and one spicy tuna roll. I was less than 1/2 done with my sushi rolls when the waitress came over looking perplexed. So sorry I was told we need to move you! She explained someone forgot they had booked a large party. Well I'm pretty agreeable and was moved to the sushi bar. Just offered apologies but my nice relaxing dinner was interrupted not making me feel happy about the situation. I get that mistakes happen but you could have comped my gyoza or offered me a discount for your mistake. Nothing - I was handed my bill and it crossed my mind to be real cheap with the tip but I didn't. Your webpage says you're rated 31 in the nation and that's how you treat a customer when you move them??? I could have gone to many other restaurants last night. I chose yours but next time maybe not! read more

Service: 5 Stars. The service here is great, it's a well oiled machine in terms of service. Food: 3.5 Stars (what we ordered). The ginger salad was 5 stars. The rolls were 3.5 stars. The crunch tasted of oil that wasn't fresh so I would ask for the crunch to be removed. I think the quality of fish is good so I would probably suggest getting sashimi instead of speciality rolls. Wagyu 4 Stars We also ordered the hot tea (green tea) I think the hot tea is a great addition to the meal. read more

Went there the first time to have a celebratory dinner, and the food did not disappoint, especially the unagi roll! The staff were very nice and friendly. Overall, it was satisfactory. The only thing is that the price seemed a little bit on the high end. With that said, I would still go back if opportunities were present, or try their lunch. read more

Anyone who loves or would like to try sushi should visit Katana. My wife and I first visited them in 2014 and have always had a great experience. Their fish is fresh, service is outstanding, and the ambiance is just right. We moved out of state for a couple years and were stoked to be back near our favorite restaurant when we moved back to VA! read more

Best sushi in Richmond area, and we've tried them all! Extremely clean, fresh fish, nicest staff you'll ever meet. There can be a decent wait after 6pm, and there's not a great area to wait for a table, but it doesn't matter bc at the end of the wait...a sushi masterpiece awaits you. read more

We came here (over 100 miles) because of the high Yelp ratings and we were so happy to make the trip. The shop is small, quaint, very clean and staff is very attentive to your needs explaining the options you have to make sure you get your needs met. We ordered the sashimi and sushi combo which was the freshest in Virginia!!!! The takoyaki was a new delicacy for me but the wife was right, it was so good. The ebi, also top notch and crispy. To finish off the meal a plum wine with mochi. Life is great when you have great food. :) read more

Would you like a side of dirty rubber band with your dish? This is a perfect place to be! I took my family out for dinner not too long ago and found a thick, dirty rubber band inside my sushi deluxe platter rolled up next to picked ginger and sushi. When I notified my server, her unacceptable response ruined my dining experience. First and only comment she made was "oh there is that rubber band my sushi chef lost. He was looking for it".. WTF??? I wanted to be as polite as possible as mistakes do happen, but seriously??? So the guy loses his dirty rubber band while making good behind the counter and doesn't bother to check on the food before they get served? To make matters worse, servers have audacity to act like it is not a big deal and was just happy that I found their lost rubber band? No apologies or explanation of any kind. Before I had the time to take a picture, she rushed to get the rubber band back to its rightful owner. There are other places with cleaner, safer environment where you can enjoy and have a pleasant dining experience. I recommend you stay clear of this place unless you crave for gummy bear with no flavor :) read more

10/10 on the sushi and the gyoza was also yummy. All the fish was super fresh and the rice was very complementary. I recomend the hot tea it pairs great with the sushi. The service was great and so were the vibes. They took us right back to Japan. We will for sure come back again! read more

My daughter enjoyed her roll but I got the Sushi Regular, which is my normal order at sushi restaurants so I can get an assortment of nigiri sushi, but I did not enjoy mine and threw it away. We ordered To Go in the restaurant and waited for it, and the staff were very pleasant and friendly. read more

Heard many good things about this sushi place in Midlothian from the locals! It was a 30-minute drive, which is a bit farther than where we typically go, but the sushi was fresh, delicious, and worth it. I ordered the chirashi sashimi lunch special, which came with a soup and salad. There was a decent assortment of fish and each type had 3 slices, which is generous compared to most other places. My friend ordered the Melvin roll (spicy tuna and cucumber topped with salmon, tuna, spicy mayo, and eel sauce) and toro power roll (chopped toro topped with seared toro, poke sauce, scallion). The portion size was great; there were 10 pieces of the Melvin roll and 8 pieces of the toro power roll (one of their specials). Service was super friendly and the atmosphere wasn't too loud. Honestly, would come here more often if it were closer. read more

My wife and I love the whole energy of Katana. It's very calming. During the holidays they'll have downbeat piano/Christmas music playing softly. The waiters are attentive, but not demanding. The tone of conversation is friendly and relatively quiet. And I have to say the sushi is some of the best in the Richmond area. Even though it's inconvenient we will drive out to midlo to get this sushi over closer spots. Portions are large and the fish is quality. Sometimes if I order a tuna special the chef will throw in some fattier tuna to try. Fantastic. Cucumber salad is gr and my wife and I tried to deduce what the dressing was made with. It's still a mystery, but it's delightfully acidic and sweet. This place feels like a family. I hope it continues to do its thing as long as possible. read more

Only been once but our experience was phenomenal. Service was great, sushi came out very quickly and was delicious. Very convenient location - awesome to not have to go downtown for quality food. We will be back many more times. read more

So far from my experience and research, this is the best sushi restaurant for fish quality and selection in the Richmond area. I'm posting a picture of the specials board and please look that over -- there are varieties of prized fish you will not see at other sushi spots: aji, chu-toro and o-toro, quality uni, bronzini, hamachi belly! For the most part this place delivered on my excitement when viewing the menu. Hamachi belly was a standout, but generally all of the sushi fish was succulent and distinct in flavor. Of course I would love if they had real wasabi. My main disappointment is the rice. They use black/purple rice due to it being more nutritious, which is a great idea, but something about it was lacking in terms of texture (nigiri and maki fall apart easily) and taste (could use more rice vinegar). Also there is a chef's omakase! It looks like a great deal for omakase at around $45 and I'm looking forward to retuning just for that. What to order: at least 3-4 items from the specials board & one of the sushi dinners (Regular, Deluxe etc.) read more

Katana deserves recognition for their kind wait staff, easy atmosphere, and excellent sushi. We are usually seated without wait though we've walked into a busy Friday night on more than one occasion. Tonight we waited about 5 minutes which was great for a full house. Sushi rolls and sashimi are consistently fresh and delicious. Their rolls are inventive which balances nicely with the traditional cuts of fish and other specials that appear frequently on their whiteboard. The o'toro, calamari, and aji are very good if you find yourself on a night where they're available. Katana is the best sushi experience around. read more
