    Met some friends for dinner the other night at Katana. The restaurant was never on my radar, but was brought to my attention and had to try it out. First, the ambiance. Just wonderful, inside and out. From the patio atmosphere to the indoor dim lighting providing that romantic mood, Katana oozes vibe. Also, on the patio, a live DJ keeping you entertained. We sat outside, on the patio, and started with drinks. The Tropical Hibiscus has a tequila base with passion fruit, lime, coconut and pomegranate. You don't really get the passion fruit flavor you're looking for, but the drink was still refreshing. The Matcha Miruku Sour is great to look at initially, with the Ube foam on top, and the cocktail has a whiskey base with pineapple, coconut and matcha. You get that matcha flavor on the middle notes while the Ube hits first, but it was all very balanced. The lychee Martini was also tasty, no complaints. For food, we started with two rolls, the Katana and the White Lotus. The katana comes with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura topped with tuna, yellowtail and spicy mayo. The white lotus consists of shrimp tempura, avocado and asparagus topped with albacore, crispy onions, wasabi truffle soy. The white lotus was more flavorful, between the two. The chicken fried rice was pretty basic, while the wagyu skewers were cooked well, juicy with good seasoning. For entrees, the wagyu short rib was seasoned well but felt a little overcooked and really didn't stand out. The wagyu chimichurri was also decent but didn't leave a lasting impression either, while the fillet comes precut, cooked at the temperature you desire. Mine was rare, as I ordered, while another at the table also ordered a filet, rare, but it came more medium. And eating mashed potatoes with chopsticks was a first for me, but we managed. Overall, great ambiance inside and out, with staff who are very attentive. Drinks are tasty and the sushi rolls worked, as did those skewers. The entrees felt like they just missed the mark, unfortunately.

    Katana still really is that girl. My friends and I came to celebrate and this restaurant did not disappoint. From service to ambience to food and drinks everything checked the box and the vibe. We had a mix of drinks the drinks are strong, but delicious. The sushi is very fresh and full of flavor. We decided to go to Omakase route and we were able to dine on the chefs most popular pieces since this was the first time for most of us choosing the Omakase route was perfect. It was such a beautiful night. There was a live DJ who was playing great house music and everyone around was beautiful and there to enjoy a wonderful evening. I would not recommend anyone bring their children. It does not appear to be very family friendly so leave the kiddos at home for this one.

    The staff here is so nice, so easy to talk to and they offer amazing menu items to try. This restaurant is Japanese family style, so we had so much fun sharing everything. The beef skewers were a favorite, they also had so many vegan items to accommodate for lent. The drinks were sweet the sunkissed mocktail had a unique sweet and tangy taste that reminded me of a flower. And the best part is that this comes with an amazing view!

    My husband is a big foodie and has been to Katana with friends and co-workers while on work trips in California (we live in Washington) many times. Him and his friends even joked about catching a flight just to have Katana's big fish... it's that good. I finally got to experience it myself when we were visiting California on a family trip and we were able to bring my parents as well. I understand the hype, everything was amazing, expecially the big fish! Not only was it delicious but a lovely presentation and made the meal a fun experience. We got the Big Fish (of course!), some sushi, short ribs, fried rice & green beans to share, everything was very tasty! Can't wait to go back!

    This is located close to where i live so I've walked and driven by it numerous times. Too many to count. Each time, I was always intrigued, but never bothered dropping by. Bad timing. At night, it always looked so magical with all the lights on. Me and a friend walked over from Greystone. Our original destination ended up being a bust so my friend made a quick resy then we proceeded to mosey over. We were so giddy walking up them steps facing Sunset. It's so dreamy up there specially with the lights on. The sun had just set as we got seated outside so the view from our table was pretty magical. Sirens be damned lol. DJ did a great job explaining everything to us as first timers. We ended up opting for the classic feast menu which honestly was the perfect amount of food. We were able to try a little bit of everything. From beginning to end, our dinner was exceptional. In all ways. The guy who dropped off our dishes had the best personality. Shame on me for not getting his name. He was so lovely. He had a different joke every single time he came over. Had me loling. DJ was attentive and had the best energy. He did such a great job taking care of us. Food wise, the highlights for me were: Tuna sashimi which was the first dish we were served. The presentation was sexy and my palate was awoken. That citrus base was wow. Sushi selection. It was a LOT. Truthfully, I didn't think we'd be given that much after all the meats. Can't pick which was best because they were all winners. Electric Koi cocktail - hands down the best drink I've had this year and it's only February. Another 10/10 on the presentation. I tapped out after2 cocktails. S/O to the bartender for making strong drinks. Thank you Team Katana for a lovely experience. We've clearly been missing out. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes with the rest of our familia.

    Bombbbbb!! Best experience, from the food to the service to the ambiance. Everything was 10/10. Special shout out to our server DJ & the manager Christian for taking special care of us and making our night so special. The food was epic 10/10!!! We had a whole feast!! Their patio is really amazing, good vibes- esp with the dj! We can't wait to come back and have an amazing dining experience again.

    Right in the heart of West Hollywood. Valet parking is available below the building which is also private residence They do a lot of take out. The food is visually appealing and played well for large parties. The sushi was not unique. We had a tough time telling the difference between them. Robata (skewers) were delicious as was the calamari. Service was quite good also

    One of the best lychee martinis in town. Very smooth and not overly sweet. The sushi was also amazing. I got the tuna jalapeño roll which easily became my favorite roll in town as well. The service was fast and pleasant even though it was Valentine's Day. I loved the dim lighting as well. I would love to come again

    The Big Fish

    One of my favorite HOT SPOT in Los Angeles!! I've been here several times, and I must say they never disappoint. The service is TOP NOTCH; friendly attentive staff, and quick delivery! Very trendy atmosphere, however it's a lil dark inside. Everyone is dressed classy, and having a great time. Food is 10/10 serving up the best sushi, vegetables, desserts, and drinks! Although, I come for the Big Fish Special..It's a must try! I highly recommend Katana it's a LA Staple!

    Have not been here in awhile. Decided to take my sister here for her birthday and we had a blast. Always good good and a good time.

    Salmon sashimi and my own made up roll . It was a simple avocado and cucumber maki roll with some salmon eggs on top.

    We are not local and stumbled upon this place since it was near The Sun Rose. It was delicious and unique. Our server was the best and we were able to eat so many unique options. The best being the toro sashimi with shaved truffle and parm cheese. It was a 100/10.

    The chocolate cake with raspberry YUM

    Beautiful decor inside and outside when you first walk in. It is a bit upscale so dress nicely beforehand if possible. We had reservations for a group the night before and sat inside. That was lovely the next night it was just my friend and I and we sat on their outside patio. There's lights everywhere and you have a beautiful view of West Hollywood's Sunset strip. Both nights we were warmly greeted by our hosts and servers with immaculate service to match the fun boujee decor and environment! Everyone was lovely. The food was SO good. we had a little bit of everything the first night but one thing that was my favorite was their lobster bites with the caviar on top of them. It was the perfect balance. To top all of their delicious food off they had a DECEDENT chocolate cake which I had to take a pic of after everything was devoured. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

    The DJ on Saturday really set the tone of the night. Mostly came for the vibes and good sushi and it was just that. Everything we tried was pretty good, but just pretty good. What I enjoyed most is that they did not rush us. We continued to order as the night carried on and Shaina was very gracious about it. We tried the DINE LA menu which ends August 8th. It comes with yellowtail serrano, spicy tuna, shrimp wrapped with bacon skeweres (that we subbed for sea bass skewer because of the bacon), chicken meatballs, aged ribeye skewer, tuna, salmon, albacore, and a white lotus roll. We also additionally ordered mackerel nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, green beans, uni, hirame, and toro. And had a couple of cocktails that were ok. Oh, our favorite was the seafood ceviche!! We didn't order it but got to try it and liked it a lot. Probably the best thing we ate.

    We sat inside and loved the music. The castle look of the restaurant, vibe and view makes the outside gorgeous so next time we will dine outside at night.

    What would be a total price range for party of two?

    Totally depends on what you order but I would say starters range from $10-20, sushi rolls range from $18-30 and poultry/seafood/steak are served in the form of individual skewers and range from $10-30.… Read more

The place was nearly empty, yet service was slow. My 'Rich Man's Roll' tasted fishy, sashimi was bland, and I actually had to ask for salt at a sushi restaurant. Then a waiter placed a dirty napkin directly on my dish while I was eating and accused me of throwing it at him when I removed it. Completely false and unacceptable. What's worse is the manager/owner, who has spent years greeting me with hugs and asking about my son, suddenly couldn't be bothered. She sat at the bar eating, didn't come over, and I had to track her down myself only to be told she'd "check the camera." That's when it clicked the friendly relationship was completely phony. When it actually mattered, there was no accountability or care. Plenty of better sushi spots out there. Don't waste your time or money here.

Well, since I eat out nearly every night, I know exactly when my bill feels a little too high. I paid it anyway thinking maybe I'm adding it up wrong and I also added the tip. I either hit the 20% or the 22% I can't remember but bare minimum I hit 20% cause that's the lowest I ever go thinking, hey something's off here. We'll come back to that. Your bill is presented on a Squareup POS machine but the screen only shows you the total. I had it email me an itemized receipt because the total seemed just a little high. Once we walked out of the restaurant, I waited and waited and waited. It took TWO hours for the receipt to show up in my inbox. Once you open the email, it still won't show you an itemized receipt because it says it's processing it. It is working to build you an itemized receipt to be viewable. I kept going back to the email over and over again throughout the day trying to get it to show me the receipt. It took until the next morning for the itemized receipt to finally show up and there it was just like I suspected a 16% "Azai fee" had been added onto the bill. It doesn't stop there. They TAX you on your total PLUS their fee! They're taxing you on the fee THEY added. Now if you want to add in your own gratuity for the server, absolutely fine, all day long, but you have to say that, show that, and print that. The fact that it is an "Azai fee" and not listed as a gratuity makes it shady like the owner is just pocketing this. Also if you look at the photo, it's not even calculating the tip percentage correctly. 20% minimum of that total should have been $21 and change. The two stars are for the woman who made our sushi. Won't be back.

We had an rsvp but wasn't busy when we arrived. Was sat immediately and served water. They have a pretty extensive menu of most things you'd find at a sushi cut roll spot. We ended up ordering the toro garlic toast, veggie tempura, ginza roll, and several pieces of nigiri sushi. The toro garlic toast was pretty good - sort of like a spicy tuna crispy rice situation ... but a little fattier and more garlicky than crispy. The ginza roll was pretty good too - a lot of fish in the roll and wasn't overwhelming with too much sauce. The tempura was good too- not super oily and all your typical veg involved. The nigiri sushi were pretty well prepared. The size was pretty good for the price - and each were accompanied by a small garnish on top or a little bit of sauce brushed on. All in all - I wouldn't say it's a date night place, but is a good easy eats sushi spot for rolls and nigiri for the price. Would recommend!
