After hearing mixed reviews finally went there last night for my birthday with my friends. Best of the best. 1. My friend mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday when she made the reservations, and with no reminders the staff made my b-day special. 2. Rob the waiter was just one of a kind. Polite, fun, and professional. Thank you Rob!!! 3. Amazing food. Anything we ordered was fresh and delicious! 4. Entertainment was so much fun. Great dancing, great music selection and it was sooo much fun. 5. I have heard a lot how this place is overpriced, however it is just like any other famous restaurant plus you get the amazing entertainment. Overall a 10+ experience and we sure will be back!!!! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. In my opinion, the management should seriously evaluate its customer service standards and staff professionalism. I made a reservation for four people and arrived on time with my family. Upon arrival, the host showed us the main dining area, which was full of guests, and explained that all guests would be seated there that evening. However, instead of seating us in that section, he placed us in a separate area on the side of the restaurant that was completely empty except for my family. If you have visited this restaurant before, you will likely understand the area I am referring to. Unfortunately, our table was located directly in front of the kitchen, where there was a significant amount of smoke and an unpleasant odor. I was dining with two small children, and they began coughing because of the smoke. At that moment, I felt as though we were being treated differently from the other guests and that our comfort was not a priority. I politely asked if it would be possible to move to another table and explained that I had children with me who were uncomfortable in that location. The host responded rudely and stated that he had already told me it was not possible. His dismissive attitude was surprising and unprofessional. As a result, we decided to leave the restaurant. What disappointed me even more was that no one seemed concerned about our experience. No apology was offered, and no one even acknowledged our departure or wished us a good evening. Looking back, I am glad we chose not to stay. Considering the restaurant's high prices, I would have expected much better service and hospitality. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. If you value respectful customer service and want to feel welcomed as a guest, you may want to consider other dining options read more

First time eating here. I do have to say it's a beautiful place with good entertainment. My friend and I ordered vegan appetizers and two glasses of wine. I understand how expensive everything is nowadays, but my biggest shock was that they wouldn't serve us tap water. They make you buy bottled water. Eight dollars a piece. Never have I been denied tap water in any restaurant in Los Angeles! The service was not the best. It looks like they were too busy taking care of the big groups while my party of two was basically ignored. And then, when a tip was not left, they had the audacity to question why? Tips are earned not expected!!! read more

What a place. First off, it's very high end, and for good reason. The food is top notch quality and the service is beyond exceptional. We got the tuna tartare, bone marrow and oysters to start. Everything was exquisite. I was drinking wine and by the time the night was over, I was two bottles in. I mean they kept pouring so my cup was never half full lol. It was great though. (I think) I ordered the lamb chops and as far as I can remember at this point, I enjoyed it. As well as the young lady singing. The entertainment was just great. Overall we had such a blast. Food, drinks, service was nothing shy of amazing. Will definitely be back:) read more

What a lovely experience! I've been to the Yerevan location about 2 years ago and this one is exactly the same! Service was wonderful and attentive. The singer was great and the performances were also really entertaining. I'm not a big fan of a lot of loud music at restaurants, but this place had a great balance. Venue was beautiful, amazing decor, you could tell the detail that went into this place. Food was great, some things were better than others, but we didn't have anything that was awful. I think for the location, the they are over charge, this is Glendale not Beverly Hills or Malibu lol. I definitely think they need to tone down their prices because for this rate I could go to so many other restaurants that are nicer, in better location, and less expensive. read more

Used to love this place. The quality has dropped completely. No class. Surprised at the owners. Don't come here on a Sunday.

I discovered Katsin after seeing it featured on Heyla, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment you walk in, the space feels stylish, energetic, and welcoming. It's the kind of place that immediately sets the tone for a great night. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, especially the charcoal oven specialties and the seafood. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and the kitchen really knows what it's doing. The appetizers were perfect for sharing, and the desserts were just as impressive as the main courses. The service was attentive and professional, and the overall atmosphere made the experience feel special rather than rushed. It's not just a restaurant, it's a full evening experience with great vibes and attention to detail. If you're looking for a place in Glendale that combines fine dining with an unforgettable atmosphere, Katsin is a must visit. Seeing it on Heyla definitely convinced me, and I'm glad it did. read more

The ambiance is amazing. Live singer - waiters and waitresses dancing. So fun and festive. The food was good. It is not cheap but worth the experience. read more

Amazing food amazing place the best i had in Los Angeles special thanks to the waiter Hayk thank you so much!!

We had a great experience at Katsin! The service was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. We made a reservation, so we were seated right away with no wait, which made the experience even better. The hookah was excellent and lasted a long time, and the mimosas were delicious. Overall, everything was smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! read more

It's a fun place. We went when they had a show singer and dancers. Food was fine. We ordered the giant bbq and seafood platters for groups since there were at least 10 of us. I'm more unhappy with the dining companions who said they were done with the platters rather than asking it to be packed to go. So much food and $$$ wasted since it's not cheap. read more

I had a reservation for six people on 7/27 a Sunday night. Less than 24 hours before our reservation, I received a call from the restaurant informing me they were experiencing plumbing issues and would be closed for dinner service. While disappointing, I understood--until the next day. To my surprise, when I passed by the restaurant that evening, I saw people gathering outside. Out of curiosity, I called the restaurant from a different number and asked if they had live entertainment that night. The response? "We're closed for a private event." So now it's not just a last-minute cancellation--it's a lie. They chose to cancel my confirmed reservation to accommodate a private party and decided not to be honest about it. That's incredibly unprofessional and reflects poorly on the restaurant's integrity. What makes it worse is that when booking, you're required to provide a credit card and are charged a fee if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance. But when they cancel on you last minute--with no compensation or accountability--you're just left hanging. Restaurants like this rely on customer trust and loyalty. After this experience, I will not be returning, and I strongly caution others to think twice before booking here. read more

As soon as my husband and I walked in, we noticed the interior of the restaurant was so pretty. The ambiance is great for a date night or to chill with friends for a special occasion. Around 8pm there's a live singer singing classic pop music while servers perform a dance show. Our server was also really quick and attentive to our requests. Overall the food was really delicious, and the portions were good. We started with heirloom tomato salad and salmon caviar recommended to us by our server. It was honestly a hefty portion, for 2 people and almost got full before our entrees. The tomatoes were fresh and sweet and paired well with the cheese and tangy sauce. I would recommend getting the salmon tartare. It was a big portion and the salmon was seasoned really well with a type of ponzu sauce and there was a perfectly creamy avocado underneath. The free pita chips were a bit stale to my liking but were really good with the salmon tartare. When we ordered the lobster mash potatoes I wasn't expecting a whole lobster tail, but it was so soft and juicy. The steak was cooked well. My favorite entree was the octopus, it was soft and the sauce and sides paired well with it. Although I was stuffed, I devoured the chocolate cake cause it was delicious. Will be coming back with my parents hopefully soon :) read more

It was a fantastic experience! Katsin is just around the corner from our place & we've all been curious about it. My husband & I, together with some friends, decided to celebrate the September celebrants' birthdays at Katsin last night & we enjoyed it so much. There was some mix-up with the food but, overall, it was an amazing night. The entertainment was something! The food was delicious! Our server was very attentive & nice. Knowing we're celebrating several people's birthdays, he offered us the dessert tower. But we were with some young adults so we opted for the drinks tower. And what a fun & fantastic arrangement! Katsin is, indeed, one of those places you have to experience. I've already told my daughter that she should try it with her boyfriend. read more

I lovedddd Katsin! So far I've been here twice once for my husband's bday and once for my dads. Both times i had lamb which is rare for me because i dont like the gamey flavor but both times i loveddddd it! It was fun also because they had a show and boy was that cool to see! read more

I came here when it first opened the venue was OK but I recently just came back again because it's so beautiful and the entertainment is so fun and I realize they changed the menu and it's so much better. Everything is so delicious. read more

Beautiful restaurant to hang out by the bar and have some drinks but the food and customer service is nothing special!

My friends and I visited Katsin to celebrate a Birthday for their Sunday Brunch. The Ambiance there is really nice. The place was packed everyone looked to be having a great time. After about 10 minutes our table was ready and we were seated. The first thing I noticed after being seated was the music was too loud and they couldn't turn it down for some reason. It was so loud the waiter was hollering to get our orders. The waiter and servers were nice however, it took us about 30 minutes to receive our drinks. They had hookah as well. It was $150 and came with on spout. Finally another 30 minutes after receiving our drinks the waiter came back to take our orders. He later returned to disclose that they were out of chicken and shrimp. Now I believe the owners a Persian throwing a brunch catered to Black folks. They obviously didn't do their homework cause how could they ever run out of chicken and shrimp. So everyone at the table who ordered shrimp or chicken chose another brunch item. Mine you the menu is very small, not much to choose from. We waited another 40 minutes and still no food. We decided to leave and as we're leaving I see the waiter coming out with food. We decided as we had already been at the restaurant for 2 hrs. The vibe was cool but I would definitely eat before going, cause the service was ridiculous. read more

First of all, the food and entertainment was awesome. My groups server was attentive enough. My problem with this place is that we were there celebrating a birthday. We weren't the only table celebrating a birthday this evening, but we were the only black group there. That being said, the servers all sang happy birthday to all the other tables celebrating but did not do that for us. Was it because of our skin color? I don't want to think that, but we did spend over $600 on dinner. We could have gotten the same treatment as the rest of the guests. With that, I would NEVER recommend this place to any of my friends because they are black and I would not want my friends to experience this level of discrimination ever. - Hello Andre, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I understand you're trying to offer some context for what happened during our visit. However, from our perspective, it was clear that the majority of tables celebrating birthdays, regardless of party size, received some form of birthday recognition or celebration. This included smaller two-person tables as well as larger parties. We made it known multiple times that we were celebrating a birthday: during the reservation, upon arrival, and again in person to the staff. At no point were we told that an additional charge was required to receive birthday acknowledgment. We would have paid extra just to make the night that more special for my girlfriend choosing this place over others to celebrate her birthday. What made our experience particularly disappointing is that we ordered a $150 dessert tower, significantly more than what others ordered, yet we were the only birthday party that evening who received no acknowledgment or celebration from the staff. To be clear, our issue isn't with the show or special presentation given to large groups. Our concern is that every other birthday party, including smaller ones, received recognition except ours. That lack of consistency made us feel overlooked and undervalued as guests. read more

Beautiful interior of the restaurant and fun entertainment. The service was attentive. The food was ok, nothing stood out. Some dishes/drinks were presented nicely (see videos). The drinks may have been the highlight. read more

Very unhappy with the Service and the waiters are very rude. I've never left a review like this before, but I cannot express my disdain for this establishment enough. I will never dine here again, and I strongly advise others to avoid it if you value your time and basic customer service. read more

Very delicious and uniquely prepared food, I recommend a branzino with a tarragon sauce or Moroccan octopus, don't forget a moutabal dip and Katsin heirloom tomatoes. Excellent service, special thanks to Hayk, our waiter, for his suggestions, explanation and a sense of humor. Well designed venue and + entertainment. read more

We went here to celebrate my cousins birthday. There was a lot of hype about this place and we wanted to give it a try. The place is set under an apartment building and is nicely designed inside. The valet is on the side street so you have to walk around the short block to enter the restaurant. As we entered the restaurant there was an armed security guard which was interesting. Made me think if we need to be concerned or if it was required in this area. We were seated in a corner up against the wall near the restroom and seamed a big hidden. That said we were hungry and ordered almost everything on the menu since we were a large group. Sad to say the food was disappointing. We were hoping for some traditional flavors and the dishes were not that at all. The best thing on the menu was the red caviar. As we moved to the desert, we decided to get the desert tower as we were a big group and wanted the birthday to shine. That said, it was so disappointing that nothing on that tower was any good. For $150 you got like 6-8 small desert pieces that were disappointing. Glendale has one of the best pasteries so this was so surprising. I hope they change the pastry selections and food menu. The fun part to the night was the music but it was very short: after a fun 30 minutes of dancing music the music was turned down to slow songs. It was a buzz kill. Sadly, I would not go back. I really wanted to like this place but sadly that was not the case. I would give them 3 1/2 stars since the service was good but nothing there is no option for that. read more

We had a great time at this restaurant. Not only is the entertainment amazing but the food is great too! I suggest going around 7:30 bc the entertainment starts around then and ask them to seat you closer to the end of the restaurant bc most of the entertainment is there and it's a more private section for you to get up and dance. read more

We went on a Friday night with our girl gang and had a blast! The food, service and entertainment were excellent. Loved the live entertainment and the dancing waiters. The drink tree and dessert show were unique. Frobel took care of us all night. read more

I came across Katsin Restaurant and Dining Bar on a Heyla video and had to check it out, and it did not disappoint. Located in Glendale, this place delivers a lively, upscale dining experience that feels more like a night out than just dinner. The atmosphere is stylish, vibrant, and full of energy, with live music and entertainment that really sets the tone for the night. The food is where Katsin truly shines. The global fusion menu is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients. The grilled lamb chops were perfectly cooked with a charcoal-kissed flavor, and the wagyu steak was rich, tender, and full of depth. Dishes like the grilled branzino and slow-cooked beef cheeks show real attention to flavor and presentation. Service was attentive and fun, with unique touches like dancing waiters that made the experience feel celebratory and unforgettable. With a full bar, smart-casual dress code, and an energetic crowd, Katsin is perfect for date nights, birthdays, or large group celebrations. If you're looking for great food, entertainment, and a vibrant vibe all in one place, this spot is absolutely worth the visit. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. It definitely is worth the hype. Service was spectacular along with the food and entertainment. We had such a good night. It wasn't just a dinner. We enjoyed delicious food and cocktails (so bomb), and danced the night away! Can't wait to go back again. read more

My friends and I had great fun at this wonderful fancy restaurant Katsin. The wonderful dancing group of the waiters lifted our spirits immediately. Our wonderful waiter Ivan "enveloped" us with his care and excellent service! Ivan professionally told us in detail about the culinary masterpieces of the restaurant Katsin and charmed our entire friendly company. Many thanks to the management of the restaurant and personally to the waiter Ivan for a wonderful evening, concert and dance program and excellent service! read more

I made reservations a week in advance of Valentine's Day. I got a call the day after I made reservations telling me to pay $35 entry fee per person, or the reservations will be cancelled. I ask, what do you get for the fee? Is it simply a cover charge? Yes. It just allows you entrance. FU. No thanks. And, that leaves me one day less to make alternate plans. Thanks, jerks. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this review. My family and I spent our Thanksgiving dinner at Katsin. My husband is usually in charge of picking restaurants, and he usually does a great job at choosing where we go. Katsin was such a vibe, and the ambiance exceeded our expectations! The servers and performers had high, positive energy. Our server's name is Frobel and he is such a sweetheart, he had a very genuine and humble energy and approach to him. He was extremely attentive, helpful, and overall amazing! He made our experience comfortable, easy, and wonderful (wonderful is what my 8 year old son emphasized). We are so thankful for Frobel's help and for making our Thanksgiving experience at Katsin a phenomenal one. The food was delicious! We started with appetizers and had the Beef Tartare with Bone Marrow 9/10, Tuna Tartare 10/10, and the Katsin Appetizer Large Set to Share 8/10. The Katsin Appetizer is mostly dips. For the meals the kiddos had Mac and cheese, fries and my son had the Atlantic Salmon Fillet. My son rated the salmon a 10/10 lol! My husband and father in law both had the lamb chops 9/10 and the Moroccan Octopus 10/10. The rest of our family and I had different meals, but this review will never end if I name what the rest of us had. Overall food was delicious, good portion, and good quality! I do want to mention the $114 whisky my father in law had.... I'm sure it was top tier and tasty. Overall, we would highly recommend Katsin if you are out for a good time! This place would be great to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion. Get ready to dance, sing and enjoy the moment. What a beautiful restaurant! Cheers, and thank you again Frobel! Before I go, this place is also good for families with kids! Our kiddos had such a good time and everyone was happy. My son rates the restaurant a 9/10! read more

Our server Forbel was very kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Andre was also very nice, helpful, and welcoming throughout our visit. The staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be coming back again! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: I'm not usually the petty type, but after what I experienced, I had to change my review. Initially put a 4/5 star review for this restaurant after one of the workers came up to the table and asked us to leave a review, emphasizing that we can rate whatever we'd like. After leaving the table he came back and asked for me by name and asked me to change the review to 5/5, which had me at a loss for words and it is disheartening because now I come to believe all the 5 star reviews this restaurant has are not genuine. What a shame. Previous review: Atmosphere is great, food is amazing, just didn't like that sometimes you couldn't hear the person next to you while talking but I guess that's the point of the restaurant is to see the performance. Our waiters were amazing though! read more
