I had the loveliest experience at Katsuya! I had the short rib and I definitely will be coming back for it. Our server Quan was the sweetest gentleman - ask for him when dining in! Such a great vibe. read more

Heaven!!! I love this place. Helpful when ordering great recommendations!!! Best part.. they have a patio and were kind enough to allow me to carry my small dog in and dine in the patio area. read more

A regular here since it's close to my office. Usually not packed and easy to make reservations. Casa Dani and Katsuya are sort of connected so make sure you go to the right restaurant! Memorable dishes from my last visit: Katsuya roll, Smoked Salmon roll (favorite), rock shrimp. The branzino wasn't bad, but it is definitely small. I liked that they cut it up into pieces to make sharing easier. If you're planning on getting this and only this, I'd highly suggest you order more stuff or you'll leave hungry. Their yuzu paloma is pretty good, wasn't too impressed by their Kyoto sour. Easy parking, 90 min free (no validation at the restaurant) read more

had such an incredible experience at Katsuya, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server, Quan. From the moment we sat down, his energy was warm, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. He really knew the menu inside and out--every recommendation he made was spot on. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and truly wants guests to have the best experience possible. What stood out most was how effortless he made everything feel. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and his vibe honestly elevated the whole dining experience. It's rare to come across someone who blends professionalism with such great personality. Because of Quan, I'm not only looking forward to coming back--I'll definitely be asking for him again. Highly recommend! read more

This review is for the bar at Katsuya only. We stopped in for a drink after shopping. The interior is large, open, dramatic and beautiful. The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, which are industrial and huge, and really add to the ambience. Seating areas include a sushi bar, a regular bar, and tables. We sat at the bar and the bartender who waited on us was very nice and made a mean old fashioned. We ended up trying a Katsuya Roll and it was fresh but the flavor was just ok. Will come back another time to try the full dinner menu, and also to try Casa Dani which is owned by the same company and is attached to Katauya. read more

Beautiful location in Century City mall that took over one of the marquee locations in the area. You walk into a completely zen and modern space with very friendly and helpful staff. We walked in without a reservation at about 5:30 on a Sunday and were able to grab a spot at the bar but by the time we left it was packed! We ordered several items - katsuya is known for their tuna crispy rice but we tried the salmon crispy which was good but I think I like the tuna better. We also ordered the cucumber salad which was refreshing. The star of the night though was the miso cod with nicely grilled broccolini. Really nicely prepared and tasty. Also had some good mocktails as well! read more

Beautiful, spacious restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere - it feels upscale but still comfortable. We ordered the salmon, black cod, baked crab roll, and crispy tuna rice, and every single dish was excellent. The fish tasted incredibly fresh. Service was just as impressive as the food. Staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Overall, a fantastic dining experience great food, great ambiance, and great service. Definitely a place we'd come back to. read more

Finally made it to their new location in Century City. I give this place a 3 1/2 stars at best, we were literally the first customers and the whole restaurant. The restaurant is huge! I will have to say the service was not optimal, very mediocre service. It was on a Sunday day after Valentine's Day. Their food was also just OK very mediocre. Nothing like what Katsuya used to be like. But the prices have definitely gone up, but the service and quality of food has really gone down. They do also charge a lovely "wellness of extra 5%" to the Bill to help offset the servers or I should say the employees medical benefit benefits. Hate this! But we still left 20% so essentially you're leaving 25% on a hefty bill. With such a huge restaurant organization, this should be their responsibilities go take care of their employees and not the customers. Will be our last time I will be going there. Food: Appetizers- * seaweed salad- good, typical of any Japanese restaurant * hamachi & Serrano- very good not fishy * spicy tuna over crispy rice - they add butter to it so it had a funky taste * Shishido peppers- spicy little guys! More than usual and I like spice! * avocado and cucumber roll EntréeS: shared with the table) * A5 fried rice- did not like, don't bother, very bland and salty flavored $50 something dish (sent back) * short ribs- very tender and taste pretty good just too much sauce for my liking. Kind of miss on the side something vinegar to cut the richness of the dish. * Katsuya roll- interesting but would not think this was their signature roll.., wasn't anything special. * some sushi - fresh Dessert- * mochi donuts- pretty good chewy morsels. Overall dining wasn't something I would drive far for. I drove over an hr to get here. Not much food for 3 but we left full and bill over $300. read more

FINALLLLYY got to try Katsuya. Everyone hypes it up & now i understand why. You will have such a good time. The Yellowtail is so fresh, layered with sprouts & jalepeno The Bluefin is just so tasty you definitely need to order it. However, the spicy tuna crunchy rice was surprisingly mid & needed a sauce or something for more flavor. Food aside, the vibes are upbeat, classy, & picture perfect. read more

So happy this place opened here! I love coming for lunch and getting their signature lunch special. Nothing can beat that. The spicy tuna rice cracker is one of the best that I've ever tasted, the baked crab roll is so delicious, and all the other sashimi that come with it. They have the best iced green tea and the ambiance is very nice. Just a gorgeous restaurant. And definitely my favorite restaurant in the Century City mall. read more

I had such a great experience at Katsuya in Century City. The space is absolutely beautiful. The design and lighting make it feel really special the moment you walk in. Perfect for date night! My favorite thing on the menu is the crab rolls. I honestly could eat them for an entire meal. I crave them all the time. I usually go to the Katsuya Hollywood location, so it was fun to visit this one in Century City and see how stunning it is. I have noticed they have been doing some construction at the Hollywood location lately. Does anyone know if it is opening again or anytime soon? I cannot wait for it to reopen. I also love how the Hollywood location has a DJ. read more

Katsuya - Donuts and matcha ice cream. Make sure to save room for these!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by Katsuya for lunch over the weekend, and it is such a cool vibe. They have a couple of different lunch specials that I think are a good deal. My husband ordered the signature, which are their most popular items at half a portion, and I ordered an albacore onion and black miso cod, which was so good and tender. Our server was super nice! Food comes out relatively quick, but give the cod a few extra minutes. I think this is a great spot for a date or a group of friends. read more

Katsuya is my favorite Japanese / Asian fusion restaurant, this new location didn't disappoint. We came in for some drinks and snack before our dinner at Casa Dani next door. These two restaurants share the same space actually. Both are gorgeous and spacious. The bar and lounge area of Katsuya is outdoor, the heater was too warm for me! We tried a couple grey goose and Vesper martinis, also blistered shishito peppers to snack on. Our bartender was so accommodating that he pulled Grey Goose vodka out for us. Our bar time was very relaxing with great martinis. We will come back soon for a full meal at this new Katsuya! read more

I haven't been to Katsuya in years and this was my first time at the Century City location. The lunch pre fixe menu was pretty good. It came with miso soup and I chose the miso cod entree and yellowtail. We had a large party and some dished were missed, so I think service was overall pretty mid. My broccolini was pretty fibrous but otherwise my food was great. Love the ambiance as it's very different from the other locations. read more

Katsuya - Miso Black Cod - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had a great time at Katsuya. We were seated right away and we ordered some mint tea and club soda to start. The tea was delicious and you get an entire pot per person. Our waitress was very attentive and brought our large food order out as soon as the food came out. We had miso soup, eggplant, bluefin tuna tataki, the spicy tuna crispy rice, the karai roll, a yellowtail roll, the Katsuya roll, sushi moriawase, the branzino, A5 wagyu fried rice, and the yuzu kosho king salmon. The food was all delicious, and I enjoyed each dish. The A5 wagyu fried rice was so flavorful it reminded me of a paella and was one of our favorite dishes. Our waitress did a great job helping us with customizations as well, some people could not eat jalapeno and they were able to make the crispy rice with spicy tuna without the Jalepeno. Also one person preferred no green onion in his miso soup and they were able to make the soup without that item as well. This was a great experience and I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food and great service. read more

Food is ok. Atmosphere is very spacious, modern with high ceilings. We visits on a relatively slow weekday evening but the service was concerning. The bucket to hold wine had a poor foundation and it kept swinging everytime waitress handled the wine bottle. We were almost served wrong food meant for other table while our food was delayed/almost forgotten. The drinks that we ordered at the same time as food came when we were done with food. They didnt come around to refill water. The worst part is that they charged 20% gratuity plus 5% "wellness fee" lol. Their menu specifies 20% gratuity for parties of 8 or more but we had 6 ppl read more

Katsuya in Century City operates with the kind of precision, restraint, and quiet confidence that you only see in kitchens where standards are not just upheld; they are internalized. From the moment we sat down, it was clear that this wasn't going to be a typical dining experience. There is a rhythm to great restaurants, an unspoken cadence between the kitchen and the floor, and Katsuya executes that rhythm flawlessly. Every plate that left the pass felt intentional. Not just composed for visual appeal, but engineered for balance; temperature, texture, acidity, fat, and seasoning all working in alignment. You can tell when a kitchen respects its ingredients, and here, nothing is overworked or masked. The fish speaks for itself. The rice is treated with care. Even the smallest garnishes feel considered rather than decorative. It's the kind of execution that reflects discipline at every level of the brigade. What elevated the experience even further was the service, specifically our server, Delilah. In high-level dining, service should feel invisible yet ever-present, and she embodied that perfectly. Her timing was exact without ever feeling rushed, her knowledge of the menu was sharp and confident, and her ability to read the table was exceptional. She understood when to engage and when to step back, which is a skill that cannot be taught easily; it comes from experience and genuine attentiveness. There's a level of professionalism she carried that mirrors what you'd expect from a seasoned chef running a line. Everything she did had purpose. Nothing felt scripted or forced. Recommendations were thoughtful, not upsells. Plates arrived seamlessly. Water glasses never sat empty. It's that level of awareness that separates good service from elite service. What stood out most, though, was the consistency across the entire operation. It's one thing for a restaurant to have great food or great service, but to have both operating at a high level simultaneously, without any breakdown in execution, is rare. Katsuya doesn't just meet expectations; it controls the experience from start to finish. In an industry where many establishments rely on hype or aesthetics, this place relies on craftsmanship. It's disciplined, it's polished, and it's deliberate. The kind of restaurant that reminds you what hospitality is supposed to feel like when every moving part is aligned. Simply put, the service was unmatched, the execution was flawless, and Delilah delivered a level of hospitality that reflects the very best of the industry. read more

I had the best experience here! The restaurant is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was spectacular. Really, what more could you want?! My friend and I split the salmon sashimi, cucumber sunomono, miso black cod, and spicy tuna crispy rice. All were immensely flavorful -- I LOVED the cod, but all four were absolutely worth getting. I also had the espresso martini and it was perfect. It was my friend's birthday and we got the chocolate lava cake which was INSANE. They also surprised us with mochi! All in all a fabulous experience. Would definitely come back! read more

Katsuya in Century City is stunning, expansive, high-ceilinged, and beautifully designed. It has that polished, modern energy that immediately sets the tone. We stopped in for cocktails and a few appetizers before our reservation at Casa Dani, and the experience was excellent. Service at the bar was especially impressive; Ari, our bartender, was attentive, personable, and crafted truly exceptional cocktails. We ordered the Wagyu dumplings, which were outstanding; rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The truffle-powdered Wagyu slices were another highlight: tender, aromatic, and melt-in-your-mouth. The Salmon Hamachi with Japanese pear was bright, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, light yet full of flavor. We also had Uni and Toro sushi (two pieces each), both phenomenal. Silky, fresh, and rich with that deep, clean ocean flavor that only high-quality fish delivers. I enjoyed the experience so much that I went back for lunch later that week. I ordered their signature lunch set, and it was absolutely the right call. An assortment of different bites, all delicious, served quickly, and at a great value. Highly recommend it if you're in the area during lunchtime. Overall, Katsuya at Century City is definitely worth a visit, whether for a quick lunch, cocktails and appetizers, or a full dinner. Consistently great food, excellent service, and a beautiful space. read more

We had dinner at Katsuya in Century City and thought it was "fine" overall. The food was good and our server was attentive, but the pacing of the meal was off - dishes didn't come out together, and a few people were finished while others were still waiting. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, so that was a little disappointing. That said, it's a comfortable, modern space with plenty of seating. Prices are on the high side, but it's Westfield Century City - I'm sure the rent is astronomical. Not a bad experience, just not quite as polished as you'd expect at this price point. read more

Katsuya Century City Katsuya's got this grand vibe that I absolutely loved! Those massive lights hanging from the vaulted ceiling were a total eye-catcher. Plus, the multiple kitchen setups were a blast, showing off their versatility. Top things I enjoyed: the crispy rice, tempura, chirashi, and sweet potato. Their sushi was fantastic, just like I expected. The service was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I also liked that we could order from Casa Dani, the restaurant next door! It was a great way to enjoy a different theme at the same table. read more

Katsuya was renovated from a previous pan-Asian restaurant in the space and they've retained some of the wonderful design elements that make it feel like an experience; stunning high ceilings, gorgeous, enormous light fixtures and a sense of expansiveness. Our first visit, and some of the food was truly delicious. Whoever is helming the kitchen knows what they're doing. Standouts were the fresh, translucent yellowtail jalapeño, cucumber sunomono (this dish can often be basic but here, it was full of unusual flavor accents) and the light, airy Brussel sprouts. The sushi (two types of nigiri and a specialty roll) was fresh, but just ok; an order of crispy rice spicy tuna was not crispy and could have used more seasoning. Best dish of the night, hands down, was an order of the mochi donuts; hot, fresh and ethereal, with three dipping sauces. A real treat! Shout out to Peggy, who assisted us during the evening and is a stellar presence; if she's not management level, she should be, as she's a credit to the place. Our waiter Cameren was also friendly, well-informed about the dishes and seemed to really enjoy his job. Both of them contributed to a very pleasant evening! We enjoyed our special dinner at Katsuya and will certainly return. read more

Yes! Stopped off here while when we picked our son at school (small little college down the street ). Went in to grab some lunch, we were looking for something fresh and not too heavy. Unfortunately, it took us a little bit to get through the maze of the parking structure and mall (all the shiny objects in the windows don't help) to get to the restaurant. Made it in and were right away greeted by the hostesses. They asked if we had reservations, but turns out not necessary here... We grabbed a seat at the sushi bar. There were 3 of us and seating worked out fine. This place is pretty open and "airy" was comfortable weather for a CA 70-ish degree day. Seemed like a cool go to spot for local business people grabbing lunch (and a few people trying to look important (I'm just having fun, breath )... Any way grabbed a couple lunch sushi platters and a stir fried rice... was exactly what we were looking for...seemed fresh and light. Unfortunately, no cocktails (were tempted), had a busy rest of the day. I would recommend eating here, and probably even hanging if you have more than a lunch window to chill. Also, make sure you grab a seat in front of the sushi chef, Liam...and if you can't sit near him at least give him a shout and that the LB Loan Guy said "What's Up?" read more

This new Katsuya restaurant is located inside of the century city mall. It's a beautiful, open, and well-lit space. Our server was very kind to us, along with all other staff members. With this aside, there were a few issues with our experience. For starters, we were told to walk ourselves to the bar by the hostess, which we didn't mind doing, except for when we got to the bar a man in a suit (I'm assuming a manager) was confused as to why we were sitting down and didn't have much sympathy for when we explained we were instructed to do so. The actual pacing of the meal was inconsistent. All of our appetizers came out very quickly but then the main dishes took much longer. There was a 15 minute gap in between my sister's entree and mine. We were comped with a free dessert, which was nice. We both enjoyed the food but agreed we wouldn't return until the restaurant developed a better flow and higher service quality. read more

Finally made it to Katsuya in Century City. I LOVE the ambiance here, especially the high ceilings. We had their lychee martinis (one of the best I've ever had) their rock shrimp (I thought this was ok) their Karai roll (also a favorite) the blue fin (SO good) and the branzino which was cooked in a very different way compared to other places. Of course I can't forget the salty edamame starter. Food was great, the service was lovely, and deff looking forward to being back! Cheers! read more

We visited Katsuya for lunch on Saturday and walked in without a reservation. We waited about 15 minutes for a table. According to our server, the restaurant had only been open for about three weeks. I really loved the open layout and high ceilings, featuring huge bell-style ceiling lights and a stylish bar. The atmosphere was very relaxed and chill. The food exceeded my expectations. I tried the Power Lunch Prix Fixe ($38), which includes miso soup and a choice of one appetizer and one main course. For the appetizer, I picked the Yellowtail Jalapeño, which was fresh and flavorful. The Miso Black Cod as the main was delicious and perfectly cooked! The Wagyu New York 10oz ($56) was also amazing--tender and packed with flavor. The Katsuya Roll ($25) was good, and the Spicy Edamame ($11) was full of flavor. For dessert, we ordered The Orange ($16)--fantastic in both presentation and taste! A must-try. The Kakigōri ($16) was also good. The service was great! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The only downside was that the air conditioning didn't feel very cool--we're not sure why. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Katsuya and will definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

For some reason, I ended up on the Westfield Century City email list so when I read that Casa Dani/Katsuya finally opened in the previous Rock Sugar space, I was looking forward to checking them out. Visible from Santa Monica Blvd., the entrance is directly across from Javier's. You're welcomed by a host/hostess, and then guided to either Katsuya or hook a left to Casa Dani. Due to the time that I arrived, only the Garden Bar was open for business while in between lunch and dinner hours. There is no happy hour at this time, but they do have limited offerings on small plates. I chose the wrong day to visit though due to it being the hottest day that we've had in a while, and once you look up, you realize the Garden Bar area is an open-air space. The bar itself was very hot to the touch, and I felt bad for the bartender who was out there in long sleeves and a vest. Thankfully the sun wasn't beaming directly at the bar (anymore), but it sure felt like it. Restrooms were through the doors to the left, and are unisex. Luis at the bar was great! He was very informative with all of my questions and if he didn't know, he found out from someone else. The only thing I wanted on that limited menu was crispy rice but with avocado, but only the spicy tuna was listed. It didn't hurt to ask, and this substitution was no issue. Compared to other places where I've had this item, the four pieces were tiny. Avocado slices were fresh, and to be honest, I've had better rice cakes elsewhere. However, it was still enjoyable and I finished this off within minutes. Presented with my check, they do the 5% wellness surcharge which can be removed, and he was happy to do so. This was a first for Century City mall but this restaurant happens to be under the sbe company which most likely explains why. Explored Casa Dani since they were opened by the time I left and it was A LOT cooler since they're located indoors. Looked nice in here, so I look forward to trying them as well. I almost second guessed staying due to the heat and limited menu during my time there (3p-5p), but overall I'm glad I did. read more

Katsuya - Avocado crispy rice at the Garden Bar, $19 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On a whim craving sushi my husband and I decided to check out the new katsuya in the century city mall. I mistakingly made a reservation at the Brentwood location. Upon arrival they didn't have my reservation in the system but they were nice enough to squeeze us in on a busy Friday night.. I've been waiting for the opening of this location for what seems like years. And boy is this restaurant impressive and worth the wait. The interior is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous high ceilings, beautiful finishes, stunning outdoor patio and a beautiful sushi bar. I've been to all the other katsuya locations. From the fanciest to the hole in the wall casual spots. My expectations were low, but I was extremely impressed by this new katsuya. The menu was super creative and unique. They had several new menu items, but still kept their og signature dishes. We decided to be adventurous and try some new items. I loved the wagyu crispy rice and the wagyu tataki. The meat was buttery and literally melts in your mouth. And you can't go wrong with the katsuya signatures, yellowtail jalapeño, albacore sashimi with crispy onions, the spicy tuna cut roll with shrimp tempura. But the real stand out of the night, even more than the food, was the outstanding service by our server Alex. I've never seen someone so happy to be at work. He had the most amazing energy and he really made the experience enjoyable. Definitely look forward to coming back and ask to be seated in Alex's section. read more

I came here during their first week and it was so busy and the servers were all over the place but everyone was so nice, professional and friendly. This is a brand new opening so I can understand when there are some hiccups in timing or food being subpar but I actually had an amazing time!! The food delivery was amazing. The only problem we had was drinks took a very long time. Maybe 30 min to an hour wait? And we even sent a drink back bc it wasn't what we expected or tasted bland. But It's okay because we knew everyone was new and working out kinks. Management came by and explained/ apologized. We got new drinks! It all worked out. Delilah was our server and she was very acknowledged in the food menu, she gave us her faves and timed our meal perfectly! Her and Vivian were spectacular! Thank you to both! We really enjoyed our time because the energy was uplifting, the food presentation was excellent and the vibes were there! Also shoutout to the chefs who were hand delivering certain items and saying hello to the tables. This is what I like to see. The salmon and cod was sooooo good! The orange dessert was amazing. Also the king crab legs wow! Maybe some patients and thorough communication is all you need for a perfect dining experience! read more

Katsuya never feels like it's trying too hard, and that's exactly why it works. The space is dim, stylish, and energetic without being chaotic, making it just as good for a low-key dinner as it is for a night out. The service is polished and attentive but not overbearing, which matters at a place this busy. The food is consistently solid. The sushi is fresh and clean with well-balanced rice that doesn't overpower the fish. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is the obvious favorite for a reason, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The miso black cod is buttery and rich without being too sweet, and even the simpler rolls are done thoughtfully rather than feeling like filler menu items. Portions are reasonable, plating is beautiful, and everything comes out with good timing. It's one of those places you can bring someone from out of town and feel confident it will deliver. You know what you're getting, and it almost always lives up to the expectation. Trendy without being gimmicky, reliable without being boring, Katsuya earns its reputation as a go-to Japanese spot in Los Angeles read more
