Such a solid sushi spot in the valley. We had the miso cod and 4 1/2 roll today, along with the salmon entree and crispy rice. Have been here a few times with my family and it's a great restaurant. Service is always quick and friendly!! Restaurant is on the smaller side but feels welcoming and comfortable. Prices are very fair for the quality and portion sizes. Reservations over the phone only, I believe! read more

There's something about this Katsu-ya ... it's just not as appealing as Woodland Hills, Century City or Encino. Perhaps it's the presentation of the dishes, perhaps it's the taste, or the ambiance, or the service... it just isn't as "nice" as you'd expect from the Katsu-ya brand. The last time I came (and probably the last time I ever will), my friend described it as "lived in" and "a little worn out." Unfortunately, I would agree. Also, we asked for several modifications due to allergies and they basically said there are no guarantees and seemed so annoyed to even have to deal with it... another thing that we don't experience at their other locations. As a plus, there's free parking in the shared lot. read more

Okay.. i had placed a take out order. They told me that they were out of sweet shrimp and only had "live shrimp", which costs $18 for 2pcs of sushi order. I said fine. Came home and opened up the food, This is what i got for $18 sushi order. Pretty disappointed. read more

Nice little spot in Northridge next to CSUN. They opened up the outside seating area so we were able to be seated right away. Food and service were great, although there was some minor mixup with our food everything was correctly promptly. I especially liked the chirashi, all the sashimi was fresh and buttery. Minor complaint on the Uni though it tasted a bit bitter. read more

Had a nice dinner here at Katsu-ya in Northridge... our server Sawa was so kind & friendly, she was honestly the highlight of our entire dining experience. All the sushi we tried was fresh & delightful, but at the price point, the portions are quite small. It's a pretty expensive spot, and the inside is cozy & very traditional. Not much space so I'd recommend a reservation because spots fill up quick, even on weeknights. I'd consider coming back again when I'm in the mood for a more elevated sushi experience. read more

Made a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table. The service is always so friendly and welcoming, however at times it can be a little bit of wait depending on how busy it is, but I don't mind. The food is always great and the fish is fresh. The place is small but cozy and it's always an enjoyable time here. read more

Sushi Katsu-ya is always a great experience. The salmon belly was super buttery, the salmon with caviar and tuna were really fresh, and the uni was sweet and creamy. Service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance is relaxed but lively, which makes it a nice spot to sit at the bar and enjoy sushi. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We visited on a Friday night and got seated right away. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and take reservations. The service was excellent, everyone was super attentive and welcoming. Our server recommended the Northridge Roll (not on the menu), and it was really good, highly recommend trying it! There's a shared parking lot that can get a bit crowded since there are multiple businesses in the plaza, but you can usually find a spot. We ordered crispy rice and three sushi rolls, all were good! read more

Great Chirashi Bowl at this spot for just $23. They start you off with a steaming bowl of miso soup and their delicious small salad and then arrives the main attraction, with a variety of sashimi, all of it very very fresh. The sashimi is accompanied by delicious rice with nori strips and some pickles. I also like to add a cut roll or 2 afterwards. Today I went with spicy tuna cut roll as well as spicy shrimp cut roll in soy paper. Both were phenomenal. Katsuya is generally known for good quality fish and today too, it did not disappoint. The ambiance here is good vibes for sure and the service is definitely friendly and solid. Will definitely be back again! . read more

Sushi was okay. I liked the albacore special roll with the onion crunch on it. Not photographed is 4 1/2 Roll which was nothing special and fell flat to me and the salmon avocado which didn't really have that much salmon. The spicy tuna also didn't feel like it had enough within the sushi. Space was clean and the service was great though. read more

The food was great the yellowtail was not that good but the salmon was, it's pretty packed inside but we were immediately seated at the bar and our orders came fast but it took forever to get our check cus the ladies were making mistakes. Otherwise the chefs and cutters at the bar were nice and quick and attentive specifically the two Hispanic men who were rolling the hand rolls. Inside is small but cute. read more

Katsuya is a small sushi spot in Northridge that we love visiting. The sushi is always fresh, consistent, and served in great portions. There is definitely a wait most of the time, so be prepared or make reservations in advance. We also love catering from Katsuya for family events--it's a fantastic option to start with sushi as an appetizer before the main meal. read more

Finally came true for us. After all the years of searching for the best sushi with good value, we came to terms that Katsuya is overall the best. Friendly service, classic sushi ambiance, special unique creations exclusively served. We had some issues with them in the past but looking at the big picture, we overlooked. Best appetizer sashimi's, unique signature rolls. read more

The food is horrible. We went to Northridge with a group of people and ordered 6 spicy tuna crispy rice. Asked for extra crispy. It came out all soggy and cold. We complained to the waiter and the manager. The waiter and the manager were not very helpful. Also ordered albacore and crispy onion and it was half the size and tasted frozen. This restaurant is not what it used to be. The cut the portions in half and charge more. Very disappointed read more

We had the best experience in Katsu-ya: even though it was very busy - all we ordered was coming back to back in order we wanted it to, all was so exquisitely fresh and artistically presented, the service was outstanding!!! Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys great atmosphere and outstanding quality food. read more

This spot is crowded all the time and I can definitely see why! The fish is fresh, the staff is very kind, and the roll combinations are delicious! My favorite item has got to be the spicy tuna crispy rice! I love how soft the rice is! The sushi rolls are perfect bite size and a great way to try a variety of rolls! Casual ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating, and despite the crowds, service is swift in getting you seated! read more

First time here a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi. The restaurant itself is a small place which makes the wait time a little bit longer. But it's worth the weight in my opinion. I love, traditional sushi restaurants because I feel that I can have different type of sushi and not be so full so quick. The rice to fish ratio was perfect. All the rolls are delicious and the service itself was really great. My friend and I waited for about 30 minutes on a Friday night for two which wasn't bad considering that the restaurant was full and there was a lot of people waiting. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you want traditional sushi. read more

I have been going to this Katsuya for many years and have never left a review! This is my go to sushi spot. The fish is always fresh! The place is small so try to get there early. The Uni is always fresh or they won't serve it. It is very casual. Which I like. The service is good although don't expect everyone's food to come out together, if you know this ahead of time just expect it and be surprised the times that everyone's food comes together . We accept this because we prefer to have our fish the second it is ready! Thank you Katsuya for your years of service and being my family's favorite sushi spot! read more

Came for lunch with my wife. It was her birthday and she was so happy. We were here just for a simple lunch as we are celebrating her birthday with my kids later that day. We ordered their pan fried fish and the tempura meal and it didn't disappoint. It was like eating in a fine dining restaurant with an affordable price. They were so good! The plating is excellent and you can tell how fresh their food is. The staff are really nice and friendly. They are very attentive and really make sure you're dining experience is something to remember. Place is small but very clean and organized. Parking is not a problem. Great japanese restaurant! read more

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 4 If you're craving sushi and looking for a spot without having to venture to some high end sushi spot that's gonna cost you an arm and a leg, katsu ya is my go to! It's got a great selection of fish and other options too. All the sushi I got hit the spot, wish they had more Japanese beer selection but still solid. Service here is 5 star just like those high end sushi restaurants, the servers here are Just as good. Atmosphere here is great, nice and casual, a decent first date spot for sure. Parking is another thing, it's in a strip mall style spot and parking can get hard because they're sharing the lot with a few other restaurants and businesses. Overall this is one of my go to sushi spots, and worth it especially on your wallet with inflation these days read more

Our go-to sushi spot--always fresh, delicious, and consistent. The staff is so kind, especially Jesus, who always takes great care of us. A true neighborhood favorite. We love the sitting area outside :) read more

Katsuya if nothing else is consistent. This is a great location but beware - the parking lot can be packed at times and the wait might be long. Going around lunch time is your best bet. I ordered a bento box to go and it was delicious and a steal! So many different types of fish and it was delicious and still fresh when I picked it up You can order from them through DoorDash and UberEats but you can also order directly with them! The restaurant is cute and quaint. It used to be an incredible sushi place called Kabuki, but after the owners changed it, it became katsuya. The restaurant still has that small family feel to it. read more

Favorite sushi spot 10/10! Nothing has topped this location. This location has nothing on the other locations. The servers and chefs are amazing. My go to order is the katsuya plate: I recommend if you don't know what to order and want to try a little bit of everything! So good!! This plate feeds 2. 10/10 Crispy onion: 10/10 sooooo delicious! I recommend Winter albacore: was not expecting it to be warm but it just melts in your mouth. 10/10 Other things I've tried and didn't like: Lobster dynamite: 3/10 do not recommend. Was served cold and lacked taste and actual lobster. Was disappointed This is a crowded place but the vibes are great! Servers are attentive and nice. I keep coming back! read more

Very unassuming restaurant at a strip mall with fabulous authentic Japanese food. It's a little cramped inside, but that adds to the experience in this case. The service is kind and very attentive. They have a small outside dining area, just a couple of tables, but it helps. read more

Parking here at All Times is Absolutely Atrocious. There's a few great restaurants in this lot that I've tried so I get It. Came here for lunch with my wife and son. We were seated and assisted quickly. We had a few dishes. I'll be honest there was nothing memorable as far as the food. Only thing that was pretty cool was my Spider Roll looked like it had two Spiders on each end. The service was excellent. Our server was on point. The ambience is great. Loved the decor. But I came for the food. Again, I wasn't blown away. Unfortunately, with a name like Katsuya I had very high expectations. They didn't meet them, unfortunately. I'd recommend them, of course. read more

This is my go to spot for sushi when ordering to go. They package everything neatly and it tastes delicious at home as well. I prefer getting it through an ordering app because the parking lot gets full here. Parking isn't always easy or convenient and it's also right next to Csun so that prolly doesn't help the situation but the sushi is good. read more

Still our go-to sushi spot. Seated at the bar for the first time, and the level of service is unbeatable. Sensei helped us and asked whether or not we want ginger/wasabi and will prep it in front of us. Aiden, our server, was also super friendly and helpful. On 11/21/24 around 7:30ish, was especially hungry, and ordered: - Nabeyaki Udon $13: hearty, and perfect for a cold night. Affordable too! - Honey hand roll $8: tasty, would get again. - Winter Albacore Sashimi $19.80: this wasn't my fave, so I wouldn't get again. SO Got the Una Don at $16.80. Still one of his faves. read more

Friendly service. The restaurant interior was small so we chose to sit outside. The chicken teriyaki was well cooked and not dry. The veggies on the side could've been seasoned more as they tasted like they needed salt. The Cajun salmon roll didn't really taste like Cajun but still had good flavor and the soy paper was a nice touch. It felt healthier and not as heavy. The sauce on the side reminded us of a spicy garlic aioli. The shrimp and vegetable tempura was good portion and filling--great to share. We enjoyed our lunch here. Thanks for the experience ! read more

3.5/5 - food 10/5 - service 5/5 - price 5/5 - ambiance The sushi is good here for the price! It wasn't the best sushi I tasted but it wasn't the worse. My friends and I definitely enjoyed the place. The place was clean and we got seated right away! The main thing I wanted to point out is their customer service. Their customer service was extraordinary. We came up to visit my sister and we settled on this place because my sister said it's always packed and we are sushi lovers! What we did not realize, was they were closing soon! My friends and I were just vibing and enjoying the food when we realized the place only had one other table so we were like "oh crap what time do they close?" They literally already had closed and we felt so bad so we were trying to wolf down the food as fast as we could and asked for the check and apologized to our server for over staying. But she was so nice and told us not to worry and to enjoy our food. She also somehow over heard us that we were celebrating my sister's birthday and brought us some complimentary ice cream! So sweet, much love to the wonderful staff here. read more

I ordered delivery from this Katsuya location, and once again--it did not disappoint. Honestly, the food traveled way better than I expected it to. Everything arrived fresh, neatly packed, and still tasted amazing. Katsuya just slaps--even from a takeout container. Consistently solid flavors, quality ingredients, and that little extra something that keeps me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving sushi that actually delivers (literally and figuratively). read more

This Japanese restaurant is small, clean, and serves pretty good food. The service is attentive and it seems like the customer base are repeat locals from the area. The shrimp tempura combo set was a very good value. However, the main disappointment for me was the thin sashimi slices. I can confirm what others have reported, the sashimi slices are much smaller/thinner than I have ever seen at any other Japanese restaurant. It would be great if they provided thicker cuts of sashimi and raise their prices a few dollars. read more

I have been eating with them for years and I Love them! The food is great, the service is excellent and they are quick!

I've been coming here for about 10 years now and I swear by it. Everyone I bring here loves it and it's always just what I was hoping for. I went again today and there was a larger party next to me, so they asked if I would switch tables. I'm flexible, I'll switch a million times over, I don't mind. Whatever makes things easier. They gave me free dessert because of it!!! It was so sweet!!! And they made it so adorable, look!!! read more

Possibly the best sushi spot in the Valley. No frills. No flash. Just execution. They let the food speak. And it speaks fluently. This place is spotless. You notice it before you even sit down. Even the bathroom was showroom clean. Like they expect critics daily. And they probably do. Staff is top tier. Smiles all around. They were ready to clear my plate the second I finished. Not rushed. Just smooth. Like they've done this a thousand times. Spicy albacore was rich and bright. Spicy yellowtail had depth and heat. California roll and avocado roll were classics done with precision. Fish was fresh. Like ocean-to-table fresh. If you're still running to Sugarfish you're behind. This is the move. It's giving The Bear Season 3. Clean cuts. Quiet flex. All taste. No ego. read more
