With various seating spaces and dining areas like the Sushi Bar, the Robata (the grill), and the Sunset Room, you can take your pick as far as ambiance is concerned.

Paying for ambience, Food is overrated! – Definitely one of the best restaurant ambience in town, good for impressive a date or client, but can be very crowd and loud (even on a Wed). Food is just above average at best. I have had plenty of better Sashimi and sushi elsewhere for much less, Zagat rating of 21 ($49) vs. Fat Fish of 28 ($27). Worst of all is the valet parking (not part of Katana). They stamped us with an earlier arrival time (by at least 15-min) and try to collect $18 (instead of $7) because the ticket show we ... read more
Fun to visit! – This restaurant was a great way to visit a trendy LA environment. The robata and sushi were great and the waiters recommendations were useful. Ask the waiter to explain the menu. It can be overwhelming. Beware smoking is allowed on the enclosed patio so eat inside if you want to avoid it.
Recommended for the scene, not the food – The food was only average-- but the scene was pretty hip. A good place to have dinner if you want to hang out on the Sunset Strip-- good for guests from out of town who want to do the LA thing and see B-List celebrities.
Katana's great edge – Dining at Katana last Wednesday was an incredible experience. With a reservation for the patio, I found myself surrounded by three different A-list celebs as well as 11 of my closest friends. They can truly accomodate large parties and their food is perfect for that set up as well. You have to try the Robata skewers with the sauces and don't miss the crab legs. Service was solid especially since we had our waitress order everything for us since the menu is so big. Katana was amazing.
Awesome! – Wow, I was greeted by the host and hostess on a packed Friday night and was treated so nice! They treated me like a "somebody". Completely wonderful and unheard of in Los Angeles. That spirit was carried over in the service and the food. Amazing food! A great place to people watch etc. But the Staff...are the Stars! I have never written a review for anything but I just had to for Katana! Thanks, Jerry Johnson
A little overrated! – This place has nice ambience but the food is mediocre. The sushi and the rolls were not that great and the scewers were not the best sukiyaki I've had, although they were OK they came out all at once and were cold before you got to half of them. The waitress was noce and attentive and the hostess was OK she did however force us to give our table before we were ready to. The worse part of this place is the parking, $20 for valet parking in LA is ridiculous.
Good Food, Slow Service – Katana is a really hot spot right now, which probably is the reason for such slow service. Went on a Friday night and it was jampacked. Valet full, so had to pay the $15 parking in the lot beside the bldg. Even with a reservation, the hostess gave my friend a hard time as some in the party were late (she refused to let them have the table until all of us arrived). Good food, but make sure to check your bill, as with so many items ordered, you might not keep track of w/c are correct.
Katana = Really BAD Service – The hostess was an absolute snob. She had no manners and was very rude. She's best at shooing customers away, as I witnessed a few people just walking out because she had a bad attitude. There's a LONG wait even with reservations (I went on a weekday). Not worth your while...SERIOUSLY.
LA's hot spot – if you want a restaurant with the whole nine yards this is the place to go.. it's a place where people come to hang out, eat great food and enjoy the hip atmosphere. i sat at the bar and the food was great ... for first timers, if you don't know what to get, just ask the waiters/cookers to make you their own specials .. overall it was a great experience and i would definitely recommend this restaurant over most japanese/sushi restaurants.
