Rocks! – This place is fun, has great food and although it's scene-ish, it's a great spot to get together with friends..Robata is something you can't find in many other places and it's really good. Definitely try the chicken robata

Decent sushi, but delicious appetizers... – Went there last night & the friendly waiter suggested one of their specials to start the meal: shrimp wrapped in bacon. They should add this "special" to their menu. It was by far the best part of the meal! The sushi that followed didn't even come close to comparing with the shrimp appetizer. Ask to be seated outside because it was so smoky from the grill inside the restaurant that my clothes still smell like smoke a day later.

ON THE GRILL – This is not the place to go for sushi. Though, they serve it, they really specialize in grilled meats and fish. The cod is superb, best I've ever had. The drinks are good. It is a great place to people watch and for a celebrity owned restaurant, I think it's the best in town. For upper class tapas, the prices are very reasonable. Whether you are with friends or on a friendly date, Katana is a solid choice. You can't go wrong with the food from the grill. Happy Eating.

On the decline... – I used to adore Katana, and admittedly it's still hard to beat the setting. But the last two visits suggest that the food is just something the kitchen churns out to kill time until the bar scene gets cooking. For a place this expensive to turn out so-so sushi is a crime. Still a great place to take an out-of-towner for drinks

Hollywood Hot Spot – I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. Located in the heart of Sunset Blvd, Katana is the perfect place if you want the feeling of cruising the boulevard. There is plenty of noise, pretty people, and people watching to be had. This isn't a place I'd go to impress a date or for a quiet evening, it's more of a place to go with pals to people watch and have a fun time. It's stereotypically "Hollywood trendy". The food was surprisingly good (guess I wasn't expecting much) and the menu was well priced... read more

Good food and good times – Nice ambience and interior. Both the sushi and the skewered grill items are yummy. If you can, reserve a table outdoors... it's nice for a romantic dinner or a party with friends. Reccomendations: Sushi: shrimp tempura roll, tuna carpachio appetizer, chicken karage. Skewers: chicken meatball, salmon, shrimp

What a Blast! – A gorgeously decorated restaurant with beautiful people enjoying delicious food and drinks, what more could you ask for. If you do not like noisy bars/rest. then do not attempt to go there on the weekend. However any of the sushi is great, the mushroom caps stuffed with chicken are heaven. Get advice on some sake and you're all set. Try to sit outside with a view over Sunset and spend the night there.

Unexpected dining pleasure – Recently dined at Katana upon recommendation from The Standard Hotel where we were staying and had an awesome dinner. We were seated immediately without reservations on a Sunday night. It did get quite busy about an hour after our arrival so reservations would be helpful. Our waitress was extremely attentive in an unobtrusive way and very pleasant. She recommended the foie gras filet mignon as an appetizer and it was incredible. The sushi was great as was the Chilean sea bass. We thought the pric... read more

still debating, but generally good – Situated in the thick of Sunset's chaos, Katana attracts a very "Hollywood" crowd. Interesting decor and very loud. We had reservations for a Wed. night and still waited. The service is iffy because it's so busy. Avoid the sushi and peer over the robata menu. I had the quail eggs, chilean sea bass, shrimp in tarragon miso, and filet mignon w/foie gras, and all were excellent. The portions are small, but rather inexpensive. More like tastings. The popcorn shrimp came w/delicious sauces. Th... read more
