About this business
6000 square feet of futuristic décor (inclusive of strategic lighting, metal rods and chic seating), and an A-list clientele give Katana a super-trendy vibe. If Japanese food is your thing and money isn't an issue, this is the place to be. 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. The delicious offerings consist of an assortment of soups, rolls, main courses, tapas, sake and more, but the establi... read more

Manage your Expectations & Enjoy! – A feast for the eyes more than for your stomach. The decor is a lot of fun (be sure to visit the restrooms), but while the menu reads creative, the food is just so-so. We made a reservation for 9PM, then waited an HOUR to be seated. By 10PM we were starving so we particularly appreciated the speedy & friendly service. Customers ranged from early 20's beautiful people to hip mid-40's on a date. Overall, one of the better places to dine/hang on the Sunset Strip and I'd go back.
What A Joke – I'm all grown up now, but I miss my stupid nights on Sunset so I told my wife that I wanted a night on the town. We chose Katana for its 'rep'. We ordered their version of the tasting menu and the first thing arrived were the Popcorn shrimp flown in direct from Applebee's. The skewers were glazed in a secret teriyaki sauce stolen directly from Teriyaki Bowl in Pacoima. The service was horrendous, inconsistent, rude, inattentive, distant, snooty, uncaring and barely existent. However, the service was really fast... read more
great atmosphere – The robata and some sashimi items are pretty good. However, the sushi needs a little more kick and the desserts are overall creative. Service is prompt and you have to try their drinks~~
Superb! – Really good food. I love the variety on the menu and the ability to order in small quantities -- this really allows to you to taste the wide variety of samplings. I found the service to be really warm and friendly. Great atmosphere, fun people, fantastic food!
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
