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.
nice ambience...delicate food – if you want to treat urself to a restaurant where the atmosphere is hip and intimate, check it out. the food isnt quite filling but the desserts and drinks are orgasmic. the food comes out in small portions so you have time to conversate. nice place for a date or gathering of a few friends. try the kome kome and plum wine for drinks, green tea fried tempura is a must for dessert! pricing is fair. service is good but they get packed on weekends so make reservations and dont expect the fastest m... read more
Awesome Patio – Definitely fet a table out on the patio. The heat lamps will keep you comfortable and it's a blast to watch the Sky Bar crowd across the street coming and going in their limos and haute coutre get-ups. The sushi is nothing to shout about, but the desserts are pretty tasty. i recommend this place as a post dinner (eaten elsewhere) dessert place.
Great Sushi, Not Great Value – The sushi and other food items were fresh, well-presented, and delicious. The service, however, was remarkably not attentive. I've been to Katana twice; I guess you have to be a celebrity to receive good service. If you don't like your dinner companions the noise won't bother you, but if you want to have a conversation without yelling, good luck.
Beautiful people central – The food is astounding; sushi is the same as long as you go omakase. But to be blunt: Don't bother showing up if you've got no style. This place is a haven for the jet set crowd or folks with star power. Its 'modus operandi' is identical to a Sunset club: Guys - I hope you have a date or plan to sit at the bar/terrace. Gals - you'll be seated shortly. In general. dress to impress, and you'll be treated accordingly.
try for yourself! – Went to this restaurant for a company dinner with no expectations..Then went back a week later because it was a great experience overall i.e., food, services, drinks, and crowd.
