Honestly, everything is AMAZING! Go tos: baked crab hand roll , crispy rice spicy tuna , creamy salmon cut roll.

John Stanforth

Spicy tuna with popcorn shrimp and crispy rice , extra-crispy, are both still amazing. Adding separate popcorn shrimp appetizer was even better. The 4 1/2 roll was good too.

Amber

The original Katsu-ya and THE BEST. The baked crab roll melts in your mouth. The space is small, but has casual low key vibe that you don't find often.

Kevork Kazanjian

The fish is so good, you will not want to swallow it. If the chef has a recommendation don't pass it up. I love the jumbo katsu-ya roll.

Heather Hale

The spicy tuna on crispy rice and baked crab rolls were my favorite. Plenty of good here.

The salmon sashimi w/ caviar is heaven! Come early if you want to be seated right away. They open at 5:30 for dinner and get packed by 6:30. And that's on a Monday.

Melissa Goldstein

Small place, arrive early if you don't make a reservation . Tuna roll on crispy rice is a must!

I have to warn you. You will never eat sushi anywhere else. You know when you have an out of body experience? It's like that. Go with their suggestions. Trust me on this.
