Honestly, everything is AMAZING! Go tos: baked crab hand roll, crispy rice spicy tuna, creamy salmon cut roll.
Kevork KazanjianJanuary 13, 2015The 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.
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.
GourmetLiveMarch 13, 2012Food blogger Joann of Daily Cup of Jo recommends Katsu-Ya for “Savor the rock shrimp tempura, crispy rice with spicy tuna, baked crab rolls, and seared spicy albacore with crispy onions.”
Heather HaleJuly 4, 2011My favorite sushi place. Try the red tuna lolipop (no idea what its called - gorgeous presentation), the albacore on fried onion strings is ta die 4, yes, spicy tuna on crispy rice, baked crab - yum!
AmberJuly 6, 2013The 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.
The original, not that Starck Hollywood nonsense, sit at the bar, they are very friendly and knowledgeable, Patrick is the best.
StephMay 25, 2013Baked crab roll, spicy tuna on crispy rice, creamy rock shrimp and honey rolls! Be prepared to wait, even with a reservation.
Perfect meal is spicy tuna crispy rice, baked crab handroll, albacore with crispy onions and jalapeno yellowtail. YUM.
Christine De GraciaNovember 9, 2010The 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 GoldsteinMarch 7, 2014Small place, arrive early if you don't make a reservation. Tuna roll on crispy rice is a must!
ManireMay 10, 2012I 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.
Rachel DavisNovember 24, 2014Yes: tuna on crispy rice. Eat it while it's still hot. Forget the toro tartare.- Amanda GagnonAugust 7, 2013The spicy tuna on crispy rice and baked crab rolls were my favorite. Plenty of good here.
Marlon AlaanMarch 25, 2015This is the original Katsu-Ya. Been to the one in Miami. Coast to coast Katsu-Ya. 💙
Rus SmithDecember 27, 2011Recommended to me by someone on a Southwest plane trip from South Carolina. Awesome Sushi! Love the hot towel!

Lisa SongDecember 20, 2010Spicy tuna on crispy rice, creamy rock shrimp, blue crab handroll, melt in ur mouth sushi... Oh the possibilities!
Marla @DvinMsMJuly 25, 2011The O.G. of the Katsu-Ya chain - the food is amazing - but definitely a bit pricey! Read more- Ok, wow, the Spicy Tuna w/Popcorn Shrimp Tempura Roll is beyond incredible, practically redefines "sushi" altogether.
Lisa NegliaJuly 18, 2010The best sushi in LA! Crispy Spicey Tuna melts in your mouth. Reservations a must. Valet is in front.
Anthony C.June 8, 2010Small place but kicks ass! Nuff said! Seared spicy albacore tuna w/crispy onion is to die for.
Dionna ChambersMarch 30, 2015Hey Katsu-Ya, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
Vallee GirlJanuary 12, 2011Save yourself the parking frustration and just pay the $3.50 to valet there! Especially on a Friday/Saturday night!!!
