Robert roll, izakaya roll, spicy tuna crispy rice , creamy popcorn shrimp , albacore crispy onion , miso soup , and of course the best: hand baked crab roll (they put more rice and less crab if cut)

Kevork Kazanjian

I know it looks like nothing but this Albacore & truffle roll is da bomb. You MUST have it. Everything we had was fresh and melted away in the mouth. Katsu-ya did a good job.

Marleine Pacilio

all the katsuya favorites -- crispy rice spicy tuna , rock shrimp tempura , albacore with crispy onion , baked crab roll -- are perfect. super fresh & delicious ... without the trip to the valley. :)

Rebecca Arnold

This is hands down the best sushi I have ever had! I will for sure be back! Try the crispy rice w/ spicy tuna , spicy edamame , baked crab hand rolls , and the tuna and crab tempura ! AMAZING!

Ms Helene

Whitefish with yuzu and jalapeño , seared tuna with caramelized onions

Joelle Hancerli

Spicy Tuna on crispy rice , Albacore appetizer with crispy onions , creamy rock shrimp appetizer , baked crab hand roll , Robert roll, Cone tartare spicy tuna

DailyCandy

Skip the edamame and opt for sauteed kabocha (Japanese pumpkin ) with garlic butter soy sauce . Move on to the albacore with crispy onions and baked crab hand roll ; finish with green tea ice cream .

Andreas Cohen

Must do’s include: 1. Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna nigiri 2. Popcorn Shrimp 3. Baked Crab Handroll . Enjoy! 😋

Faith Blanco

Try the crab hand roll with rice paper ! It's so yummy, also get whitefish wrapped in crab it's amaze.....not on the menu but they'll make it for you. And I LOVE the uni shooters

Vee Sethu

Think we had the salmon sashimi , spicy yellowtail with jalapeño and seared albacore . Really delicious, would recommend highly!

Navin

Do the crispy rice with spicy tuna , the albacore with fried onions , and the baked crab rolls . Then go across the street and have banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery for dessert !

Josef Szotten

Such an amazing place. Super friendly staff . The Seared Albacore & Truffle oil roll - wow! They're very accommodating - changes were welcome

La Cjargnele

I only ordered raw fish.Great quality fish and well cooked rice .Only thing they don't put wasabi and ginger in the dishes.I recommend this sushi place.Thumbs up for the waitresses ,they're so friendly !

Giancarlo S.

You can mix the the seared albacore with crispy onion with the sauce from the garlic albacore with shaved black truffle . So save the plate of sauce when you are done with it.

Erick Barbor

My favorite sushi in LA . Spicy tuna crispy rice , rock shrimp tempura , albacore crispy onions , baked crab hand roll and yellowtail sashimi w/ jalapeno . You can't go wrong!

Dave Huth

Honey roll is amazing! Heaven in your mouth! We also like the shishito peppers to start. Nice alternative to edamame . If you like live sweet shrimp (ama ebi), it is really good here!!!

J Crowley

Some of my favorite sushi in LA . Order: spicy tuna on crispy rice , rock shrimp tempura , and 100 baked crab hand rolls . Delicious!

Justin Satzman

Hands down, one of the best sushi lunch specials around. Tons of sushi , choice of sides and soup for $12. Do it!

RTWgirl Arnette

Shishito peppers , baked crab hand roll , crispy rice with spicy tuna , beef short rib . A good standby for Japanese in Mid City

Natalie Guerra

Popcorn shrimp spicy tuna , creamy salmon handroll , and hamachi with jalapeño 🔥🔥🔥

Angela Leus

Fav LA Restaurant - Best dishes (all a must):baked crab hand roll,creamy rock shrimp tempura,crispy rice w/spicy tuna ,yellowtail sashimi w/jalapeno & if luckily available,toro w/crispy spinach special

Alessandra Luise

Dinner with locals! Relaxing and easy. I loved California rolls and Yakisoba w/shrimps. They don't have Philadelphia rolls :(

Noura S.

Tuna with crispy rice is the best👌

Keith Myers

This is the best sushi in LA . Order the TORO and YOLO.

Sara Roderick

Great quality sushi . Just the right amount of casual (when it comes to restaurant itself).

Steven Michael

Loved the popcorn shrimp on the spicy tuna roll .

Keith Myers

This is quite possibly the best sushi in Los Angeles. Make a reservation before going.

AT Wawa

Tempura shrimp hand roll was good with spicy mayo

Bekki Kang

Try seafood tajine !It goes perfect with sake .

Giancarlo S.

Rock Shrimp Tempura is a must. Try the Salmon topped with caviar , which isn't on the menu. Good ones are Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna , and the Yellowtail Sashimi w/ Jalapeno .

Niken

The crispy spinach on the garlic toro dish is great! And the far from ordinary tasting spicy tuna on crispy rice is amazing. So is the nasu miso .

AT Wawa

Rock shrimp tempura were ok

Elizabeth Romero

Go With The Crispy Rice Tuna 🍣 💚💙

Sofia Uz

Superb food- try spicy tuna plate. Good service

Scott Jacobs

Absolutely fabulous Sushi ! Make a reservation as it's hard the get in.

Giancarlo S.

If you just order california rolls here, you are missing out. Get the garlic albacore w/black truffle . The garlic toro with crispy spinach is amazing.

Christiano Cochrane

Even though the food is good, the noise is UNBEARABLE!! We couldn't hear the waitress or each other during lunch . Might be OK if you go by yourself with your earbuds...

Devran Mustafoglu

Yellow tail jalepeno sashimi , tuna belly hand roll , rock shrimp tempura and spicy tuna roll ! Ask for special garlic sauce on the side!

TJ Taylor

Basically Katsuya for half the price. Not the same feel in terms of the typical trendy la scene. But could care less food was great service was quick. Baked. Crab hand roll  (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Agata Wejner

The best sushi I’ve ever had.

Mike Lanzillo

Cant go wrong with the sampler. Creamy salmon hr FTW

Moira McCarthy

Love Love Love! Start with the steaming hot edamame and the Spicy Tuna/Crispy Rice . Move on to the Rock Shrimp Tempura and BAM!!!

A Jones

the baked crab roll cut easy rice easy mayo and the creamy rock shrimp tempura easy sauce. then when it comes put a piece of the shrimp on the roll...your mouth will thank you!!!

André Amanpour

You MUST try the Albacore belly nigiri !

Elaine Kim

Be prepared for your entire table to be carded, even those well into their 30s-40s!

AT Wawa

Black cod & crispy tuna

Palmer Emmitt

Spicy tuna with crispy rice , baked crab hand roll , salmon carpaccio - heaven.

Beau Colburn

Baked crab hand rolls & spicy tuna on crispy rice are a must.

Amanda Hoskinson

Spicy tuna and shishito peppers are a win. Also the sashimi bowl .
