Katana is in a subtle location on Sunset Boulevard (who knew there is such a place) in the heart of happening, east of LaCienega. The food is remarkable and always dependable; no off--night for this chic restaurant. They feature a Robata menu along with inventive sushi. The Robata items are a knock-out, served tapas style, so you feel comfortable ordering... More

We have been here quite a few times during the last years and the food did not disappoint us this time either. The Yakitori skewers are quite good but still not at the same level as Nanbantei in Singapore.They do taste good and I can recommend the Liver, Chicken Wing and filled Shitake. The Tsukune, the meatballs, are too solid... More

We ate the more expensive feast. It was 80 per person. It was so fresh it was amazing. The staff were lively and attentive. Lots of food! A deceptive amount when it came out per dish. By the end of it we were full and happy.

This place was recommended by one of the concierges at the Beverly Wilshire - we wanted a japonese restaurant, modern but child friendly too. The place is great - with amazing sushi rolls, but the robata selections are the stars.

First time at Katana it was great! We have ordered the Rabata menu and I have to say it was very good. The waitress suggested to try it, great choice. We ate a lot, did not expect as much. As all fancy places in LA a bit overpriced but I think it was worth it!

Set in a fabulous building that looks like a Tuscan Villa right on Sunset Blvd, it's very glam. The interior is modern and dimly lit, we enjoyed the food and the service was adequate/slow until we paid the bill and then there was none. Would still recommend it we enjoyed it immensely and it's just across the road from the... More

The food was awful. Nothing like the Katana of a few years ago. Servers are tired and seem to hate their jobs. Food presentation old and drab. Wouldn't recommend the experience.
