   I’ve been here many times before. It’s been a while since the last time though. I noticed a drop in level food quality and service. Our server didn’t know the menu well so some of the stuff we ordered ended up 86. The lyche martini was too sweet had to return. Replacement gin and tonic took forever to get to table. The spicy tune crispy rice was too “crispy” worse than I recall. It was my little son’s birthday dinner. Asked the restaurant at reservation time to get us a nice table but they didn’t care and put is right in the middle of their entrance. Didn’t bother to get him a complimentary birthday dessert. Overall was not a good experience this time. Hope this trajectory is not consistent and this is a blip. Remains to be seen.

   Amazing place amazing atmosphere got there early so we decided to have some drinks at the bar to which Rigo attended us did a spectacular job on our drinks and was patient with what we wanted when are table was finally ready we sat down weren’t really sure what to order for appetizers but are server Luis recommended the katsuya ceviche which was delicious the yellowtail sashimi , the rolls of sushi when we finally ordered our entrees were on point and sent over promptly to end the night he brought us an assortment of deserts that really was the cherry on top I will definitely be back as the food was good but the service was great 10 out of 10.

   We enjoyed the restaurant. Great food. However I received a notice that my reservation was cancelled. That’s not night. Please credit me for the reservation. I made it.

   From beginning to end Luis was there to help us enjoy our evening! It was a rare date night for my husband and I so we made the most and went for the tasting menu which was amazing!!!! Simply divine. We ordered a couple of extra dishes as it was SO good and we wanted to explore more. It was a taste explosion!! We were so full at the end of the eve. A wonderful treat, highly recommend!

   I had an incredible dining experience at Katsuya, thanks to Luis! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our meal. His professionalism and positive attitude made our night even better. If you’re dining at Katsuya, I highly recommend asking for Luis!

   In general not bad , sushi nothing special, It seemed that the cook was saving on the fish because it was so thin and sometimes even absent from the rolls. But the staff was friendly. Saturday so many people and noisy. The first time was much better experience, but it is what it is.

    Katsuya was an amazing experience for our first time there ! Took my girlfriend for her birthday and she loved every minute of it . The manager Karina was great and she made sure we were taken care of. Every dish looked even better than the last and tasted even better. All the recommendations were on point and met our expectations. Will definitely be back and thank you again Karina and staff for making it an unforgettable night for my girlfriend and I. Till next time!
