Nothing can top the first time I came here for a few reasons but it was still very good. It felt like they took a slight step down since the last time I was here.. couldn't quite put my finger on why. The interior is beautiful, but I liked sitting outside on the patio with the background noise of the city more. The service was fantastic, the cocktails were great, the food was fresh and flavorful. My favorites were the skewers again along with the katana roll. Last time I remember we got this incredible sashimi sampler that was on a beautiful glowing bed of ice.... I definitely want to try some new items the next time I come here.
We went to Katana during the week and were greeted by an incredibly helpful hostess, Arica. She was super sweet and got us an amazing table outdoor. The food was incredible. I loved the Fluke Orange and Popcorn Shrimp.
Wow! Thank you Crystal and Arica for making our friend's dinner experience the best! From the time we were seated, the service was phenomenal. Crystal was a gem, with a bunch of girls, we kept her busy ordering the yummy food and drinks! Arica was so lovely in checking in on us and making sure everything was going well. Both ladies did such a lovely job taking care of our dinner party! I recommend Katana, the service was fabulous and the food was super yummy! Oh yeah, cotton candy bday dessert was orepic!
Katana was sooo delicious! Very fancy, low-lit, and perfect for date night! My partner and I visited recently for a quick date night and wow, we definitely have to go back soon! The mocktails were refreshing and pretty, crispy rice was soft and easy to bite, and the nigiri was perfect! You have to try the lobster and steak plate. Its creamy sauce is so tasty! Service was great also! The hosts were welcoming and our waitress was very sweet. Definitely recommend Katana for your next date night!
I've dined at katana many times and every time has been a wonderful experience. The food and ambiance is the best in LA! We love to sit in Crystal's section! She is very attentive, personable and gives the best suggestions. We will be back soon to sit with Crystal! The managers Raphael and Drew came to the table to check if everything was perfect and of course it was as usual ! Best service ever !
