Sushi KATSU-YA Encino

Absolutely ignorant staff! I CATEGORICALLY do not recommend ordering anything from this garbage pit. They don’t care about customers who make deliveries, your order will be delayed endlessly because you are not important! YOU WILL WAIT FOR AN HOUR, TWO, while they serve new guests, because you are already trapped and after an hour of waiting, your order will not be canceled! DISGUSTING.

Good food but you cant have a conversation in the resturant. Its so small with so many people that you have to yell to say hello.

Reason for visiting: cousin's birthday dinner

Date/time of visit: Saturday night, 7:30 PM

Parking: they offer valet (not sure how much it is) but you can park on the street (along Rubio) or Ventura for free (meters are off on the weekends)

Party size: 5

Environment/ambience: pretty loud inside (sometimes couldn't hear ourselves talking); mixed crowd but mostly younger (teens and 20 somethings). Didn't see any TVs inside; restroom was pretty clean. Seating was tight; it was a table for 4 but we squeezed a chair. They were busy all night so probably best to make reservations.

Service: was great; very friendly and offered suggestions. Came around often. Offered them one of the desserts we brought, they took off a couple items from the bill ?

Food: everything was great; had the Blue Fin and Salmon Belly handroll, spider roll, Katsuya Sake, beer, mixed sashimi, Lobster dynamite, scallop cut roll

Cost: $390 with tip

Would I go back (yes/no): 93/7
