The food, decor, the staff were wonderful. However, the noise level made it hard to hold a conversation.

It is not a place to have a pleasant dinner date. We had a reservation and still, had to wait close to 55 min to be seated! The music was so loud at the dining area and did not make it like a high end restaurant at all! It is a restaurant for people who are attending a show nearby. We would not recommend this place to anyone and would never go back!

The restaurant is very cool & very LOUD! It doesn't help that every time the hosts walk someone to their table they yell when they enter the room

We love Katsuya! The sushi is so fresh and the rolls are creative and very tasty! We especially enjoyed the special crab hand roll and we added avocado which was the best! We had tickets to the Pantages and the staff was very attentive to ensuring we left on time to the show. Everyone there is very friendly!

We had a wonderful dinner before seeing a show at The Pantages. It was our first time at this restaurant. Our service was excellent from everyone.

I was excited to try this restaurant given the reviews but honestly the sushi did not impress at all! We tried the chefs tasting menu which was below average. None of the dishes made any time of good impact. I feel like the ingredients were just okay but the flavor was definitely lacking. Won't come back, but did enjoy the Harry Potter drinks.

Great place! Very relaxing and exclusive. The food is absolutely fantastic, the drinks were delicious too.
Upscale Hollywood experience

Go here for a $200 snack before going out to your actual dinner spot. Tiny bowl of miso for $8, the waiter even joked with me about it not being bottomless miso. $50 for 6 tiny pieces of wagyu (it was delicious). The sashimi was very light with almost no flavor to any of the fish. House roll was more of a California roll than a specialty roll. Unfortunately, we left hungry after spending $200– we’re not big eaters either :(
Came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and had an amazing meal! This is located in a dense part of Hollywood close to The Pantages Theater and I opted for valet right in front rather than search for a spot. Let's get to the food: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - 5 stars. Excellent! Perfectly crisped rice underneath creamy and delicious spicy tuna. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - 5 stars. Utilizing the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts gives this a crispy and light quality and the seasoning is delicious, not your typical "balsamic glazed" sprout Miso Cod Bites - 4 1/2 Stars. This was a healthier and light appetizer and a nice little bite. Baked Crab Hand Rolls - 5+ stars. The best baked crab roll on earth!! No notes! Assorted Kushiyaki - 5 stars. We got the asparagus and the eggplant and both were great! Assorted Ngiri - 5 Stars. Every piece was fresh and absolutely delicious. The service was fabulous as well. Extra olive juice on the side of my Filthy Martini was a nice "mint on the pillow" moment for me, and the mini sparkler candle that was brought out for my bday dessert was charming. The ambiance is minimalist and upscale, and our giant booth was perfect for a bday celebration. Well done Katsuya, can't wait to come back!

Host was so welcoming and lovely to our large group. Harry Potter themed drinks were delightful. Food was good. Great option near the Pantages
