How does it take 40 minutes to make 10 pieces of Sushi? Usually, I get my sushi order in under 15 minutes from other sushi places.
I, like many other people in the restaurant, were waiting for our take-out orders. Many people were frustrated by the service. I understand it was busy for Father’s Day, but it is not an excuse for poor service. I noticed some people eating in the restaurant were not be helped without them asking for service.
Please understand and try to improve the service for weekends.

I have passed this place for almost 2 years. This day, my daughter and I decided to take a chance and have dinner here. Omg! I was so amazed at how tasty the food was. I enjoyed the sushi, but what hit home for me was the shrimp fried rice. It tasted just like home (California). The best tasting rice I have had since moving to the East Coast

Katana has been our go-to sushi spot for over a decade—the earliest photo I can find from there is 2011, and every visit since has been outstanding.
The sushi is always top-tier: fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. The roll selection is almost overwhelming—and we mean that in the best way. On this visit, we ordered so much sushi they had to bring it out in a boat. And what a boat it was—an epic display that was as much a celebration centerpiece as it was a meal. Every bite delivered.
We celebrated my daughter’s graduation in the back semi-private room, and of all the places she could’ve picked, this was her top choice. The staff went above and beyond to make the night feel special.
Katana isn’t just dinner—it’s part of our family’s story.

KATANA JAPANESE CUISINE Clarksville
My first time visiting this neighborhood staple and cozy Japanese restaurant that serves an extensive menu of sushi and hibachi selections. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients and a friendly atmosphere.
Our server was very familiar with the menu and ingredients. This was helpful for 2 in our party who were gluten free. He was friendly and accommodated separate checks for our party of 10 people.
Food: Was enjoyed by the majority of our group. The dishes we chose came out as they were prepared so whatever needed to be hot was served hot.
The sushi,I would say, is the hallmark of their menu. Made as ordered and given a hearty appreciation by those who had gluten free limitations. Other special requests were happily accommodated.
The only thing I can attest to, since I ordered it…a wish for a lighter batter to be used for their tempura. I know what I order will have been deep fried but when the batter is thick, it becomes heavy and greasier from the oil it was cooked in. There were plentiful amounts of shrimp with sliced vegetables, I had leftovers to bring home.
We enjoyed our gathering. The space is small with dark wood accents but kept clean and quiet enough to carry non-competing conversations with our group. The prices were pretty reasonable and the food was enjoyed, especially those who had diet restrictions.
I will probably return with my husband or a smaller more intimate grouping.

We love this place the most out of all the sushi places in Columbia, MD. To start with the restaurant, it is very cozy. Service is great, all the staff are always attentive and friendly. All the shushi is fresh. The shrimp steamed dumplings are amazing, and all the sauces are outstanding. Much recommended! Parking is available
Lee and all of the staff are very attentive and the quality of the fish is high grade and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant to sushi enthusiasts.
Parking: Lots of parking during the day.

My partner and I have been coming to Katana for about a year now. It is one of my favorite places and is such a gem. The staff is always so welcoming and kind— and service is always amazing. Now the sushi… I cannot get enough. Every roll I have had, I had LOVED. Always fresh and super tasty. I highly recommend this place, and the crispy eel roll! In the photo attached we got the Koto, Hot hot roll and crispy eel (our favorites).
