Food: Creative, fresh but tiny

Sushi Katsu-ya whips up top-tier dishes that play on creativity and freshness like the crispy rice with spicy tuna or albacore sashimi.

  • Okay Taste

    Some dishes hit or miss, with both great and subpar experiences.

  • Portions

    Many reviews mention portions being too small, diminishing dining satisfaction.

Vibe: Cheap decor, loud vibes

The vibe at Sushi Katsu-ya lacks when it comes to ambiance, with reports of cramped spaces, loud music and bland decor. Couple that with the overcrowded and noisy atmosphere, it becomes a downer for romantic date nights. It does, however, draw upon the trendy crowd with its hip surroundings.

  • Great Buzz

    Attracts celebrities and a hip crowd, making it a trendy hotspot.

  • Aesthetic

    Cramped spaces, loud music, and bland decor detract from dining experience.

Perks: Parking woes, noisy kids

Despite the fair pricing and wide variety, the perks at Sushi Katsu-ya fall short. Complaints pile up around parking impracticalities and the cogwheel of noise within the restaurant, making it discomforting for both kids and conversations. However, their reservation system and dietary convenience stand neutral amongst the public criticism.

  • Okay for Kids

    Casual atmosphere with both adult spots and kid-friendly options.

  • Bad Service

    Service sometimes slow, disorganized with rude or inattentive staff mentioned.
