Recently, I decided on a whim to make a trip to LA to visit a cousin and the first night there we went to Katsuya for dinner. Katsuya is definitely one of those LA spots to been seen in.
Might as well just get to the point. There is no other way to put it! As far as Japanese restaurants are concerned Katsuya is far in a league of their own! Japanese Tapas is a great idea in itself but the quality and service at Katsuya really just set it apart from any where I have ever been.
Here is a run down of what we ordered, Yellowtail Sashimi w/ Jalapeno, Rock Shrimp Tempura, Lobster Dynamite, Miso Marinated Cod, King Crabs, Crab Roll, and Scallops w/ Garlic Soy sauce.
That is quiet a menu for two people, it is hard to say if any one item was better then the other, but I am partial towards yellowtail jalapeno anytime I get it.
If you are in the LA this is a must visit. Be careful as it is pricey; but they multiple locations in LA, so you have no excuse!
