Our daughter's birthday celebration at Katana was lovely! We ordered a variety of appetizers, specialty rolls, entrees, cocktails (including N/A) and everything was delicious. Some of us were not experienced sushi eaters and the staff was great in educating us on what things were. They also gave a complimentary dessert to the birthday girl! A great time!
