Katsuya was an incredible experience. We went there for a date night and was absolutely in love with everything we had. We had the Katsuya Chef’s Tasting Menu ($85 pp) which included 1. Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi: This was sublime! 2. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice: This was probably the highlight of the entire meal for me. Spicy tuna always slaps and the crispy rice had a very delicate hint of toasted sesame oil. Très bien! 3. Lobster Tempura: I’ve never really been a fan of tempura but this one was just exceptional. It was such a nice flavor. I think there was a hint of cheese. But whatever it was, I want more. 4. Wagyu Ishiyaki with Wasabi ponzu: I’m always sceptical about red meat and love it with more flavor infused. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I really enjoyed this. The wasabi ponzu, thinly sliced radish and shiso leaves were the whole package! 5. Specialty rolls: These were well-executed but I was mind blown by the rest of the food that I’d had and the flavors that were exploding that this did not leave a memorable mark for me. But still so good! 6. For the main course, we had a choice between short ribs and the cod. I went with short ribs. This was probably the best sears ever! I also loved the braising jus. 7. Finally for the dessert, we had the Miso Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Marshmallow, Sesame Cremeux, Salted Caramel. It was an amazing dessert to finish things off. They had a few wine offerings, which I enjoyed. Our waiter was super sweet and ensured that we were occupied throughout. He was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. I loved the ambiance on the inside. Though it’s near one of the tourist-y parts of LA, once you’re inside, you don’t realise how busy it is outside. Overall, I enjoyed this spot immensely. 15/10 recommend.

We had such an amazing experience! The food was hands-down the best Italian we've ever had, with generous portions perfect for sharing. The service was outstanding—our waiter Hector was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind. The entire team went out of their way to check in regularly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We’d absolutely recommend Jemma and are already looking forward to our next visit.

This is my third time at Lemon Grove. It's quickly become a favorite for great views, ambience and exciting food options! My friend and I had an amazing time and really enjoyed the zero spirit options! I will be returning to this local Hollywood gem!

The price fix dinner was beyond outstanding!!! Service friendly and attentive

We were celebrating a 50th birthday and Status Hollywood made it unforgettable. Every entree was delicious and left you wanting more, the oxtails, coconut salmon, and honey jerk lamb chops. The cabbage was sautéed and seasoned to perfection and the housemade juices were incredible. I will be back! Thank you Status Hollywood for a wonderful evening filled with delicious food, excellent customer service and ambiance.
