Interesting restaurant. I ordered the rib-eye skewers. Two of the cubes were fat. Pure unadulterated fat. The fried rice was dry and flavorless. The atmosphere was nice.

KatanaResponded on July 28, 2023
We receive the freshest, highest quality ingredients, so this is unfortunate news to hear. It saddens me that you did not get a fair representation of Katana. I assure you that this is not the quality and service that we pride ourselves on. I am hoping that you can give us another shot so that we can provide the experience that we work so hard to deliver to our guests. If you call the restaurant and ask for me I would love to make sure that your next experience is great. Jasmine Garcia - GM

Really annoying to be told we have a time limit on table before even being offered dessert. Also, we are in LA. Not one N/A beer on the bar menu? Sushi Roku has them.
KatanaResponded on August 12, 2023
Thank you so much for the feedback, Marc. I understand the 90 minute time limit on Fridays and Saturdays can be quite frustrating as weekends here tend to be quite busy. When booking the reservation, you definitely should've been informed. I will double check the system to ensure guests are properly being informed. I really hope that you will give us another chance. If you do, please ask for Drew the Assistant General Manager so the team here can make it up to you!

We spent over $400 and left hungry. The servings are "tapas" style and while I appreciate that style, the prices are entree pricing. Essentially you get very little for what you pay.

The Katana experience was great but the parking situation is a different story. They have a valet but don’t tell you the parking garage closes early and your car will be stuck overnight. This inconvenience alone is big enough to give a low rating.
