Service was great. As sushi lovers, the sushi was not that great (especially for the price) and the restaurant itself was a weird vibe. Our friend told us you don’t go to Miami to eat the sushi and now we believe her.

Overall it was the worst dining experience I have ever had. The service was absolutely terrible the food arrived cold and out of order, (we got our entrees and desserts before our appetizers) and worst of all we waited almost 1 hour to get any food at all. The maitre’D was completely useless “checking in with us” only to tell us the kitchen was “backed up” when there was probably only 15 people inside the venue. The worst part was that after this terrible evening I had to pay an obscene amount of money. The only reason I chose katsuya was because of the reviews and I’m simply writing this one in hopes someone sees it and doesn’t have to experience what I went through. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy.

Zachary, our server, was terrific and a great asset to the restaurant. The shrimp tempura was out of this world. The short rib fried rice was generous with the short rib, although a little bit too salty/spicy for my taste, but those who like spicy dishes will love it. Great restaurant!

From Chewy Wagyu to Sushi Magic: A Rollercoaster of Flavors at Katsuya Miami My culinary journey through Katsuya Miami was a gastronomical thrill ride filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and the occasional chewy Wagyu. Picture this: a sleek, contemporary restaurant, with decor as vibrant as the Miami nightlife, serving up the finest sushi in town. As I entered, I was greeted with the tantalizing aroma of fresh fish, ginger, and wasabi. I eagerly anticipated my meal, hoping that Katsuya would live up to the hype. First up, the Wagyu beef. A high-priced, highly sought-after delicacy, I expected nothing less than a transcendental experience. However, my excitement quickly turned to bewilderment as I chewed... and chewed... and chewed. The Wagyu beef, rather than melting in my mouth, proved to be as stubborn as a Miami traffic jam. Disappointment loomed. But fear not, fellow foodies! For as the Wagyu faltered, the sushi soared! Each bite was like a symphony of flavors, a tantalizing dance of fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and delightful sauces. The spicy tuna roll was a fiery fiesta, the yellowtail sashimi a delicate delight, and the dragon roll an epicurean extravaganza. In the end, Katsuya Miami proved to be a study in contrasts. While the chewy Wagyu may have temporarily derailed my culinary adventure, the fabulous sushi brought me back on track, leaving me with an overall unforgettable experience. If it's sushi you seek, Katsuya Miami is a must-visit. Just be prepared for a wild ride!

My husband and I make a point to get a reservation at Katsuya every time we are in the Miami-South Beach area. The menu has a great variety of items. Everything we’ve tried so far, has been fantastic. The sashimi/sushi is very clean and fresh. And most importantly, the raw fish items are served dead cold, as they should be. We always try one of the Robata grill items; this time we had the eggplant. Delicious ! The service at Katsuya is always wonderful. There were three large groups (possibly all one party) that seemed a bit out of control and loud for a fine-dining establishment such as Katsuya. The staff did a great job of making their presence known, simply by doing a continuous walk through. And last but most certainly not least…. anyone who has read any of my reviews, knows how I feel about the cleanliness of a restaurant. If the bathrooms of a restaurant are dirty and poorly maintained, then the kitchen is probably dirty too. Katsuya gets an “A” for cleanliness. Thank you for a fabulous dining experience.

We were the first table sat in the restaurant for the night and waited 30 minutes for our drinks, having to ask multiple times for them. We had to ask multiple times where certain food items were that we ordered and waiting almost an hour for. My grandfather had to ask 4 separate times if his veggie tempura was going to be coming out and we had been there for an hour and a half at that point. They brought out several items that we didn’t order instead of the items we did order and did not listen to item modifications we made to specific items. There were also a couple items that were never even brought out to us so we had to ask them to be removed from the bill. Continuous careless mistakes throughout our entire dinner, it was a terrible experience.

1. Service was attentive and prompt. 2. Sake choice was good, but tended towards high end brands. 3. Sushi was standard North American offerings 4. Sashimi choice appeared limited, with no stand alone sliced fish without some sauce or toppings 5. Yellow Tail should not be a description on the menu, as it is an ambiguous term in these parts. Apparently, Yellowtail can refer to an amber jack or a snapper. Prefer Japanese names for sushi and sashimi ingredients. 6. Good value for money.

I don’t know where to start…the food was just lousy…I ordered just nigiris, to start the chef mixed up the order..they send me fish I didn’t order and the ones I ordered were just low quality frozen tasteless fish….on top of it the rice was very heavy on vinegar…the only good thing about the dinner was the baked crab roll and the sake…the waiter was very attentive but with lack of knowledge about Japanese cuisine…I appreciated that he offered me a glass of champagne and the dessert for free but I didn’t accept them..all and all a very bad experience….I will not come back

One of the worst restaurant experiences on my life. The place has no ambience at all. Looks like a cheap joint. I ordered wagyu skirt steak and my husband ordered lobster dynamite. 5 minutes later the waitress came back and said they were out of the steak. I changed my order. Another 5 minutes she comes back saying they don’t have the lobster dynamite. I wanted to leave it that time but we already had our drinks. We made a mistake of staying. After changing our order once again we got Japanese Wagyu A-5 Striploin and dry aged ribeye. The wagyu was very good. The ribeye was cooked to our liking but about a third of it was not edible - very tough tendons that should have been removed. We spend a lot of money on an ok food and had to change our order 3 times due to the restaurant not having several items on the menu and the waitress not knowing that right away. The drinks were good and one of the deserts, chocolate cake, was very good. The caramel cake was just ok.

The server never poured our water and rarely poured our sake. We had asked for silverware. He went to get it and had it in his hand Ashe stood talking to a female staff member as our food got cold. I can stay home and poor my own water and sake. Possibly, he felt that he needed to do the bare minimum as he was guaranteed the 18% built into the price.
