Sadly, we had a really off night. What has been a regular spot for us, is now off the rotation. Sushi/sashimi was not the same quality. Service was terrible. For the price, there are better options.

I've been dining at this Katsuya for many years. The quality and value feels like it has really gone down over the last couple years. The pieces are smaller and smaller and don't seem as fresh. I suspect they are managing to profit margins but that's a slippery slope in the premium restaurant space. Hope they can turn it around since we love having a fun/stylish place to go to in the neighborhood.

Usually love this place! The service was poor quality though last night that we ended up leaving early. On a typical night though, the food is amazing and service is top tier.
