Katsuya - Brentwood

Used to come here for social events but haven't been in a while. The food is solid, the wait staff on point and isn't too stuffy and snotty. A good mix of crowd and a staff that make you feel welcome. I've never been for dinner only had drinks and appetizers but it's on my list of must do. If you haven't - you should.

I had lunch at this place today. I had never heard of it before, but it was amazing! I'll be back for sure.

We love to come here with family and friends. Very tasty food and good selection of raw and cooked fish!

i totally love this place, it's the best!!!!!

Ambiance is awesome

Love the sushi and sahimi =) plus drinks are breathtaking

this place has the best sashimi ever! i love the food, love the fusion, love the drinks and the atmosphere!

Stopped in here earlier this week for dinner. Taking in the neighborhood, I was expecting a bevy of rail thin waifs to be overpopulating the bar, but the original Katsuya has quite a different vibe from its neighbors or even its Hollywood counterpart. The atmosphere was relaxed and very easygoing, no bumpin' club music or rush to be escorted out of the place. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the food, as expected, was top notch. This time I opted for something warm and settled for the shrimp tobanyaki, which was great. They really do their hot stuff just as well as their trademark sushi (which I dabbled in, couldn't resist a scallop roll). I don't make it out to the Brentwood area often, but next time I do, I think I've found my new local spot. 5 stars.

Brentwood has some fine eateries. This is not the best one I can imagine. Just a ways down the street are fine Sushi alternatives. For a bit more dough, I'd hit up Nobu any day of the week.

The Starck interior is fun the first time around. The second time around it not so much intriguing. Alas, that is just the way it is. Go to Taschen a few times and you'll see what I mean. Don't get me wrong, if the food was as good as the book selection at Taschen, even remotely so, then I'd be going back to Katsuya because you just can't get it like that all in one place. UNFORTUNATELY you can get far better sushi, yakitori, and drink at any other place around town.

Overpriced for what it is in Brentwood, but if you don't care it is sorta good and not too much trouble to get to.

Amazing place, more than just sushi! When I get over to this location of Katsuya, I know I am going to order the Jalapeño Yellowtail, enough said. The seafood dishes at this place are nuts, made even the biggest red-meat eater like me a fish guy! And it's nice to get over to this one to get away from the Hollywood crowd (although I love that location too!).

GO, NOW! ;)

Get ready for an epic nightt! Katsuya Brentwood's Mad Hatter New Year's Eve Extravaganza will feature: DJ, live performance, photo booth, open premium bar, buffet of Katsuya signatures, and a toast at midnight. Doors open at 10pm.

OH MY GOD..! TELL ME ABOUT A FANTASTIC SUSHI EXPERIENCE..! @ GREAT PRICES TOO!

ok, the food is amazing.. & prices absolutely reasonable.. I LOVE roles & the regular ones run from 6 to 10 bucks an order, each order includes 6 to 8 pieces.
Specialty roles go anywhere from 10 to 18, for the same number pieces, but they are much bigger.
my favorite sashimi plate is 27 for more than 8 slices of amazing fish..!

DO make reservations for the weekends because it's gonna be jam packed. you might see celebrities too!!

I love everything about this place! it s a bit expensive and in some occasion they can be rude to you when you don t have a reservation, but otherwise...i love everything else!!!! my best friends live around the corner from the restaurant and we go there very often. not once we have not been happy with the food!!!..and i like very much the atmosphere! it is not as pretentious as other Japanese restaurants!

Great dining experience! The staff was amazing. I went to a friends birthday party here and would recommend it to anyone. I really loved the not so traditional menu items.

If you stick to the Katsuya classics (spicy tuna on rice etc.) you'll do just fine at this location and the Hollywood location. Stay away from the Brand and Downtown. Great date vibes and sleek interior (especially at the Vine Street Katsuya). If you want the REAL experience. however, get to the original Katsuya in Studio City or Kiwami, where you'll find the chef who started it all.

great vibe, great food, great sightseeing.
Love the rice with tuna, the black kod fish
Great for dinners and night drinks
