Katana Japanese Restaurant

My sisters and I have been very curious to try Katana for some time after several friends' recommendations. We came around 5:23 pm just to see where the place was and where we could park and got a surprise went we notice there was a line already! The restaurant opens at 6 pm at closes at 11 pm ( Monday through Sunday )

We found a parking lot just behind the restaurant ( $1 per hour and after 6 it’s free) just have to make a right and it’s there! There are also a few parking spots in from of the restaurant but they were all taken ( people who are used to going there and making turns between the line while waiting)

Thankfully we have water and umbrellas in the car to make the line but to be honest, it will be a good idea for the restaurant to have at least some chairs and umbrellas for their customers while they are waiting, currently, the heat is unbearable even for locals!

Once they open there is a nice guy who gives numbers to customers ( the place is tiny and only has 25 seats, you can wait inside but there’s no place for seating) and asked for your name and phone number so they can call you when it’s your turn ( it would be nice to have an app to make a reservation and received and message 😉) *** ( see the note at the end)

Is a very small place so we have to wait for one hour to be seated but a least this time we were inside with A/C!

The place is a little bit outdated but everything is clean including the restrooms. It has a rotary sushi bar, there is a chef in the middle making the most amazing sushi we’ve ever tried, now I understand why people make lines to get in! The hot delicious appetizers also came from the kitchen to the rotary bar. You can grab the plates you like ( each one has a price) or you can order from the menu ( there’s a QR code on each table)

Katana has by far some of the best sushi and sashimi we’ve had in a long time. So fresh! The best sushi rice we have ever eaten!

The staff was also really nice. 10/10 we would go here again maybe after the heat comes down a little bit.

*** I found out yesterday, that From this Monday 25th July, they are getting a digital waitlist for their customers so you can make an online reservation!! This is fantastic!!! The link and information would be available on their site and Instagram.
