The food was excellent! They put a lot of flavor into their dishes from the miso soup to the salad dressing. The sushi was also very fresh and well prepared. The salmon skin handroll was exceptionally good. The service on the other hand was surprisingly slow considering they were not very busy at all.

Mouth watering sushi dishes served perfectly and beautifully. We had the Lemon Roll that was amazing. Jessica’s Albacore roll is to die for and the Monkey Brains are….super delicious. Exceptional service. Excellent selection of Japanese style cusine.

Got there on an apparently slow night as it was a little after 7pm and we were the only ones in the restaurant. There are basically two sides to the restaurant. A sushi side and a teppan grill side. When you come in they automatically put you on the sushi side. When we sat down couldn’t help but notice a unclean floor. Food, dirt, and chopsticks, etc. Understand if they were busy but they were empty. Anyway wanted grilled food so we got up and went to the teppan side. Long story short service was ridiculously slow and unattentive. Like drinks which was the first thing we ordered and had to re-ask for because our server forgot. On a more positive note the teppan chef was good and so was the food he prepared. Same thing goes for the sushi which was also very good. Overall the food is good here but to get it you have to be willing to wait.

I’ve been coming to Katsu for years and it truly has not changed, which is a good thing as the food is good and consistent, especially for the hibachi side of the restaurant. The hibachi chefs have been here over 20+ years and have the skills to match and make the experience enjoyable. Service is good as well. I have not been here for the sushi or lunch specials as I usually come for hibachi, but it does look like they’re popular for their lunch bentos. Overall good experience, especially for a birthday or special event around the hibachi table, or during covid, my husband and I had a private hibachi show as it was early in the evening on a rainy day and it wasn’t busy, which was really nice and we felt safer (all restaurant staff is also masked).

Absolutely fantastic Sushi! And the counter service was attentive & fun! Had the most amazing green tea ice cream bowl that easily served 4 people. Can’t wait to go back!

Great Japanese food. The lunch bento boxes are between 7.95-9.95 and include an entree, rice, salad, 4 pieces of California roll, soup and mixed vegetable tempura.

Delicious sushi and tempura! Service was average and the place could use some updating for sure. Otherwise, the food is the star!

Very nice mid level Japanese cuisine. They have inside and outside tables as well as some teppanyaki and a sushi bar. Full menu from sushi to bento boxes (always the best deal!) They have japanese beer and saki. Located in the restaraunt row on san marcos blvd. Next to the regal movie theater. Plenty of parking. Be aware they advertise open till 830 but stop seating at 8pm.

Overall very good food, especially the sushi. Disappointed in the seafood Dynamite which we’ve had many times over the years, but it seems they’ve changed the recipe. It came out cold on the inside. The only other thing that was not enjoyable, was we sat down at 8 p.m. on a Friday night and before we were able to order, the owner came along and told us it was last call! We told her that we didn’t even have a chance to order yet. How can you have last call at 10 minutes after 8 on a Friday night? This is not going to draw customers in and honestly this place used to be very crowded and usually a wait. Now there are only a few tables there and maybe part of it has to do with the management? We ate out every night that we were in town for five nights and lunches and every place we went to was full or near full.
