Sushi Katsu-ya - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I personally believe they serve the best sushi in Seattle. The creamy salmon, available as both a cut roll and hand roll, was incredibly delicious and practically melts in your mouth. A standout dish was the corn tempura with garlic butter; I've never encountered anything like it elsewhere, and it was truly amazing. I could honestly drink the garlic butter and wish I knew how to make it myself. I highly recommend getting this appetizer. Considering its location, the prices are fair. They offer multiple options for salad dressing if you opt for a house salad to start. The selection of sake and cocktail options was also a plus. I absolutely love this place!

My experience at the restaurant was amazing. The staff provided great recommendations, and JP, in particular, offered amazing service. My 8-year-old even declared it his favorite food ever! The overall service was excellent.

My experience at this restaurant was always a delight. The food was amazing and very beautifully presented. The soft shell crab was my favorite dish. The service was also great.

My experience at this divey sushi place was positive. They have a good selection of fish. The wine menu was quite small, with only about five selections. I enjoyed the Yellowtail collar, which was a simple yet good cooked dish. The yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño was also a highlight. The rolls were large and offered good value. While it might be a good lunch spot, we visited for dinner. The service was great, and I would recommend this place for a casual sushi dinner.

I am ashamed to say I’ve visited 4 times in the past 7 days, and it just keeps getting better. My go-to is the shrimp tempura roll while my partner loves the 4 1/2 roll. We share the salted edamame, creamy popcorn shrimp, and tempura corn. Love the sushi, and the incredibly kind staff and chefs.

I came here on a date, and the food was alright. I would’ve given this place a higher rating, but the waiter is super rude to me. She asked my date what he wanted to order and didn’t care to ask me what I wanted and was ready to walk away. When I asked her what drinks they had, she just pointed at the menu. I was asking for recommendations, but she didn’t give a crap and seemed like she didn’t want to even be there. That was the worst part of dining here. I’ve had far better sushi at other places, and the service here was bottom tier.

This was a good 4-star sushi experience! Their special lunch options were pretty good. The nigiri were good, and all the fishes we tried were fresh. While we liked what we had, I have had better nigiri. If I could, I would give it 4. 5 stars! I would recommend this place, especially for lunch!

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I got food poisoning after eating here, and the eel definitely wasn’t fresh. I felt sick shortly after my meal, which completely ruined my night. I am very disappointed and won’t be returning.

My experience at this little Japanese spot in South Lake Union was wonderful. The food is consistently delicious, with the miso cod being a must-try. The service is always wonderful, thanks to the manager, JP, and the team. Cassie and Ning make every visit so welcoming, and even our little one approves! 🍣✨

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best sushi I've had in a long time. As someone who lives in Vancouver, a city known for its excellent sushi, I can confidently say this place offers high quality sushi at a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!
