Cool, hip sushi joint! 2/25/2011

My boyfriend took me here last night for our anniversary; Good job boyfriend! He knows my taste: hip, edgy, trendy, and japanese culture is a plus! I loved the geisha wall art the most, and the different styles of seating around the tables were so cool. I love shrimp so I ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura Roll, and it was so tasty, albeit a little too big to fit in my mouth all at once! For dessert we shared the chocolate ""lover"" cake, which seemed appropriate for the occasion :) It was sinfully delicious and moist! All in all it was a great anniversary dinner for us, a perfect night! more

Innovative Japanese 10/8/2010

The atmosphere is great. It is very upscale. The portions tend to be somewhat small. The cuisine is innovative. But for Glendale it is a very expensive restaurant. more

great food, a little pricey 12/1/2009

I probably like this place because this is where my boyfriend and i had our first date, but I love the vibe it had. We sat outside and it was beautiful. The food was great, but very small portions. The desert platter was out of this world amazing! They have good customer service, our waiter was very accommodating. I would go back, but only when i get a good paycheck! Pros: great food/decor, nice for dating Cons: they were out of certain plates more

Great place to sit down and enjoy the surrounding 5/4/2009

First time at Katsuya, it was on Sunday @ around 4:30pm, so it wasn't that busy yet. We were sited outside on ground level. Itt was a nice sitting outside, we were able to see the fountain, hear the jazz band that was there that day and we enjoyed the beautiful surrounding of the Americana had to offer. The staff was friendly. The food was good, but I wouldn't say is any better than any other Japanese Restaurant. I thought this place was way too Expensive for what they give you. After ordering an entree and sushi, me and my husband still felt hungry when we left but we weren't about to order more food which will probably cost us $50 more on the bill. Bottom line is, if you don't mind paying 3xs more than most Japanese Restaurant and maybe leaving still hungry, then this is a great place to eat and enjoy the surrounding. No, we would we would not go there again. Its not worth it. Pros: Location Cons: Expensive more

still iffy 3/24/2009

I still cant figure out if i like this restaurant or not. the food is great but the people that go here are stupid Pros: great food Cons: too many people more

Overcharging/cheating and expensive. 3/8/2009

I got overcharged and do not appreciate that. The receipt I signed was less than what my credit card was charged for. Restaurant is expensive and food is definetely better than the alternative fast food but at this price I expected way more. Service above average, food, above average, price and cheating definetely impacted my trust and overall experience. Pros: Overcharging Price Cons: Fodd is good and convenience, close to shopping and playground for kids more

EXPENSIVE! 9/21/2008

If you're feeling lazy (and are shopping at the Americana mall) and overly trendy, this place will do. However, hope you saved some cold hard cash, cause that you will be spending! more

Overcharged by 100% 9/14/2008

Did lunch there with my 82 year-old mother visiting from Tokyo, my sister and my five year-old son. 11:43 a.m. according to the time printed on my receipt -- definitely NOT a dinnertime. Two mixed tempura plate came out to $36. The printed menu (confirmed by their online menu) said $10 each. They charged $18 for a grilled salmon plate. The menus said $12. The only thing they got right was kid's tempura with steak plate: $10. OK: I didn't pay attention to the price of water (Large Fiji Water, $10) but what shold have been a $50 lunch came out to be close to $100 with tip. Pros: kids menu. Cons: pushy and greedy waiters, less-than-human management. more

Hot Spot in Glendale 9/2/2008

Katsuya at the Americana at Brand was delicious. Ladies in the front were sweet. I definitely recommend the cucumber watermelon mojito. They make it right in front of you. Try the halibut cheek AMAZING, service is great and ambiance is beautiful. Definitely recommend it for a first date experience. Pros: Fountain view Cons: parking more

sushi 9/2/2008

Dining at Katsuya Glendale was phenomenal! First off- the tall brunette hostess could not have been more lovely and hospitable. We were seated within minutes of our reservation and had a gorgeous fountain view. Our server was attentive, well informed, and guided us through our dining experience. We started with a Burning Mandarin- delish. The rock shrimp tempura is a must have!!! Strongly recommend for an after movie dinner. Pros: service Cons: parking more

Amazing sushi experience! 8/27/2008

I went to this sushi restaurant thinking I was walking into the everyday kind of place. come to find out my view on sushi was completely reversed. The place has great service- my drink never was empty. The food and cocktails were amazing- everything was made from all fresh ingredients and the drinks even had organic fruit! As for my actual server, she was great. I forgot her name but she had long brown hair and a cute smile. I highly recommend coming here for a first date or a social gathering. The prices are mid to high range but the atmosphere and cuizine are definately worth it. I can't wait until my next visit to Katsuya at the Americana! more

Worst dining experience in years 8/17/2008

To start out the hostess only offered a table at the inside bar (which in hind sight would have been better) even though tables were available outside on a gorgeous night. When I asked for an outdoor table she said ""yeah wait in the lobby""in a bothersome way. On our way to the table both my husband and I were nearly run down by little service dudes rushing nowhere. Granted the decor is cool and the layout is not bad, once we sat down it took at least 20 minutes just to get water and about 45 minutes to get edemame. EDAMAME! no joke, i had to ask twice. Even the glass of wine took forever. The table next to us had been there slightly longer and was already having it out with the waitress over their wait (close to an hour). They gave them a random sushi dish mistakenly, after they paid the bill and said oh we have wait staff troubles today. The sushi took another 25 minutes and was just OK. Typical of a random suburbian sushi shop. nothing special. The soy sauce on our table was empty, we were given no table setting and had to continuously ask for water. When the water guy came, he spilled water on my husbands leg and then replied in a cocky way ""oh the napkin will be ok"". He could clearly see that I was angry, inquired, and then said, ""oh thats rare"". Our plates were never cleared, we were never followed up with, and forget being offered desert. Maybe they knew we wanted to get the hell out. This place is a disgrace to good sushi dining everywhere. Too bad it was such a good location. If they ever get around to hiring anyone that has ever worked in a restaurant before, maybe, I'll go back...but it will be awhile before the bad taste of this sushi restaurant goes away. Pros: Location and outdoor patio Cons: Service was horrible and staff was rude more

suburbia kills the thrill of hip sushi house 8/12/2008

what a horrible franchising idea to take all the reputation Katsu-Ya has built and exploit it by opening up a location in a glorified suburban mall. the football stadium sized floorplan made it hard to make eye contact with our waiter for any request - including asking them to refill the empty soy sauce container. two separate kitchens for hot and cold items required the waiter to explain that our dishes would come randomly and at odd intervals - and they did. at least two tables of ""party of 12"" guests complete with tots in high-chairs blared loudly that this is now a ""family restaurant"" rather than one of the top 10 sushi joints in LA. so sorry to have spent my money at this location - next time... Hollywood or a more low-key Studio City! (and i'm Armenian!) Pros: they have some of the dishes from the flagship Katsu-Ya restaurants (but not all) Cons: overall ambiance, weird 2 kitchen floorplan, bad service more

Good food, great views, good people watching 8/6/2008

Order the lobster - YUMMY! Also, reasonably priced lunch specials and happy hour is good. Sit on the top patio and you'll get the best views of the fountain Pros: Cool location, good food, good people watching, decor is awesome Cons: Service is slower but OK more

TOO SOON FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS! 7/29/2008

I had a front row seat at the Sushi Bar of the still new Katsuya at the Americana. The head Sushi Chef was fat and jolly-but, his team's product was mediocre if not INEDIBLE. They managed to turn my favorite dish of Tuna with Crispy Fried Onions into a soggy morass of wet sludge on top of inordinately thick and sinewy sponges which doubled as the tuna. My next coveted choice of a Yellowtail Handroll--looked as thin and flat as a kid's FRUIT ROLL-UP, and tasted as bland as one would think of a DEATH-ROW inmate's LAST MEAL. When I politely conveyed my disappointment the JOLLY CHEF, laughed it off and said, ""Sorry, it's Monday."" Needless to say, at almost $60 for a MEDIOCRE MEAL for ONE--'Sorry' is not enough! Pros: pleasant location Cons: sushi sous-chef had licked his fingers and then continued to prepare sushi! 'Nuf said. more
