If you're looking for a trendy Vegas-like dining experience, the ambiance in this location of Katsuya is right on point. However anything deeper than the ""look"" of this place falls completely flat. My boyfriend and I have been to the Katsuya in Studio City several times and are familiar with the menu. This Glendale location just doesn't match up. The famed baked crab hand rolls don't have enough of the special sauce that makes them ridiculously good (and in Glendale, they're $7 instead of $6, pushing the ridiculous price for a single hand roll even higher). The other sushi rolls were sloppily made and EVERYTHING on the menu was at least 2-4 dollars higher than in Studio City. The service was decent, although there are hordes of servers standing around in clumps and it took three tries with 3 different waiters to get a paper napkin.
Pros: trendy atmosphere
Cons: high price for mediocre food, sloppy presentation and disorganized staff
