Editorial Review for Katsuya Hollywood – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
Continuing with the Hollywood Boulevard resurgence comes the second pairing of sushi rock star Katsuya Uechi and quirky design icon Phillippe Starck. Set beneath one of the boulevard's now-ubiquitous loft buildings, the glassed-in space is where Pantages theatergoers and sexed-up club kids pull up a stainless steel Starck-Kong chair for raw goods like seared tuna and salmon sashimi at the sushi bar, or beef-rolled asparagus and garlic-buttered king crab from the robata grill. There's also a huge main dining room as well as an outdoor area for a little al fresco dining. Just beware--the food isn't the only thing that's fishy about this place. Paparazzi desperate to get a good shot of celebs like Eva Longoria or (gasp) Randy Jackson are served aplenty.

What to Drink

Those with less time on their hands might pop in for a sip from the "liquid kitchen," while examining the sushi knives on display in the bar area. Popular cocktails include the Burning Mandarin--Absolut Mandarin with Serrano chili--as well as a large sake and shochu menu.

We had a wonderful exprience here. The food was sooo good.. I mean all of it!! The drinks were so good including the lychee martinis and the watermleon cucumber mojitos..loved those. The service was really good, they were attentive and prompt with the food. Overall we had a great time and we will certainly return.

Cons: Traffic on Sunset...takes a long time to get there

I've been to may high-end sushi restaurants and this is my fav place. Went there on a Wednesday and it was packed! I made reservations and definitely recommend it. 3 of us shared the Sushi combo, sashimi combo and the miso black cod, the shrimp roll and tempura roll with a great cold sake bottle. The fish was very fresh, excellent quality. the miso black cod was my favorite, I've tried a similar recipe at other high-end sushi places and their recipe is top knotch, the fish is not overwhelmed with the miso sauce and its cooked just right. I was a little disappointed on the tempura roll, the inner fried shrimp was very small and not meaty but just doughy, it didnt have any sauce as I am used to from other restaurants. (other places serve it in some teriyaki style sauce). For dessert I ordered the creme brulee, I would have liked it served warmer but it was really good as is. The waitress was a little clumsy, she poured water in my sprite and had to bring me back another one. Total was $170 which is normal for an establishment like this. The waiter recommended the cold sake we had and its my fav now, I was surprised they bagged the empty bottle for me! oh, and if you ask where the restrooms are- they will even escort you! service was ok (it really depends on your waiter), ambiance was amazing and food was awesome!

Pros: Ambiance, food

Cons: Pricey parking
