Katsuya Hollywood entices the palates of Hollywood diners with the same ingenuity that has captivated Angelenos at its sister Katsuyas in Brentwood and Glendale. The sushi bar is where celebrated Chef Katsuya Uechi practices his trade of creating sushi masterpieces, using the freshest ingredients to create a dizzying array of custom rolls and spectacular sushi and sashimi platters. The Katsuya "Liquid Kitchen" juices, shakes and stirs some of the Left Coast's most intriguing and sought-after cocktails. For the setting, designer Philippe Starck has created a masterpiece of sensuality, beauty and soulfulness, described by Travel + Leisure as "bold, witty and sensational."

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.

The food here is A++. Me and a group of friends went for a friend's birthday. When our party arrived, they walked us to our table, they pull back curtains and revealed a private room for our group of 8. It was FANTASTIC. Our waitress was super attentive (although there is quite a bit of running around that goes on, as it is such a busy establishment). She was wonderful. The fish is soo fresh, it is amazingly wonderful. I had the jalepeno yellowtail sashimi for appetizer and it is to die for. Along with that I had the crispy rice with spicy tuna...my absolute favorite dish. I wasn't that fond of the shisito peppers appetizer (it was a little underseasoned ...like it needed a bit of acid or something). And the miso soup was classic. For dinner I had a spicy tuna sushi roll with rock shrimp on top of it (EXCELLENT) and salmon sushi (SUPER FRESH). I recently went to the Brentwood location and loved the ambiance even more...it's more rectangle and large (as opposed to the hollywood location that is split into areas and divided by the reception/bar area. Both are uber trendy and the food was equally excellent at both locations. The creme brulee was pretty good.. and I also had an apple tart like thing...which was decent. Bottom line is that I'm a huge sushi fanatic and the freshness and quality is exceptional at these two restaurants. I'm gonna try Nobu next and let you know what I think!

my mum and i had a short break in LA and was booked this table at katsuya by friends. as we'd never eaten sushi before we were a bit apprehensive. we arrived on a Sunday night to very friendly staff and shown straight to our table, the waiter that we had was brilliant and very helpful we explained we'd not eaten this before and he basically ordered for us and thank god he did. it was delicious and he couldn't have ordered better. Also the puddings were fab! it was quite expensive but we enjoyed it and came from England to try it! our only gripe was when the taxi driver dropped us off we were a little scared!!!! there were lots of people hanging about outside the door.

went for dinner with party of 6. the waiter was stressful and kept harassing us to order. we spent $300 for the 6 people, and yet he made us feel like we needed to order more. great food, but pretentious people that work there.
