| | We specialize in open flame charcoal grill cooking serving Japanese comfort food.
The specialty of the house is robata - traditional Japanese skewers are roasted over an open flame, infusing the meat, fish or vegetables with a smoky essence.
Located in the historic Plaza del Sol building, Katana is distinguished by design accents such as protruding railroad spikes that line the walls of the lounge and polished redwood bar tops made from a mammoth 400-year old fallen redwood tree. The 6,000-square foot restaurant has many distinct spaces, including the bar and lounge areas, the main dining room with Sushi Bar and Robata Grill, the Tea Room, Sunset Room, private dining room and the outdoor heated patio overlooking the bustling Sunset Strip. |

Editorial Review for Katana |
| Rustic Japanese fare, sci-fi-inspired decor and a beautiful crowd add up to a Sunset Strip hot spot.
The Scene
The team behind Balboa and Sushi Roku has put its muscle into this stylish Japanese restaurant and lounge.

The encyclopedic Japanese comfort-food menu can be overwhelming. Get your bearings over fragrant red miso soup, then turn your attention to the specialty of the house, robata. The traditional Japanese skewers are roasted over an open flame, infusing the meat, fish or vegetables with a smoky essence. Served in dainty portions, the choices range from chicken breast to a more ambitious sea bass marinated in ponzu. Other inspired dishes include giant scallops and shiitake mushrooms loaded with |
Insider Tips | Happy Hour
Visit weekdays between 5:30pm and 7pm for $5 select sushi rolls and skewers. Happy hour prices only apply in the bar area.
What to Drink
Ask for sake tips--Katana has one of the largest selections in town--and one of the only certified sake sommeliers. Redsun is a house beer created to complement sushi.
Know Before You Go
Waiters deliver your skewers whenever they happen to be ready, so order all at once or a few at a time.
Where to Sit
No reservation? Seating at the sushi and robata bars is available on a first come, first served basis, but the grill end is smoky--head for the sushi side. |
