Flyy MahmiApril 6, 2018Most everything. Had a really good first time “sushi” experience. Very fresh albacore & salmon. Spicy tuna roll w/popcorn shrimp was excellent.
Rick NijhuisOctober 4, 2016Don't get the popularity of their spicy tuna on crispy rice: it's greasy and lacks flavour but oh oh that toro tasting (regular nigiri, seared and tartare) is out of this world delicious!
- Eric TJuly 22, 2015Good deals: Lunch box & Lunch special 13.5$, if more hungry & curious try Platter 20$. Kids Menu 7$ a very good deal also
- Johnnie MJanuary 18, 2016Excellent tempura, a good selection of Japanese beers, very good fish and friendly staff make Izakaya by Katsuya worth visiting if you're in Manhattan Beach.
- Michael Ashley SchulmanSeptember 1, 2021A good sushi and Japanese restaurant that has a loyal fan base. I've found them slightly inconsistent, but am willing to go back.
Sheryl ValenciaAugust 31, 2013Being at the sushi bar & in front of Miki is awesome. First time seeing a female & she's wonderful. The Toro is yum ! Lobster roll is a plus & atmosphere is just right on a Friday night out
EdelNovember 7, 2015A very lovely cozy place, you feel like your in japan already, wanted to talk Japanese with the chef but i was shy 😁😁 , loooooved the Crab roll veryyy recommended.
Chris TJuly 23, 2015Delicious crispy rice with spicy tuna and also albacore sashimi with fried onions, come within the izakaya plate.
mary nahSeptember 4, 2016One of the best sushis in my Life. You can choose very regular ones or special creations from the chef 😍
- Please try the BSC roll, it's my all-time fav! I like to sit at the sushi bar so i can chat with the chefs, plus if u'r trying something new they can answer any questions
Day SarahMarch 31, 2020I’ve been here several times and everytime tried something different from the menu. Menu is very interesting, offering international dishes made with the best local ingredients.
Evan GramisAugust 26, 2014The lunch special is off the hook. Don't leave without trying the crispy rice with spicy tuna - it will change your life.
Vanity Fair AgendaJanuary 30, 2012One of the best not-so-secret spots in Manhattan Beach that’s regularly packed with locals and surfers, but worth the wait for its top-notch Japanese and sushi.
LogoTVSeptember 1, 2010Just opened up this last year. I love the sushi, location, and decor. All the dishes are great. What’s awesome too is the great location, next to all the cool bars and shops. - Jenny, The Arrangement- Mariana AguilarOctober 17, 2015Robert Roll and the one with eel and avocado are fantastic. Edamame with garlic & chilli are to die for!!
Rob OsterhouseApril 6, 2016Best Toro and UNI on the beach! BSC roll is good for those who like cooked things.
PamSeptember 7, 2014Crispy rice with spicy tuna...the best ever. Haven't found another sushi bar that makes it perfect like Katsuya
Scott ReillyDecember 20, 2016Miki is the best sushi chef I have ever had. She knows her sushi and her cuts are the best
Try the lunch special! For $20, you get all the signature dishes including albacore sashimi w crispy onion, yellowtail sashimi, sashimi wrapped crab, spicy tuna over crispy rice & baked crab handroll.
Adel AlSNovember 8, 2015Katsuya speaks 4 itself being an well known brand .. Didn't let me down for a moment .. Go for the shrimp popcorn n lobster roll
Everything here is amazing but you MUST finish with an SPTDC roll. Trust me on that one.- Chris TJuly 23, 2015For the kid menu, order the one with teriyaki and not the burger, you are in a Japanese restaurant 😉
ChefwaiterhaterMay 8, 2013Try the Live Scallop Pieces - This was #amazing #I only wanted more of this and not the other side of my scallop. #thankyou
- It's fun to sit at the sushi bar n talk to the chefs. They'll def hook u up if it's ur special day
Anya K.Z.January 10, 2014Another amazing LA sushi place. Always busy, there will be always a wait time.
Get seated in front of Miki at the sushi bar. They are all great, but she is the greatest.
Peter PreussMarch 14, 2010Excelent food and worth the wait. Next time we will make a reservation. Lobster dynamite was excellent. Going to try one of the tempura dishes next time.
Loren GrossmanFebruary 9, 2012Excellent fish and preparation. A treat. Crispy rice spicy tuna is great!
- Get the creamy popcorn shrimp on spicy tuna roll! Amazeballs!
Definitely sit at the bar for the best experience. The salmon sushi was the best I've ever had!
TasneemMay 8, 2010Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice, Miso Cod, Shisito Peppers, and the Izakaya Roll are all must-tries
Sabrina LiebermanAugust 22, 2013Basically Katsuya with better prices and on the beach. What more could you want....?
