Party of two promptly seated. We chose to sit indoors as the dining room was less crowded than the outdoors patio. Service was prompt. We ordered a few different rolls and small plates. Ordered a nice bottle of Sake. All in, a great time for a tourist couple seeking a great dinner. Eats & drinks + tip was $190.

We are so happy that the hockey season is back. It provides us extra opportunities to dine with our friends at Katsuya. The only thing better than the excellent food and drink is the service we receive each and every time. I want to thank Sarah so very much for taking excellent care of our group. Additionally, thank you Tak for your hospitality and warm greeting each and every time we dine. Your leadership is clearly visible in each of your team members. thank you,

It was a lovely evening and great for a special occasion, although expensive. I especially enjoyed the live music and the service was stellar.
