Katsu-bla....what makes the LA version good is the scene...when you take the scene away and expose the mediocre food and double the price, it makes for a disappointing experience. I have to say the service is great...but the food was just not good...nothing was balanced or seasoned correctly and the fish was below average. Dropped $380 on 2 people so we sample quite a lot...but not nearly as much as you would expect for that price and a thoroughly disappointing meal.
