This is my second time trying (and reviewing) Katana. Since under new ownership, I thought I'd give it another try. I really should have given it 2.5 stars, but since the wait staff was so nice, they get a 3. I really, really wanted to give this local restaurant a great review.
My friend and I ordered Sake off the bat. We both took a big sip-- of heated VINEGAR! Whether it was sake that had turned, or if the apologetic waiter had poured from the wrong bottle, I'll never know... But it literally started the meal on a sour note.
I had 3 rolls-- the Philly, Tuna and the Hot lover. The Hot Lover roll was the only one that was memorable, because it contained jalapeno... But even that one was just meh. The rolls weren't all that flavorful.
Will I go back? Yes- but only because it's the only sushi restaurant in Fountain Hills. But I won't take any out of town visitors here.
