Yes, just yes. I want to come back to Katsuya again because it is great!
I usually come into these Asian-fusion restaurants like Katsuya with some doubt in mind because they have failed to impress me. With a SLS $75 F&B credit to my name, I was intrigued to try Katsuya with my dad because of the high rating on Yelp.
My pops and I went with the following choices:
the summer 3-course dinner
Corn crunch roll
Lobster Tempura
Corn Crunch Roll (4/5): Garlic-butter sauteed shrimp and avocado, accompanied by corn tempura on top. Absolutely a must-get for people who don't like raw fish sushi rolls. This was full of flavor and a nice of change of pace from the typical shrimp tempura roll at most places.
Lobster Tempura (4/5): Amazing, lightly battered with a mild-spicy sauce. Lots of meat within the 1/2 lobster.
Summer 3-course dinner (5/5): Easily the best part of the dinner. Choose the mushroom salad as starter, seafood yakisoba noodles as main entree and chocolate cake with tapioca for dessert. I LOVED the mushroom salad and seafood yakisoba noodles. There were many varieties of oriental fresh mushrooms inside the salad, they complemented the greens very well. Seafood yakisoba noodles consisted an abundance of shrimp, calamari, scallops and lobster and was seasoned to perfection.
Service was probably the only negative highlight of the dinner experience. They brought another table's food to us two separate times and were slow to refilling water glasses. Aside from that, I was happy with the food at Katsuya and I can't wait to be back again!
