A high-energy Japanese restaurant where chef-owner Katsu Imamura graciously welcomes every patron as he works sushi magic at the bar in back of the small dining room. The contemporary room features black lacquered tables and chairs and exposed-brick walls. The fare includes unique specials like asparagus in a thick sesame paste, an outrageously tasty king crab leg sunomo -- a whole leg precracked and served on beds of thinly sliced cucumber and pickled wakame -- and Kenchin salmon filled with a fluffy egg mixture then beautifully plated with asparagus tips, curly purple kale, and red pepper strips.

Katsu was remodeled in 1997 and looks much more upscale then previously. The food is still top notch.

Katsu is my favorite Japanese restaurant. The sushi is top quality as are the other selections. As for atmosphere this place is limited, but it is very clean.

Good Japanese food. A little bit too expensive if you order Japanese beer and Japanese sake.

Weak, but pleasant environment. Smiling wait staff. Really good, consistent food. No more pricey than most Japanese. Good quality shashimi.
