What the community has to say about Katana

Information about this business (2)

Katana offers decently authentic Japanese fare in a pleasant, cozy setting. The staff are extremely friendly and will answer any hibachi questions you might have. The hibachi is well worth ordering - the meat, or seafood, comes perfectly flame-grilled, retaining excellent texture and flavor. The rolls are standard American-Japanese restaurant fare, and decently priced; there are some good sushi...

Conveniently located in Norfolk's Historic Ghent, Katana has earned a reputation for excellence. The interior is warm and inviting, the hibachi chefs are entertaining and skillful, the staff is very friendly, and the cuisine is excellent. Extra attention is given to the little things here - from the selection of dipping sauces at the hibachi tables to the delicious pre-meal soup and salads, and...

This place is dirty, dirty dirty! The food is ok, but the Hibachi Chef didnt really do "the show" which is why we would pay the prices for a thin New York steak. I will not be going back!

Took my grandchildren to meet a friend for lunch, and she suggested Katana. Wasn't sure how my grandchildren would respond to such a different experience so I promised them hamburgers afterword if they were at least polite. Didn't need to. The staff went out of their way to accommodate both adult and young child needs, and lunch was a delight...

Not what it should be

Japanese Steakhouses are supposed to be a 'show' The 'chef' is an entertainer while he cooks in front of you. This hardly happened at Katana. A poorly done 'volcano' and he dropped one of the eggs while tossing the other (only twice) with his spatula. End of show. Our table did not receive the traditional 'yum yum' sauce. Lastly, the...

Tasty hibachi

Average Rating

We have eaten at Katana several times and find the food generally superior to similar restaurants in other cities. The food is generally more flavorful than most hibachi, rice is not gummy, the filet is very tender, seafood is good. The few sushi selections we have tried have been fine, we've had equally good other places. Sauces and salad dressing...

Wouldn't get sushi there

Went for a sushi lunch with a friend and was very disappointed. I ordered two rolls (salmon and tuna - which is what I usually get at most sushi places) and both rolls had the aftertaste of a refrigerator odor on them. The rice was hard in places (aka not fresh) and the seaweed was chewy as if the entire...
