Sushi Katsu-ya Woodland Hills

We had a great experience at Katsu-ya. The atmosphere was modern, the service was prompt, and the overall quality of the fish and presentation were excellent. We especially loved the Spicy Crispy Rice and the Yellowtail Jalapeño—they were both fresh, expertly prepared, and definite highlights of the meal! The rest of the nigiri was fantastic as well. The only item that didn't suit my personal preference was the Ikura (salmon eggs), which I found to be a little too fishy for my taste. This is completely subjective, as others may enjoy the strong flavor, but I'll skip it on my next visit. Overall, this is a beautiful spot for high-quality sushi. I would definitely return! For future guests, a note on parking: there is pay parking for up to 90 minutes available nearby, or you can use the adjacent parking structure where the first hour is free for a longer stay.

The best sushi in all of California. Personally, I think Katsuya is 100 times better than Nobu. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, it would be Katsuya. The staff are so nice and welcoming, and the service is always amazing. I’ve been going for 10 years, and the restaurant has always lived up to my expectations. Their baked crab hand rolls are a gift from God.

The best Japanese restaurant in California. Great quality, very delicious. Waiter Franz made for a perfect dining experience for us! He has high empathy, always there for you even when it is very busy. I have no idea how he is doing that.. you are lucky if he serves you!

Just came here with my girlfriend for her birthday, and I’m happy to say I will definitely be coming back here. The food here was so fresh and I had my food prepared very quickly. Which was pretty surprising considering the place was fairly busy when I got here. All and all, great Food, great vibe, great services. 5 stars!!!

Stopped here for lunch and as always Katsu-ya did not disappoint! I used to go to the Manhattan Beach location a few times a week when I lived there so I was happy to find this location after moving to Malibu. The baked crab rolls are so delicious..I usually get it as a hand roll but decided to try the cut one too this time. Both are delicious! I also got the 4 1/2 roll which was really good, too. Best to come in a group so you can order lots to try because there are so many good options but I can only eat so much by myself! My only issue was service was a bit off and my appetizer was forgotten and brought after I asked for it and after I received my rolls and I asked for more Wasabi and napkins but never got them. My server was nice, just obviously frazzled...I'll try coming next time a little later after the lunch rush is over to see if service is better.

Fresh. We sat at the bar and ordered about 4 rolls, each of which was perfect in their own way. The service was impeccable, the staff was friendly, and the place was very clean. No smell of fish at all when sitting at the bar which speaks volumes of the freshness. Near the end of the meal I asked our waiter if we could possibly ask the chef for a surprise specially (which he graciously agreed). The sushi with the flower is what he presented. So much incredible flavor from this work of art. I will be back again.

An exceptional place for Japanese food in Topanga. I can't get over the quality of their food as well as its rich flavors. Their sushi and sashimi are off premium quality and the attention to detail to each dish is memorable. I particularly enjoyed their crispy tuna bites, crunch cut roll, and miso marinated black cod. Their dessert selection does not disappoint with rich flavors, not too sweet, but still very aromatic. And to top it all of, the decoration is very traditional yet modern.
