Katsu

Exquisite dining experience at this low-key, quaint omakase restaurant in downtown Mountain View. Small interior is elegantly decorated, and seats only 8 at the bar. Reservations only, no walk-in accepted. The sushi is fresh, tasty, and well-presented. Awesome sake menu! Their key difference is that they serve some hard to find items, not just the typical sushi/sashimi items. Expensive, but worth the splurge for a special occasion. Friendly and attentive service. Plenty of paid and free parking within a 5-minute walk.

Dined here for valentine’s day and we were really impressed with the chef’s skill! Intimate seating with only 8 people + the atmosphere is very authentic - really felt like being back in Japan Overall the meal was fantastic as well. We tried a lot of exotic pieces/dishes that you don’t usually see at a standard omakase. All the nigiris were incredible + they have the sweetest hokkaido uni (highlight of the meal!)

Excellent, a focus on offering more unique items than Yoshizumi which helps it standout while maintaining a high standard. Execution is always great on standard menu and have had great fish here. Just want more and slightly better nigiri

Overall a great omakase experience with high-quality ingredients. I’ve been there twice, and the second time they intentionally changed the menu, which I really appreciated. The fish and other ingredients were fresh and seasonal. I especially like how the chef seasons the food just enough to let the natural flavors shine. The price is reasonable for the quality and experience you get.

One of the pricer meals I've had (300+ after tip+tax), but also one of the best. Some dishes genuinely wowed me (like the monkfish liver) and that made the experience 100% worth it.
