Katsuya South Beach

One of the best meals I've ever had. We went off the Miami Spice 2024 menu ($60 per person for a selection of appetizer, main course, and dessert) plus an add-on of their brussels sprouts. The meal was exceptional, and every flavor was mouthwatering delicious. Nestled in the corner of the SLS hotel on South Beach, it has a simple yet attractive ambience. Chef Katsuya invented the crispy rice, which is a lightly pan fried sushi rice topped with a piece of tuna and avocado. The miso glazed black cod is one of the best meals I've ever ever had. It is melt in your mouth delicious having been marinated for more than 24 hours in a brown sugar and miso sauce. Not only would I recommend it to anyone, but I will be craving it for years to come.

Went with another couple on a recent Saturday evening, 9/14/24. Don't live on the Beach, and well not worth going to even if you live on the Beach, unless you just go to the bar if Adam is bartending. He is really good. The restaurant for food so-so. Did enjoy the Truffle Ponzu Ceviche. However the tuna on the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was very weird. Their "signature" Black Cod was pretty bad.We should've stayed just at the bar with Adam helping us.

Beautiful place in the SLS hotel Food was ok , drinks are amazing and the service is great We always like this restaurant back in LA Can't not to pay attention to the big mold on the ac Makes everything feel so badPlease clean it

We had a fabulous date night at Katsuya. The service was amazing, great vibes (we loved the music) and pretty nice sushi selection. Although we were in a date night we tend to take our children to nicer restaurants, I saw a few families so I'd say around the time we went (early evening) it appeared to be pretty family friendly. We will definitely be back. Only bad thing was the bathrooms. They were terrible!! I'll spare the details but I mentioned it to the manager and it was quickly addressed. The bathrooms are shared with the hotel so not all on the Katsuya staff

Absolutely. That's what I'd be saying if you asked if I recommend Katsuya. This was such a beautiful dinner; the food, the atmosphere, the hospitality. These dishes had me acting a little dramatic every time I'd put the first bite in my mouth. Acting like I'd never tasted good food before. But I was in disbelief. I had tried a few dishes from Katsuya in the past, but they were not near as good as the ones I tried this round. They were out of most of the nigiri/sashimi options. I can't remember if we went on a tue or wed, but they said their weekly shipments come in on Thursday. (Don't quote me on that as they may have changed their shipment date) Sorry for the red light district photos lol!!

A+ happy hour! Delicious and affordable bites, sushi, crispy rice, miso soup, and all craft cocktails are %50 off! Mondays are locals and industry night where you can get up to 50% off!! Delicious. Staff are attentive and quick, Filippo was amazing and he just finished his training!!!! 10/10

Great happy hour! Cocktails are half off during happy hour and they have a special food menu too. The jaja picante cocktail has the perfect mix of cilantro and spice from the Serrano peppers...had to order a second one! The short rib fried rice was the winning dish. Would not recommend the truffle fatty tuna crispy rice appetizer...the butter from frying the rice was overpowering and the tuna was way too ground up and didn't seem fresh. Service barside was exceptional!

Well the most important part: the food was absolutely delicious. We started with crispy rice, continued on to a couple different nigiri rolls (the amaebi which was deep sea shrimp was our favorite one, the madai or fish definitely had a fishier taste but still very buttery). We had the chicken fried rice as well, Im a big texture person and the shaved cabbage was such a great addition. We also had some of the hokkaido scallop tiradito, which was thinly sliced and sitting in a lovely , citrusy zest to it.by far though: our favorite dish was the short rib sliders which were in bao buns, they marinade it for 24 hours and you can absolutely tell. The server was great as well and actually recommended about half the things we ordered so thanks so much for that!

Maybe we should have stayed away from the happy hour menu, but the items we ordered from both happy hour and dinner menu were mediocre for me. I might be spoiled because I live in Vegas and the neighborhood mid-tier places are better.We got the short rib fried rice, crispy rice salmon, sashimi moriawase, a couple other plates, and dessert. Honestly, nothing stood out and even the dessert was disappointing. My strawberry shortcake had Talenti sorbet and it just didn't feel up to the standards of a fancy dessert. The sashimi quality was that of a mid-tier place (referencing Vegas standards again).Out of the hyped sushi fusion places in Miami, I suggest Nobu because it's a similar price point with more imaginative dishes and better quality.Katsuya wasn't all mediocre- the servers were absolutely excellent and the ambiance was amazing. I'd just recommend tempering your expectations for the food quality.

We did Miami Spice, everything was delicious. We ordered crispy rice, appetizer ribs, wagyu, tuna nigiri, and deserts. Everything had such rich flavor! Our drinks were phenomenal too. We ordered lychee martini, espresso martini, a dirty martini, and their old fashion. Felipo (the bartender) made them perfectly!
