 If you're looking for a scene, Katana is a good choice. Combine the design talents of Dodd Mitchell with the creative minds behind Sushi Roku, and you get this hot-spot on the Sunset Strip. The multi-roomed space satisfies both those that want hustle and bustle inside, and those who prefer quiet on the patio overlooking Sunset Boulevard. You may also elect to sit at the sushi or robata bars. Speaking of robata (the specialty of the house), they use binchotan wood charcoal that's imported from the Wakayama province to give skewers, such as foie gras wrapped in sirloin and miso-marinated shrimp, a distinctive smoky flavor. It might take you a couple of tries to master the comprehensive menu, but offerings of the house-special scallop or crab rolls will satisfy nicely. The concept here is to think small bites, so consider it Japanese tapas. The environs are quite dark and service a bit inconsistent, but it's still fun.
