 If you're looking for the scene, a place where gossip columnists rub elbows with film studio hotshots, (the building is, after all, the headquarters for Miramax films), and Hollywood starlets challenge supermodels to see who can suck down more sushi, there is no better choice than Katana. Combine the design talents of Dodd Mitchell with the creative minds behind Sushi Roku and you get this hotspot on the Sunset Strip. The multi-roomed space satisfies those that want hustle and bustle for a first date and those that prefer quiet on the outside patio dominating Sunset Boulevard in this ’20s Deco building. You may also elect to sit at the sushi or robata---specialty of the house---bars. Speaking of robata, they use a special binchotan wood charcoal that's imported from the Wakayama province to give your precious skewers a distinctive smoky flavor: foie gras wrapped in sirloin, miso-marinated shrimp. It might take you a couple of tries to master the comprehensive menu, but offerings of house-specialized scallop or crab rolls will tantalize your tongue and fill up your belly delicately. The concept here is to think small bites, call it Japanese tapas if you will. The space is dark and service a bit inconsistent but do still consider coming in to let the good times roll. This place rocks. |
