Luke Walton's Best of SoCal

Know something we don't?
A busy hub on a nondescript stretch of Ventura Blvd., Katsu-Ya specializes in flavorful takes on classic sushi and sashimi dishes.
Sushi dressed up with hot chiles, crispy onions and splashes of ponzu is a phenomenon launched by Nobu Matsuhisa at Matsuhisa way back in the '80s. His style has influenced almost every sushi chef in L.A., certainly the ones intent on capturing the trendy crowd that dines often and expensively. Katsuya is no exception.
One of Katsuya's best-known dishes is seared albacore covered with wiry, fried onion threads and sunk in a lake of ponzu.
Vegetarians can order quite a good meal, picking a little from various categories. The sushi roll list includes a vegetarian option, and the robata kitchen grills shiitake mushrooms, potatoes or other vegetables over that hardwood fire.
