Awesome experience and Ken was amazing. Walked through the whole menu with us and gave out customers favorites along with his personal recommendations. They were able to make modifications to our dishes since one friend doesn't do truffle oil and another friend wanted to add a side of mushrooms to his dish. We order a bit too much and was extremely full by the end of our meal. They packed everything for us and all boxes were nicely labeled. Will definitely be back since food and service are great.

Invited friends to celebrate a birthday at Katsumidori. Had a wonderful time overall. We knew the group we invited was not big sushi eaters but took a chance. They enjoyed the fried dishes (karaaage, oyster, tempura) and various sushi rolls. Of course I had my usual tuna deluxe, hotate, uni and unagi which I pretty much had all to myself! Great food, great service and value S always. Still our go to place.

We were there to celebrate our anniversary and we were greeted with well wishes. Our server, Brandon used our name, which is something I truly believe is incredibly professional. He then explained the menu and their options. When asked, he recommended cocktails, and gave us his opinion on The menu choices for the four course dinner we each selected. He read our table and understood. We were not in a rush, but they are to enjoy a dining experience so our courcess came out paced accordingly. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great dining experience with excellent food great service and a wonderful way to spend our 20th anniversary.
