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.

This is kind hidden place to eat good Japanese food. Actually inside Japanese food market. All fishes are so fresh and very reasonable‼️ I order one omakase sushi and few A la carte. They thought we share, so cut 2 pieces. I wasn’t that hungry, so I couldn’t order that much. I must go back soon because I wanted try more different food, too😋 2 Japanese lady servers are very kind and friendly. They treat us as family💓
