Welcome to Sushi Katsu-Ya...

Since opening its doors in 1997, Sushi Katsu-Ya has become one of the most popular and critically acclaimed sushi restaurants in California. Continuously celebrated by the Zagat restaurant guide for the last six years in a row, Sushi Katsu-Ya is the vision and artistry of owner/chef Katsuya Uechi. Born in Okinawa, Japan, Katsuya Uechi began his career as a chef at the Harbor View Hotel in Okinawa. Twenty two years ago he moved to Los Angeles and began a string of chef residencies (including AKIO SUSHI in Thousand Oaks, SEAWARD SUSHI & KABUKI SUSHI in North Ridge.) Katsuya Uechi opened his first Sushi Katsu-Ya location in STUDIO CITY, CA. in 1997.

Although continuously noted as being a favorite among Hollywood's elite, Sushi Katsu-Ya earned its remarkable reputation on the quality and the attention to detail in every dish. The MENU ranges from eclectic specials to premium traditional sushi with various favorites in between. A true originator, Katsuya Uechi continued his unassuming sushi empire by conceptualizing all aspects of KOI restaurant on La Cienega in Los Angeles in 2002.

In 2004, Katsuya Uechi opened his second Los Angeles location in ENCINO, CA. Currently, Katsuya Uechi is planning his third Los Angeles location to open this winter. Ask around and you won't find many people who don't revere Sushi Katsu-Ya as their favorite sushi spot.
