Katana

Nice hole in the spot for a quick bite. Food has nice flavor even though its cheap ingredients. Staff is nice but slow. Sushi took a while but was tasty, though we found a piece of plastic in our food. I like that this place is open when no other sushi place is. Overall its fine but there is a reason for the average review score.

This is a no frills hole in the wall. However the food is excellent. The family that owns this Hibachi restaurant also work at it. The older gentleman is the only Ive ever seen doing the show and cooking. The lady works the register and sushi bar. They once in awhile have a younger man or woman helping. Most likely there children or grandchildren. I order from them all the time for delivery. I go there a few times a year in person for special occasions.

I’ve had the privilege to dine at a number of hibachi restaurants and I’m sorry to report that this has got to be my least favorite ever. Aside from the decor and service the food was a total disaster. Our clear soup had a weird taste and the salad was extremely plain. The salad dressing tasted like straight up mayonnaise. We were also very disappointed with our entrees. Since when is fried rice just rice, egg and soy sauce? The veggies were completely tasteless and the proteins were very bland. Don’t get me wrong the staff tried very hard but even that was lacking especially since we were the only customers in the joint. The best thing about our food was the sushi rolls. In my opinion don’t waste your time or money here.

Katana is open until 10pm & stopped in for a late night snack! Service was friendly at the sushi bar!! The Miso was hot & full of flavor. My Christmas Tree Roll was so good, as was the Shumai appetizer! Friend enjoyed the Sashimi appetizer & chef's Spicy Couple roll with spicy crab, seaweed salad, spicy tuna on top. Will have to return earlier for HIBACHI!!

Mid. My fiancée wanted Chinese and we decided on hibachi. I’ve lived in Norfolk for 6y now and haven’t been to one in this city so Ghent and Katana was the closest (and also still open at 7p on a Sunday). First, the place is filthy. The walls have never been washed. Worse the surrounds of the grill have food and are full of gummy dry sauces. The waiter confirmed I wanted fried rice three times which, for the extra $2, we got to split an egg (more to follow). Soup was standard warm and tasty. The salad was iceberg and sauce, no other veg in there. Chef comes out and is dressed nicely so that’s a plus. He confirmed everyone’s order and got to work. His flare wasn’t flaring. He went through the moves as a necessity instead of adding pizzaz or fun antics you usually see during hibachi. He
