Katsuya Keeps Expanding

Four locations and counting, that's the tune SBE is singing when it comes to their hip Japanese eatery Katsuya. Katsuya, a collaboration between Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi and designer Philippe Starck has been a big hit in it's Cali locations of Brentwood, Hollywood, Downtown and Glendale. It only makes sense for Sam Nazarian to expand his ever growing empire. The new Katsuya will be will be opening later this year in the old Hush space in Laguna Beach with the same concept as all other Katsuya locations. Menu prices range from $5 to $35 and diners can choose from wide variety of sushi, tempura, seafood and meat entrees. Katsuya Laguna Beach will be located at 858 S. Coast Hwy, formerly the Hush Lounge, south of downtown Laguna. The restaurant, expected to open June 15, will offer indoor and outdoor seating. For Katsuya NYC, although there are no confirmations we hear that the restaurant may open in Midtown.

Jay Z And Usher Hit Katsuya

Jay Z and Usher had a boys night out last night when the Hip Hop duo hit Hollywood hotspot Katsuya for some grub. Katsuya is hot because it brings in all of Hollywood’s finest and it doesn’t hurt that the food is A M A Z I N G.

From the rock shrimp tempura to the mozzarella/ crab tempura, we salivate just thinking out it! Not only is Katsuya a hot spot for dinner but a great place for lunch as well. On any given day, you can bump into Dave Navarro and Hilary Duff in the middle of the day.

The best part of lunch at Katsuya is you can get the best quality food for less. Nevertheless if you want to do some star sighting, hang out at the bar in the evening, our preferred drink is the watermelon and cucumber mojito.

Stars Flock To Katsuya Restaurant In Hollywood


A new restaurant opens it's doors practically every week in Hollywood, but this new one we are gonna talk about is worth trying. Singer Christina Milian was spotted at Katsuya this past weekend and Nicole Richie recently had a private baby shower with pal Samantha Ronson.

Besides the star power, what makes this sushi joint above all others? First off, the sushi is amazing! The chef's famous spicy tuna on crispy rice and the rock shrimp tempura are to die for! But the best part is the unique selection of drinks, our favorite is the watermelon/ cucumber mojito, which is one of a kind.

French designer fantastique Philippe Starck has definitely created a cool joint for all the Hollywood hipsters to hang out at the bar or chow down on a good Japanese feast. Katsuya is apart of the ever-growing SBE Entertainment Group and when you’re done eating, hop over next door to S bar.
