This place is our neighborhood Japanese restaurant. It has a huge menu with some things on it I don't understand but seem interesting, and many many things I do like (and understand). It is not high brow but very good "comfort" style Japanese. And everything...More

Love Katana-ya. I have been here multiple times and I am always pleased. The menu is a large but after a few visits I am sure you will go right to your favorites. Everything is great; the sushi, the ramen, the bentos, the tempuras, everything!...More

I love this place. They have the best Japanese food around. I often order the dinner special A. It has teriyaki chicken, rice, California rolls and I get vegetable tempura. Delicious. It comes with salad and miso soup. I can never eat it all.

This is one of our local favorites for Japanese- ramen, sushi, and even bento boxes. Very large menu with lots of options and daily sushi specials posted on a white board. Reasonably priced for Japanese food and very tasty!

An extensive menu has something for everyone. From sushi to noodles you won't be disappointed. A great place for a reasonable price.

Katana-ya is a great neighborhood find if your in the mood for Japanese cusine. They have an extensive menu plus the freshest sashimi and sushi in the El Cerrito/Richmond area. Service is fast and efficient plus the prices are reasonable for this type of restaurant.
