Foodie Buddie Dinner for Two @ KATANA SUSHI – Turlock, CA $85 This visit would have been an easy 5 ⭐ if not for the delay—we waited about 35 minutes for our food due to staffing and the chef “running behind,” even though there were only three other tables seated. That said, the experience overall was excellent. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff were kind, and the food was worth the wait. I went with my foodie buddie; my daughter, and here’s what we ordered: Nigiri (Chef’s Choice): All three available items—salmon, tuna, and hamachi. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Salmon Teriyaki: Generous portion—easily enough for two people. The salmon was tender, flaky, and savory, paired with sticky rice and a crisp house salad. The mashed potatoes were not my favorite, so I’ll substitute next time. Spicy Tuna Hand Roll: My daughter ordered this one and loved it—I didn’t get a chance to try it myself. Overall: great people, great atmosphere, and really great food. Parking available no issues. Definitely planning to return and try more items across the menu. Will update after a few more visits!

I've been to this place when it was under a different name and I believe ownership. I don't know the details, but Katana Sushi was really good. Food was good and service was great. The atmosphere was a vibe and I loved it. The menu has many selections to choose from and the price is reasonable for what you're getting. Overall a great experience.

Absolutely amazing experience every time! Brandon always recommends the best food ever—seriously, every dish he suggests is spot on. He even recommended a Milk Maid with his own special twist, and it was amazing (and I never really drink)! He’s always here when we come in and never fails to make the experience even better. 100% recommend Katana Sushi, especially if Brandon is your person!

We visited Katana for my daughter's 17th birthday. The food was excellent. Service was a little slow but courteous. The door to the patio had a broken spring, so every time the front door was opened, the patio door opened slightly and slammed shut again. This was a little annoying as we were seated right next to that door. Prices are on the higher side, so definitely a 'special occasion' place, but the food was worth it.
