Hidden gem in North Miami Beach. Authentic Japanese food for a more than reasonable price. Cheap AND good.

Miami New TimesAugust 15, 2014Instead of what Western tourists in Japan call a sushi-go-round, where sashimi and rolls ride a conveyor belt that winds by every seat in the restaurant, Katana opts to do à la carte with boats. Read more
Upvote2Downvote- VallyriSeptember 8, 2014My favorite place, authentic too! Must try the spicy tuna, but be prepared to wait a while. It's always packed, and it is a very small place. Don't recomend large parties.Upvote2Downvote
Bit of a wait in the evening but for a very good reason! Great sushi and a unique dining setting. The pricing is also unique as it varies on the color of the plate you pick up. Highly recommend it!UpvoteDownvote
Larry LaBurrJuly 21, 2015Sushi on a boat!!! What's not to like? Be careful not to rack up your own meal by too much, it gets kind of crazy when you're being given this much yumUpvoteDownvote

Noaf AlJanuary 8, 2014Great small sushi place that serves fresh real sushi v traditional the cook is Japanese and disrespectful to speak to him while he is workingUpvoteDownvote
We got there at opening and although we didn't have to wait, the selection was paltry. Next time, we'll go a little later.UpvoteDownvote
Jennifer EvansNovember 1, 2014My favorite sushi place. Watch as your sushi selection sails by on boats and grab what you want.UpvoteDownvote

This place is a poppin' hidden gem forever but if you're dying of hunger, better bring a snack bar because it's a long wait if they're busy.UpvoteDownvote

Charlie305 SouthBeachHookUpMay 13, 2010Super fresh sushi served on multi colored plates from moving boats. Each plate priced differently. Great vibe. Almost always a wait, but well worth it.Upvote2Downvote

Angela SarangoSeptember 17, 2011Freshest sushi this side of the Mississippi !!! And it comes to u in a boat on a river!!!Upvote1Downvote
Sergio AlzateJune 8, 2015WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! We have been to this place a couple of times before, the food is not that great but acceptable for the price, I guess you get what you pay for. Service is horribleUpvoteDownvote
Spicy tuna, spicy crunchy, shumai and gyoza are a goo foundation for a Katana feast.Upvote1Downvote
Get here early. 10 min after they open & you'll be waiting.UpvoteDownvote
The owner couldn't care less if you wait in line for 45 minutes. He takes people in whatever order he feels like it. Don't try to tell him you've been waiting you'll get kicked out!UpvoteDownvote
Martijn RentemaMarch 25, 2010Just keep your eyes on the boats! All the good stuff will sail by while having hot green tea.Upvote1Downvote- My favorite Sushi place in the east coastUpvote3Downvote
Laura SutnickMarch 9, 2013Got food poisoning from here! The place is really dirty and I'm sure they're violating several health codes. The service is also terrible and the waiter was extremely rude. Gross!!!UpvoteDownvote
- Go early. Fills up fast although worth the wait.UpvoteDownvote
