Katsu-Ya of Japan

Went to celebrate the holidays, and had a great dinner. We ordered the hibachi which started with the soup and salad, and both were very good. Next the chef prepared shrimp, which I've never been a big fan of, but it was actually pretty good when accompanied with the sauces. Then the main dish was prepared along with the theatrics which our grandsons really enjoyed, though the youngest was a little frightened when the fire flared. The steak I ordered was very good, and each entree was cooked to order. My partner had the salmon, which she said was very good. The vegetables and mushrooms were also really tasty. Desert was ice cream, with a choice of vanilla or orange sherbet. The vanilla was good, and the sherbet was very tangy. We really enjoyed the meal and would definitely return.

In town for a great UMCVB conference!Decided to head over next door and enjoy some late dinner. It was amazing. The shrimp tempura was so delicate. The dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. Filet and hanger steak was out of this world and so tender. Rice perfectly cooked and the sushi was a marriage of flavors and textures. The service was top knotch! He was attentive without being over bearing and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Many thanks from Discover Ames!

Met with some friends for happy hour and it was amazing! Love the sushi rolls. Great service and a nice atmosphere.

Met here with some of the young families constituents on spy weapons and spy gear. Had a great time with my own colleagues on a work trip. They were from missouri/Arkansas and im from NH / Boston area. Excellent cousine, clean and fresh fish.

The food was AMAZING and the portions were huge. The hibachi chef was friendly and very funny, he matched the vibe of my group. We showed up right when the doors opened at 4, but had to wait for an hour at the bar. We were a large group, but we weren't able to make a reservation. Other than that, the experience was excellent and I'd love to go again.

The service was really good. The only food we actually enjoyed was the sushi. The hibachi was flavorless, the chefs put ginger sauce in the fried rice and it made it so soggy and disgusting the sauce over powered my whole meal, I could not enjoy it, to the point I had to separate the rice from the rest of my food. I was very disappointed especially for the price we paid. Definitely not returning for the hibachi. Such a disappointment especially after waiting an hour and a half for a table.

Had such a great experience; wonderful place for a date night. Loved the grill in the middle of our table and the fun cocktails!
