    Tropical roll

    We popped in here after a long hike, never been before. Literally had the best miso soup ever. Sushi rolls were DELICIOUS! And the presentation was beautiful. 10/10 recommend. Also, the atmosphere was super clean and cozy. The booths are nice and private.

    Worst customer service ever...(if ur Caucasian)

    Worst customer service ever. They concentrate more on take out orders and not the restaurant customers. Very disappointed

    Excellent service and quiet restaurant to stop by for a meal. They have lunch bento box specials and have rolls on for special prices. Good amount of food for the price.

    Ordered an avocado roll, and most of it was made with brown/rotten avocado..ummm...no thanks!!

    Low quality fish, dingy interior and worst of all, poor rice. There is never an excuse for poor rice no matter what the price tag.

    It seems more of a take out restaurant as we saw a number of customers pick up their orders.

Menu: Chawan mushi - steamed egg custard with vegetable(bean, shimeji mushroom) and seafood(shrimp and slice of fish) Ankimo - Monkfish Liver with seasonal seafood(scallop and shrimp) Grilled black cod, with saikyo miso and marinated blue fin tuna and cooked egg. Tenpura - seafood (slice of fish, seafood stuffed vegetable and vegetable(shiitake) 9 pieces of sushi Daily miso soup - clam Dessert - kinako and mitarashi dango Chawan mushi was great. I can taste fish based broth and egg custard was very silky and smooth. Decent amount of ingredients sush as shrimp, slice of fish , bean and shimeji mushroom. I wish they served it slightly cooler than too hot. Ankimo - Great item. Monkfish liver was rich and paired with scallop and shrimp so well. Sauce was just ok. Grilled black cod was another great item. Crispy and juicy, just perfectly done. Blue fine tuna was covered by salty marinated sauce which was great when wrapped with seaweed. Cooked egg was just ok Tenpura - Seafood stuffed vegetable was my favorite. Others were also decent. Highlight and stand out item was 9 pieces of sushi. Honmaguro(bluefine tuna) was good. Shari(sushi rice) was nicely seasoned with vinegar, very mild and which I liked it. Tuna was delicious. Sea breem(MADAI) was another good piece. Delicious. Aburi Toro was nicely seared. I wish this item could be a bit more softer and buttery, but it was still good. Akaebi(red shrimp) and Hokkaido sea urchin - Lightly torched the top of sea urchin and its smokiness brought out more sweetness flavor of Akaebi(red shrimp) Hokkaido Scallop - Very smooth, soft and nice texture. Delicious. Kinmedai(Gold eye snapper) -- My favorite. Texture was very soft and chewy, It was great item. Hokkaido sea urchin - Actually, this one was just ok. I wish it could be more creamy. Unagi - One of the best item. It was so fluffy and soft right after chef cooked and served. This is a must try item. Daily miso soup with clam - I can taste fish broth (dashi) flavor so well. Clam was delicious. It was good. Dessert - Kinako coated mitarashi dango -It was nicely chewy and soft. I wish there were more sauce on it. Overall, it worth visiting this place. The only problem is that so hard to get a reservation. Hopefully, I can get next reservation, may be next year.

We love Japanese cuisine so I decided to surprise the hubby with an omakase for his birthday in January. Unfortunately, they have a 6-month wait and I was not prepared so I ended up booking it for our anniversary in May. The food was phenomenal and delicious! I love the chawanmushi loaded with goodies inside. The ankimo (monkfish liver) dish was so tasty with the scallop and prawn. Black cod was cooked to perfection! The nigiris are all so fresh. We quickly put ourselves on the waiting list for after September so we can come here again soon! There's a parking lot just next door. The place inside is small and intimate. Service is great!

    I recently dined at The Katsu Japanese Cutlet House and came away genuinely impressed by both the…read morequality of the food and the overall experience. The restaurant has a cozy, no-frills interior with dark wood tables and a casual, welcoming atmosphere. It's not a place that tries to be trendy or upscale--instead, it focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well, and that's serving perfectly executed katsu. The space can get busy, which is always a good sign, but the service remains efficient and friendly without feeling rushed. I started with the Assorted Katsu, which is easily the best choice if you want to experience the full range of what they offer. The plate was generously portioned, featuring pork, chicken, fish, and shrimp katsu alongside rice, shredded cabbage salad, pickles, and dipping sauces. The standout here is the texture--the panko coating is incredibly crisp, light, and airy without feeling greasy. Each type of katsu had its own distinct character: the pork was juicy and rich, the chicken tender and moist, the fish delicate and flaky, and the shrimp firm with a satisfying bite. The tonkatsu sauce added a sweet and savory depth, while the creamy dressing complemented both the meat and the cabbage perfectly. I also tried the Kimchi Cheese Katsu Nabe, which was a completely different but equally enjoyable experience. Served bubbling in a hot stone bowl, it combined crispy katsu with a tangy, slightly spicy kimchi broth and a generous layer of melted cheese. The contrast of flavors was excellent--the kimchi brought brightness and heat, while the cheese added richness and balance. As the katsu soaked in the broth, the outer layer softened slightly but still retained enough texture, while the inside remained juicy. It's definitely a heavier dish, but incredibly comforting and satisfying. One element that really stood out was the cabbage salad. Finely shredded and topped with a light creamy dressing, it provided a refreshing crunch that balanced out the richness of the fried dishes. It might seem simple, but it plays an essential role in keeping the meal from feeling overwhelming. Paired with the warm rice, pickles, and soup, everything comes together as a well-rounded set rather than just a plate of fried food. Overall, this place delivers exactly what you want from a katsu restaurant: consistently crispy cutlets, generous portions, and thoughtful balance in every meal. While the interior is simple and it can get busy, the food more than makes up for it. I would absolutely recommend trying the Assorted Katsu for variety and the Kimchi Cheese Katsu Nabe if you're in the mood for something rich and bold. It's a spot I'll definitely be returning to.

    We've been talking about this place for months, and finally took the plunge. Pretty glad we did,…read morebut will have to learn more before our next visit. The space is understandably understated especially during the Christmas season. Totally ok with the lack of the holiday. We were sat quickly, water dropped right away. It's larger than we thought with two separate areas which would be great if you had a large party. Knowing little about the experience we ordered the mixed Katsu experience and the cheese Katsu, understanding as we always do that we will share the food. The cheese Katsu said right on the menu one order per table, which now makes sense. Eating four pieces of it is just simply too much cheese, so plan on one half per person, hence the one per table. The mixed Katsu had, prawn, fish, chicken and pork portions which were very tasty and a good quantity. Both came with accompanying salad and rice which rounded out the meal. The salad was excellent and the rice was well cooked. We will be back for sure, hopefully with more folks so we can experiment more.

Everything was cold. I know I eat in stages I've been here before, but we were very disappointed. The mustard sauce has changed flavors. It's not as good as it used to be. it doesn't even taste like mustard sauce anymore.They just use 1000 island dressing on their salad which is different as well. The chairs are falling apart and too low for the table you're sitting at, the windows are greasy. It's just crazy. The whole restaurant seems to have gone downhill. The only thing that was great was the chef himself. He was polite and very talented. $150.00 was spent & all we could think of is we could've had a really good meal somewhere else.

The food was immediately started and we had to eat one thing at a time so it didn't go cold while the rest was cooking the second the chef was done the waitress was trying to clear whatever plates she could and within 10 minutes she had to go boxes put by our plate. The whole experience lasted less than an hour before our bill was presented for $120 not including tip. We were never asked if we wanted another drink or how the meal was. My friend drove over an hour from North Van, and there was no chance to socialize before he had to go back. The food was good no complaints with that, but it was a terrible experience.

Sushi Luna should be in the discussion for one of the best in Langley, and that is saying a lot. We wandered in after lunch for sure and had the place to ourselves pretty much. Indonesian be the case after you've been there once or twice. We were quickly sat, and very well cared for, but not overwhelmingly so. Being the only patrons, they could have been a little too attentive, but we were left to ourselves, save water glass fill up, a big thing in our water filled world. The space is quite cool, simple, attentive, and yet the seats that look not inviting were comfortable and supportive. The menu was unusual for us bento box lovers, yet we ordered with some unknown and enjoyed every dish. Outside our comfort zone a bit, but would most certainly go back and experience the menu and the great hospitality again. Check it out.
