We were amazed! We came since we drove by this town and my little baby was crying due to hunger, so we had to get something to eat and so try this place out. Did not even read any reviews before coming here, nor any research. It really was a spot that has good parking lot, right here on the spot for us. Well, so so so glad we chose this place! Once we got in, we were greeted and seated quickly. They got us the highchair immediately without us asking, which is great. Server is so nice and attentive to our baby to make sure he's happy. We ordered, didn't even wait long, our food was here! The portion was bigger than we thought, the food plating is nice, and it tastes really good! We got a bento box, a dragon roll and ramen to share. Ramen is standard, but the bento box and dragon roll were great. All items were cooked well and presented well. Tempura was light and crisp which is similar to the Japan quality standard. Overall, all food was good and we were pleasantly surprised for such family style restaurant to have this level of quality! We barely finished everything since it's a lot of food. Server came a few times with more napkins and offered new plates since the baby is quite messy. She even said bye before leaving for her break to let us know another server will assist us. I have nothing but great things about this place! They made us feel joy eating with our baby and not worried about cleaning up and getting messy. Overall I would love to support as a regular if I live around here! I recommend everyone to come try their sushi rolls or their bento box. read more

This restaurant has became my favorite sushi place. The most special part of "Chef Special" was that he created this roll based on our previous order plus his secret touch, so we would love. The employees here are fantastic. Very beautiful and exquisite restaurant. I am a regular! read more

Ample food options and combo at more afforable prices compared with other Japanese restos. Check out their specials and lunch offerings before placing your order. The combo box lunch was filling. The spicy soup, forgot the name, was great too! Superb soup base and generous meat serving. Location within not-so-busy mall area with enough free parking spaces. Not sure when they ever get busy but they do have a bar too. After-meal candies available for kids and adults. LOL. read more

I will start out by saying we were greeted at the door & the lighting was nice. We were the only people in the restaurant. The music was terrible. It was loud & some new pop rap. The server was nice. We ordered hibachi (big mistake). The seaweed salad substitute was $4 more. Weird because the price difference between the "green salad" & "seaweed salad" was less than $3. The "green salad" was gross. It was some white crunchy chunks of iceberg lettuce with one wrinkled cherry tomato & one slice of cucumber with an enormous amount of orange salad dressing. The miso soup was the only good thing at the restaurant. The hibachi chicken came out looking bad. It looked like they took a frozen bag of teriyaki chicken, warmed it up, & served it over vegetables. The texture of the chicken was bad. Some pieces of chicken & vegetables were cold. The "fried rice" wasn't even good. When I brought up the chicken & vegetables being cold the server got the manager. The manager had an attitude the second she got there. She was like, "I know it's not cold. We made it fresh here". She took the plate & walked off. She didn't ask if there was something else she could do for me. She didn't offer to make a new dish. She didn't apologize. She took it & stormed off. At that point it was time to go. We paid for our soup & salads & left. I will never go back there again. The food was not even mediocre. It was not even edible. Someone I know said their ramen was good. Maybe it is. I will not go back to try it though due to the managers attitude & the poor quality of food I was served. read more

Katana Sushi & Ramen - The "fried rice" and chicken hibachi w/vegetables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

We were seated right away for our Saturday evening meal. We ordered an appetizer, soup, sushi and hibachi. All items came out fresh and at the appropriate temperature. The staff were friendly. The sauce for the hibachi could have been a bit more seasoned. Overall the ambiance was great! read more

Delicious!! Just moved back into the area and we wanted to find our official sushi place. We went into here not knowing what to expect but we were well surprised. The location is convenient and the restaurant was really nice inside. The waitress was quick and so was the service. As for the sushi, it was really good! The seaweed on the rolls weren't chewy, the sashimi was Very fresh! And the variety of choices were creative. We ate the food so fast that I didn't even get to take a picture of it! Highly recommended! Hope to catch me back and try their ramen next! read more

My husband and I came here for a lunch date yesterday. The sever was very attentive. We ordered the snow bros sushi special, a chicken teriyaki lunch box, and a sushi lunch special. The snow bros sushi was four very large pieces you would have to break into pieces to eat. The teriyaki lunch box was ok. The chickens teriyaki sauce was kind of bland as well as the fried rice. The California roll was definitely bland as well. My husband ordered sashimi because we didn't see nigiri but apparently this establishment uses sushi and nigiri synonymously...so that was confusing. Overall it was an ok food food. I don't think we would go out of our way to come here. read more

Very good sushi. My new goto spot. My only ask is they play some music. I don't care to hear everyone's conversation at other tables/booths. It really takes away from the dining experience. TVs are on with no sound. Maybe I will bring a Bluetooth speaker. Bottom line, good sushi. #PLAYMUSIC read more

The lunch menu substantial and very generous portions. I had the lunch box combo with the Beef Negimaki. So Good! The service was exceptional. The restaurant was tastefully decorated. I am only in town for training and I am going to miss this place. read more

Is a chain sushi/Asian food restaurant. Good enough. We've only done carry out so I do t have much more to say. Staff is super friendly!

Sushi and appetizers excellent, good service and very friendly. We really enjoyed the grilled calamari

Prior to Katana we only had one good sushi place in town but now we have two. These guys are going to give the other place (not even open fir dine in yet) a run fir their money!! Expansive menu with plenty of selections. We trued several items and everything was fresh and tasty. Plenty of seating and they have a full bar. read more

Katana Sushi & Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

We love Katana Sushi for the variety and excellent sushi. Their Udon and Ramen is wonderful. I sometimes get the chicken pad Thai. Of course the Sushu is excellent! Their special rolls are very creative and tasty. We find the atmosphere to be very cozy and we are buying takeout. Give Katana Sushi and Ramen a try. read more

Well, we do love eating at Katana! It's refreshing to have something new to eat in Westminster, that's in a clean & nicely decorated restaurant. The sushi is pretty good, the ramen is tasty & the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is usually busy, but a table usually comes along pretty quickly. The wait staff seems to change a lot, so the service depends on who you get. The sushi is always fresh & tasty though! As for now, we'll give it 5-Stars! Let's hope they keep up the good work! read more

I come here all the time. It's my favorite place to come with friends on a Saturday night, or with family for a Sunday lunch! The food is consistently well-done, and I've enjoyed everything I've ordered here. My personal favorites are the ramen, shrimp tempura roll, and the teriyaki chicken lunch box combo. The atmosphere is super cool, and it's always clean. The staff are always super friendly and sociable; I'll always remember the first time I went there and the waitress insisted on packaging my leftover ramen in separate containers (noodles in one cup, broth in the other) so that the noodles didn't get soggy. I never would have thought about that, and the care taken with it was really impressive. The portions are large, the drinks are great. I really can't recommend this restaurant enough. read more

I went here today and order hibachi lunch, my fried Rice didn't look fried at all, my hibachi steak and Shrimp lacked flavor. I will not be returning. The haru maki rolls were good! read more

During a recent "bachelor" period, I decided to treat myself to an Asian dinner and homed in on a local establishment, Katana Japanese Cuisine (410 Meadow Creek Drive #103, Westminster, MD 21158). The facility was easily located in the Shoppes at Meadow Creek, with its ample parking. The restaurant interior was decorated in a traditional, yet chic, Japanese fashion, which contributed to an enjoyable culinary and cultural experience. Owners Xiu Chen and her sister, Fen Chen, made me feel very comfortable, immediately upon taking a seat at the sushi bar. Waitress Jennifer made sure I was positively engaged in the experience during the entire stay. Xiu, who arrived in the U.S. 20 years ago from Fugian, China, explained the locations of the family-owned restaurant: Mt. Airy (8 years of operation), Baltimore (2 years of operation) and Westminster (6 months of operation). To begin the meal, I was provided with an appetizer of the Spicy Red Snapper, which consisted of a perky filet wrapped in a crab roll and covered in spicy, red/green chutney sauce. This was accompanied by a bowl of the traditional Miso soup and a hot pot of green tea. For my main entree, I selected the Toro Special Roll. Fresh cucumber slices were rolled inside a spicy fillet of fatty, belly tuna and sectioned into eight delectable pieces for satisfying consumption. At the behest of the staff, I closed out my meal with an order of the Christmas Roll. This combination of fresh avocado and spicy tuna, salmon and yellowtail was covered in roe and a spicy sauce, then wrapped in light, soy paper. The filling meal was delicious and accompanied by great conversation. I highly recommend this Asian gem to local residents and people passing through the Seat of Carroll County, Maryland! read more

Absolutely disgusted. Paid $30 for sushi to only open it to see they shoved 24 fucking pieces in one small ass container. Shits falling apart and it's not even that tasteful. You wanna waste your money? Katana is your place. Will NEVER RETURN. read more

Was a little nervous when q5 rolled into town but rest assured this is still easily my go to. Everything is excellent. I love the servers, the food and the time it takes for me to have food in my mouth from the moment I walk in the door. I typically get chirashi don or unagi don but love the hibachi, dumpling soup, ramen...actually everything. This place is clean, upscale and I honestly forget I'm in Westminster every time I go there. They mix it up with their "on the house" appetizer and it's a healthier option than what q5/2 has been slinging for years. Great drink options from the bar...wish they had an IPA but I digress. Best/biggest salad of any local Japanese joint. Miso soup is full of kelp and tofu and always steaming hot. The spicy snapper roll for $5.95 is a steal. This place is still the standard. Katana FTW!!! read more

We have been eating here since they opened. Their food is wonderful and consistent. Having lived in Japan for almost 4 years I understand good Asian food and this is it. We have never had a bad meal here and it is one of our favorite local places to eat! We are lucky to have this kind of food in our rural community. read more

This place was pretty good, scenery is nice inside, bathrooms are clean, and the food is great. The vegetables were amazing and the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Waiter was friendly and the whole vibe with the music made it fit the setting, Overall I think it is a good place to eat for a dinner. read more

I googled for nearest ramen since I didn't want to drive all the way to Baltimore. I was so happy to find one in Westminster. The ramen broth was good and the noodles were just right. Sushi was also good, too. I love that there are a lot of choices in their menu. My only sore point would be (probably due to timing) was that the pork I had in my ramen was too lean. I was looking forward to lots of pork belly like the ones in the photos from other Yelpers. Will definitely go back there again to satisfy my ramen cravings! read more

Katana Sushi & Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

I like their sushi very much along with some other dishes. I love that they deliver to me. Definitely recommend!!

I have now been here twice in two days. Once with my mother, wife and child, and today just with my wife. I can not get enough of their Ramen it is so good. I have also had the sushi, and they have some unique sushi that is very well prepared and tasty. However, it's all about the ramen for me. I have had both the spicy and regular Ramen, with chicken and pork. Both where fantastic in their own right that I polished it off both times, leaving nothing left but feeling so warm and satisfied. It's around 10 dollars for a bowl of ramen, but it could easily be enough for two meals for a smaller person or one very filling meal for a bigger person like me. I highly recommend it here as the staff is very friendly, expecially to my child, who was a bit unruly the first time we where here. They did what they could to help us and accommodate us and where always checking up on us. The food came quick and was delicious. Please check out this place if you get a chance. read more

Katana Sushi & Ramen - Out with my wife for the second day in a row, getting Ramen. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

I've gone here twice with a different group of friends each time. Some like the Ramen others like the lunch special on sushi where you can pick 3 rolls for $15. I've loved my food each time, last visit I opted for the lunch box which was more food than I could eat on top my sushi order. The waiter was very patient and helpful even with the slight language barrier. My friends and I had a great time. read more

Katana Sushi & Ramen - Got the lunch box and was pleasantly surprised. It looked lovely and it only cost $11. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

After reading the great reviews, we were excited to grab a late-night dinner here. Unfortunately, Katana didn't live up to its billing. The service was fast and attentive, and the age tofu and miso were fine. The sashimi, however, were not. Some of the pieces were chewy. Others had an odd texture, as if they had thawed incorrectly or had freezer burn. I don't recall ever not finishing sushi before. read more

Is it at the bar and 10/10 I usually end up getting a free appetizer! I love this sushi, it is by far my favorite place to get sushi and best of all right next to the nail salon. Makes for a great day. read more

Amazing amazing great find! Will be back. Service was on point and friendly. Food was fabulous

My wife was taking me here for my birthday. I called to find out what time they closed, and was told 11pm. We drove from Manchester and got there at about 10 after 10. Doors were locked and nobody was inside that I could see. And the hours on the door said they close at 10:30. Still, we were there before then. We get takeout from them fairly frequently but, needless to say, they will not get my business again. read more

I haven't eaten in the restaurant but my friends are regular patrons of dine-in services and have never complained. I ordered their take-out sushi lunch special. The salmon and tuna rolls were really good and fresh, but they were very tiny for the $12 I paid. I feel like they skimped on the fish. Not sure if I'd buy them at the regular dinner prices. I know sushi is expensive, but I might as well buy an entire sashimi tuna block and make triple the amount for the same price. I called to order and everything was ready by the time I picked up. Restaurant looked clean and staff were friendly. read more

Took the family for lunch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The place is tastefully decorated and clean with a friendly staff. I ordered the Ninja roll, the wife and daughter both ordered hot habachi meals. The food was served quickly and came in a very appetizing presentation. What was supposed to be served hot, was. Would gladly return again. Congratulations on bringing a fresh new restaurant to what is usually the barren wastes of Westminster! read more

Love the building and lights! Great service! Amazing food! Recommend the chicken teriyaki's !

We have had all the other sushi places in town and it was like, meh. When I heard about a new place, I was so excited!! We were totally happy with our experience! The decor and feel took me right back to incredible sushi restaurants when I lived in Vegas; modern, chic, and very relaxing. We had veggie tempura, (crispy, hot & wonderful), several rolls, I LOVED the summer roll, chicken, steak and shrimp hibachi (delicious, flavorful & so fantastic!), and a few other items that were amazing. Also, they make delicious mai tais... Very good pour, and divine preparation. We are going back today!!! So excited for this new place to enjoy quality sushi!!! read more

Everything we had was delicious. Gyoza and Veggie tempura was cooked perfectly. Rainbow roll left us wanting more. But we came for the ramen and we were not disappointed. The pork was tasty and the chicken looked like it would be bland but had a wonderful delicate flavor. We'll definitely be back! read more

Love the ramen here! My favorite sushi is probably the Golden Dragon roll. A lot of good appetizers like the calamari and soft shelled crab. I usually just get ramen and sushi, but have tried bites of other dishes when I go with friends and they are all great! Very friendly service. I had a small problem one time, and they were very quick to not only fix it, but take the item off the bill! LOVE it and try to go at least once a week read more

Best Sushi in this area. The service was excellent. Will definitely be back. As per my provided picture, you can see that the presentation is also very inviting. read more

The wife and I stopped in for Lunch one day and we were pleased. I am not a sushi guy but my wife got some crunchy seafood roll and it was great. You may ask for the pink soy bean paper for any roll. I have always enjoyed hibachi and this was no different. Good sauce, and and the chicken was tender and good sized pieces. There is something for everyone to get for those that think they cannot eat at a sushi place. read more

A reasonably priced Sushi restaurant with excellent fresh Sushi in Westminster, MD? Yes, finally. We've been to Katana 3 times and honestly I've ordered the same 2 rolls, they are that good. The Caterpillar and Crazy Tuna rolls are sweet and delicious. Presentation was outstanding. We have ordered the Toro, veggie dumplings as appetizers and each has been well made and tasty. Miso soup is a must and the ginger based dressing on the salad is always good. My wife does not eat Sushi, she gets the veggie tempura and has enjoyed it, not greasy. We have gone 2 weeks days and 1 weekend and the place was packed on the weekend, which is great news. The decor is nice, loved the rotating color lights and the wait staff is pleasant and pretty attentive. No need to travel any longer for good Sushi. My goal is to force myself to try the other rolls, but those 2 are so darn good. read more
