Since then we have had the privilege of eating at some amazing places all across the world including many Michelin starred restaurants. When we came back to Appleton, we wanted to try this place again to see if we still thought it was good. It is. It's not the best sushi I've ever had but it is more than passable for a place in Appleton WI. Bit too much rice in the nigiri but fish was generally very good. Uni wasn't as delicious as other places in bigger cities but again, for where it is, it's very good!

There's limited options when it comes to sushi in the area so Katsu-ya definitely fills that gap…read more Service is quick if you're dining in the sushi only area. I can't speak for their habachi as I've never tried it. The inside is huge with tables nicely spaced out. I don't eat fish but my veggie rolls were amazing. My boyfriend says this is his favorite sushi so I trust his word that it's good!

I believe this restaurant has been rebranded, but I think the locals will always call it TJ's. I…read morewas very excited to see the hibachi was open again. I believe it has been closed since COVID. The waitress was very polite. She took our drink orders and made a great suggestion. We also had Sushi and hibachi. The sushi was very good, made fresh, and incredibly flavorful. There are even a couple new rolls in the menu. The only downside to the sushi is that three of us ordered and it all came in one platter. This is fine at a table, but inconvenient at the grill. The chicken hibachi was done well. The chef did the normal show. One thing I liked was that he added a bit of garlic to the fried rice. Nice touch. Portions were large and even had some to take home. Overall a good visit.

Love their sushi. I get the veggie rolls. Sweet potato and AAC. They are delish. 10/10 recommend.read more

I was introduced to this place 6 years ago. I was starting a new job and was here with a peer from…read moreCalifornia(I am from Florida). We were told this was the best sushi the person who reffered us had ever eaten. Challenge accepeted! We both agreed it was excellent sushi and I have been back every time I have been in Appleton since, except when they were closed due to Covid. This time I was there with a different co worker. We decided to order Tuna Tartare and 3 rolls. We had the popper roll, dragon roll and another that I cannot remember the name of. Each was different but equally good. We also had a salad, your typical japanese salad with ginger dressing. The dressing was better than most. The rolls are huge, I don't know how someone without a big mouth can eat a piece. 3 rolls and the tartare was more than enough for the 2 of us. I have to say that this is in fact the best sushi I have eaten throughout the U.S.

The only thing that kept me tethered to reality as I was abusing my body was the Pokémon anime show on the televisions. My heart was mended as Totodile, Cyndaquil, and Chikorita melted Meowth's icy heart with a warm island song and used teamwork and the power of friendship to escape the cave that was being blocked by a large sleepy Snorlax. Even though Meowth ultimately betrayed the beloved trio, the overall message of kindness prevailed. Britney Spears on the radio was a nice touch also. Great restaurant, would recommend.

I appreciated the rangoons having a good amount of filling, too. Then got the thong kotsu and the shio ramen. These dishes warmed my SOUL.

Feels a little cold and unfinished, but easy to forgive with the delicious food.

The pork eggrolls were extremely crispy and the filling was delicious, their pork buns are out of this world. The bun was super fluffy and the pork had amazing texture and flavor. I can't wait to come back here and try more items off the menu (granted it'll be hard to order anything else since what I had was so great)! This is such a wonderful little gem, just YUM on every level.
