New owners very friendly and the food, Ramen broth with noodles, pork belly, egg and much more was hot, fresh and really good. Love the neighborhood feel. read more

Nice place good atmosphere and great food selections. Enjoyed different kinds of sushi and everything is so fresh and delicious. Everyone is very friendly. Would definately come back. Highly recommend this place. Thx DR MD read more

I always forget this place is here. The sushi was great. It's a quiet place, about 10 tables. There ingredients were fresh, flavorful. I had sake too. They have a few options. read more

Best Raman around!!! And the owners are great! We showed up 20 minutes before closing, and asked if we could still order and eat at Quarter Up, next door. They were more than happy to help and gave us one of the best meals we have eaten in a while. The Raman is excellent! Rich broth filled with noodles, mushrooms, eggs! We also had a roll and edamame... everything was amazing! read more

Great atmosphere & great sushi. Highly recommended. It's a hole in the wall & worth the find

Walked in on a Saturday night at 8pm. There were open seats and tables but we were basically turned away and told it would be 60-90 minutes to get any food. It's not a huge place, probably only holds about 30 diners. They need to reconsider their service if they can't handle a moderate crowd on a Friday. read more

We went on a friday nite. No wait for a table, which was kinda surprising for a friday. The service was good, even tho the only server seemed to be a little overworked. Compared to most sushi places I've been to, the menu is rather small. Usually, when a menu is this small, the food is mind-blowing. This place wasnt. It was good, bordering on average. Very "safe". Please, dont get me wrong. I'm not complaining. The location is in a cool, older plaza and the prices are fair. Overall, it was average. read more

Some of the fish was subpar, and I had no idea sushi could be dry..?? The Albacore melts in your mouth, but didn't have enough flavor. The rice was dried out and way too sticky, I had to take a sip of water with every bite. Service was good. read more

Best place around Akron for sushi. New owners, but even better than before if you ask me. We always have the same waitress and she really is AWESOME! read more

literally some of the best sushi ive ever had. the dragon roll is amazing. please eat here!!!

3rd time here. Never a disappointment. The chefs are friendly and very skilled. Sit at the countertop, you won't regret it. Sushi is amazing! read more

Sorry but this place has declined. I will not be returning. We went here last night, having not been here since 2011. We did try twice in between but found it closed for the season once and closed for the day another. We could have skipped it last night too. There were two or three tables occupied when we arrived. No one came in after us. We ordered sushi. I ordered miso soup also. The server suggested the special muscle appetizer that my wife then ordered. The soup came right away and was quite good. Then, we waited about an hour! No muscles. The server came over to explain the delay a couple of times but no muscles! Then, finally we got the sushi. No muscles. We had literally just had the last bite of the sushi when she came over to say the chef had just started the muscles! We refused and she suggested we take them to go. We didn't. That could have been excused had the place been packed or others had arrived after us. That was not the case. In addition, the sushi was not like I remember. It was just okay. The construction was also lacking. Nearly all of the pieces fell apart when picking them up with chopsticks. I'm not the best with chopsticks, but this was not my technique. There are better sushi places in this area. read more

I live right around the corner from here love the sushi little expensive but hands down the best sushi ive ever had and ive had a lot of sushi. And the service is amazing btw. read more

I have had many good experiences at Sushi Katsu, mostly because I expect to pay a lot for an authentic experience. I recommend any of the hand rolls, as well as the baked scallop. For a more mainstream or polished restaurant try Kasai in Wadsworth. read more

Sushi Katsu is a small sushi bar that is generally pretty good or slightly better than average. It's almost never very good or very bad. Prices are average for the area. Service can be a problem, the sushi chef is very good but the servers seem to strongly favor regulars at the expense of less frequent customers. AVOID the all-you-can-eat sushi special, because the all-you -can-eat rolls are prepared differently, with a great deal of extra rice, the special turns out to be all-you-can-eat rice wads... read more

Chef Tony is no longer there.... new owners, higher prices, lower quality. We were sorely disappointed & will not be going back

I don't recommend dining inside, but for Akron sushi, it's not bad. It can get pricey in a hurry, tho.

I had heard a friend rave about this place so I was very excited to try it. I got the Schwartzenegger roll which was fantastic, but it was so big I had to eat it in pieces. The freshness of the fish was the absolute best thing here. Probably the highest quality I have ever had. I would go there again to only get Nigiri, but I don't think I'll be getting the rolls again. They were very loosely rolled so they came apart very easily. Also, the sauce used on some was just too salty. I was glad that my friend had told me that it was behind other shops because otherwise I would not have been able to find it. They had 2 TV's on which made the simple atmosphere seem cheap rather than sparse. Overall, Sakura is still my favorite for regular and specialty rolls, but the quality of the fish here was amazing. The owner seemed very nice. read more

Small restaurant in the valley. I've been there once and will not go back. Portions are tiny and the sushi is just sub-par. The sushi chef is the owner i believe and he seems like a nice friendly guy but the food is just not worth it. I got the large sashimi combo when I went there and I was so disappointed in the size of the sashimi. I ended up going to a different restaurant afterwards!! read more

This is my favorite sushi in Akron. I always receive fast, friendly service and great food. Their menu is online, perfect for ordering ahead to pick up. read more

Very cozy place with friendly staff and Tony was talkative and prompt with service. Sushi on par with big chains like sushi rock and wasabi for slightly less cost. Definitely recommend trying it out! read more

I am so glad I tried Sushi Katsu! Being originally from the east coast, I have been somewhat disappointed with the sushi offerings in northeast Ohio. However, I think I found the jackpot with Sushi Katsu: Fresh fish, affordable food, and friendly service! We went on a Saturday night to get their sashimi special, which is approximately half off. Chef Tony has a LOT of experience making sushi, and it is quite apparent. The restaurant is small, and has a kind, familial atmosphere. Their nightly specials are all really great deals. I'll be back on Mondays for $3.50 hand rolls night! I highly suggest the spicy scallop hand roll. As for the wait that some people mention, we were lucky enough to go on a Saturday night in which both Akron and Kent had football games, so there was no wait at all for us! If you're looking for a swanky-looking, all-frills dining atmosphere and experience, this probably isn't the restaurant for you. However, if you're looking for high quality, FRESH sushi, prepared and served by very knowledgeable and very kind people in the Akron area, absolutely give Sushi Katsu a try! read more

We love this hole in the wall. Tony is great, always personal and remembers you even after a year of not coming in. The server(s) aren't the bestest ever but just sit at the bar and let tony take care of you. Fresh and delicious sushi. Probably Akron's best. read more

I'm torn. The food is really awesome. But service is so slow. She really does not pay attention to her tables.

Small restaurant with great sushi! It can get busy especially on the weekends. but it's worth the wait. Great variety of tasty rolls. Highly recommended read more

It's harder than you think to find a good sushi place. But, I'm glad to say that this is one of them. I'll start of by admitting that I've never set foot in there and had done my ordering from the Quarter Up next door. So far, every choice of sushi I've made has been very good and the miso soup is superb. The service is pretty fast and done with style. Only once did I have to wait, but they were really slammed and it's easy to see why. It's a little pricey, but for great sushi, it's always worth it. Recommended! read more

Such an delicious find! I am new to the area and found this place. The ramen was amazing and the sushi great. Service is a little slow but nice. Will definitely be back soon. read more

The sushi is consistently great and the owner is very nice.

Great Sushi. I love the atmosphere. Sushi chef Tony is a pro. Check out the daily specials.

Best sushi in Akron! Delicious and unique, with some of the freshest fish I've ever had. Tony is very warm and the restaurant itself is very cozy. read more

My go-to place for incredible sushi! Under new ownership with Tony's seal of approval! The quality and personal touch have not been compromised! The setting is inviting, friendly, serene and fresh with just a pinch of sophistication! Make it your destination... read more

Great Sushi At A Reasonable Price. The Mizo Soup Is Great and The Shashimi Is Perfect. Tony Is The Best Sushi Chef Around.

The sushi was great! Service from the two chefs were amazing! If you're looking for a new sushi spot this is the place!

Not the same since Chef Tony's retirement! The quality is much lower while the prices remain the same or higher. The sushi is flavorless and the texture of the rice is nauseating; it is hard to believe that this is the same establishment. Sushi Katsu was one of my favorite local restaurants however, after today's debacle of a dish, I will not be going back. EVER. Absolutely terrible! read more

Excellent Sushi, nice little comfortable place and very reasonably priced. Would be a 5 except that because there is only 1 sushi chef service can be slow if it's a busy night. read more

Most authentic sushi in this area. Prepared by a real sushi master. This is the go to place of Japanese executives on business trips to Akron. Highly recommended. read more

The only sushi I've had in Ohio that doesn't overpack the rice, but the fish was just ok. The sashimi combo was a major disappointment.

This is hands down the best sushi in Akron, Ohio. My wife and I have been going here for five years and we have never once had a bad meal here. Typically after eating sushi I'm either hungry or broke. Not here. Portions are great and I'm always leaving satisfied! read more

Sushi Katsu serves as a great Go To for sushi in NEO. Coming back from the East Coast for the past 15 years, I have had some fresh fish. This is about as good as it gets. We got the Tekka Don for our anniversary and it was just as good as anything I had anywhere else. Smiling happy people who served us and a definite return when we are ready for sushi again. read more

If you are the kind of person that goes to eat for the whole experience (environment, food quality, wait staff...etc) this is NOT the place for you. It is located in a tiny, rundown, diner-type of place... But the food is AMAZING. I got the yellow fin tuna and was probably one of the best pieces of fish I have eaten. Not overly expensive for sushi either. I am picky about sushi, and usually like a "classier" place to eat, but I overlook that element just to get the great food. Give it a shot...if you can find it...not the easiest thing to do! read more
