Katsuya By Starck - Manama

Love the fish dishes. juices that I have juiced myself and my friend 4. I don't give 5 because there's a fly that was jalouse to us. I'm sorry I ate everything!

Katsuya is certainly an upscale sushi bar, but I think the price is a little bit on the high side for the casual smart dining experience. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming and there are a good number of innovative rolls that are created by the in-house chefs. The internal decor is ok without being over the top and you will be able to dine in a relaxing atmosphere.

IT was around 12.15, restaurant recently opened and was empty. Ordered from a very varied and seemingly delicious menu. Some dishes were not available (as otoro nigiri, or lobster), so we asked some starters and mains available. Can't say Anything bad about the salmon sashimi as it was the only good thing we tried. Everything else was average or poor. Starting for the sushi rice was not glutinous enough to hold the rolls. And the fish used does not seemed fresh. In the case of the soft shell crab, the size of the roll was ridiculously big, impossible to eat in one bite which is the purpose of a sushi roll. The tuna sashimi was brownish and tasted bad, we had to return it. Continuing with the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno, it felt the fish frozen and tasteless. Cherry on top, the service was very slow for being the only ones there. Definitely terrible experience that does not reflect the brand worldwide. ACTIONS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN URGENTLY.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly but unexperienced service. It took 50 minutes until the first food came. Horrible Japanese food. Shame of Japan! We are frequently traveling to Japan and used to all kind of Japanese food. The Robatayaki was completely overcooked and burned outside. Meat quality poor. Complete Loser. The Ramen was tasting like it was instant Ramen. Even a 7/11 in Japan offers tastier Ramen for 10 of the price. The sushi rice was thick and sweet and gave you an ugly munchy feeling in your mouse. Sushi was worse than in City Centre Foodcourt (and I thought this worst!

Worst Japanese in Bahrain, but not cheap! Robata well well done cooked to death, Udon tasted like from packing, Sushi Rice completely overcooked tasted like milk rice 1 star for nice sitting and friendly service
