“ Wow, so delicious! I loved the black miso chicken, nan ban chicken sandwich and the matcha tiramisu! ”

“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Katabaru, a Japanese restaurant that truly impressed me with its captivating ambiance and exceptional service. My visit on Tuesday was nothing short of delightful. Upon entering Katabaru, I was immediately struck by the beautiful decor, which perfectly blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with a modern touch. The serene lighting, tasteful furnishings, and subtle background music created a calming and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. I decided to try the popcorn chicken rice bowl, and it was an absolute treat. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside, complemented by a flavorful seasoning that elevated the dish. The rice was fluffy and well-cooked, pairing harmoniously with the fresh accompaniments. Every bite was a blend of delicious textures and rich flavors. What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service. The staff at Katabaru were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, Katabaru is a gem that offers not just outstanding food but also a beautiful dining environment and top-notch service. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Japanese dining experience. ”

“ food & service 10/10 would recommend!!!! loved the echos of summer and bird on the wing cocktail, would def have the scallops (so buttery!!!) and eel donburi bowl again will come back <3 ”

“ I ate six different dishes and every single one was delicious it really felt like being in Japan The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing The seafood was so fresh and tasty And since it’s not easy to find good eel in the US it was such a treat It wasn’t fishy at all and tasted incredible ⭐ ”

“ Lovely little spot! The ambiance was quite well curated, the server was nice and the food was good. The donburi and karaage were amazing, the sushi 4 piece flight had some hits and misses and the dessert (matcha tiramisu) had good presentation but didn’t follow up with flavor. Overall would recommend this place for an intimate catch up with friends or date experience. ”

“ very quiet and low traffic on a Wednesday night. Not sure why, because the food was fabulous. It was delicately and carefully prepared - our favorites were the gomadare salad, tofu fire, and nanban donburi. Compliments: I’ve never had such tender delicious shiitake in a salad before. The cabbage in the nanban donburi was finely shredded and crunchy and so delicious with the tempura chicken; the tofu sauce savory and lightly sweet. ”

“ We had an amazing experience here. The food was phenomenal, and the service was great. I can't rave enough about how much we enjoyed our dinner. Drinks are all top-notch with a great variety of choices for your mood. Will be visiting again soon. ”

“ Fresh, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious Japanese food at an incredibly reasonable price. Easily one of my favorite dining experiences in Brooklyn—better than many Michelin-rated spots in the city that cost far more. The unagi don, chicken, and pork belly were standouts, and the drinks and matcha tiramisu were just as impressive. No wait, fast service, and a cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. ”
