Katsura is a Japanese Restaurant with a difference. Katsura has two Japanese cuisines in one place. It is traditional and fusion Japanese a la carte, "Japanese Hall" in one side (tastefully decorated, lovely, imaginatively presented Japanese food with a western twist), "Yakiniku (BBQ) Hall", on the other.

Truly unique aspect of Katsura is that you can choose the atmosphere for your dining experience.

Also "Yakiniku Hall" provides both menus so everyone can enjoy two totally different Japanese cuisines. Another signature menu is Katsura BBQ Buffet with 50 dishes to choose from and freshly prepare each of your dish from where you can see.

Beatifully decorated, spacious, attentive service, top quality food but very well priced.

Please type "A la Carte" for Japanese Hall or "Yaki" for BBQ Hall in your special requirements when you book through Menulog.

Reserve your group/Coporate Function in advance and customise your OWN SET menu.

Lovely food, well priced and the service was great. We were surprised it wasn't full on a Friday night! (Kate - July, 2009)

Great food, attentive staff, reasonable value for money. Would definitely eat there again. Best to pick a table on the BBQ side for the best of both worlds from a culinary perspective, although the a la carte side provides a superior class of ambience for a more refined evening.

we had the best time!! We ordered a $40 set menu as we had a large group, i was a little worried there would not be enough food so i ordered some extra dishes..talk about getting it wrong...there was way too much food and we had to cancel the extra dishes..the food was fresh, delicious, and amazing friendly service..go here..you wont be disappointed (val - May, 2009)

Overall 8.5 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 7, Service 9

Like the food.

A very creative idea to make the teriyaki beef like medium-cooked steak together with teriyaki source. Not traditional, but good to have a try. And yummy :)

Service and ambience is nice. but the amount of food is a bit poor comparing to other restaurants with same price.

Anyway, still a good place to visit. (Claire.H - See my reviews (11) - March, 2009)

One of the freshest sashimi I ever tried. The presentation was grest and so beautiful & the atmosphere was so cosy too. Great restaurant, thumps up (auspossum - March, 2009)

Overall 9.5 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 10

the service is fantastic there. very friendly and attentive. love the combination of a la carte and yakiniku combination. i had some sashimi and mixed tempura as entree' and some wagyu beef with muchrooms and seafood for main. the sashimi was so fresh that it melts in my mouth and the beef....just sensational. it was a birthday party which no one bothered to bring a cake. but the attentive waiter suggested some desert made into something special with sparkles. the birthday boy was very pleased and suprised. i'd definately recommand this place to everyone. just sensational!! (See my reviews (4) - March, 2009)
