Katsuya Brentwood: Great food, bad service near closing time

Bill total: Around $115 + tip for 2 people
Time: Wednesday night

We ordered a bottle of Saki which consisted of a lot of our bill. As all other restaurants, the alcohol will set you back. Of course I ordered one of the least expensive.

I ordered my favorite dish, Rock Shrimp Tempura Roll, which I usually order at the Katsuya in the Valley (of course you can go to the valley Katsuya for 1/2 the price). This is the best dish by far.

Also, we had Albacore with grilled onions. There was like 1000 pounds of grilled onions. After one bite I had to sweep off grilled onions with my chop stick.

Beef robata with asparagus was another bad dish. The beef had no taste, probably due to the fact that they washed it down 1000 times to get it softer and to wrap around.

Finally, we had the yellowtail suhimi with jalapenos, which is another one of my favorite dishes. I can't complain about this dish, it is sooo good.

Overall, the service was crap because we came into the restaurant about 1 hr before closing time. I suggest nobody ever goes that late because they don't provide any service near closing time. All they care about is getting ready to leave.
