★ The Legend
Omakase
This chef's choice tasting menu is what put Katsuei on the map, offering a selection of daily fresh fish, often including multiple varieties of uni and premium tuna cuts. The chefs expertly prepare each piece, often with subtle marinades or garnishes like yuzu, ensuring a perfectly balanced bite.
◆ Fan Favorite
Live Santa Barbara Uni
While uni is often part of the omakase, regulars frequently order the live Santa Barbara uni à la carte when available, served straight from the half shell. Its rich, sweet, and creamy texture with a distinct ocean brininess is so exceptional it's been known to convert even skeptics into uni lovers.
◇ Hidden Gem
Agedashi Tofu
Most first-timers focus solely on the sushi, but this appetizer of lightly fried tofu in an ethereal broth is a standout. It's a comforting and flavorful start to the meal that many regulars swear by, often overlooked by those unfamiliar with the menu beyond the raw fish.
Insider Tip

Don't feel pressured to sit at the sushi bar for the full omakase experience if it's booked or you prefer a table. Katsuei offers a table-side omakase where the knowledgeable waitstaff will bring out several pieces at a time and guide you on the proper eating order, ensuring you still get the curated experience. This allows for a more relaxed and intimate dining experience, especially for groups or families.
