Katsu, God of Sushi yet again [Japanese]

Everyone's expecting to me to name Rudy's Taste. Rudy's Taste is a heck of a nice place, y'all should come to my dinner. But Rudy's Taste didn't change my life.

Katsu changed my life. This community changed my life by leading me there. What more could you ask of a little place on an obscure stretch of Peterson? Is that not Great Neighborhood Restaurantness in a nutshell?

God.

Bitch.

Mike,

Not a damn thing.

Katsu is a terrific restaurant and I enthusiastically second Katsu's nomination as an LTHForum.com Great neighborhood restaurant.

Enjoy,
Gary

I agree as well, with Katsu having the added bonus of actually being a neighborhood restaurant for me.

Viva Katsu! It's our top choice for when we really, really want to treat ourselves. Every meal I've eaten there was brimming with surprises, smiles and supreme freshness. We can walk there on a good night, so we can sake ourselves silly if we want to.

Katsu is superb. Heartily fifthed. Or whatever number we're up to.

When I was asked where I would like to have dinner on V-day, I didn't even have to answer. The boy instantly answered his own question...

Katsu and his wife Haruko are always happy and welcoming. When I have dinner there, I become uncharacteristically quiet... It is that good. Which might explain why the boy is always willing to bring me there.

Katsu definitely has my support for its GNR renewal

I just had a phenomenal meal at Katsu about 2 weeks ago and I whole-heartedly support its renewal.

I have pretty much sworn off most sushi in Chicago. I've eaten at so many places that turn out predictable rolls and fish that, while fresh "enough" are far from excellent, and while Katsu's style of thicker cuts is not my preference, there's no arguing with the quality of the finny tribe served here...and ronnie's lavishly documented recent trip filled me with awe and a desire to return.

GNR-worthy...and like many of our traditional GNRs, slighlty off-radar for the public-at-large, and, so, more ours.

I am Katsu's Bitch.

True in 2004, still true, if not more so, in 2009.

Full support for Katsu's GNR renewal.
