Will not be returning probably ever. Service was atrocious, there were kids screaming and running through the restaurant one of them was kicking my friend’s seat the entire time. The waiters were very nice but not super attentive. They were more interested in taking care of their table of family and friends than customers. The music was so loud we couldn’t even talk. The drinks tasted good but we paid for alcohol and I can guarantee you there was zero alcohol in that drink. Not to mention the false advertising of them stating drinks were half price, we paid $7 per drink and the regular drink menu sitting on the table said our exact drinks were $10. I had to wait at least a solid 20 minutes just to get the check when multiple waiters walked right past our table of empty plates just to stop and talk to their party of family and not say a word to us. The only good part I can say was the sushi was not terrible and tasted pretty good.

The chips were oily, floppy, and inedible, but the guac was good. Husband ordered cold sake and it came room temp. Margaritas were decent. Sushi and chicken katsu were both fine.Very strange atmosphere. They turned up the music very loud in the middle of our meal for seemingly no reason. Kind of has a dive bar feel.A little pricey for what you get.

The food and our waitress for both amazing unfortunately the guy giving us a bill did walk away as we were asking for a split Bill a couple of times. But the food makes up for that 10/10 I'll be going back next week

Friends in Branford told me I needed to try out Kat-Su, because they know I love sushi and I also love the whole “fusion” concept of dining and Kat-Su was doing sushi and Mexican. Which, to my mind, is GENIUS! I’m still willing to say that it is a genius commercial concept and, from my visit, seems to be working.I mean, not for me…wooooo, this spot is not my thing.People working here are REALLY nice. They’ve got a cool vibe and are doing a really good job. The spot itself? Not a good vibe. Maybe zero vibe. Seems to definitely be like zero effort to create a vibe.Since I dine alone 90+% of time, I am sensitive to the atmosphere/vibe in a restaurant. But I also happen to think vibe is an integral part of the dining out experience. It’s true, if you are part of a couple or a group you can kind of “overcome” lack of atmosphere. But when you’re dining alone? That’s the test…Kat-Su really failed the vibe test.However, they appeared to be doing a very good take out business. Which is cool. Take out is not my thing. I avoid it. LOL My friends who recommended Kat-Su got take out. So my expectations may have been just off base…I sat at the sushi bar. Which, let’s be honest, should not be an “odd” request at a sushi restaurant. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that they are not accustomed to people actually sitting at the sushi bar. Uh…yikes! The sushi chefs were great though! Fun, friendly, chatty, upbeat. The team working here is fun!There is a big and legit sounding Mexican menu. I started out with Super Nachos. I. Love. Nachos. I’m always going to give nachos a try if I see them. They suggested I add shrimp. Because they are GENIUSES! These were maybe the best restaurant nachos I’ve ever had! DELICIOUS. So. Good. Wow. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I’d get these like every day of the week. Which leads me to believe other things on the Mexican Menu are also good. But I wanted to order from the sushi menu next.There is sushi and then there is sushi and then there is sushi. What Kat-Su is doing well/best are the giant, deep friend, lots of sauces types of sushi rolls. I understand these are big sellers and people love them. They are not my thing. But I watched them make a bunch and they’re doing a VERY good job at them. This is not a spot to order Nigiri or basic/fresh rolls. Just skip that. I should have. I was being stubborn and not “reading the room.” The room was telling me: MEXICAN!! BIG, FRIED ROLLS!!! Also, get it to go and make your own vibe at home.I am going to recommend Kat-Su for Mexican and for big, speciality sushi rolls and take out. I mean creating a better vibe would be an easy fix (step one: PLAY SOME MUSIC!!!), but unless and until they figure that piece out I can’t really recommend dining in. Although service is good!Oh! And frozen alcoholic beverages. Those might actually be the reason to dine in. They are GOOD. And, you know, if you have a few YOU are the vibe!Nachos and frozen margaritas for everyone. And then share a ginormous, deep fried sushi roll.
