Katsumi Sushi

About

This intimate counter-focused spot serves the full spectrum of Japanese cuisine—from precisely executed sushi and ramen to yakitori and tempura—suggesting a chef trained across multiple disciplines rather than specializing in a single category. The sake program and izakaya-style small plates indicate serious attention to pairing and the kind of depth you'd expect from someone sourcing thoughtfully for a neighborhood clientele. In Berkeley's competitive food landscape, this kind of versatility signals conviction rather than indecision: the kitchen knows what it does well across the board.
