As you step inside the restaurant, what first catches your eye is the word ¡ÈKatana,¡É which means sword in Japanese, emblazoned on a scarlet wall. This wall is emblematic of Katana Sushi & Ramen and gives an upbeat atmosphere to the restaurant. The basic color scheme of the interior is red and white. This includes the color choices for table clothes, lanterns and other accessories. Other decorative objects such as the short split curtain or ¡Ènoren¡É and wall ornaments blend in perfect harmony with the overall interior design. In a way, the ambience suggests the ways that Japanese culture is becoming a part of the American tradition.

Mexican Burrito $9.95
In order to accommodate the demographics of the area, the chef has come up with a very unique sushi roll. A sheet of glutinous soy paper, which resembles the tortillas used for actual Mexican burritos, holds sushi rice, avocado (one of the staple ingredients in Mexican cuisine), tuna (one of the most typical sushi items), and much more firmly together. A pinch of jalapeno and hot sauce give this dish a wonderful kick. Although these are unusual ingredients for sushi rolls, the resulting flavor sensation is pleasantly surprising. This very unique fusion dish is well worth trying.
