Small cozy sushi restaurant in L’Albir. Fish is always fresh and presentation is great. A bit hard to get in without a reservation, but once you do a very good experience every time. Best in the area and I really enjoy their ramen during the cold months. Definitely recommend

Second all the previous reviews. Very helpful and kind English speaking staff; and the food was so delicious! Totally recommend Gyoza and their soups (the Japanese dumpling or Vietnamese beef soup)! Excellent!

I have recently been to Be Katsu 3 times. Being from California, I found the Japanese and Vietnamese food authentic and delicious. Staff is professional, and there seems to be amiable relationships between the staff. I was greeted by name by the owner on my second visit. Prices are consistent with the high quality of the food.

Amazing. Maybe the best Japanese and Vietnamese in the area. Make sure to try tuna sashimi. Just don't be late!

Nice restaurant Good indoor and excellent outdoor covered seating area. We arrived early for dinner, with prior reservations, but they turned back customers without booking, so prior booking recommended! Vegan / vegetarian can get a few choices here. Nice maki rolls, teppanyaki & curries. Recommended…!

Amazing. Food is awesome and chef is great! Service can improve however, we had a great time. Comfy environment and lovely food. Since the beginning is a wonderful experience. Is a must in your life, everybody should go and try it. We order some tataki, shashimi, some rolls and even desert. The price and quality is correct, beside our bill increase because of the wine lovers we are.

Be Katsu isn’t a restaurant, and the only thing it has that makes it a restaurant is the Chef. A creative, wonderful talent, with a perfectionist approach to his cuisine and culinary masterpieces. Otherwise, it is a food temple, so respect it. I enjoy visiting then for the Ramen, and just about anything else (secret dish for those who get it - add a cinnamon pork to the ramen and get the eel sushi). Small, cozy, super clean, stunning light interior. Only downside - remember to book in advance and enjoy!
