Our Shrimp Yaki Soba brings together noodles and shrimp over high heat, building layers of savory flavor while keeping the vegetables crisp and the noodles satisfyingly chewy.

Not your everyday gyoza. 🥟

Lamb gives these dumplings a deeper, more savory character than the traditional filling, wrapped inside a tender wrapper and cooked for that satisfying contrast between crisp and soft.

Order a plate for the table. Whether you actually share them is up to you.

Sushi doesn’t begin and end with seafood. 🌱

Our Sushi Veggie Medley turns vegetables into the main event through thoughtful seasoning, texture and presentation. Each piece offers its own personality while keeping the simplicity and balance we love about sushi. taken in Kata Robata Sushi + Grill by @katarobata

We’ve been doing Southern Smoke Festival for years and each and every time, it continues to be a privilege to serve our community.

This year, knowing how hard it is to get one of our usual reservations, we brought a mini version of @sushihoriuchi’s omakase to the Lexus VIP space for guests who were quick enough to grab seats through @resy. We did our best to share this moment with as many of you as possible, so we hope everyone who joined got to appreciate a special experience that ultimately benefits this incredible cause for our industry.

@southernsmokefoundation is a Houston nonprofit founded by our very good friends, Chef @cshepherd13 and @htownlindseybrown. They work tirelessly with their team around the clock and throughout the entire year, raising funds to provide emergency financial assistance to food and beverage workers facing crises such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or sudden loss of income.

Taking care of our own is what it’s all about and we know the work doesn’t stop here. It’s about all the moments of care for each other in between and we hope to keep paying it forward.

A different side of unagi. Unagi Shirayaki 🔥

Shirayaki is a traditional preparation where eel is grilled without the familiar sweet tare glaze, allowing its natural flavor and smoky character to take center stage. taken in Kata Robata Sushi + Grill by @katarobata

Truffle is back! Some bites are all about contrast.

Silky salmon meets the richness of quail egg and the unmistakable aroma of Burgundy truffle—three distinct ingredients brought together in one composed bite.

Earthy, savory and luxurious without losing the character of the fish.

That first crack is half the fun. 🍌

Our Banana Crème Brûlée pairs silky custard and banana with a thin layer of caramelized sugar, torched until it forms that signature glass-like shell.

Crack through the top, scoop into the custard underneath, and finish dinner on a sweeter note.

Shishito peppers have a reputation for keeping things interesting!

Typically mild with a grassy sweetness, they’re fried with our house tempura. Our version takes things one step further with a savory filling, turning a familiar Japanese pepper into a Kata favorite made for the table.

This sake spends three years surrounded by snow. ❄️🍶

Hakkaisan Yukimuro is matured in a traditional Japanese snow-storage room in Uonuma, Niigata. Stored snow naturally keeps the space around 3°C without electricity, creating an exceptionally stable environment as the sake slowly develops a rounder, smoother character.

Three years. Natural refrigeration. One remarkable pour.

Three skewers. Three ways to do chicken. 🔥

Cooking over the grill is all about the details—direct heat, caramelization, smoke, and knowing exactly when to pull each skewer.

Our Chicken Skewers Three Ways explore different preparations of one familiar ingredient, each bringing something different to the table.

Try all three and tell us which one wins at @katarobata by @katarobata
