A very enjoyable night at Katana. The food, service was great and all for £12.50. Really could not go wrong. I will definately go back.

Katana. We ordered the sharing plate plus tuna plus Singapore noodles plus steamed veg (all small plates). The sharing plate was quite good although what I think was crab with salad seemed not to taste of crab at all. The tuna was to come with wasabi, but it turned out to be a cream which we were told had wasabi in it (but we couldn't taste it at all). Service was amazing -- I can't recall ever having had so much attention from so many different servers; all were extremely helpful.

The Katana was nice once again - but the menu has stayed the same for a long time now - half the mains are veggie options but the starters are great and varied.

Katana is great for cheap, cheerful 'pan-Asian' food in a superb location. The Thai green curry with coconut rice is a particular hightlight! Will be back very soon.

A group of 10 of us ate at Katana on Saturday night on the toptable £12.50 offer. Food was very good especially considering the price, service was friendly but a little on the slow side. Side dishes bumped the price up a bit and weren't necessary as the portions are all pretty generous. Overall we had a good meal - relatively cheap, good food and convenient location.

great value as we had the 3 courses for £12.50 menu. Bit cheeky that they charge £3.50 for side orders like rice. Better to raise the price of the offer. The food wasn't as good as previously- not sure why.

Katana is always great value, the restaurant is quite small in comparison to the bar and you can usually hear the bassline from downstairs through the floorboards, but the food is consistently excellent at a freakily low cost. My curryhead mate swears by their thai curries - red and green. Anyone who used to go there back in the day will find the service really improved now, with smily door hostesses and everything!

The food at Katana@Thr International was good value for money and the service was good. However, the green curry which we ordered for our 2 kids and which was meant to be cooler the red curry, was in fact hotter - which was a disapointment. Also, they didn't have 1 of the 3 wines on their special price list.

We absolutely loved this place. The food was really tastey and it was super value - three courses for £12.50 and 1/2 a bottle of argentinian red wine for £8.75 - bargain! And the staff were so lovely, they really took great care of us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Katana - went for lunch - had braised crispy duck for a starter which was fantastic, followed by steamed Seabass which was delicious with good flavouring not overpowering and strongly recommend it. Stem Ginger Brulee for desert was pleasant enough. Quiet for a saturday lunch but that was fine. Would definately go back

Very nice restaurant, food was great. The green chicken curry was one of the best I have tasted - very delicate and full of flavour. Overall very happy with the choice - would recommend. Ambience could been a little better - probably a better evening venue than a lunchtime venue.

We had a fantastic meal at Katana @ The International. The four of us chose different starters and mains and all enjoyed our choices. My duck and lychee red curry was really tasty. The service was good, and the price not bad for the quality of food. Portions were generous too.
