About KATORI

Box Hill’s moodiest yakiniku destination delivers serious Japanese firecraft and A5 marbling in dimly lit booths. Carnivores aiming for milestone dates point straight toward the Hanna set—a marbled spread of wagyu cuts grilled tableside by staff who talk you through each texture. The raw bar holds its own ground alongside the tabletop grills, sending out fresh surf clam, tuna, and plump oysters topped with salmon roe. Balance the rich cuts with a bubbling bowl of foie gras claypot rice, letting the rice grains soak up every drop from the burner.

  • Expert tableside grilling: Staff cook premium wagyu cuts tableside over the grill and share the culinary background behind each piece.
  • A5 wagyu spreads: The Hanna set menu showcases heavily marbled A5 cuts alongside Australian wagyu selections.
  • Pristine raw bar: Fresh surf clam, tuna sashimi, and plump raw oysters crowned with salmon roe provide a pristine raw counterpart.
  • Foie gras claypot rice: Crispy, rich foie gras bibimbap and claypot rice balance the rich grilled proteins.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, seating, and timing for a smooth dining experience

  • Plan Ahead for Parking

    Paid parking at Centro is your best option, as there is no designated onsite parking or direct drop-off area at the venue.

  • Reserve Booths in Advance

    If you are dining with a group or celebrating a special occasion, book ahead specifically to secure one of the recessed booths or private suites.

  • Pace Your Evening

    While staff assist with tableside cooking, multi-course dinners and drinks can take time during peak service, so leave ample time for a leisurely meal.
