In 1852, Matthew Perry, father of the USA Steam Navy, was assigned a diplomatic mission by American President Millard Fillmore to open Japanese ports to the west trade. The Admiral sailed four steam ships from Norfolk, Virginia to Japan. Along that trip the salt water stained the metal ships black. At that time, the Japanese had never seen such machines and referred to them as the “black ships”. This is where we take our name. Perry didn’t just open up Japan but all of Asia. This fateful meeting of the East and West cultures plays out in our menu.

    Everything we ordered was very delicious, and the staff was excellent and even let us modify some rolls to our liking and the bartenders were very accomodating. I highly suggest the Gyoza!

    Melissa was an AMAZING server and provided a stellar experience for us. She was a concierge, server, and photographer all in one! The menu is small because the fish is fresh daily! Just go! The food is phenomenal.

    We loved our girls' day lunch at Black Ship Little Katana! The menu offers a variety of Asian dishes, along with a few basic American options, to ensure something for every taste. We enjoyed the Wagyu Hot Rock, Katana Appetizer Sampler, and a No Problem Roll. Specialty cocktails are refreshing and creative - our choices were the Orangeblossom Mule and a lovely martini with lychee and blueberries (it has a cute name that I've forgotten). The Ginger Vanilla Creme Brulee and Mango Cheesecake were the perfect "last bites!" Our server Sherokee was knowledgeable, attentive and very sweet and we enjoyed visiting with Steven, the manager, who came by to check on us. Our Black Ship Little Katana experience made a fun day out extra special. We will be back!

    We have been going to Little Katana on Cole for about 7 years and now that we live downtown, we are able to go to Black Ship at the Omni. It has been a staple for our relationship for special dinners and somewhere we know we can go and have any amazing meal! Means a lot, and we will see you soon!

    Food was right on point. Sushi was fresh. Soup was just the right temperature. Appetizers were wonderful, dumplings and perfect cooked squid!
