Truly one of the top 5 meals of my life. This brought be back to Japan in flavors but had textures that my American palette likes. My husband and I can't stop talking about how amazing it was to sit at the counter and watch Chef Jun work his magic. Every bite was better than the last. The staff were all incredibly attentive, we even had our coats returned warm from a heated closet to top off an amazing evening. Highly recommend this experience and if you enjoy tea, do the tea pairing it was so worth it!

The oysters ( Kumamoto) were very good, the hot and sour soup was great, the Chilean seabass was great and we ordered some rice with thai style red curry which was excellent. My daughter ordered Opakapaka and she said it was very good too. a nice bottle of a sommelier recommended Sauvignon Blanc completed the circle for an outstanding dining experience.

This was my third time dining at Sushi Kashiba and I will be back. Yes, it is expensive, but the food, presentation, and service are amazing. Absolutely the best dining experiences I've ever had. The servers are so professional and very attentive. They are very passionate about their work, the food they serve, and the artistry of the chefs.
