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.

Excellent food, excellent service, varied choices on the menu from sushi to fish entrees to many other types of entrees. John Howie has got a winner here, and its location away from Bellevue Square means they have to meet the demands of those who aren’t in town to just shop. And, they do that with ease. Well done, guys!
