Best Japanese Speciality Restaurants in South Park

My second time at Takai by Kashiba, but this time I finally snagged the omakase counter and was served by Chef Jun Takai and his chefs. It was an incredible experience. I loved how the experience didn’t feel rushed and chef Jun explained the process / location / and type of marinades or weeks of each fish. 23 courses was a lot of food ($220 worth and extra pieces if you’re hungry) and I got full around the 18th course. Chef Takai also takes notice of his customers on what they like, what they don’t like and also can tell when you’re full. He noticed my friend and I getting full so he made our pieces with less rice which I appreciated so much so I can enjoy more pieces of fish. He was also very personable, as I mentioned I could speak a bit Japanese and can understand when he speaks Japanese. And he made conversation and was curious where I learned and I learned that he lived in Yokohama and that was just so awesome to learn. I definitely recommend snagging the counter top if you can as that experience is incredible. Highly recommend for a nice dinner / date night / girls night!

Fantastic meal overall. Excellent service . Wish we had ordered more of the specialty sushi .

Always a lovely experience whenever I come back here! The seasonally changing menus are inspired and thoughtful, and the service is excellent.
