An interactive dining experience from Michelin-starred chef Joshua Gil, Maison Kasai is an elevated teppanyaki restaurant that combines French and Japanese techniques with culinary virtuosity and a touch of performance art. Chefs prepare each course to order on large iron grills, cooking blini to serve with caviar, searing lobster with Normandy butter and vin jaune from France, preparing A5 Wagyu sukiyaki-style, and finishing elegant sauces — all as you watch. Created exclusively for Level 8 by Gil, whose Beverly Hills restaurant Mírame has received widespread critical acclaim, Maison Kasai is a gastronomic experience and theatrical event in one.

Please note that we are an Adults Only (21+) establishment after 9:00 PM. Parking validation is available.

For parties of 8 or more guests, please email reservations@level8dtla.com.

The prime rib was so overly salted for three different orders in my party, it was unbearable. My chicken was tasteless. Worst food I’ve had in ages

Upon arrival we were seated quickly which was great! The walk to the table itself was fun. Going through the bookshelves and seeing the show going on in the waiting room and passing room was sweet. Magic show is definitely a different touch 👍🏿 Food was great. Chef exceeded expectations. Waiters definitely take care of you! Would definitely recommend.

Food: Delicious! Service: It’s only okay due to the wait time. We had a 8:30PM reservations and didn’t get seated until 9:30PM which is horrible. They seem to overbook. Staff: Kind Venue: Very nice cool concept! Overall, I would go back again!

If you like to waste your time, this is your place. So we had a 8:30 reservation and upon arrival were told it would be a wait. We didn’t think that it would be an hour wait, and that was justified by giving us free champagne. We were never seated because after an hour we were told it would be 30 mins more. We ended up leaving because no place is worth waiting and hour and a half to be seated when we had a 8:30 reservation. How is it okay to charge people a $50 no show/cancellation fee if it’s okay to make someone wait on a reservation? Where can I charge them for waiting my time?
Maison Kasai at Level 8Responded on June 20, 2024
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at Maison Kasai. We understand that waiting can be frustrating and we apologize for the misunderstanding about your reservation time.

All in was a wonderful experience except for one item...............we waited 70 minutes ffor our 8 pm reservation. Not seated until 9:10 pm. We checked in @ 7:25 pm and were told we'd be seated at 8 pm. After walking around for a while we returned at 7:55 pm. All along the way until being seated we were told we were next. The hostess was as pleasant as can be. Finally spoke with the manager who stated along with the hostess that the resrevation system was not working that evening. In any event a very good experience other than the looooong wait

Restaurant was 45 minutes late to seat us. And server indicated it was normal. Food was great but a sour way to start the experience.

Not really worth the price for the food. Thought it was going to be more entertainment wasn’t much of it at all. Thought the service could be much better as well being that it’s “upscale”.
Maison Kasai at Level 8Responded on April 14, 2024
It sounds like your experience didn't quite meet your expectations, and I'm sorry to hear that. It can be disappointing when the entertainment doesn't live up to what you were hoping for, especially when you're expecting something special. And when you're paying a premium for a dining experience, top-notch service is definitely something you should be able to count on. Your feedback is important, and we'll take it into consideration to improve in the future. If there's anything specific you think we could do better, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Service inside the restaurant was great. Lady in the front who made us wait outside, and lied and said the people who went inside in front of us who didn’t have a reservation (but we did) was the worst! It was our first time there. I only realized she lied when we got sat at the table, and the same people who were supposed to go to another restaurant were at the same restaurant we were at. Very weird but saw the difference between who she sat at the bar and didn’t. Once inside, the server and the experience definitely helped the night! Everything inside was great.
