Isaac was a very attentive and respectful server. He even gave my daughter extra ginger when he realized how much she enjoyed it. The food was excellent and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back next time we are in Seattle

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

Great place for Christmas. The service was really great despite folks having to work on the holiday. The feast was superb. This was the first time my husband and I tried the restaurant. We'll go back to try their regular menu sometime.

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.
