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 and service. Only negative is if you are sensitive to smoke the cigar room next door does leave that scent. Looking forward to going again.
