Thank you for making this a perfect dinner date for Christmas Eve! Every bit of the staff was very attentive. It didn’t matter how many people there were they all act as our waiters which was amazing. It was as if they were all secretly communicating to each other what we already had and what we still needed . The best Christmas dinner ever ! ~I just can’t tell any of my family members that~

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.

It was my second time dining here and my friends’ first. Both times just before attending a show. Arriving just at opening is perfect as the timely manner in which we received our meals gave us plenty of time to enjoy everything from the cocktails to food to conversation. The meals…Chef’s kiss
