insanely good food. service was good. 22 people upstairs at 6:42pm writing this. so um yea

My go-to for ordering takeout sushi in Stamford. It's always extremely fast (and typically accurate). The interior, however, leaves plenty to be desired -- just not my speed, personally. Feels a little clubby, so I pass it up unless the outdoor seating is available. The patio seating is really nice in the warmer months! read more

Great first visit to Kashi. Appreciate their flexibility accommodating our group. Wasn't difficult at all to make a reservation for 7 during the week, and they seated us promptly upon arrival (even found a spot to stow away a luggage bag for a colleague who was traveling that day). Plenty of great food and beverage options. Luckily, we had a Sake sommelier in our group, so we had some informed opinions at the table. Favorite shared apps were the calamari and rolls (lobster and shrimp). Also pleasantly surprised at everyone's main portion sizes! Favorite mains were the octopus and the chicken with mixed vegetables. Would definitely visit again to try more of their menu on a future visit! read more

Pretty Space, Forgettable Food, Premium Prices Kashi in Stamford is one of those places that looks like it should impress... but once the food arrives, the excitement drops fast. The menu is super pricy, and unfortunately the flavors don't justify the bill. The Chilean sea bass, which should be the star of the night, was just ok -- tender enough, but nothing memorable, and definitely not worth the high price tag. The rest of the dishes followed the same pattern: fine, but not standout. Service was decent, ambiance was modern, but overall the experience felt more "meh" than memorable. With so many strong options in the area, I expected way more for the cost. read more

Went for lunch during restaurant week. Service is my reason for the 4* review. I ordered hot & sour soup, calamari, and udon noodles with chicken. The noodles needed a better sauce. I will return again just for the calamari. read more

Came here without any reservations on a Friday evening and we were seated right away. There was a birthday party in the upstairs section. I ordered off of the appetizer menu as they had a petite filet mignon with asparagus and mashed potatoes. There was plenty of meat and just enough veggies For a not so hungry appetite. My husband had a large portion of steak teriyaki which included rice, Brussels sprouts, carrots, potatoes and green beans. Meat was tender and flavored well. Trendy ambience and fun music. Very clean and comfortable space. Attentive staff. read more

I tried the sashimi which consisted of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, flounder/ snapper (white fish), red snapper and mackerel. I thought it was just ok I think what Kashi does really well is their specialty rolls. My favorite is still the American dream roll. read more

We recently dined at Kashi Japanese in Stamford with a party of 12 and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We made reservations in advance, but the restaurant assigned only one server to our very large table. While our server genuinely tried his best and was polite throughout the evening, he was clearly overwhelmed and was also handling multiple other large tables at the same time. Drinks took an extremely long time to arrive -- some didn't come until after dinner was already served. Even more frustrating, our entrees came out before the appetizers. Several food orders were incorrect or incomplete, and it was nearly impossible to get anyone's attention to fix mistakes or order additional drinks. The overall service felt very disorganized. The floors and tables were noticeably dirty, and there was no accommodation or space provided for our personal belongings, which made an already chaotic experience even more uncomfortable. It was clear that the server was not the issue -- management's staffing decisions were. A large party with reservations should be properly supported to ensure a smooth experience. Unfortunately, this was an overall awful dining experience, and we left very disappointed. read more

My first time here and it was really good! I left the ordering up to my parents as they had been here before and said really good things about it. The sake is their favorite! The shrimp tempura roll with the mango was really good and unique, and everything else was very good 10/10, would come back. read more

Always a great dining experience here! Food is constantly fresh, the service is quick and Zach gives great recommendations!

Just updating my previous review: The manager did reach out to me and was very polite and apologized for what occurred with my order. They did reimburse for previous order which I'm thankful for. This showed they care for their customers. We still order from there from time to time. read more

This places always kill it everytime I go! Always go here for date nights. It is the best ambiance, and always great service too. The food is always so fresh. This visit I had two classic rolls and my boyfriend always tries a new entree, he got the sea bass this time. We shared steak fried rice as well. We both enjoyed our meals and our drinks. Bartender Natasha makes an amazing lemon drop martini! read more

The lunch special sushi was good. The rolls were filling. The seared tuna was a bit small. I enjoyed the refreshing ginger taste salad that came with the lunch special. The staff was accommodating! Beautiful ambiance as well. The miso soup was lovely and light. Green tea is on the house if you ask. read more

This is a good casual spot with very good food. Its much larger than most Japanese restaurants, and has booming ceilings. Its noisy with dim club-like lighting. They also pipe in crappy dance music (for some reason). That said, the food is surprisingly good - albeit the sushi pieces are on the smaller side. My wife and I started with soup (miso & seafood bisque) , and then the Champaign Sea Bass appetizer - both were excellent , and the Sea Bass could be a meal in and of itself. We then got an assortment of sushi and some rolls. It was fine. Ended the meal with some green tea ice cream. I would rate the food a 4 but I will deduct 1 star for the ambience, and their skimpy serving size of their sushi. read more

Came back for the rib as I planned, but this time there was no purple potato, it didn't look as pretty, what a bummer. My gyoza was burnt! A bit disappointed today. My 8yr old vomited her spicy crab roll. I don't know what happened. Last experience was way better! read more

food was amazing and so was johan! very attentive and kind. the food came out fast, and I didn't have to ask for anything at all. great job.

Another gem living on Summer street. While looking for a late Saturday happy hour, the outside advertising of the special menu options caught our eye, so we decided to inquire & we were surprised when we also found out they also had happy hour going on at the bar. Walking in, the decor is modern, beautiful & the music matched the atmosphere. The purple lighting adds a hip club vibe. At the time, it wasn't busy but the patrons that were there, were enjoying themselves. My party of 3 sat at the bar & received some great drink recommendations from the attentive bartender. I had the sakitini, garnished with a large cucumber slice, that definitely left an impression. The smell & taste of the cucumber made it so refreshing. The special menu was a Connecticut Restaurant Week & I was going to pass up having 24 pieces of sashimi. My choices were the duck salad, foie gras toast & the imperial sashimi. Everything was beyond delicious! The presentation of all dishes were impeccable. After eating it all, I wanted to do it all over again. Kashi has been added to the list of places to be in Stamford & I'm curious how it is when the sun goes down. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner today and it was so wonderful from the moment you entered the door - the service is impeccable you're met graciously by this wonderful hostess, and then we were seated just on the edge of being outside and everything from the water to the soup to the short ribs were just delicious.

The place is okay. Their signature rolls are decent and interesting. I found the menu a bit limited though. I wish they had more hot entrees and ramen. The ambiance is good. Good decorations and good music. Service was so so. Our waitress showed up whenever needed and couldn't find her for the rest of the time. This is one of the typical unauthentic suburban "Japanese" restaurants and don't expect too much. read more

Bluefin sushi is a definitely just try. The Red Clams were a surprise because normally it's called artic surf clams elsewhere. Tobiko was okay personally since I'm used to getting the orange ones not the red one. Lobster is a much try if you aren't already sold on a sushi roll already. Surprisingly it was way better than the other places go to. It's nice a chewy. The lemongrass read more

My mom and I stopped here for dinner and really enjoyed it. We had a seat that was inside but right at the doorway so it had a nice breeze and fresh air from outside as well! We are not super adventurous with our sushi and just got some basic rolls. I really liked the hot roasted edamame, I've gotten this at other restaurants before and found it to be too oily for me, but this one was very good. The sauce coated the edamame well and they weren't just covered in chili oil! read more

Best value lunches, plenty of food for the price point. Nice settings, great service and accommodating for small child.

My friends and I went here for lunch, it was pretty busy for lunch hours . They were short staff but nonetheless they were able to keep up for the most part. We came for drinks but at the time there was no bartender so that was a bummer. The food was really great . We ordered blue crab fried rice , American dream roll , crab cakes , shrimp tempura roll, and the king of the sea. Lychee martini was ordered as well. Cool meet up. Good experience read more
