10/10 service. All of the employees from the chefs to the servers to the hosts were amazing. The chefs were friendly and fun. The hosts were super helpful-when we were waiting for awhile for the bathroom, she personally walked us to the nearby hotel to show us the additional bathrooms there. The vibe inside the place was super fancy. We came here for a little bachelorette dinner and the bride to be was very impressed! The chef was very communicative, he let us know that we can customize our nigiri pieces as much as we wanted-less/more rice or less/more wasabi. I requested less wasabi on mine, but on some of the nigiri pieces there was still a little too much wasabi for my taste. I also felt like some of the nigiri pieces were lacking a bit of soy sauce as well as some pieces just tasted like bland fish and rice. There were definitely some showstopping pieces like the salmon belly, different cuts of tuna, and the piece with truffle oil. I had a good experience here, but make sure when you reserve a place you reserve for the counter seating for the chef's special omakase otherwise you'll get the less bougie-tiered omakase sitting at the normal tables. read more

Felt like I was in an episode of the bear -- the service was so good!!! And the omakase was exceptional. Such a memorable dining experience. Expensive but worth it! read more

My mom took me here for my 18th birthday. I'm not the biggest sushi guy, but I wanted to try something really special. We waited in line for an hour before opening and barely got the last slot for omakase, and wow was it worth it. The chef was a pleasure to converse with and he explained each plate well. Each bite was like a little explosion in my mouth! read more

If you have the opportunity to secure one of the coveted bar seats at Sushi Kashiba and have legendary chef Shiro Kashiba prepare Edomae-style sushi for you, do it! Chef Shiro has been a Seattle institution since 1970 and learned his craft under another legend, Chef Jiro Ono of the famed Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo. The omakase served by Chef Shiro was the best sushi experience of my life. If you want a chance at the same experience, just make sure to check with the restaurant that Chef Shiro is working on a particular day you want to visit and then line up at least 3 hrs before the restaurant opens to hopefully be one of the first few in line to potentially secure one of the bar seats in Chef Shiro's section. It was worth it for me and I'll do it again the next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Nothing negative to say about this meal - it was really perfect. Most of the diners at Sushi Kashiba choose one of the two omakase options, which appear to be lovely if our surrounding fellow diners' experiences were anything to judge by. However, we wanted to choose our own adventure, so we ordered a combination of hot menu items (black cod, crispy Rex sole), and A Lot of nigiri. The sole was one of our favorites (the fried bones were an inspired touch), along with Hokkaido uni, the geoduck, the mackerel, and the tamago for a sweet finish. Service was faultless and friendly (we appreciated the comped sake with the tamago), and the views from the Inn at the Market vantage over the Pike/Pine corridor are so dreamy - especially at sunset. We'll definitely return. read more

Nigiri: For the Canadian salmon, the wasabi spiced up the piece of fish on rice, soy sauce nicely seasoning the entire thing, slowly melts in your mouth. The medium fatty tuna breaks apart nicely in your mouth, savory and quick. The uni was soft, blended with the rice in your mouth, and the seaweed gave it a nice crunchy texture. It was incredibly enjoyable and worth the expensive price. The soy sauce wasn't super salty, and was just enough umami to help increase the depth of the dish. The Unagi was superb. It was nice and chewy, sweet and perfect. Very nice eel, and tasted exactly like how it should. The tamago tasted exactly like a pastry. I was very confused at first. It was like custard. Very little rice, but good and sweet nonetheless. Hand-roll (Temaki): The fatty tuna roll was impeccable. It was heaven on another level. The green onion was perfectly mixed with the fish, and the rice served as an amazing base. It was perfectly sauced and exceeded my expectations. Restaurant quality: Our server, Brandon B(if that's how you spell it), knew how to top off and finish the meal. He gave recommendations, explained the fishes and where they came from, and was really helpful in enjoying the meal. The restaurant itself looks very modern for a traditional restaurant, and located in a very busy place. Opens slightly earlier than normal sushi restaurants as well. As a conclusion, I love this restaurant so much, and will return next time I happen to be in Seattle. Five stars all the way. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing food, service and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was top notch. Exceptional dining experience.

First time experiencing omakase and it was so wonderful :) My bf and I got there at about 4pm to get the chef's counter for 5pm. Honestly not too bad of a wait if you're wanting to experience the sushi bar/chef counter. The sushi bar is only omakase. Food was phenomenal. It really brought a different perspective to eating food. It showed me a different type of art when it comes to food. Everything that the chef served was unique and paired well together. I've often heard from others that omakase doesn't fill you up but it was actually a lot of food and the pacing helps with being full. Although definitely on the higher price, it was such a lovely experience and the service is phenomenal. Best I've experienced. read more

Our best meal in Seattle. My kid asked why it didn't have a Michelin star. Years ago, my husband and I went to Shiro's Sushi, but I was pregnant so I didn't have any sushi. My husband, however, ate enough for the three of us and left blown away. Found out that chef Shiro no longer worked at Shiro's but at Sushi Kashiba. Ordered the Peak course dinner, and every piece of sushi was amazing. Extremely high quality cuts of fish. Loved that each piece was already pre-seasoned with the perfect amount of soy sauce or ponzu and wasabi. A few dishes available for kids also. My picky eater demolished their chicken karaage and miso soup. read more

Sushi Kashiba is as close to a perfect Omakase experience that you can get. What I love about this place more than other places is that they are not afraid to use local fish where possible. Most fancy Omakase restaurants want you to believe that the best fish has to come from Japan but that's far from the truth. My favorite sushi course here is the Geoduck and honestly the Geoduck you get to experience here served by Chef Shiro Kashiba is probably the best in the entire country. I've had Geoduck at Michelin Star restaurants but it's never as good as when I have it here in Sushi Kashiba. If you want to get served Omakase by Chef Shiro Kashiba it's best to get to the restaurant at least 90 minutes before they open. If you get there 75-60 minutes before they open most likely you'll miss out on a spot in front of Kashiba but you'll still get a bar seating. Last I heard Chef Kashiba works Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Trust me waiting 90 minutes to get a seat in front of him is more than worth it. There's not a lot of sushi chef's out there that have more sushi experience than Kashiba. Not only that but he's very friendly, knowledgeable, and will go into detail about the fish beings served. read more

Sushi Kashiba is a Seattle classic. Consistently good omakase experience - chef Shiro makes the ingredients absolutely sing. The pacing is always perfect, and the service is both attentive and inconspicuous. If you're local - go in the fall/winter, after the cruise ship/tourist season, as the restaurant is a bit more subdued and quieter, without lines at the door. read more

Sushi Kashiba - The Peak - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oh my goodness gracious me. This is the best omakase I've ever had (and the most expensive tbh). Noteworthy: 1. THE BEST salmon course and tuna course ever.. including places I've been to in Japan. Each piece was so distinct from the other, and the progression of each piece was stunning. 2. The albacore was sooo soft. Why can't all albacore be like this?? 3. They give a hot mushroom + mackerel soup to drink throughout the latter half of the course. This really helps with stomach comfort from eating cold fish. Nits: 1. We had booked an appointment at 8:30, but their omakase counter started at 8:45. No biggie since you can appreciate Pike Place's neon sign at night. 2. I wish they had some "dessert" dessert. But I'm definitely not complaining about the tamago and unagi dessert course. read more

We had an awesome experience at Sushi Kashiba! Starting off with service and ambiance. Both were great. Our waiter (I think his name was Joe) was fabulous and attentive. We started with the tuna poké salad which was fresh and a great way to start the meal. We then ordered all 3 specialty rolls that were available, followed by quite a few pieces of nigiri. I included a photo of the "a la carte" menu and our rankings of both the rolls and nigiri :) everything was very high quality. The only thing I would note is I am not the biggest wasabi fan, and I think all the nigiri we ordered had wasabi on them. I just asked for my last few pieces to come without it, and they were happy to accommodate! Definitely a pricey meal, but very special and a perfect date night. We will be back! read more

We were able to get seats at the counter for omakase. Service was excellent. I actually paid a bit more to have a few more pieces. Quality of the nigiri pieces were above par. Our chef was very accommodating. The price has gone up in recent years. No, this is expensive because it's high quality fish not the cheap stuff you find at grocery stores. People should not come here if it's too much for them in price. read more

Best sushi ever! We live in LA now but every time we are in town for holidays we have to visit here because the sushi simply tastes so fresh and high quality. I know the price is not the most affordable but imo totally worth it. We had omakase before but this time we opted for the sushi dinner instead (we had to finish dinner by a certain time). But wow it did not disappoint and just reminded me how amazing it was. For $120 per person you get 12 pieces of nigiri, an appetizer, miso soup and a tamago dessert. We were worried won't be enough and talked about ordering more but by the second plate of sushi, we were happily stuffed. Everything tasted so good as always but our favorites are: toro (regular, seared, marinated), scallop (so sweet like out of this world), sweet shrimp (again super sweet and delish). I personally enjoyed the smoked fish in the end (I think it's mackerel) husband thought was too smoky for him. Besides the food, I have to give a shout out to our server Jordan!! He's the best!! So kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. He gave us tips on how to best enjoy/pair the sushi with condiments or sake. He also shared with us his own stories and favorite fish (a rare kind that I've never heard of). Honestly we just loved talking to him and he made our dinning experience so so much better. He also gave us a "donut" sushi in the end because he had heard husband saying the mackerel was too smoky. Literally the most thoughtful - thank you Jordan!! This place gets busy so make sure to reserve ahead. Not overly crowded but does get filled up. Everyone is respectful so noise level is minimal and we could hear our "neighbors" conversation - just a heads up if you want to have intimate conversations. We will continue to come back when have a chance, not only for the food but also for the hospitality! read more

This was hands-down, one of the best omakase experiences I've ever had. Check out their website to read more info about Chef Shiro Kashiba before coming here! It may make you appreciate the experience even more. My friend and I were from out of town visiting Seattle, and heard a bit about this place. We lined up to get a seating for the omakase because it's first come, first serve. Be prepared to splurge if you want to do this experience, but it is 100% worth it. It's $185/person. If you want to add 3 more pieces (which the sushi chef will ask you towards the end of your meal if you would like to add), then it's an additional $30. Service/tip is already included when you receive your bill. My friend and I were lucky to have gotten Chef Shiro Kashiba himself as our sushi chef for our omakase experience. I loved getting to watch him make each piece with tender and care. He explained every single piece that you get, and also where the fish comes from. There was not a single piece that I didn't like. It was so buttery and delicious. The cuts were fantastic. No soy sauce is given so that you can truly taste and enjoy each piece. I also usually don't really like unagi that much, but he gave us a tempura unagi that was so good and I actually liked! They also served you little dishes in between the actual fish pieces, like some soups and egg tofu. I left feeling EXTREMELY full and satisfied. The service here was fantastic. Everyone is so nice and friendly. They're very attentive with filling your water and clearing your little dishes in front of you as you eat them. The vibe is slightly upscale, so I would dress a little nice. This place is very popular and easy to find because it's right by Pike Place Market! I definitely give this place a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sushi place to eat in Seattle! read more

This is the first omakase I ever tried so I don't have anything to compare Kushiba to but the food was honestly perfect and so was the service. All the staff were very attentative and patient, explaining every piece of the omakase courses and answering my questions about their menu. I had the table omakase and for an introvert like me, just having the waiters explain the courses was enough. Food was perfect. Loved the toppings on the oysters and the nigiri was so good! Agedashi is not usually a favorite of mine but Kashiba's agedashi was soo tasty~! The restaurant is not decorated as you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant, it's more like a modern high class restaurant. I felt a little out of place even dressed up. But all in all, if you're willing to spend the money, Kashiba's a good place to try out. read more

We got the omakase and peak menu choice along with the sunomono salad and hamachi collar for appetizers. Restaurant was quaint and clean.

If you were to go to one place in Seattle and splurge your money on sushi, this is it. Folks, this place wasn't even opened yet and there was already a line at the door to put on the waitlist. Their availability for counter sushi seating was first come first served, so I could see why. But to wait in line hours before they opened? Interesting. Somehow me and my boyfriend did a walk-in to see if there was any available seating, but was told it would be a 45 minute to half hour wait to even get a table. That was fine. We ended up getting a seat at the bar. And honestly glad we did. Our bartender was really top notch and made it very welcoming especially since him and my boyfriend were Thai. The sushi here was well presented and delicious. Service was fabulous. Great experience overall. read more

Delicious sushi. Great hospitality at the omakase service. Intimate setting at the corner of the bar. Watching a master at work

Been to some of the best omikase in the world. Living in Vegas, we are spoiled. So my expectations for this place is really high since the history of Chef Shiro and being the best in Seattle- which is by the water/ocean. We made our reservations way ahead of time. My mistake is we should have waited in line and got a number to sit on the bar. I advise anyone that they should do that as the sushi experience and freshness of the sushi. I was not wowed by my meal. It was good but not great. But the pricing is better than most places that I've been for the quantity. We noticed that the sushi seems pre-made that day. The rice was sticking to the plate and fish seems a little dry (probably place on the fridge). But the sushi have roll that we got was definitely freshly made. Our server was amazing. He knew his menu and food that he is serving. He even help us with our trip- where to walk and avoid a certain street. Will be back and next time we will sit on the bar. read more

I've had my fair share of omakase both domestic and international (ranging from $80 all the way to the high end $500 per individual), and so I'll try to be as objective as I can. Flew here to seattle for a special occasion and to finally experience what seattle thinks is one of the best omakase around. With a guy like Shiro (Jiro's apprentice) running this restaurant; I really expected a certain caliber that could only be found at niche locations like this. Unfortunately it just doesn't meet the price they're asking for. Start with the PROS; -chef was very accommodating -staff was very attentive -21 courses; so you'll be full by the end of this experience. Now, let's go with the CONS; -reservations was for 0700. While we were acknowledged by the host; we were not seated for a good 25 minutes. Please start on time. This might not be a big deal for some people; but time is a very valuable asset. For the premium that this establishment is asking for; the principle of punctuality must be strictly implemented. Red flag #1. -the QUALITY of the fish was just not there. We had a good variety too; scallop, sea bream, mackerel, salmon, tuna, uni, shrimp, unagi, snapper, etc. I can objectively say that out of the 18 Nigiris that were served; there was only 4 that was particularly of quality. Everything else tasted like it was preserved for a while and there is definitely an aftertaste that is not desirable at all. -most of the fish were already pre cut and the proportions were way out of whack; some too big; some too small. Red Flag #2. -arrangements of the way they served the courses just doesn't make sense; why give me a o-toro (fatty tuna) at the beginning of the course? That's one of the climax of the omakase. Towards the end we had 3 mackerel nigiris. Why? Almost felt like a reverse meal. Red Flag #3 -I would expect that paying a premium with a reservation would get you the ambiance and privacy of a legit omakase; instead they mix the omakase bar with surrounding tables and another bar right on the side that are just way too noisy for this type of dining; ruining the overall experience. Red Flag #4. -lastly, 20% service charge is MANDATORY; which is just absurd. The omakase itself is $175 plus the tax; plus another 20%. Paid close to $500 for two. Red Flag #5. Overall, It is a real shame that I could not recommend this establishment. The value is just not there. I hope that management will be able to read this and take note of all the things I've mentioned in this review. read more

Got the omakase on a Friday night and it came out in 6 separate courses. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable and explained all of our dishes. The meal wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed. When I get omakase, I expect to be wowed. Nothing stood out or was memorable for me. One of the dish was an oyster which I thought was odd. The rice was actually really good and might've been my favorite parts of the meal. Overall, I felt like I just ordered an expensive nigiri set with some appetizers. read more

Omakase No food really interested me after coming back from Japan. Sorry, but the food bar in Seattle is really quite low and overpriced I do think that Washington has decent sushi though. I've been to Sushi Kashiba once two years ago and decided to try it again. The temperature of the fish on the appetizer was a bit too cold and I did give this feedback to our server. Following that, the rest of the nigiri and the following courses were actually delicious and well prepared. It's been a satisfying omakase meal Still not as good as in Japan but I will always be happy to go out for sushi at Sushi Kashiba. read more

Ordered Omakase- at a table away from the sushi bar. Great fish quality, trendy restaurant, interesting service, and a slightly disappointing lackluster "grand finale". The quality of fish is very good. Fresh nigiri pieces wrapped around perfectly prepared sushi rice. I absolutely loved the shrimp head. Everything was well sourced and very fresh. The sushi was exactly what I had expected and craved when walking in. Kind of sad there was no uni in the omakase but everything was so good that I did not mind. It's a sushi restaurant, don't come here asking the chef to make a new menu to adhere to you because you can't eat fish (thank you to the table next to me for holding the server hostage for 10 solid minutes because you are appalled the chef can't make you a vegetable based soup that is not on the menu) The service was good and bad. Our main server never asked for drink selections, hastily rushing to get our order. A separate server from who is in charge of your table comes to describe what dish is in front of you in lieu of the chef- which I really appreciated as we were sitting away from the chef. Our server kept being hyping up the "grand finale" - which turned out to be a cup of miso soup and tamago. Was low key expecting dessert. Note that the restaurant has a service fee built into their menu and tip is not 'required'. The omakase experience felt very commercialized, a quick way for the restaurant to bang out a buck in this over saturated foodie world. In my experience omakase is experienced with the chef, providing feedback and being offered the chefs personalized choices of the day. Modern interior design, sound does not travel well in here. I recommend the sushi, if you're planning on advance, make a reservation at the omakase bar! read more

Sushi Kashiba - Part of omakase dishes - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chef Shiro Kashiba highlights his culinary crafts offering a new high standard for Japanese cuisine at Sushi Kashiba. The location lies at the heart of downtown Seattle, just a few steps away from the Pike Market. Food critics from around the world call attention to his delectable seafood, where most of his ingredients are flown in straight from Japan. My first time there was unforgettable and let me tell you why. My table ordered omakase which means what we eat will be up to the chef. Our lovely dinner began with a nice chat with Chef Shiro Kashiba himself since he wanted to ensure we have a pleasant dining experience. The course included 9 rounds of mouthwatering sashimi, special rolls, and soothing soups. Each dish has a scrumptious touch of sweetness and savor, all balancing each other out. In addition, we included a sake pairing that provided a rich and fragrant aroma to our overall experience. The delightful ambiance felt high-end and peaceful but not too quiet. Each round is comprised of 4-6 different cuts of sashimi, curated to have the perfect amount of fish, rice, and seasoning in every bite. The platting itself was quite elegant presenting a simple yet sophisticated design to spotlight the ingredients. Workers treated each of us with respect and demonstrated proper etiquette. Women are always served before men, drinks are poured away from the customer to ensure no splashes, face masks were served to us on clean plates, and all of the dishes were inspected by a waiter to make sure every item was evenly spaced before serving it to us. For such an affordable price, the omakase meal was worth every penny. read more

We booked this place last minute and were glad we could even get a reservation. Showed up and were told that they had a cancellation for the chef's experience omakase. Got seated and to our surprise it was with Kashiba San himself. What an experience it was! The sushi was delicious and brought me back to the last omakase I experienced in Ginza. Kashiba San was amazing and even better knowing he has 65 years of experience under his belt. The ambiance was quite warm and not too loud. Definitely coming back to Seattle for sushi Kashiba. read more

Best Sushi I've had in the States. I've been to Omakase things in Tokyo and Kyoto. This is very competitive. The Chef's control over Rice proportion to Fish is considered and appropriappropriate. The Tamago we had for "dessert" was mind boggling. Perfect cakey texture with nuanced amazing flavors. They say you can tell a chefs experience by their Tamago and this was a cut above the rest. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, prompt without being overbearing. The Hot dishes were borderline dangerously hot. They do warn you it is HOT and I suppose it's better than "just right and then too cold in a few minutes" but just be aware that when they say it's HOT they mean it and you ought to wait a bit to consume... that's all. I the "do i serve it piping hot and allow them to wait or perfectly hot and they have to eat it NOW or it'll get cold" it seems like they chose the former. Overall, a great experience to splurge on and a very memorable meal. While I personally could afford to come back again and again , it's worth a taste. I'd say bang for buck, it's worth it's salt, but you're not getting an incredible deal on incredible food. You pay for what you get and because you're getting a lot, expect the price to match. read more

Eating some amazingly fresh sushi right on the water!? Yes please! The perfect end to a fun day adventuring around the city. We had such a good time at the sushi bar for the omikase menu. Our sushi chef was particularly knowledgeable and gave us a great run-down of each piece. I loved the menu though personally wish it was completely backwards. I felt the pieces at the beginning were far more delicious, but that may have been a personal preference. Similarly I wasn't particularly excited about the more "cooked"/seared/warm options as those are never pieces I'm crazy about (that being said, they still had great flavor). Overall though, the sushi cuts were great quality/ very thick pieces and each had more flavor than we get back home. The fish-to-rice ratio was also perfect (in my opion) with less rice/more fish. We also had a great bottle of sake that our server recommended. I'll include a photo as well, but it paired quite nicely with the evenings menu. We did find the initial arrival a bit awkward. We originally had a reservation for a regular table but lucked out when someone gave up their omakase seats (huge thank you to the hostess for offering the open spots to us!). The awkward part was that, while waiting, we were asked our drink order. We understood it to be a drink while we waited but it turned out to be our first drink for the start of dinner. That was no problem and our server was very understanding when we wanted to change our choice once we sat and realized what had happened. That and the slow seating of the groups waiting for the omakase when we were all in such a small area was strange but not off-putting/ didn't really affect dinner at all. Overall it was a pretty good experience and quite a tasty dinner. read more

We made a reservation for 2 for our 21 years anniversary at 7 pm but we happened to be in the area around 5 so we walk in to ask if they by chance have any opening and luckily yes they have 1 spot so we took it. This place was recommended to me by my sister in law who lives in Oregon and for us to try their omakase tasting menu so that's exactly what we did for 2. Customer service was very welcoming and friendly. The place is not too big, clean, neat and peaceful, very dim but intimate, is perfect for couples. With the tasting menu omakase, there's a total of 12 courses. All the pieces and courses were displayed beautifully and they all have their own distinct flavors. All very fresh and delicious. I'm very pleased with the foods and experiences. This is not an everyday meal for sure but definitely worth the experience for our anniversary celebration. read more

Definitely follows through on its reputation as one of the best places in the city to get a refined, upscale sushi dinner, particularly the omakase experience. Personally, I would've felt it was a little more worth the $150 price tag if I had done a better job of planning and managed to get into the restaurant while Chef Shiro himself was behind the bar/working in the space; that said, everything was to a very high standard and both the chefs/waitstaff did a great job of presenting the experience - probably the most attentive team of servers I've ever seen, with it feeling like no glass or extra plate stayed empty or in the way for longer than a minute, if that. Interior decor and seating arrangement was also very fancy - didn't expect such a large interior, based on what I had heard about the restaurant prior to going, but it's a long omakase counter with a sizeable team of sushi chefs, together with a decent amount of normal tables throughout the rest of the space. There were really only a handful of sushi pieces, like the uni, the flash-fried fresh tempura shrimp or the bluefin tuna belly temaki, that really stood out; the latter of which being probably the only one I'd ever really want to seek out again. Nothing we were served was anything less than good, but in terms of cost to wow factor, just off the food and drinks (which were also good), it was just ok. If you're looking to splurge for a fancy omakase experience or price is no object, you probably wouldn't come away from here disappointed. If you don't care that much about the fine dining experience and just want good sushi, there may be some more cost-effective spots in the city that would still feel decently fancy, although without the same reputation that Shiro's brand carries, IMO. Probably wouldn't come back on my own dime but all in all it was a good experience and my friends enjoyed it. read more
