I made a reservation a couple of months in advance. We ordered the omakase, which was 150 per person. This was the best night of my life. All of the courses were well thought out, so we could savor the previous courses. I don't think I've ever had such fresh and creamy uni before, and I thought that I didn't like uni before. The amberjack was so crunchy texturally, and the torched otoro was literally melt in the mouth but so delicious. Also the sweet shrimp was so so good.
The servers were very nice and accommodating, explaining how to eat everything and the order to best enjoy it. I definitely want to come back in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Aug 20, 2024
My partner and I came to Kashiba for their omakase counter the other day, and honestly it was just okay. We were worried about a wait knowing that the counter is walk in only, so we got there at 4:40 and were the first ones in line, so it wasn't too bad! The highlight of the dinner was the fact that we were served by Shiro himself. He was so great and definitely made the omakase experience fun.
Onto the omakase - there were a few really good pieces of fish but otherwise I think I was a little let down. First, it's not one of those omakase places where they serve you piece by piece. It's longer preparations in between each course, and they bring you multiple pieces at once. So for example, they served us three types of salmon at the same time, four pieces of white fish, 4 pieces of tuna, etc. I definitely prefer getting one piece at a time since that gives more time for you to cleanse your palate in between each piece. The standout pieces were albacore tuna from Seattle and their negitoro handroll to start. Everything else was good but not amazing, and if I were to spend this much on omakase, I would probably go elsewhere. For a similar quality of fish, I'd go to Shiro's in Belltown for a similar but cheaper experience. I will say they serve a lot of pieces though! I think we had 21 total pieces, and there's an additional $30 add on of 3 more pieces if you want. My partner got the add-on, and it was two fatty pieces and an oyster. Definitely glad I didn't opt for the add-on since I don't love fatty pieces of fish!
The service was great though! Everyone was super kind, and of course, Shiro was great himself.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lucas C.Salt Lake City, UT0105Aug 12, 2024
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 21, 2024
This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I would fly to Seattle just to go to sushi kashiba. The flavor and exquisiteness of each sushi was wonderful. You get a personalized experience with the sushi chef and you can eat at your own pace. The dinner is designed to intersperse traditional and new flavors. Each sushi is explained well. The portions are good as well. Ambiance is upscale.

Did the omakase experience here and I loved it! It ended up being 14 pieces of nigiri plus some extras. We didn't sit at the bar but it was still great nonetheless. The service was great and the staff was very knowledgeable. Upscale vibes inside.
This is everything we had:
Salmon albacore blue fin tuna from Spain sashimi - albacore was my favorite of the bunch
Seaweed konbu - I loved the konbu
Strawberries - a nice contrast
Toro handroll - very fresh and tasty
Albacore - same albacore from earlier
Blue fin tuna - same tuna from earlier, not my fave tuna
Toro - delicious
Sea bream - super flavorful
Flounder - also very strong
Tamago dobu in a dashi broth- broth was so good
Salmon - yum!
Sockeye salmon - probably most disappointing of the menu
Sweet Shrimp - this was my favorite!
Blue fin tuna - ok tuna
Seared tuna- probably best seared I had, not typically a fan of seared
Kanpachi - yummy
Almost snapper - didn't catch exactly what this was but chewy
Umi - very solid piece
Scallop - ok for scallop
Sushi donut eel - unique and delicious
Tamago - one of the best I've had
Miso soup - a great end to the mealHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Jun 22, 2024
Excellent sushi, amazing service (Brandon and the entire team was great), located a few steps away from Pike Place Market (very romantic and intimate experience)
We had 5pm reservations and when we arrived 5 mins prior to opening there was already a line out the door. My suggestion would be make reservations if you want to dine in as Sushi Kashiba is one of the best / if not the best Sushi spot in Seattle.
We wanted to try a bit of everything on this evening so went with the Omakase and just let the chef send dishes to the table. Every single item was excellent! Highly recommend if you want to enjoy an evening out / amazing sushi.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 17, 2024
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!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - Aug 3, 20241 check-in
Came here at 5pm on Friday night and it was really busy. We didn't get to sit front of chef but a table with view. It's located right near pike place so parking can be pricey but it's not bad as SoCal. The area was really cute and the restaurant was clean and cute as well. We got omakase 150 dollar course plus plum wine and white wine and it paired well. Definitely worth trying if you are around the area for wonderful omakase

For $150 we tasted the freshness of Japan in Seattle! This was my third time going to Sushi Kashiba and the quality has improved. The omakase menu this time has lots of sushi and a wide range of fishes. The sauce has definitely toned down on the salt and made the ingredients speak for itself. One highlight was the incorporation of mountain yam in the appetizer, tofu and tamago which shows how much they care about using the freshest ingredients at their prime time.
The service was very fast and the servers described the food in a way that makes it more appetizing. Super attentive where green tea was always refilled.
Sushi Kashiba is always packed so it's quite loud in the restaurant but it still feels elegant and looks super clean. I know it's not cheap but it's worth it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 250151242May 25, 2024
It's been a week since my omakase experience here and I'm still thinking about it.
We lined up an hour and a half early on a Friday evening, I think we could have gotten away with coming an hour earlier instead but we wanted to ensure our spot in the first round of people seated.
Service was very friendly and super attentive. I liked how interactive the chefs were and how they'd share tidbits of information throughout the experience.
Very generous amounts of sushi. We were super stuffed by the end of it. Everything was really amazing and mouth watering good. So worth the wait.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
