Maison Kasai

We had a 7:45 reservation, arrived at 7:37. Told we would have to wait until our reservation time to be seated. At 7:45 , told unable to seat us yet. Finally escorted to a table by 8:15. Table service was pleasant but slow. Our teppanyaki chef was pleasant but quite low key. The menu sounded interesting, but the food was not unique.. it was okay.. quite pedestrian. We ordered the DineLA menu.. if we had paid full fare, I would have been disappointed. When the check arrived, there was a credit card fee already included.. and that amount taxed as well. We were paying cash . Kind of sneaky to tax the credit card fee!

Everything was great from start to finish. The service was amazing, and both the food and drinks were excellent. The manager, Walter, personally called to invite us back for a redo, and the experience truly exceeded our expectations. A big thank you to him and the team for making it right.

The food at Maison Kasai was amazing. You get 3 courses and a dessert. If you come here expect 2-3h of dining experience. Every guest can customize the courses with different choices of protein, like Wagyu or Lobster. Every table can take up to 8 persons and each table gets one cook that will stay throughout the entire evening. The food is $110 for each person but the price may vary if you customize/substitute your ingredients.Cocktails are amazing and the restaurant also offers to make a drink non-alcoholic upon request. The experience is indescribable and I would definitely come here again (for a special occasion).

I spent $500 on 2 people and both of us weren't satisfied. I suggest the A5 Waygu Cheeseburger comes off the menu. This the second time I had it and had to request it be comped from my bill. The two highlights of our dinner experience was the ambience and presentation of the drinks we ordered. If I was to come back it would be to order a drink and shrimp fried rice.

Brought group to celebrate a birthday, Maison Kasai did not disappoint. Food was delicious, drinks made fresh and pleasantly to keep us entertained from the chef to the magician. Will be back!

Had dinner here Saturday night and being avid fans of Benihana, I didn't have high hopes. Upon arrival, we entered into a bar that was quite loud and very full, and that caused a bit of concern, but then we were led through a hidden door and the ambiance changed from loud and crowded to elegant and quiet. The interior was beautiful and so clean. Star #1. After being seated, we were offered a choice of water and complimentary glass of champagne. Our server went over the menu and allergies, to which we mentioned a squash allergy, and everything was well accommodated. I ordered the lions mane with the Hokkaido scallop add on, and she ordered the prime skirt steak. We also shared a bottle of junmai daijingo sake. Ordering was easy and spot on. Star #2. While we were waiting for the chef, pre-enterainment was a magician with a few really good card tricks that engaged everyone and it was a nice touch while we enjoyed our drinks. Star #3. The chef comes out and starts to cook with all of the usual bells and whistles, but the presentation and the show was far better and much more flamboyant than anything I've seen, and everything was cooked to absolute perfection. The lions mane was absolutely beautiful, add I've never seen unprepared fresh lions mane before. The seasonal vegetables were beautiful as well. Then the Hokkaido scallops were cooked. I always order scallops if i see them, but these were the best scallops I've ever had. The cook on them was so perfect, i was blown away. No wonder he cooked them last, and just by themselves, to give them undivided attention. The desert was lychee sorbet with coconut flaked that tasted like a frozen lychee, divine. Star #4 Toward the end of the meal, sake bottle empty, our serve noticed and poured us 2 extra shots from the house bottle of junmai. Very nice touch. Then the server cleans the griddle while putting on a nice show, followed by a belly dancer/ fire eater and it was a great touch to the evenings' entertainment. Star #5

Always a great experience. Chef Adrian was talented and fun! The bar staff was very accommodating and educated

I've been there several times prior when you would get the waygu they had a different assortment of vegetables that was cooked just for the A5 Wagyu this time. It was the same vegetables as everyone else which took away from the experience. Also, the last time I came, the chef sliced the waygu in slices  this time, the chef chopped it all up into little bitty pieces which I didn't like

On level 8 with a bunch of other restaurants and a bit hard to find since it's like a maze. Once inside, there's a host that'll great you and then you walk through a bar that has live piano / band music later in the evening. Go through another “secret” door for the restaurant. Started off with a quick magic show and then the appetizers. Drinks are good but expensive. Didn't give us the option for tap water. Main course was waaaaay too salty. The only thing edible were the vegetables since it wasn't seasoned. Their seasoning has waaaay too much salt. Suggest you tell them to hold the seasoning and add it yourself later if needed. Do they even try their food?

Hella good food. Soup was very savory. Salad was very good and I'm a salad snob. Fish was perfectly cooked. Fried rice was probably the best fried rice I've had this year.

This place was a disappointment. I made a reservation for a party of five and noted that we were celebrating a birthday. We were seated with another group of four—also a birthday celebration—which was fine, but I still had to remind the staff about both birthdays before they brought out the desserts. Service was extremely slow, and no one came by to bus the table, so dishes piled up throughout the meal. Someone from our group eventually had to get up and ask the staff to clear it. The chef also over-salted nearly every dish, which weakened the flavors of the main course. Overall, I'd rate the food a 6/10, especially considering the price point. What bothered me most was that someone in our party ordered a glass of wine and was charged for a full bottle. Thankfully, I caught the error before we left. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, and I wouldn't return.

Outstanding food and service - the whole level 8 is a very fun place to spend a night with a good company!

Took wife out for a elevated experience started out nice end up not so happy we ordered chicken i added shrimp fried rice which tasted lil fishy to me wife ordered crab fried rice these items were served fairly hot. The chicken was not so hot I forced myself to eat majority of chicken which I knew was impossible to send back wife did not eat half her chicken afterwards both of us had a after taste left in our mouths I tried to surprise wife with something different which we both said we definitely don't have to return. To top it off they are cash less which I missed reading so forced to use credit card which they applied a 3% credit card fee if I would've known I would have chosen a different restaurant to take the queen to . Wife wasn't pleased i have to make it up to my queen. I dont go to restaurant who dont accept cash especially who charge extra for card transactions I hate credit cards.

Wife and I ordered the chicken, I had shrimp fried rice and wife had the crab fried rice. Chicken was served cold and left a bad taste in our mouths wife couldn't even finish her chicken I tried forcing mine as far as I can normally I would finish wife food be didn't have no desire to. It was date night for my wife wish I would've chosen a better place for her to enjoy her surprise dinner we both said we tried it and definitely don't have to go back. Disappointed for sure

9:45 pm reservations turned into a 10:20 seating, waited with the rest of our table until 10:45 for water and finally cocktails to be served. These were really tasty cocktails, but after the wait, we felt like chugging them! Service staff was great, but understaffing made for huge time gaps in taking our orders, delivering drinks, then BIG pause before a soup ( delish, but then by this time we were starving) the a salad, which was soaked in a vinegar dressing that pickled our teeth and couldn't be eaten by any at our table. We reported this to the waiter who was very responsive, and wanted to make amends, so graciously brought specialty shots to us. It was nearly 11 o'clock before chef came to start teppan grill. Matt was awesome and delivered a spectacular meal with his personal flourishes, so he saved the evening BUT it was so late the we were the only table left, and all workers but our server had all gone leaving us to find our own way out from this cleverly tucked away dining area. A pricey dinner, though delicious food, and way too much time waiting! Might try again, but at a much earlier time. Perhaps, this place should not allow late reservations if staffing does not support it.
