Great place! Clean, easy to get to, great service and great sushi

The service was terrible. There was no water in my glass, we only got one napkin for five dishes, and they were very pushy about adding a 20% tip. I was very disappointed with the service and will not be returning to this restaurant.

This place hits the spot if you are looking for a trie Japanese steakhouse! That ginger dressed salad, mushroom soup, and hibachi were excellent!

Food was delicious, but the restaurant was empty. Only two wonderful people working here and still got the food out in a short time. It was good food for a CHEAP price. More people need to come here because I want this place to do well.

I have been coming here since 2017 and I have never had a subpar meal. Everything is super fresh, and delicious. The Saki selection is quite large and you can even buy to take home with you. The owner and his wife are genuinely kind and caring individuals. When my Grandma passed away we stopped here after my final goodbye. Xing the owner made a special boat for me, and since I was teary eyed and sad, he let me take the boat home and return it the next day. It was quite comical trying to get the giant wooden sushi boat in the back seat and out again. It was truly a kind gesture I will never forget. I do not live in the neighborhood anymore, but when I am near I always stop here. Do yourself a favor and stop by - tell Xing I said hi and I guarantee he will remember you the next time you come in. These spots are few and far between - I am so happy to see them in a day in age when everyone is treated like a number.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Kasa Sushi Restaurant tonight! I'm visiting from out of town and stay nearby at an airbnb when I'm in town. I've been meaning to try this restaurant and I'll definitely go back! I had the peanut avocado vegetarian roll and cucumber vegetarian roll along with spring rolls and sake. Service was excellent, and I got my food in a flash! They said 15 minutes, and I think it was barely over 5 minutes! The rolls were fantastic, and I'm so excited that there were quite a few vegetarian ones to pick from! Definitely very vegan and vegetarian friendly!

We came here with Hubby's friend for dinner. The place looked very secluded. Nothing was going on around the restaurant, just the empty parking lot because it was still early. Surprisingly, the food was excellent! I had salmon hibachi, Hubby got a dragon roll, and our friend got beef and shrimp hibachi. We also got a house salad and agadashi tofu. Of course, I had a hot tea to go with my food. So ok, I could skip agadashi tofu. They made it slightly different here, not quite agadashi tofu. The salad's ginger dressing was excellent. I also got a clear soup, which I thought was quite nice. My hibachi salmon was perfect! I loved the vegetable that was served along with my salmon. Both salmon and vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. Even the teriyaki sauce was excellent too. The dragon roll was amazing! It had eel, cucumber, tobiko, and avocado. Try it! We had Lisa to take care of our table. She was a big help! The restaurant is pretty big. I bet a lot of people come in later. We just happened to be there early. I don’t mind coming back next time to try a different dish. The reviews were right. It was excellent!

Food was a pleasant surprise, extremely affordable and tasty. Service was excellent, our server was very sweet and polite. Will definitely be back, I’m surprised this place doesn’t get more business.

Absolutely love this place. It’s so hard to find good Hibachi. Most places have rubbery meat, or super oily rice, or are absurdly priced. This place is a your classic locally run joint that dishes out great food and a reasonable price point. The portions sizes are great, my girlfriend can never finish her whole hibachi plate and I am fully stuffed if I finish mine. I can’t comment on the service or atmosphere as I’ve only done takeout. Online order, ready in 20 minutes, bang. Love it. A consistent go to. Highly recommend

Loved this spot! My partner and I came here for dinner the night after getting into town and were extremely happy with how delicious, fresh and filling everything was. Inari sushi is one of my favorite, and theirs are big, full and tasty. Partner got the pork katsu, said it was 9/10 and on par with some of the best places back home for half the price. I’m a bit annoyed at other reviewers chastising the look/feel of the place - it’s small but charming, cozy, and comfortable; nothing too fancy or trying too hard. The young girl is quite obviously trying her best, and was attentive and understandable the entire time. Guess I’m just a bit more empathetic towards family run businesses whose native language isn’t English but who try. Feel like people just need to be a bit more patient and understanding. Overall, highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious, authentic and down-to-earth Japanese dinner :)

Vegetarian options: Specifically-labeled veggie rolls, such as sweet potato roll, cucumber roll, avocado roll, etc. Both sushi pictured are both vegetarian!

Came here for my birthday lunch celebration and what a disappointing experience it was. I always get chirashi and it was by far the worst one I’ve ever seen. The server was also rude.
