Takai by Kashiba Bellevue Reviews
This review is only for the lunch bento.
I been wanting to try kashiba in Bellevue for a while now but was hesitant since it's pretty pricey, so I decided to try the bento first. I ordered it a week in advance and it was pretty straightforward. When I got there, it was a little weird

Takai by Kashiba is easily one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. We chose the omakase and every single course was exceptional. The fish was unbelievably fresh and each piece was prepared with such care that the flavors were balanced and

[This review is for the lunch takeout] For $55 (after taxes and tip), I expected way more from a Kashiba establishment. The meal is half rice, with a thin layer of shredded omelette obscuring it on top. You only get one slice of each fish (and they&

I love this place! I've been here about 4 times in the past year. I always get the omakase and its so nice to not have to decide what to order. Iet them know that i don't like the cephalopod family which they avoided for me. All of the 10 c

This was definitely the high point of our trip to Washington this week! Takai by Kashiba is a gastronomic delight not to be missed by foodies all over the world. We sat at a table which was my only regret. It's much better to sit at the sushi b

The food is amazing--the fish is incredibly fresh and flavorful. We did the omakase at the sushi counter, where the chef prepared each nigiri in front of us while explaining the fish, which made the experience unforgettable. It is a little pricey, bu

Our party of 5 made reservations for 6:15pm through open table for a friend's birthday. We were doing our nails prior so took longer than expected. Two of us arrived at 6:22. The waitress said last call for Omakase is 6:30. We tried to expla
Tried the executive lunchbox for the first time.
It was ready for pickup at my scheduled time. Came in a bag and chopsticks. Amazing food. Premium sashimi included. Rice was delicious. My only qualm was that I wish it included a spoon as it was difficult to scoop up the rice with chopsticks. I wo

I finally got to try Takai by Kashiba and overall had a really enjoyable experience. I did the omakase, but sat at a table rather than the counter. While I missed out on the chef interaction, the staff still made sure everything was smooth and well-p
Wings!
This place is amazing. Rediscovered this past year. We had been regular customers when it was located in Queen Anne. Food same as I remembered. Love the Shish Tawook and the Farmer Wings(now renamed Uncle Toby's Wings). Service friendly and well
Second time seated with Chef Takai at the sushi bar.
Food, service, and ambiance were all superb. Zero complaints There was an 8 year old at the sushi bar (with his nanny?) and it was great fun watching him try to keep up for 23 courses. The look on his face when told there were 18 more after he fini

We love this omakase experience!! if any of our friends are visiting, and they want omakase, we would highly recommend this spot! We've been there twice, and the variety and quality of the fish is amazing! The chefs and waiters and waitresses
Went here Monday night for a customer dinner.
We were staying in downtown Seattle, but this location had availability and also offered omakase (chef's tasting menu/choice). At $195 per person, we decided to put ourselves in Chef Jun's hands. Rachel greeted us, offered to hang out coa
Really bad service and rude workers unfortunately.
Not the smartest when it comes to customer service. You can have just of great as an omakase somewhere else without the baggage.

The only reason this is a 4 star is because I've been to most of the other high end sushi places in the area and it's fierce competition. I'm sure on any given day they could all compete for the top spot. Ambiance I would describe as Bellevue standa

The fish was fresh, the service, impeccable, and the ambience was superb!! The bill at the end was high but not unreasonable. I will go back again even though it's almost $200 a person without alcohol.

Easily one of my top 5 dining experiences ever! This was a major splurge for us, as it was our 25th Wedding Anniversay celebration. Usually we'll travel out of the country for this special occasion, but there are several things that prevented us fr
This place is so good.
Amazing service as soon as you enter. They have coat check and even a purse hanger for you. When we left they handed our coats and they are warm and toasty. Very thoughtful. We sat at the sushi counter and I loved the experience. You get to see the
Came here for my birthday in February .
Had the omakase with an added fresh sea urchin. Service is polite and efficient . Multiple courses that are well presented and well explained. Plenty of food for omakase and well rounded and balanced omakase set. Intimate setting, good choices for dr

The reason why it took me so long to stop in here is because one of my sons doesn't really like fish and when I make reservations on OpenTable, it looks like the only choice is to have the full course menu. So there were three of us that went my son
High end, expensive and exquisite.
I've eaten there twice once for Omakase at the bar and a second time at a regular table. I did nigiri dinner with tempura order at the table and was still hungry after. however this and ascend are the fanciest restaurants with sushi in Bellevue if yo

This was a beautiful omakase experience in downtown Bellevue! We were very lucky to be served by Chef Jun the whole night by the sushi bar. The sushi bar experience is super worth it if it's your first time ever trying omakase. All the fish and ingr
This place was terrible.
Let me first start off by warning you that they don't have a full bar or a full sushi menu. They serve wine and sake and beer by the glass that starts at $22 and goes up from there. The sushi itself was just ok, I've definitely had better quality els

With the mixed reviews out there, I was curious to try out Takai to have my own take on the bar omakase. Chef Jun provided an outstanding variety with a lot of aged and marinated fish which makes his style unique. You'll see a lot of the classics and

Is the chef counter experience pricey? yes, but Takai is a special experience for sure. Best omakase on the Eastside in our opinions. Having lived in the Bay Area for a few years, we find that comparable omakase experiences in Seattle are available b
Heartbreaking.
Either they have changed management or changed ownership, but this is NOT the Mediterranean Kitchen you remember. I was there for a reunion with family as it had always been one of our favorite restaurants. But the wonderful, famous lentil soup? Gri

The best sushi i have had so far! If you are lucky and is in season, the Akamutsu nigiri is so yummy! The rice is very good too! Using hands to eat sushi and in 1 bite is the correct way

Takai by Kashiba was a great omakase experience! We walked in the restaurant and found out that our reservation was on a different date, but the staffs were still nice enough to seat us at the bar. Every single dish came out pretty fast and the staff
Good service.
We ordered a bunch of sushi, which were a little dry for us to enjoy. I would not recommend this place to anyone if you're looking for fresh and good quality sushi

Overrated! Service was amazing but the food was surprisingly disappointed. Many of the fish were fishy and the rice was too sour for sushi. Fried items were not good, the deep fried shrimp head was still dripping oil when served. For this price, I wo
Not great.
But it's ok. A good experience but the second time would be painful and boring. The wine pairings were missed. They need a better som to properly pair the sushi with each bite. The fish was great. Not the best in the city but good enough for the expe
We enjoyed our omakase dinner at the sushi counter here.
Chef is engaging and informative.Every dish was good, and some were over the top fabulous.People will want to compare with Taneda Sushi in Kaiseki. First, this space is larger and more modern. Second, Takai focuses almost exclusively on seafood, whil

This was a very nice treat and omakase tasting experience! Booking was easy, and we were lucky they had an opening available on the day we booked to sit at the sushi counter to get an upclose experience with Chef Jun. The tasting started almost pro
Definitely one of the best omakase experiences in the area.
All the nigiri was excellent and there was a decent variety of other interesting dishes. We didn't do the pairings but ordered a few glasses of sake with our meal and everything was delicious. My friend and I both have pretty big appetites but we lef

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Takai by Kashiba Bellevue at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Takai by Kashiba Bellevue page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Takai by Kashiba Bellevue to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Takai by Kashiba Bellevue!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
