Best Japanese Restaurants in Mercer Island

Great food, great atmosphere! A little pricy but worth it because of the quality of the food

I heard many great things about the Omakase experience here at Takai by Kashiba. Decided to take my girlfriend here to celebrate her birthday, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. The presentation of each course was immaculate, and staff had expert knowledge about each ingredient that was used and how the dish was prepared. This is truly the best Omakase I’ve ever tasted outside of Japan. I strongly recommend this restaurant

What’s great time we had for a work team dinner. The waiter and sommelier were awesome and the food was delicious!

Wild Wasabi flavors are off the chain!! We sat at the bar, I ordered Hibachi Filet Mignon and my husband ordered from the Tapas menu. Each item served was elegantly served and each distinct dish had its own beautiful flavor. The bar staff communicates well and checks in often, they are entertaining and efficient. We enjoyed our meal with complimentary saki tasting, we ordered wine and cocktails too. We dine here monthly and normally sit at the Hibachi tables, we will sit at the bar from now on, much more quiet and enjoyable. Thank you to the staff!!!

Delicious food and amazing service! The portions are smaller but that’s expected for such premium cuts of meats. The server cooked everything to perfection!
