What People Are Saying About Kasadela

The Scene – The entrance leads into a dim, narrow bar decorated with sake bottles, exposed brick and a beautiful arched wooden ceiling. The dining room alongside is brighter, thanks to a big picture window and glowing yellow orbs of light. A tastefully eclectic mix of music, ranging from Tom Waits to Duke Ellington, entertains locals who seem delighted to have stumbled upon the inconspicuous spot. – – The Food – Gourmet twists are given to simple Japanese dishes with even simpler prices. Sesame seeds add a nutty hint to sweet, thinly shredded burdock, while extremely…

One of my favorite places

by konkboy

This is a place that reminds me of my trip to Japan. The food is not sushi, but it is authentic Japanese bar food with some entrees if that's what you're after. There are specials that come and go, some, I wish, were permanently on the menu. This is the one place where I will order chicken wings. I like the small dishes like shisito and edemame. The broiled salted mackerel is another favorite of mine. The food smells like Japan to me and that's what I really like about this place. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

  • Pros: great small bar to just sit and drink and eat
  • Cons: only one bathroom

NO GOOD PEOPLE, RUDE

by mungo124

extremely extremely rude. bad bad business.

30 dollars minimum per person. which is totally ok.

the waiter came to us and forced us to order 50 dollars more because we didn't exceed 30 per person. we asked him 5 TIMES to make sure if he didn't miscalculate. he was getting upset we were asking him too many times. we didn't want to eat more at this point. we found out later we were totally over $30 per person when the waiter FORCED us to order more.

the bill came up to 53 dollars per person.

they FORCED us to order more food and FORCED to pay for it. what kind of restaurant is this? we tried to talk to the manager but she told us to shut up.

TRUE STORY. 9 of us were there. we couldn't believe these people. 9 of us and our friends are NEVER EVER GOING to this place. POOR SERVICE. POOR business mind. total sadness.

  • Pros: shrimps
  • Cons: RUDE

Great neighborhood find

by jennigiglio

I love this place! I live on the block and try to make it at least twice/ month. Everything I have eaten here has been wonderful. I have never been rushed but they do tend to get a bit nervous if you take a while to order. I love the filet and the tartare. Definitely a place to try.
