Editorial Review for Kasai Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi – by Dave Flomberg
In Short
Kasai chefs are among the elite teppanyaki chefs in the state. Teppanyaki cooking is the traditional form of cooking over a large, flat iron grill while diners are seated around watching; chefs perform acrobatic feats with cutlery as they produce tasty stir-fry dishes that blend steak, poultry, tofu and seafood with an assortment of vegetables. Kasai also boasts one of the freshest sushi bars in the area touting a wide selection of rolls and sashimi.

A co-worker and I saw their coupon in the Denver Tech Center Lunch Hour book and decided we'd give it a try. We got there about 10 min after 11, the place was empty, it took them 5 min to seat us, then when they did another 10 min before they took our drink order. We only have an hour lunch break like most people. We ordered Sushi, Muscles, Chicken Teriyaki Lunch Box, and Spicy Chicken Lunch Box. The avocado was BROWN in the Sushi, their Miso soup wasn't ready yet so they gave us this watered down chicken broth with three tinny slices of mushroom to pass it off as Clear soup. We were not amused. After sitting for way longer than we could afford to w/o being 10 min late to work, we told the waiter once we found him to please make it to-go, we only have an hour lunch. We waited another 5 min, got the food and left...both of our lunches were COLD! Both the rice and Chicken were cold and tasted horrible. The Muscles still have left a funny taste in my mouth and my stomach is rolling. The pot-stickers were also cold and the sauce they gave us to go with them was mostly vinegar with just a little bit of soy for coloring. Overall this was the WORST dining experience I've had in a long time and some of the WORST food ever. I wouldn't recommend it, and in our office we have put up the chopsticks on the bulletin board to warn off our co-workers not to go.
Pros: none
Cons: the sushi didn't taste fresh, the food was cold, the service was aweful

Kasai is basically Benihana without the fun frills. The food was okay and we had no complaints, but it doesn't make up for a lackluster dining experience. The cook we had was great and very friendly, but the wait staff was pushy and impatient (We had about 2 minutes to eat our soups and salads before we had the waitress asking us if we were done) The restaurant is set up so that you can either eat sushi at the bar, or order meats that are cooked on a giant grill. The seating is such that you sit around with a bunch of strangers, and we just so happened to be placed with a family containing two small children. I am okay with kids going out to dine with their parents, but I am not okay with a restaurant dispersing the children with regular adult patrons. I was annoyed that our conversation would have to be one that is suitable for little ears, and that everything that would be said would be heard by kids, not to mention, I am not going to pay 75 dollars for a dinner where I have to watch a 6 year old shove chopsticks up her nose. I don't know why this place would be recommended for a romantic dinner, because we could barely have an adult dinner as it was with the kids, and although kids are free to eat anywhere and that's fine, it was irresponsible of the restaurant and a bad judgment call to put familes and groups of adults together. This is a very "Highlands Ranch" restaurant that has been dulled down for the suburbanites and their 2.4 kids. There is no decoration whatsoever, and it's just a big, bland open space that is visually boring. I guess it's a great place for kids, but as an adult, I don't recommend it.
Pros: Watch your dinner be prepared and be entertained by your chef
Cons: If you can't fill up a grill, it's open season where you sit
