Kasai Peoria - Japanese Steakhouse: Reviews & Ratings

My husband and I have been going to the Kasai Peoria location since it opened in December, 2023 and have became regular customers - sometimes twice a week. Food and bar service is exceptional, as are the Teppanyaki tables which we've been to many times. Over the last couple of months the vibe has changed due to a change in the GM who is extremely unprofessional - we have listened to her talking down to employees and even customers. We have became friends with many of the staff over the last couple of years, however the new GM hardly even acknowledges us when we are there. I really hope the owner can see where the real issue lies otherwise he's going to lose more good people because of one person who is clearly not cut out for a GM role. However, if you go please give a shout out to Head Teppanyaki Chef Jesse, Exec Chef Sal, Bar Manager Meranda, servers Courtney, Jalen, Alexandro and Chiana. I was going to mention Floor Manager Azis, but he is the latest to be let go by the GM.

Do yourself a favor and go order a tropical roll at Kasai! Oh my gosh, it is one of the best rolls I've ever had. So much flavor and no rice. Which made it so light and delicious. We enjoyed all of the food and the service was great. Marquel was personable, funny, and really made it enjoyable evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's a louder atmosphere due to the Teppanyaki tables.

Our go-to place for sushi; Friends With Benefits roll is my favorite in Phoenix. However, outside of the sushi, the food is ok at best. Additionally, almost since this place has been opened, the management has been assuring me that online ordering was in the works. This is not a priority for them; if they are actually working a software solution for online ordering, they need to fire their contractor that is doing it. I've told them repeatedly that I would probably order twice as often if I did not have to call in the order, but it falls on deaf ears.

My daughter was craving Hibachi but the Hibachi restaurants in AZ so far have missed the mark. While looking for a place, I came across Kasai Park they do Teppanyaki cooking. Which is the same as Hibachi but this place is better. I made reservations, as soon as we arrived we got seated. The two servers were amazing! They were attentive, friendly and just overall awesome. Our cook was interactive and funny. My kiddos liked it. My son doesn't like fried rice but he loved their fried rice. He also got some sushi which is nice. It's an entertaining restaurant, it is very loud, I couldn't hear my kids or husband but it's all about the experience. So if you come here expect it to be loud.

We went for the dinner show with friends on a double date night and we were not disappointed. Once they worked out the kinks with our seating arrangements, things went smooth for our 6pm reservation. Service was good and the wait staff was on top of things. The food was good and worth the show. We had the filet and lobster and filet and scallops. Scallops first time around were undercooked but the chef was happy my husband said something and cooked them a few minutes longer before returning them to his plate. The fried rice was delicious and had good flavor. It was a good experience with lots of courses to enjoy. Worth the cost for sure.

Went here for the spouses work party. It was great! They had awesome cocktails, including a lavender lemon drop that isn't on the menu but the server recommended and they made for me anyway. The food was delicious and the show was entertaining. Would definitely go back for a date night.

We made reservations for Mother's Day, it is insane and crazy. Everyone wants a part of this! Of course, Teppanyaki was our pick. It was a lot of fun and the environment is fancy. Each Teppanyaki meal is accompanied by mushroom soup, house salad, a shrimp starter, fried rice, seasonal vegetables, and the frozen pineapple soft - serve dessert. I ordered the New York Strip and Chicken Breast! Then the cooking show began! The chef displayed his skills with fire, tricks, and jokes. He was great and cooked everything to perfection too! It was crazy busy so service was a bit slower. I was very full, but my friend insisted we need to order the Brown Butter Cake (Bourbon caramel toffee crunch ice cream, caramel sauce, raspberry sauce, and seasonal berries). Ok, she was 100% right. It was SO GOOD!

Kasai Park West Peoria has easily become my new favorite restaurant on the west side for happy hour, meeting friends for dinner and enjoyed several teppanyaki celebrations. First of all, the food is aesthetically pleasing but not too pretty to not devour. Same goes for their signature cocktails. Secondly, the entire staff works as a team to make sure your experience is memorable. The place, utensils, plates, glasses are all spotless and you do see servers cleaning the stemware. I appreciate that! Ample clean bathrooms, plenty of parking at the rear of the restaurant. I cannot say enough great things about this establishment! Now I don't have to drive to their Scottsdale location. Bonus points for being on the west side of the valley. TY!!
