   Overall the sushi is awesome! So many options to choose from and each has its own unique flavor. The only disappointing thing we had were the martinis. We had three different kinds and they all had little to no flavor and very watered down.

   Great value! My husband loved the sushi. And I, as a non fish eater, had a wonderful dinner of varied appetizers. Would definitely return!

   Kansaku is a top notch restaurant. The decor was clean and simple. Plus, there was a red rose on the table to celebrate Valentine's Day. We actually came on 2/15/25. But the love vibe was still in the air. I ordered Chilean Sea Bass with Teriyaki Sauce, and my husband got the Bento Box. The food was fresh, savory, and moderately priced. We will return.

   The food was great, and on a less busy night, I would imagine the service and ambience would have been great too. Unfortunately, it was Valentines Day and a snow storm, so after waiting to be seated for our reservation, we had the "lovely" feature of delivery drivers standing around behind us waiting for their orders, and the staff were busy waiting tables, taking phone orders, and helping fill the carryout orders so I'm glad I didn't want another drink or to order anything else...

   We have eaten many times at Kansaku over the years and their food is always delicious. However, their service was horrible tonight. Our server did not come back to check on our table for over an hour and it took an hour and 15 minutes before we received our food! We even tried to get the people refilling water to get our server to come over, but he still didn't come over. It seemed like the restaurant and our server were prioritizing takeout orders over people dining at the restaurant. Our server was packing up carryout orders instead of taking care of his tables. It's ridiculous and unacceptable to be sitting for well over an hour without our server coming by to see if we would like to order another drink or to say that our food is coming or that they are backed up. The worst part was that when he finally showed up to our table, we mentioned something to him about where had he been for the last hour, and he wasn't even apologetic and didn't seem to care. He treated us like we were in the wrong for bringing it up. This experience left such a bad taste in our mouths that it will be really hard for us to return.

   Food was very good but service and ambience were incredibly disappointing. Don’t count on your reservation being honored (or being treated very respectfully when it is not).

    The food at Kansaku is fresh and well-prepared. We are fussy about where we get sushi and this is always one of our choices because we know that our meal will be delicious and fresh. We had nigiri, sashimi, miso soup, and Japanese pickle (wonderful!!! If you haven't tried it, make a point to do so your next visit.) Everything was delicious My one quibble is that the service was a bit rushed. I prefer to have more time when I eat out, but each course was brought out immediately after the previous course was cleared.
