Excellent service and food, but the restaurant layout was terrible (i.e., too many seats crammed into a tiny dining space). We had to physically move our table for each guest to sit.

Very disappointing, the food was horrible. The sushi plates we ordered were not fresh and the rice tasted old, so the seafood. I don’t mind paying for overpriced food but in this case, the food was horrible and I got bothered with the lack of quality. The waitress was ok, a bit snobbish and the other waitress serving water was extremely rude. We ordered six plates and at the end of each plate she would come to our table and ask- are you ready to order more ? She asked the same questions about ten times. We just wanted to relax, a joy our drinks, and enjoy the view. Extremely annoying. It seems like she wanted us to be consuming food for every second we stayed there. Not to mention we were still sipping on our drinks. We left less than an hour later because she was no annoying and rude. I have a lot of friends from work (I’m a lawyer) that comes to Dallas for work and always ask me for recommendations, I’m definitely telling them not to go to this place.

The best thing about this place is the view….and that’s what you’re paying for. The good we had was good. I ordered a $63 appetizer for my entree called the Miyazaki Nigiri, which was good and contained Wagyu and salmon, but I was disappointed because for that price the Wagyu was only in one of the 3 small pieces. All the other rolls my table had were good, king crab and tuna. Our waitress was very slow with ALL things…drinks, taking our order…I don’t know if this is by design or not. The food menu is very limited, where the wine and cocktail menu is extensive! I probably won’t go back, but if I do it’ll be to Monarch. The chocolate soufflé goes hard there!

The food menu was uninspiring. Sashimi, nigiri and rolls were mediocre at best. Nigiri was made without a dab of wasabi and with rice that fell apart while eating. I've eaten better sushi at fast-food sushi spots around Dallas. The only redeeming items were the inventive, unique cocktails.

My date and I found that the attention on the Monarch downstairs greatly overshadowed Kessaku. While the view was great, their focus is largely on the drinks. If you’re looking for a lounge to impress a date consider stopping here after dinner. But if you’re looking for great sushi, you’ll find the prices high, the selection low, and the quality merely acceptable.

First off, the view is great. We sat at a two top and were able to enjoy our meal unobstructed. Service and food were good, no issues but with such a small menu it’s unfortunate that truffle is such a predominant ingredient in several dishes. The restaurant is incredibly loud, and they compensate by playing louder almost club music, which causes people to talk even louder. This feels like a one time special occasion restaurant and after you realize that it was just OK and you won’t be back.

If you are looking for a special intimate dinner with your spouse this is not the place. Whoever designed the set up made a huge mistake, a table of two will end up sitting on a sofa lounge couch with two other strangers besides them. The seating options are weird and awkward. The sushi is good no complaints there. The menu is very small and very limited. Service felt rush I wasn’t even done with my drink when someone came to pick it up. I politely said I’m not done yet. I felt that servers ambassadors were constantly at our table picking up things immediately trying to turn the table. We ended up only staying for dinner 30 minutes or so.

The tables close to the windows have a great view. If you’re sitting in the middle you can still see the view but more than likely are sitting with other diners not in your party. We had a reservation however we were told to go to the observatory for a few minutes because they had sat our waitress too many times. A few minutes later we were texted that our table was ready and they tried to sit us at the opposite end of 3 people but we’d have to move the entire table to enter and get our legs under so not wanting to disrupt the table we asked to be sat somewhere else. After awkwardly waiting in the middle of the dining room they sat us somewhere else. Our waitress was okay she took our order but nothing special or exceptional about the service.

I love the experience and it has a really nice view. The drinks and service were good but the food is a bit limited. It's not really a true sushi place if you want to have sushi. The fish was fresh, and it tasted good, but the options are very slim, as you can tell from the menu. I think it's a great place for a date but not worth spending all the money on sushi there.

While the view and atmosphere is phenomenal, the sushi selection and taste was very basic. I get that the price is based on the view you get but come on, $30 for a sushi roll. The service was awesome and fast. The Dallas 360 skyline view was a sight to see on a night out. If you are looking for something different, go for it, but don’t expect the sushi to WOW you based on the price. But once you get past that, this is a really nice experience for an anniversary or special date because of the view.

What a nice surprise , hidden in downtown Dallas. The time was set perfectly from the moment we walked through the entrance. We were greeted with complimentary champagne, then taken up to the 49th floor , short walk up the stairs to the 50th floor ! Service was excellent, very attentive and quick. Drinks were on point . Great variety . We ordered the Tower , and it did not disappoint. Our compliments tot he Sushi Chef . Our favorite item was the Nigiri sushi with caviar and bacon. Best item hands down. Highly recommended can’t forget about the 360 degree observation deck of downtown.

Skip it! Maybe worth the trip downtown (and valet and a wait to go up in the elevator) to enjoy a nice view and have a drink but NOT to have a nice date night. Extremely limited sushi selection or any other food options but yet a kajillion drink options. Sashimi was good per my husband but cooked options were only ok at best. Restaurant itself is a tiny crowded space, lots of selfie takers. We had the idea to leave while we were strolling around the observation deck waiting for our table and honestly wish we had so we could at least salvage the evening. Super loud club music so conversation is almost impossible. BONUS - had to wait 30 minutes for our "reservation". Don't understand the rave reviews for sure. Never going back!

Paris, thank you for your visit, but we apologize for any wait you had and are sorry you didn't feel the ambiance was ideal for you. We'd love the opportunity to have you back someday so we could show you to our most quiet section and make sure you find items on the menu you will love. We hope to serve you again someday soon.
