Ambiance is amazing! Wish they had more seating, and was more comfortable. Despite this the view is spectacular, the drinks are delicious, and the food is so fresh. We got the cucumber salad which I will admit fell flat, although the salmon roll and spicy tuna roll made up for it! So fresh! The food did take a while to come, but our server was still amazing! Personable and interactive will definitely come back for Alexis! The lemon dessert was also so cute and flavorful!

Service was not the best, however food made up for it.
KessakuResponded on May 10, 2025
Diana, we are pleased to know you enjoyed our food so much. However, we are truly sorry if we missed the mark with our service. That's very unusual to hear. We always strive to provide attentive and friendly service, so this is definitely not up to our standards. Please message us with your reservation name and date so we can look into what happened and make sure it is not recurring. We would love the opportunity to make it up to you. Next time you visit, please ask for a manager so we can ensure you have an excellent experience in every way. Thank you. The Kessaku Dallas team

Overall we had a good time. The king crab roll was the best. The worse part of the evening was service. We waited about 10-15 mins after finishing each course to get another. Even the drinks took a long time. We waited a while for our waitress to come get our orders and even longer for the food and drinks.
KessakuResponded on March 1, 2025
Uyen, we are pleased you had a good time and enjoyed our food. However, we are genuinely sorry for the delays with your service. We always strive to provide attentive and friendly service, so this is definitely not up to our standards. Please email us with more details of your visit so we can look into what happened and see what we can do to earn the opportunity to make it up to you. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you. The Kessaku Dallas team
