Kessaku is a casual restaurant serving a full range of authentic, top-quality Japanese food. True to their name, the word “kessaku” (pronounced kessah-koo, accent on the ‘koo’) translates to “creating masterpieces“. Their no-frills menu includes everything from sushi boats to tempura, wagyu cubes, and more. It’s for satisfying those never ending Japanese cravings. It’s not for those adventurous eaters looking for modern or fusion eats. We recommend the Chirashi Moriawase, Kessaku Sushi Boat, and the Angus Prime Chahan. Our insider tip: Enjoy their Classic Margarita, Lychee Martini, and Classic Mojito with their Extended Happy Hour! (P65/drink, 5-8pm Fridays-Sundays)
