"There are a few ways to have a meal at Sushi Kashiba. You can wait in line for a seat at the sushi bar, or call ahead and book a table. Either way, you’ll end up eating some very high-quality fish, from uni to otoro. In addition to the omakase, there are a few set menus, or you can select nigiri a la carte. It’s worth paying over $100 per person for the greatest sushi in the city. If you want a spot at the sushi counter, there are no reservations. For your best shot at a spot, you have to line up outside the restaurant before they open at 5pm (if you want to be first, start waiting at 3:30). Once they open, a host will tell you if you got a spot at the first seating or if you need to come back. For a regular table, Kashiba takes online reservations, with late-night availability starting about two weeks in advance and more flexibility if you book further out." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
