Omakase at Kasen
Sushi in Saigon
Rooted in Japanese tradition. Distinctly Saigonese.
The difference is in the preparation: the texture of the fish, the precision of each cut and Kasen’s own sauces and companion ingredients. Kim Chu leads the meal from sashimi through sushi to cooked washoku courses.

Trust the chef
The sushi only Kasen makes.
Kim Chu’s approach draws on years with Shinji Murata at Hiko Sushi in Los Angeles. At Kasen, that experience meets Japanese seafood and seasonal local ingredients, with techniques continually refined.

The Kasen progression
From sashimi to sushi and cooked courses.
Sashimi opens the meal: skillfully prepared and cut seafood, served with Kasen's own sauces and companion ingredients.
Sushi follows. Soft, delicate fish meets warm, distinctly seasoned shari—familiar sushi with a different feel.
Cooked washoku courses close the meal, bringing Kasen's refinement of Japanese tradition into the final dishes.
