“ Stopped by Kessaku for a cocktail, and wow—what a spot. Sitting on top of the Thompson Hotel, it’s got some of the best views in Dallas. There’s a walkway that wraps around the entire top, so you can take in the city from every angle. Perfect for golden hour or just soaking in the skyline at night. Didn’t stay for food this time, but the vibe was sleek and intimate, and the drink was great. Definitely one of those places that makes you want to come back for the full experience. If you’re looking for a gorgeous view with a solid cocktail in hand, this is the place. ”
“ Kessaku is hands down one of the most exceptional dining experiences in Dallas. Perched high above the city, the restaurant offers a breathtaking 360-degree view that you can walk around and take in from every angle—whether you’re watching the sunset or admiring the city lights, the atmosphere is simply unmatched. Bar or restaurant seating available! The cocktails here are a true highlight—light, expertly crafted, and each with its own unique twist. They perfectly complement the sushi, which is on another level. The menu is intentionally limited, but that’s because every dish is meticulously curated and executed to perfection. Every piece of sushi is fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented, making it clear that Kessaku prioritizes quality over quantity. The service is just as outstanding as the food. Alexis, Catie, Justin, and Bri are my favorites, always making the experience even more special, but the entire team is incredible. They are warm, accommodating, and happy to cater to any special requests, ensuring that every visit feels like a truly personalized experience. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet intimate sushi spot with impeccable service, a phenomenal view, and unforgettable flavors, Kessaku is the place to be. Absolutely worth every visit! ”
“ Very welcoming adventure. Valet is available and the best option since its located downtown. Had reservations and it’s better. They do greet you with champagne at the lobby and they guide you to the elevator. The restaurant is one more floor above the steakhouse. But the restaurant is delicious. The views are amazing. The caviar was delicious and the cocktails to die for! I would love to do it all over again. ”

The sushi was absolutely delicious, with a special shoutout to the sashimi, which was fresh and perfectly prepared. The views of Dallas from the 50th floor were absolutely breathtaking and added such a magical touch to the evening! What truly made the night unforgettable was the incredible service. Our server, Alexis, was so patient in walking us through the menu and gave us fantastic recommendations. She made the evening feel extra special with her warmth and kindness, and even took some beautiful pictures of us to capture the memories. Thanks to the wonderful food, stunning views, amazing drinks, and especially the exceptional service, my birthday dinner turned into a truly memorable occasion. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special dining experience! ”

“ Was my first time here and I love it. The sushi is very limited, only 7 rolls in the menu and 7 appetizers to choose from but delicious. If you want a cocktail I recommend the Strawberry Blond. The restaurant has a 360 view of Downtown Dallas. Super romantic and at the same time a great place to hang out with friends. ”
