Kasen is a ten-seat counter omakase in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, led by chef Kim Chu, whose training traces back to Shinji Murata. The fifteen-course meal moves from otsumami appetizers through sashimi and sushi to cooked washoku-style dishes, with each course prepared and served within view of the counter over roughly 90 minutes. The chef selects the lineup daily based on available seafood, though guests can choose a menu by focus: Premium, Sashimi, Seasonal or Wagyu. Premium is served only at the counter; the other three menus are also available in the private room.
Beyond the counter, Kasen has a separate upstairs private room accommodating two to twelve guests, best suited to groups of four to eight, with a minimum spend of 10,000,000₫. It's used for both special occasions and business dining. Sake pairing is offered alongside any omakase menu, and the restaurant serves both lunch and dinner daily from 10:30 to 22:00, with last arrival at 21:30; there are no fixed seating times.
Kasen has operated since 2018. Reservations run through Tock or can be requested directly via the restaurant's website, with confirmation by phone, Zalo, WhatsApp or email. The restaurant can accommodate a no-raw-fish version of the omakase and most dietary restrictions if mentioned at the time of booking. The address is 101 Lê Thị Riêng, Bến Thành, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
