Every time we go to Kasadela, which is on the far east end of the 11th street block between Ave B/C, I feel like we're taking a break from our daily lives and visiting an old friend. When it came time for Adam and I to plan our engagement party, we couldn't think of a better place than this friendly, fun, neighborhood treasure. Kasadela is an Izakaya which is a Japanese establishment that exists somewhere between restaurant, bar and general place to hang out. This is a great place to come with a group of friends or with that special someone. Come in, drink sake, enjoy delicious shared plates and generally have a merry time.
Must haves: Start with an order of Nori (roasted seaweed) to nibble on while you peruse the menu. It's hard to make a bad choice and it's fun to try something new each visit. I recommend the Eel & Cucumber salad but the star of the meal is always the chicken wings--your fingers will smell like garlic the next day but it's worth it. Finish the evening with the homemade Lychee sake and you'll be stumbling home happier than when you came.

This place is awesome. Two orders of chicken wings & an ice cold beer = a very happy birthday to me!
