Dining Guide

Focusing on local, organic and sustainable products, dashi is the newest addition to the Ketchum dining scene. The new restaurant, opened by Chef Tyler Stokes, who has a spontaneous, open minded approach to food, has built a reputation the last five years in the Valley as someone who cooks with passion, integrity and respect for food and the diner alike. Focussing on modern Asian cuisine with a strong New American influence, dashi is committed to local products and farmers.
The menu at dashi is dictated by the seasons and the inspiration that each one brings. The freshest, most sustainable seafood is presented in sushi rolls, sashimi, salads and plated entrées designed to show the qualities and versatility of each individual fish. Local, organic and natural meats are featured, as well as wild game and fowl. Regular features at dashi include homemade ramen noodles in long-established Japanese traditions with our homemade stocks and broths.
Enjoy our popular steamed pork buns, local elk carpaccio, wagyu beef shabu shabu, tartares, foie gras, dungeness crab dumplings or miso soup to start then move onto an entrée of black cod, diver scallops, baby back ribs, organic chicken, grass fed beef, local lamb or our daily fresh fish specials. Everything is made in house at dashi including our desserts and assorted ice creams.
The atmosphere at dashi is modern, clean and casual, large windows encase the dining area with some of the best views of Baldy in town. We are in the new “bistronomic” school of restaurants, juxtaposing three star cuisine with humor and accessibility. By doing away with the Old World dress codes, white table clothes, elaborate floral displays and replacing them with hip music and a lively relaxed atmosphere, we are helping to redefine what fine dining means. The formal service and wine list is overseen by certified sommelier Robert Jensen and focuses on the best that the Pacific Northwest and California have to offer as well as some Old World selections. The beer list is not to be overlooked featuring the best craft beers available and a large selection to choose from. Sake is a must at dashi as we have a large selection of the finest premium Japanese sakes to enjoy.

Enjoy ahi tuna tartare, wagyu beef carpaccio, an assortment of fresh lettuce wraps, fresh ramen and soba noodles, steamed buns and miso to start, then move onto an entrée of black cod, king salmon, organic chicken, grass-fed beef or rabbit. Open for lunch, we will be also serving Vietnamese bahn mi sandwiches featuring organic baggets, homemade terrines and pickled vegetables.
