A typical fancy omakase meal that I'm not sure if I would come back. The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat). I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part ... and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense read more

Omaniku - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Omaniku was one of my favorite meals of the year! Came here to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was delighted with the experience. It is located inside of the Sheraton hotel and everything inside is quite modern. The restaurant has a lounge steakhouse vibe to it. We made reservation using Resy for a Wednesday night. We ordered the Omaniku menu set which comes with 11 items and added a number of add ons to make the menu more spectacular. I recommend to try everything. Food tasted delicious, presentation was memorable, and the staff were spectacular. The drink menu was limited but had great options. I will definitely be dining here again! read more

If you've never been here before, you absolutely have to give it a try. This is our go-to spot for birthdays and anniversaries, and they never disappoint us. The service is consistently attentive--they check in often, and our glasses are never empty. Our Server Dora is truly amazing. She always takes such great care of our group and makes every visit feel special. The food is consistently delicious, and the pricing is very reasonable for both the quality and portion sizes. We almost always end up taking food to go, which we really appreciate since many places don't allow that--especially while charging much higher prices. Their drink menu is also fantastic, and the kids' meals are always a hit. We'll definitely keep coming back for future celebrations. Thank you Omaniku! Thank you so much, Dora--we highly recommended! read more

Omaniku...oh man, where to start. It's tucked away in a Sheraton hotel; we went on a Monday night and there was only one other table serviced the entire time we were there. Felt like a private dining experience. We ordered one seafood menu and one beef menu and EVERY. DISH. WAS. 100/100! From the presentation, to the flavors, to the service - it was delectable! We added the Bone Marrow Rice and it was a hit. Soft yet crunchy hot rice in a clay pot, glossy fattening bone marrow, tender meat and a raw egg...what's not to love? The seared scallop with truffle butter was a delicious dish. The scallop was seared perfectly with a soft moist tender inside. The Unicrab was a close runner-up. I love uni and this dish was fresh, soft and buttery. The cold ice presentation was pretty cool too. Service was great, there was always someone near by to help answer questions and food came out promptly. If you enjoy eating fatty, tender meat and seafood and have a healthy liver, good cholesterol levels, or a low lipid panel...this is a must try. read more

It is a nice restaurant with the right ambiance. Drinks are good and the bartender was so attentive. As for the food, between meat and seafood, I would recommend to pick seafood over the meat as it is too overwhelming with no dish to cleanse your palette or vegetables dishes. The sauces were used tasted the same for almost all of them. As for the seafood, I would say the shrimp and the lobster were overcooked a bit. The spaghetti was very lacking in term of flavor and dry. Overall, if you're there for the alcohol then it is worth it. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday with a reservation. At $128 for 11 courses, pretty reasonable. However, it was hit or miss for both the beef and seafood. Some courses were oddly more salty than others. If I had to pick between the two, I think seafood edges out the beef course, as the beef tended to be saltier more often. I don't recommend drinks, as they weren't memorable, and it's a separate check (served from the Sheraton bar) Got a chawanmushi on the house for SO's birthday. It was probably our fave thing - so silky, tasty, and hearty. 1. BUTTERFLY YUZU CLEANSER: Butterfly Pea Flower Tea blended with Japanese Yuzu. This is always a refreshing palette cleanser 2. UNIniku "Gold" Grade Beef Tartare with Truffle-Infused Yakiniku, Crispy Nori, and Fresh Uni. SO liked this beef more than the Seafood version which was topped with Dungeness Crab, which was more fishy than I would've liked. I did very much like the way it was served in a bowl of liquid nitrogen - that was quite cool. 3. a5 wagyu amuse A5 Wagyu Tartare served with in-house Ponzu Jelly. 3. seasonal oyster, ponzu jelly Fresh Seasonal Oyster topped with Delicate Ponzu Jelly. Small but tasty 4. SRF "GOLD" Outside Skirt, Ponzu sauce Snake River Farms Gold Grade Outside Skirt Finished with Ponzu 4. tiger prawns, Tangy mayo Seared Tiger Prawns served with Tangy Mayo. sizeable shrimps! yummy 5. srf "Gold" Short Rib, boursin yakiniku Gold Grade American Wagyu Short Rib with Boursin Yakiniku. we liked the boursin more than the meat... 5. Branzino, tomato sauce Branzino paired with a Tomato White Wine Reduction: crispy and yummy! 6. Celadon Trinity Ponzu Marinated Spring Mix with sliced Cucumber, Tomato, & Bamboo Shoots. Super refreshing, and one of our fave course. 7. seared scallops, truffle butter Pan-Seared Scallop served with Rich Truffle Butter and Crispy Garlic Toast. toast was yummy, scallop was pretty good too. Truffle butter on the saltier side. 8. SRF "GOLD" Ribeye Inside, Bordelaise Gold Grade American Wagyu Ribeye Inside Cut served with Bordelaise Sauce: not memorable 8. lobster tail, compound butter Lobster Tail served with Compound Butter (cooked with various spices): pretty good! 9. a5 wagyu, goma sauce Japanese A5 Wagyu paired with Nutty Sesame Goma Dressing 9. crab cake Savory Fried Crab Cake served with Snow Pea Purée. not impressed by this; also fishier than I would've liked 10. Bone marrow rice Rich Bone Marrow Rice Topped with Prime Beef, Egg Yolk, & Crispy Nori. saltyyyy 10. Creamy pasta Rich and Creamy Spaghetti Noodle topped with Snow Crab. Less heavy, compared to the bone marrow rice. i liked it! 11. Mango pudding Light and Refreshing Mango Pudding topped with Fresh Fruits and Mint. Tasty! Birthday dessert was a frozen version of the mango pudding with an artistic cherry blossom tree made with chocolate/matcha powders. so cool! Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend others to try this place, especially for an occasion - more so for the experience than for the food. Parking was validated and easy. read more

Omaniku is a fine dining restaurant located in the Sheraton hotel in San Gabriel. Guests have the option between a beef or seafood tasting menu. We came as a party of 9 for my friend's birthday and all opted for the beef - the Omaniku tasting course. We were seated in a private room. It was relatively quiet with few other guests. The ambiance didn't feel quite right. I felt like I was sitting in a hotel lobby or an office conference room as opposed to a luxury restaurant. The lighting was a bit too bright, and the table, made up of several other tables with a tablecloth on top, had several bumps and gaps.  I started with a Tokyo Night cocktail from the bar, which set me back $18. Sake base with grapefruit, grated ginger, nutmeg, and sparkling water. It was good. Sweet and refreshing with a strong rice wine flavor. The actual meal left me disappointed. It started strong enough. First, we had the Butterfly Yuzu Cleanser, a palate cleanser made of butterfly pea flower and yuzu. Then, our servers brought each of us an ornate black sphere. Opening it revealed a cloud of mist and a "one bite" beef tartare topped with uni and served on a nori cracker. The uni was fresh and buttery and melded beautifully with the raw beef. The nori gave a nice surprising crispness. The A5 Amuse was good too - more beef tartare served on a "one bite" spoon with truffle jelly. For me, the meal reached its peak here. I found fault with the remaining courses in one way or another whether it be their flavor pairing or quality of cooking. The next dish for example, the USDA prime skirt, was cooked tenderly, but its natural juiciness and aroma were vastly overpowered by the ponzu sauce and onion. The ponzu was very tangy. The onion was sweet, caramelized, and biting. All together, however, it was too much and the meat did not shine. In addition, there was too much onion. In terms of volume, I felt like there was more onion than meat on the plate. The chive on top was just overkill. Next was the short rib, which was largely unimpressive. The meat itself tasted bland with most of the flavor coming from the dill garnish. In this dish, the eggplant, which should have just been a side, outshined the beef. The vegetable trio dish was refreshing. I liked the pickled bamboo shoot and the tangy sauce. The green beans kinda just tasted like cold green beans. We then received a crab chawanmushi on the house because it was my friend's birthday. It was one of the better dishes of the night. The egg was silky, warm, and filling. The broth was umami and delicious. Then, we were each served an overcooked scallop with a side of garlic bread. The scallop was very disappointing. It was tiny. The texture was all wrong - mealy, stringy, and tough. It did not taste fresh. I was not getting truffle from the truffle butter. The broth and scallop were bland. The best thing on the plate was the garlic bread. The ribeye was fine. I don't remember much about it other than it was served with a Bordelaise sauce. The A5 Wagyu with goma sauce was.. Fine. Objectively, it tasted good. But when I compare it to similar dishes I've had, I wasn't too impressed. I think it was slightly overcooked as the edges were a bit charred. It was not as tender and buttery of a bite as I was expecting for A5 Wagyu. The bone marrow rice was a huge let down. I don't know why they chose to sear the bone marrow. It looked dry before they even began mixing it. I did not taste the bone marrow in the rice. I was expecting a fatty richness to coat the grains of rice, but I did not get that at all.  Mango pudding was good. At $128 per person, this tasting menu is definitely expensive. Was the food disgusting? No. It was decent. But at this price, I was expecting so much more and was severely disappointed read more

12/21/2025 - Decided to take an Omaniku Seafood Menu $128 with 11 courses. Every course is 5 stars excluding Branzino /Tomato Sauce and Zucchini Aioli - Branzino, in my opinion, should be placed with skin facing up so that a crispy skin will not be soggy or soft, which ruined a tasting characteristics. Also, Seared Scallop, Truffle Butter, is 4 stars because the size is too small in comparison to a large size (yummy or wow) in the past - blame the wage increase or inflation, etc. Zucchini Aioli is fine, which is just a dish for transitioning to three seafood courses soon. The last course Mango Pudding was replaced with a holiday special chocolate cake, but I prefer to have a Mango Pudding as desert! The ambience is excellent - see some photos for details - This restaurant is an idea venue for your special occasion celebration or dating, etc. The restaurant will give you a 3-hour validation parking for free under the Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel underground parking lot. Special note: For the entire 2-hour dining, I noticed that no one ordered any cocktails from the Bar area that belongs to the Sheraton hotel. That's common in Asian communities. As a result, the restaurant may consider to offer a 50% discount for a cocktail if a diner will stay at the hotel by working with the hotel for a reimbursement - that is a Win-Win situation. read more

This restaurant was highly recommend recommended by a friend to us. And maybe it's because we just dined at Yakiya few days ago, we can with high expectation as they also market themselves as an high-end restaurant and their course menu price is the same as Yakiya. Our first impression as we walk into the restaurant is great. It's a beautiful restaurant with great ambience. After we are seated, we then realize all of the servicing staff that we have encountered our lack of professional training for supposedly a high-end restaurant. Staff from the bar were walking back-and-forth with buckets & and drop off a bar menu on our table on his way to the kitchen. The first course was presented beautifully because of the dry ice show, but we noticed the waitress seemed rushed when introducing the dish. After we finish one of the dish, a waiter came to clear our table. Before he remove my plate, he lifted my used fork, dropped the tip of the fork to the rim of the plate gently twice making 2 ding ding sounds and then set my used fork on top of my knife with rest of my utensils. I wonder why he would do that? Every dish was introduced hurriedly with cold faces from different servicing staffs. I can feel they really wanted to drop the plate, say what they need to say and rush to go back to where they prefer to be. It just feels really unwelcoming. The food is OK for the price we paid, but I was not impressed by their food. The worst part of the dining experience was you can hear kitchen staff talking loudly to each other even when the music is pretty loud and I was sitting pretty far away closer to the bar. That's the reason why can only give this Restaurant a 1 star rating. I even recorded a video of the kitchen staffs talking loudly in this empty restaurant on a Saturday night & shared it to the friend who recommended this restaurant. For this price and this kind of experience, I will never go back again. read more

My friend took me here for my birthday. The reservation was for lunch around 12pm on a Sunday. There is a good amount of street parking around and it's located inside the Sheraton San Gabriel hotel. There was no wait and maybe one other table when we arrived. The decor and interior are very nice and welcoming. I ordered the seafood tasting course and my bestie ordered the regular tasting course. I really enjoyed the uni crab and Wellington sea bass. I liked the bone marrow rice more from the regular tasting course over the one from the seafood but both menus are very good. Service was overall good and accommodating to my bestie who was pregnant to make sure everything fit the dietary needs. The lemon cheesecake at the end was definitely the most beautiful and shoe shopping. It actually also tasted very nice. Light and lemony so it was more refreshing than decadent. I enjoyed it here and the tasting course is more a special occasion type of thing for me, still reasonably priced for the quality and presentation. read more

This restaurant is inside the Sheraton hotel. Since the hotel is fairly new, the decor of the hotel and the restaurant is beautiful and everything looks new. We got 1 of each set to share. I couldn't say which I liked better because there were dishes in both sets that I liked. There were very few dishes that were the same. If I had to choose only 1, I think I'd go for the seafood, because there were a couple beef dishes that were just ok while the seafood set didn't have a bad dish. The standouts were the uni course, the presentation with the dry ice was a very nice start to the meal, and the a5 wagyu slice. The bone marrow fried rice was way too salty. Service was great. Parking in the hotel garage is validated, but you only have 15min from the time of validation to get out of the garage. So keep that in mind if your group likes to chat before parting ways. read more

It's been awhile since we've been back and this time we got the be beef 11-course meal. We started with Uni over tartare and the presentation was beautiful.

We came during the day this time and had the chance to admire the interior space and decor. This place is perfect for a romantic date. read more

Came here for a joint birthday celebration with my stepmom and what a treat this experience was! I got the Beef and she got the Seafood and we both sat across the table, looking at each other with so much excitement with each plate. The dishes were presented so beautifully and the cuts of meats were truly luxurious delicacies. They even brought our special birthday desserts for us at the end of our meal! *heart* Our waiter and waitress were very attentive and patient with us, as well as, very informative of our dishes. The ambiance was so pleasant, dim-lit, tall curtains, nice cushions, definitely a place you could see yourself easily lounging in. I would definitely recommend this experience and come back again! read more

The ambiance is very suitable for special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays. For an omakase experience, the pricing is quite reasonable and offers good value. For our wedding anniversary, they thoughtfully gave us a complimentary crab chawanmushi. The bone marrow fried rice and the uni in the appetizer were both excellent. The cocktails were just average and not particularly impressive. The service was also very good--they even brought out the beef for us to see before cooking. Overall, it was a great experience read more

Was impressed on the price point for the quality and portions you get. Highly recommend getting both options if you're with a date, so you get the best of both worlds. Cocktail variety was kind of mediocre, but overshadowed by the food and experience. Location is great; you can literally just park on the street for free. read more

Upon entry the ambiance was nice with the high hotel ceiling. But it was mostly all downhill from there. The food was so mid. The presentation was beautiful but that's it. The taste was mediocre. Some dishes were too salty or felt like it was microwaved with how lukewarm it was. For the price it shouldn't be this disappointing. The fish wellington was disappointing. the 2 little steak pieces were tough and basic. They didn't even know the name of the a5 japanese wagyu cow upon presentation. The service was nice. We had 2 different people serve us food, both stuttering with the words. I don't know if I can recommend it to anyone read more

my thoughts on omankinu: * free parking (validates) * service: perfect. very attentive. serves you as if you're royalty. 10/10. * beef menu: 9.5/10. very fresh, lets you see the wagyu slice before they cook it. every slice was very easy to chew. sauces were flavorful. * seafood that came with the beef menu: scallops + uni. the uni could have been more fresher and buttery. the scallops were great, no complaints there. truffle butter sauce topped it off. 8/10. * price was $128 per menu, not bad for 12 courses! if you're celebrating something, they give you a free item. overall: i do recommend this place with special occasions! i didn't taste the seafood menu but my sisters liked it. read more

Omaniku - uni, beef tartar, snow crab egg, beef steak, scallops, wagyu, bone marrow fried rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Gabriel, California

5 - Service was super kind and efficient. Checked in but kept a watchful eye to not disturb. They were clean, organized and worked together seamlessly. 3 - For the price, I expect technique and execution. I have created many tasting menus and there are so many missed opportunities in this menu and it's plating. But I'm not going to pick them apart, however the highlights for me were the Quality and Char they achieved on the short rib, the Fondant Style Flavor on the Yellow squash, and the Textures in their Bone Marrow Bibimbap. Would return if they were to have a completely different menu but tbh, I see the technique here and I'm cool on it. read more

Located inside Sheraton hotel. Walking in, the waiters were welcoming and friendly. Love the high ceilings and ambiance with a bar by the front entrance. I booked a super early ressie for 5:30pm so we were prob the first ones there. Prior to coming they texted me to confirm our reservation and the choice of menu that we wanted since their seafood menu requires a days notice. They said noted on their end but when we arrived, they still asked us which menu we wanted. The presentation and explanation of each dish was on point. Some of the items outshined the others. Some were a bit too salty. The yuzu cleanser was to sip on to clean your palette after each plate and is considered a dish itself. I personally think that shouldn't be. The zucchini, asparagus plate should've just been a side on one of the meat plates and not a dish in itself either. The bone marrow rice is mixed in front of you and nicely presented but underwhelming imo. And my bf had a bone in his seabass. Since I'm allergic uni, they replaced it with foie gras. That's a big no no, prob my least fave. I should've just kept the uni piece and gave it to my bf instead. The A5 wagyu with the egg yolk stood out the most! Absolutely delish!! It was my bf's bday and they had a nicely decorated dessert plate for him which we appreciated. Would like to come try their seafood menu next! read more

Was in the SG area with my wife and came across this restaurant. Saw the Yelp reviews and decided to try it out. Overall, one of those no harm no foul restaurants. Good ambience, good service, food ... you kinda got what you paid for. Nothing too memorable, good or bad. The meal was decently paced, some of the dishes were definitely pre-made and simply reheated. (E.g. some of the beef dishes had a faint refrigerator taste). read more

Don't let the fact that it's inside a hotel fool you--Omaniku is absolutely incredible. Their tasting menus are perfectly executed and thoughtfully designed. We tried one seafood and one beef tasting, and both were outstanding. Every course was balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. It's the kind of place that surprises you in the best way--elegant but unpretentious, with service that makes the whole experience feel effortless. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time; it's worth planning for. Omaniku is a perfect date night spot--intimate, elevated, and consistently impressive. read more

Had a great experience. Restaurant is located in the Sheraton hotel. Parking is validated, located underground. Service was great and fast. The whole meal was complete in about 90 minutes. Went for lunch and everything was quick. Restaurant was beautiful. They knew it was my husbands birthday so they added an extra course to our 11 course meal. Food was plentiful, and we were stuffed. We preferred the beef menu, but seafood was also tasty. All the wagyu dishes were perfectly prepared and the meat was very tender. My personal favorites were the marrow rice, crab cake, chawanmushi, and cheesecake. The cloud (lychee) drink was also very tasty. read more

Located inside the Sheraton hotel with free parking validation at self-parking. The hotel itself is very nice and the restaurant is open and clean. We tried the Omaniku set and we were so full by the end of it! Loved the variety of proteins that came out (along with veggie dishes). Presentation was great and service was quick. I'd recommend it for a Valentine's date or anniversary dinner. You can also buy their dishes a la carte if you don't want a full Omaniku experience. read more

Thoroughly disappointed with the way this fine dining establishment handled their failure to meet reservation times. We had a 9pm reservation for 2 and upon arrival, was told that they had just seated a party at our table because the previous party was taking longer than expected. They said they have no idea how long it would take, but we're welcome to wait. Mind you, there is no seating area in front of the restaurant and they did not have a mechanism to alert patrons that their table is ready (ie. buzzer or SMS alert). We decided promptly after that we would eat elsewhere, but needed our parking validated. The host had disappeared and we waited an additional 15 minutes before walking around the restaurant to find someone to assist. Overall a frustrating situation with the lack of responsibility taken, not offering an ETA, and poor table management. 2 other couples were waiting for the same reservation time after we had left. This was Valentine's Day. read more

I came with my Wife to celebrate lunch. They do have a cheaper lunch set, but we ordered the dinner set since it is difficult to go for an actual dinner (very helpful for parents that cant find a good evening for a fine dining meal). We were the only customers in the restaurant, so it seems this lunch option may be very new. Service was great, Ken was very helpful and eager to answer any questions we had. One minor disappointment was that we had ordered wine and the glasses were dirty, however, the wine is served by the hotel bar (for lunch anyway). Not really the restaurant's fault, but Kem took it back to the bar to request clean glasses. The food was great, all the ingredients had obviously good quality. The uni was delicious, the thin cuts of wagyu were meltingly tender. Scallops in truffle butter were fragrant and delicious. If it is not obvious, I would recommend this restaurant. What additional comment I can make is that the pricing is actually not unreasonably expensive for what you gert. The quality of the food and preparation I might expect to pay more than $128 (dinner price that day) for 10 (xont quote me, I may have miscounted) high quality dishes. By the way, if you make a reservation and make notes, the servers will actually read them. They noticed it was for a birthday and gave us an extra dish off menu) read more

My husband took me to four tasting menu restaurants for my birthday month. Omaniku was one along with Orsa & Winston, Meteora, and Kato. Food: Even though it's not a Michelin star restaurant, I really liked Omaniku's tasting menu. It's not the most creative compared to the others, but it was worth trying for the price because of the quality ingredients and we were both full in the end. We tried both the meat and seafood courses. My favorite courses were the unicrab, complimentary crab chawanmushi, Japanese A5 wagyu, and crab pasta. The artwork for the cheesecake for my birthday was also very detailed and beautifully done. The only course that was bad were the scallops which were overcooked and chewy. Service: The service was not on par with the other restaurants since they didn't change utensils with each course. I also had to ask for more hot water. The servers at the other places were very attentive with making sure water glasses were never empty without asking. However, the leather couch seats were comfortable and servers explained each course clearly. Another positive is parking was validated inside Sheraton's parking garage and this restaurant is close by in SGV. read more
