$155 for 14 courses. I love that it's so close by and I don't have to drive into the city. I would describe the restaurant itself as both upscale and casual. Some of the guests were quite loud during dinner and moving around which was a bit distracting. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a romantic intimate dinner experience like many omakase restaurants in sf, but it's nice. The food is good. read more

Sushi Jin - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

The omakase was just okay at Sushi Jin. I was so looking forward to this meal too. The starting dishes were fine. Nothing to write home too. As for the nigiri course, we had yellowtail, Flounder, Mackerel (two types), squid, butterfish, young sea eel, salmon, and Chu toro. The only fish that stood out to me was the saba. It was so delicious and actually one of the better sabas I've had! So tender and not too fishy. The young sea eel was just not my cup of tea and probably one of the very few times I wish I could spit out a nigiri lol. Absolutely turn off of a dish lol but maybe it's an acquired taste The rest of the nigiri was decent quality but nothing stood out. I'd rather just do a la crate if I were to ever come back since most of the fish selections with the omakase were meh. Service was great though. read more

Made a reservation for a friend's birthday on Sunday at 5:30 PM. The restaurant opens right at 5:30 PM. It was incredibly clean with a beautiful Japanese aesthetic. We opted for the omakase, priced at $155. The cost was well worth it for the experience and the exceptional quality of the fish. The fish was flavorful, buttery, and perfectly fatty. They also offer a unique uni tasting, where you can try three different types of uni from various locations. The service was excellent from start to finish. Definitely a great spot for a date night or a special occasion! read more

Sushi Jin on its fourth year consistently excels in its omakase offering. We are always delighted and excited at every opportunity to dine. The fish, as expected, is fresh. But more importantly, the shari is on point. Plus, their sake menu is legit. Think Aramasa, Juyondai, etc. Without doubt, one of our go to places in the Bay Area. Chef Jing and staff have done an amazing job. read more

My partner and I dined here for date night and it did not disappoint. We've tried quite a few omakase spots in the Bay Area and Sushi Jin is one of our new favorites. The restaurant was nice without feeling too stuffy. And the food itself was flavorful and well balanced. My favorites were the chawanmushi and the uni tasting (which we added on post omakase.) 12/10 would recommend & return again. read more

Sushi Jin - Uni tasting (add on) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

My husband took me to Sushi Jin in MV for my birthday last year, and it was one of the most memorable meals I've had- especially as a first timer to omakase. If you're looking for a sushi experience that feels both high-end and welcome, this is place. We went with the 14-course omakase, which was beautifully paced and presented. Each dish had its own character, with a focus on clean flavors, delicate technique and incredible fresh fish. As a fun add- we splurged on the uni flight tasting and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the night. They serve several types of uni sourced from different regions- each one offering a slightly different texture and level of sweetness or brine. An absolute must if you love uni. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The chefs and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. The ambiance is intimate and relaxed. There is bar seating that offers a personalized experience with the chef, as well as a few tables for slightly larger groups. I'd love to return with my dad, who is a big sushi fan. They've curated a space that's perfect for marking special occasions with your loved ones. Pro tip: Reservations are a must. It's a small space the books up quickly. read more

Came here with friends to celebrate my birthday and it was quite the experience! Though the restaurant is very unassuming, once you enter you are teleported into a more elegant setting. The bar seating was enjoyable with the amicable workers who were consistently making sure that our waters and sake glasses were filled. They even had the cutest birthday card with all the chef signatures set on the table. The fishes were so fresh and really shined through the toppings. They use very minimal sauce so you can definitely taste the quality through each bite. My favorites were akumutsu, Kinmedai and fried hotate with uni. If you are looking for an amazing sushi spot, look no further cause this is definitely one of my favorite omakase spots in the bay. read more

WOW came here to celebrate a birthday with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience! The place is a little hard to find because its in a random strip mall in Mountain View, but the ambiance inside is intitmate and fantastic. They serve a very solid 14 course omakase meal with creative appetizers that lead into a series of nigiri + soup + dessert. I don't have that many other omakase experiences to compare this to, but I found each dish to be very fresh and spectacularly good. The service was outstanding: the staff is friendly, attentive, yet also very respectful. Certainly an amazing spot to check out if you're looking for omakase in the area! read more

Oh my-kase, a relatively local omakase that isn't far up the peninsula and is absolutely delicious! I had reservations for counter seating with 4 other party members and it was fun being able to watch the chefs prepare. The pacing between each dish was good for really taking in the flavors before moving on to the next dish. My highlights were the uni tasting and hojicha panna cotta. I'm usually not into uni, but I learned that it was because I haven't had good uni until Sushi Jin. As for the panna cotta, it was a fusion of one of my favorite flavors and dessert which I haven't had before and really enjoyed. The dish that surprised me the most was the suimono! It was just a refreshing and light way to wind down a 14 course meal. This place would be great for special occasions and I'm looking forward to returning here! read more

I've now been here for 6 times over the past two years. Sushi quality has stayed up and service is still pretty good. We did feel a little rushed the last time we went (for a 7:30 pm service). The waitress was reminding us that another customer was waiting for the table, but we had already provided our credit card and was only waiting for the waitress to come back with the bill. So we couldn't move any faster, yet they still rushed us. read more

Sushi Jin was an amazing experience. Omakase menu was beautiful and delicious. Everything was fresh and made with delicacy. Uni sampler was fresh. Recommend also getting the same flight - they've got some fun same selections! Service was great - the staff were very informative. A great place with quiet ambiance to celebrate a special occasion. I thought the price was suitable for the quality of the omakase, with consideration to the Bay Area. read more

I went here to celebrate my birthday, and it was also my first time trying omakase! Came on a Thursday night at 7:30pm. I love how they set up a card to celebrate an occasion, whether that's a birthday, anniversary, etc. The couple next to us had a heart card which was super cute! (celebrating their anniversary) I recommend that you book a reservation if you want to sit at the bar, for that full experience. Omakase took us about almost 2 hours, so make sure you allocate time when you go. When you arrive, there is no store front sign. Inside of the restaurant, it's small and cozy. The hosts provided great service and are knowledgable about the menu. The chefs gave great service and asked how we liked our food throughout the night. Of course everything was delicious and I don't have a favorite, lol! I also learned that the traditiona way of doing omakase is by starting out with lighter flavors to heavier flavors, interesting. Pictured are what we ate, not including all the appetizers. The uni sampler (?) that we got was amazingggg!! Additionally, we got their iced matcha and the cherry blossom tea. Both were great pairings to the omakase, you can't go wrong with ordering either or (though I do prefer hot tea when eating this meal now). Also, since it was my birthday they gave me a strawberry sake which was delicious. Enjoy the pictures and videos I attach! P.S., im in love with omakase now. From the food to the whole experience and vibe. read more

We came to Sushi Jin to celebrate our wedding anniversary last night, and had an amazing dinner! Restaurant was a bit tricky to find. Kinda reminded me of a speak easy from the outside. To make it easier for those reading, it's located on the left side of the nail salon. There's a black looking plaque outside of the door with the restaurant name on it. It'll be easily missed by walking by, but you'll see it. Sushi Jin is definitely one of the better omakase experience that I've had in a while. I've been pretty disappointed in the past with some of the omakases in SF, but the food and execution of each plate here deserves the recognition. Sushi chefs were friendly and worked on our plates swiftly. Everything was executed in a timely manner. There were a lot of fishes served that I've never had from my previous omakase experience. All the fishes are from Japan and maybe like 2 on the menu I saw were from New Zealand. We ended our night with the house made yam ice cream and it was delicious! read more

Omakase restaurant located in a very lowkey plaza in Mountain View with lots of parking. We reserved for our anniversary at 7:30, arrived at 7:25, was told to wait outside and that they will text us since we will get started at 7:30 exactly. For our anniversary, they gave a cute little card and 2 glasses of complementary sparkling wine at the end. We each had the $155 omakase and sat at the bar. The first appetizer left a strong positive impression, it is very creative, and a mix of sweet and savory with the maguro, tomato jelly, some crunchy texture and celery root. Set the tone for a very good rest of the night. Their nigiri were all very well seasoned, to my liking. Rice is also perfect texture, not too soft or too hard. Our sushi chef however, didn't make them too compact so it was falling off slightly when I grabbed it. My favorite fish is the shima aji, tasted very fresh, texture is perfect. The other memorable one was the saba, which I have never had in nigiri form. The skin texture really surprised me. Their chutoro was also very fatty with tons of flavor. The salmon really surprised me. I have not had such tender and soft fish that literally just melted in my mouth. There were a few other ones that might be a little too fishy to my liking, like the sardine and mackerel. All in all a wonderful experience with the fish quality, taste, and service. I ordered two extra pieces of amberjack, but they only had 1 piece left. So they offered us something else called white yellowtail? Apparently not on the menu so that was cool. Sitting at the bar however, some other customers do tend to get pretty loud since it is also a pretty small restaurant. read more

My husband and I made reservations for omakase dinner at 5:30pm on a Saturday. We showed up at the restaurant a couple of minutes before opening, and there were several couples already waiting outside. We noted how punctual the restaurant was as they opened at 5:30 right at the dot. Sushi Jin was beautiful in its own simple way. Our table was tucked in the corner, which was nice because it made for a private and intimate dinner. Wonderful hospitality! I had put in the reservation notes that the reason of our reservation was celebrating our nuptials, and we received a sweet congratulatory table card and complimentary champagne toasts. In general, the wait staff was very friendly and courteous. We got the omakase dinner, an uni tasting, a nigiri a la carte per recommendation of our waitress, and a dessert. Overall food was delicious, but there were certainly some standout dishes. The omakase tasting wasn't the best I've seen in terms of presentation, but the quality of the fish and unique flavors and textures were impressive. We also ordered the nodoguro that isn't part of the omakase menu. The grilled ebodai (butterfish) was my favorite from the sushi course. I also enjoyed the soup course, which had a soft and flaky black cod. The uni tasting was such a treat. When I initially signed up for the tasting, they had 3 types of uni. Sushi Jin had 5 types at the time of our dinner, so we decided to upgrade our tasting to include the other 2. I love uni but admittedly never done a tasting. This was an experience I couldn't miss out on, and what's cool was that I could really taste the differences between each one. Loved the hojicha panna cotta. The panna cotta was smooth and creamy, and the hojicha flavor was very prominent. read more

Had a reservation here on Friday at 5:30 for counter service and we got the corner, which was great since we got to see all of the dishes being brought out to the tables and gave us an idea of what people were eating. We had ordered the omakase ($155 pp) with one order of the uni add-on ($45) to share along with several other additions, which we added throughout our meal up until 30 mins of our seating (2 hour limit). We both ordered tea, which came in different pots and we noticed the variety of tea pots they had that all looked fantastic! The omakase dinner comes with 3 appetizers, 19 piece Nigiri, and a soup to end up. This is a pretty good amount of food but we also added on a Chawanmushi (wife's favorite), 3 additional Nigiri, and the ice cream to finish off and we were beyond stuffed but it was all so worth it! My wife wanted me to add that the first appetizer could have done with some added texture to it, something like jellyfish may have been a good compliment. We really liked the tempura and it really blew us away with the taste and texture. The Kinki was also pretty amazing and had an excellent texture and wasn't oily/buttery as we were fearing and had great balance. . The nigiri came out one at a time with around a 3-5 lag between pieces so nice to be able to enjoy them (recommended with your hands and they give you a nice finger towel as well) and have a bit of conversation with some drinking in between before the next one came. They were all excellent pieces and it wasn't an easy 'better as you go' type of experience, which I love. Each piece was well selected to bring your taste experience through a journey. The chefs were very talkative and interacted with us throughout the meal along with the wait staff. I love uni and was really excited for the uni set that we ordered and they had a few different types/regions with two of them being brined in their own salt water, which gave them an interesting twist that you don't experience much. Overall they were enjoyable but didn't quite hit the quality we were expecting. Our add-on Nigiri were all excellent, with two of them being recommended by the staff, the hairy crab and the steamed prawn. Both were really great but my wife's favorite was the amaebi. She rated that Nigiri as the best out of everything we ate with the chanwanmushi coming in a close second. Overall, one of our best sushi experiences in the states. read more

Everything it is cracked up to be. The food was excellent (we did Omakase and a little extra.). Well worth it. I've been to Morimotos and I truly believe this was better than the service was the best. read more

Second time coming here and it was another great experience. Service from both the chef and the waiter/waitress was amazing and the food was spectacular. The omakase had a great variety of nigiri that were very unique and introduced me to different fish/shellfish I would typically not try otherwise. Some of the nigiri served included mackerel, pen shell clam, medium fatty tuna, salmon, and more. They all tasted very fresh and it was amazing being able to try them and compare them to one another. As an addition, there was the uni tasting platter including 5 different uni ranging from Santa Barbara to different regions in Japan. The. uni were quite distinct from one another and it was a very enjoyable experience. I would recommend coming here if given the opportunity! read more

The South-bay Omekase on the top of my list Love the fusion Omakase that Chef Jin and his team present. The appetizers are full of creativity, and the presentation is undoubtedly next level! The restaurant is low-key in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking spots. This has become our go-to sushi place in South Bay. Make a reservation before you go-- the sushi counter only serves two rounds per night, and each table reservation is at 30-minute intervals. Total capacity is less than 30 people at a time! read more

This was my first omakase experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. My friend was able to get reservations at the bar, which I truly wanted to have that real first hand experience watching the sushi chefs while dining. Seems like there was a lot of birthdays and they had a nice little bday greeting card for each person and a welcome sake drink. 3 appetizers to start with and the black cod was my absolute favorite. Melted in my mouth! My friend also ordered the tempura and chawanamushi. It was the best I've ever had. So silky and creamy, a hug in a bowl. I could eat this everyday. Then we had 10 pieces of nigiri. My favorites were the mackerel hand roll, so much flavor in that little bite. The toro was excellent as well. One more course to end, but we also had their panna cotta which is my favorite dessert. This was also smooth with crunch from the sweet toppings. Service was of course excellent, and the dinner was nearly 2 hours. Highly recommend! read more

I was truly impressed with my experience here. It is a little hidden gem with a sushi bar and just a couple small tables inside. Ideal for date nights or a special occasion with a loved one. My group of 4 sat at the bar and had a fun time chatting about each thing we ate. For the $145 omakase course, it included two appetizers, a mix of nigiri + handrolls, and a soup to finish. My group also added the uni supplement course and dessert. Everything was superb! Very fresh ingredients and thick cuts of fish. Incredible quality and our sushi chef explained each item briefly while serving us. My favorites of the night were the Ebodai (butterfish) nigiri, Hokkaido Uni, Wagyu Appetizer with Nasu + Shishito, Kanpachi Toro, and Iwana Nigiri. read more

This was my 2nd time visiting Jin. Comparing both visits my 1st was now memorable. 2nd visit: The omakase had 3 dishes with different types of mackerel. From my experience that is a bit much for any omakase. I specifically asked for no mackerel and for 1 of the dishes they remembered. They provided a grilled rock cod instead. Moving to the nigiri they forgot, I didn't say anything and just gave it to my wife. Later another nigiri featured another mackerel. I didn't touch it this time and they eventually replaced it. The omakase did not have a chawamushi instead it was a broth with some crab. Thought it was very simple and wasn't flavorful. Majority of the nigiris were under seasoned and the fresh wasabi lacked the flavor it should have had. Overall I felt this visit had no value. First time it was$145 /person and we were served much better sushi. This time around it was $165/person but the quality was lower. There was no tuna cuts or any piece that stood out they did include a A5 waygu nigiri this time. read more

The quality here is amazing and $155 for a 14-course omakase is so worth! I appreciate how attentive the servers are and overall had a great experience. Standouts: -Otoro -Iwana, Artic Char -Sanma -Chawanmushi -Hojicha Panna Cotta read more

Celebrated my partner's birthday here and the experience was amazing! We requested the bar seating so we were able to watch the sushi chefs create each course in front of us. Did the 14 cour omakase menu which was $155. This menu had a variety of unique appetizers, nigiris, handrolls, and a soup at the end. Each course was delicious but my favorites were the fried hotate/uni/shiso and saba handroll! A great omakase experience and a nice treat for my partner. He really enjoyed it! They even had a little birthday sign at our spot and gave him a complimentary sake drink at the end for his birthday. Thank you Sushi Jin! read more

Very disappointing experience at Sushi Jin, and unfortunately this was the second time it happened. We made a reservation for a table at 7:30 PM, but the restaurant called us at 7:15 PM to say they could no longer seat us at that time and asked if we were okay sitting at the bar instead. We specifically reserved a table, so I told them we preferred to keep our original reservation. They then asked us to come at 7:45 PM instead. We were already on the way, especially because the restaurant is extremely strict about late arrivals--they state reservations will be canceled if you are more than 15 minutes late, with an $80 per person charge. We waited in the car until 7:45 PM, then went inside, only to be told the table was still not ready and that we needed to wait outside. It was raining, and we asked if we could at least wait inside, but the whole situation was handled poorly and left a bad impression. What makes this worse is that this was not the first time. On a previous visit, we arrived on time for our reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes before being seated. If a restaurant expects customers to strictly honor reservation times and imposes penalties for lateness, they should hold themselves to the same standard. Respect and punctuality should go both ways. read more

Came to this luxurious omakase restaurant for my birthday. The menu was very limited as they mainly only serve their omakase course, so don't bring people that can't eat sushi. The omakase is a 14 course meal that comes with three appetizers, 10 piece nigiri, and soup. Saizuke (5/5): This was the first appetizer. It comes with celtuce, kani (Japanese crab), and dashi jelly. I thought this dish was very unique and refreshing. The kani was very cool and flavorful. The dashi jelly just exploded with so much umami flavor of jelly. Image a burst of flavor like miso soup. Tempura (5/5): Our second appetizer is a tempura with hotate (scallop), uni (sea urchin), and shiso combined. I really liked how the melted uni drenched the scallop. I definitely recommend the lime over it. Kinki (5/5): The third appetizer featured a thorny head fish dipped marinated with koji butter. The fish was perfectly hard and the butter added some nice flavors on top of the fish. Shima aji (striped horse mackerel) (4/5): Super fresh and solid. Samekawa Karei (shark skin flounder) (5/5): This was my favorite of the night as it was super flavorful.i loved how it just melted in my mouth Aji (horse mackerel) (4/5): very fresh and solid as well. Hotaru Ika (flying squid) 4/5: This gunkan comes with two pieces of squid and sesame paste. This squid was very chunky like it should be, but nothing too special. I thought the sesame paste helped. Saba handroll(5/5): the best saba I've ever had. It was super meaty and did not have that scaley taste. Iwashi (sardine) (5/5): This definitely surprised me as it had the sardine taste, but it was so delicious. Tairagai (pen shell clam) (3/5): My least favorite of the night. It tasted flat. Ora king salmon (5/5): Imagine salmon but 10x the flavor. Otoro (5/5): loved how it melted in my mouth. Negitoro handroll (3.5/5): I did not line the onion over it. I thought the onion ruined it. Suimono (5/5): I really loved this soup as it was the perfect way to end the night. The fish in there was super tender. Hairy Crab (5/5): ordered this on the side. It tasted like lump crab with creamy coconut curry I definitely enjoyed trying the new fish ive never tried here and made my birthday memorable. read more

Wow. I'm not usually one to spend $200 per person on a meal, but when one of my best friend's came into town and requested good sushi, I found this place on Yelp. They offer an Omakase course for $145, and the experience was excellent. You do not have to do the omakase course though, and they do have an extensive a la carte menu. They have two dinner seatings: one at 5:30PM and the other at 7:30. It's a small, simple restaurant, and everyone who dines at 5:30 does have to leave by 7:30. One of the reasons I chose this spot, is I love having wine with my meals, and not that many Japanese spots offer wine! They had white wine, as well as numerous sake options. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and introduced each of the courses to us. I liked that there were warm dishes throughout the course including a deliciously juicy black cod, along with a soup at the end. Usually when we go out for simple nigiri/chirashi, I don't necessarily like every fish, every sushi presented in omakase was just amazing. The fish was so fresh and tender. The chef lightly flavors everything for you, so you're not given any additives to season yourself. Every bite was exquisite. I wanted to get a whole tray of every fish. The only dish I didn't care for was the sea snail appetizer, mainly since it was firm in texture. It's described with fancy words that we had no idea what we were eating, until I asked during the last bite haha We ended the meal with desserts, black sesame ice cream and Hojicha Panna Cotta which were both super creamy. (not included in Omakase). My husband asked if the Omakase was enough food, and I'd say that without the dessert I wouldn't have been full, but satisfied enough from the array of flavors. Overall, great experience. read more

Heard about Sushi Jin a few years ago and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner! The omakase is well priced but most of all, thoughtfully prepared.

Great local omakase option without having to trek to SF! read more

Top notch fresh sushi I moved away and still think about this place lol I'll have to make a trip there soon!

Has the audacity to call me because I "tipped" less than average. This is what is wrong with American tipping culture. The service was bad and slow so I tipped less than 18%. Next time I should tip 0%. You are not owed gratuity. It is earned. read more

This was outstanding. I'm honestly left speechless. We went out for dinner for my husband's birthday and they had a little card that wished him happy birthday at the table. They also offered complimentary effervescent sake (or maybe it was champagne?) We chose items a la carte, but I definitely would be interested in the Omakasa in the future. Pretty much everything stood out. Hon Maguro, hairy crab, nodoguro, tai, shoyu ikura. We did order some fresh wasabi on the side, but I wasn't a fan of it. Same with the ginger. Something tasted off, but fortunately each dish didn't need the wasabi or ginger. We were on the fence about getting dessert, and I'm really glad we did! We actually ended up ordering another dessert because it was so good lol. I am not a huge fan of hojicha usually, but the hojicha panna cotta was unreal. They put a lot of thought into the texture of that dish. This is definitely "treat yoself" dinner, since it's definitely on the pricier side, but it is all worth it. Service is pretty good as well; Eve was our waitress and was friendly and knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations. I ended up getting a cold sake as well, and I'm glad I did. I thought it was a little weird to drink sake out of a wine glass, but it didn't entirely detract from the experience. It's a pretty small restaurant, so it felt very intimate. The restaurant is located in a plaza with Safeway and other unassuming stores. Definitely will be back. No question. read more

Food, service and ambience is always 10/10 here. Very accommodating with allergy, too! Highly recommend!

We have been here twice for the omakase over the last 6 months. Both times were wonderful! The first time my wife & I came for an anniversary dinner and sat at the bar as a couple. Just last week we came back with our adult kids and one's girlfriend. We sat at a table this time. The dishes were really great both times. A nice mix of things that tasted familiar and things that tasted new! Each time one of the dishes was a grilled fish, and some of the dishes were flambéd. Some were small and complex, while others were very simply flavored. Every single course was of course delicious. Hard to have a favorite, but my son loves scallop sushi and one of the courses happened to be this. Ambience: from the moment you are invited in (yes, you all wait outside until the time of your seating, everyone in the seating is invited in at once) everything about the space and service is part of the experience, and very nicely done. Warm lighting, lofi music for the ears, each staff member is professional, courses of course are presented beautifully at a wonderful cadence. The appetizer courses were presented singly, the sushi courses were presented in groups of 1-3, for some interesting combinations. Between the two time we went, I actually preferred being in the larger group. After our server presented each course, there were more of us to talk about what we were tasting! Also last but not least, we had sake :) the first time here, we had two tasting flights, one of the more expensive ones and of the less, so in all we had six sakes to try! This second time, we had a bottle of sparkling sweeter sake to start, then a drier sake. Both yummy, I know nothing about sake but I do trust these meet the high bar of the restaurant. read more

One of the most enjoyable omakase experiences I've had. The ingredients were extremely fresh and high quality, and each course felt thoughtful and well balanced. The chef's attention to detail really showed in both flavor and presentation. Service was warm, attentive, and very professional, and the pacing of the meal was just right. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sushi omakase experience. read more

We've been coming to Sushi Jin since they first opened, but unfortunately, the quality has declined noticeably over time. The level of customer service has also slipped, servers are not knowledgeable of the dishes at all. We hope to see improvements in both the food quality and overall service. We do appreciate the option to order à la carte, though it would be nice to see the menu updated periodically for more variety. We don't mind reasonable price increases if they help maintain high-quality dishes and a more diverse selection of entrées. read more

Service, food, ambiance were all excellent. It was not loud or overwhelming. All the servers were quite hands on and catered to all customers by clearing dishes right away and pouring tea/drinks when needed. The sushi chefs were friendly and always made sure to introduce each of the nigiri and fish. They also asked often if the food was to our liking. I very much enjoyed this omakase restaurant and would return for other occasions. Oh, they also had a fresh shipment of Hoikkado uni and offered it for our uni flight. It was incredibly sweet and buttery tasting! Loved it! read more

We came for to celebrate a birthday dinner and made reservations for the sushi bar on a Saturday night. We were excited to try this spot as we love omakase experiences and saw that this restaurant is relatively new. We started with hot sake which was great on a cold evening. Then the courses came, starting with appetizers, then 10 pieces of sushi and ending with soup. There's also an a la carte menu for you to add on cold and hot appetizers. We ended up getting the miso black cod as an add-on. The appetizers were pretty good but I didn't really like the persimmon salad to start as it was nice but the persimmons themselves didn't have much flavor and were underripe. The A5 wagyu course wrapped around shishito was an interesting play on bacon wrapped dishes but I thought the wagyu was pretty wasted in this form and my pieces had a large amount of pure fat that ate more like bacon. The sushi was great and very fresh! We liked that the leaner fish was treated well with toppings for touches of sauce to enhance the flavor. Everything was great and I loved the chutoro and mackerel pieces. One critique I have is that the chef didn't communicate the toppings/enhancements well - he mostly just said what the fish was but we had to ask each time what they were topped with. It would have been nice for the chef to check-in on the level of wasabi/sauce applied as well. Since we specifically booked the sushi bar, we expected that communication to come through. I also noticed that people seated at the tables were given a full description of each piece and the waiter did a much job of this than our sushi chef which was disappointing. Finally, the miso black cod we were ordered was good but lacked flavor in the fish as well as the accompaniments (soy milk dashi and snow peas). Overall I would say the apps and warm dishes were pretty lackluster. Finally the service and experience for me was just ok. As I mentioned our sushi chef didn't do a great job communication and the waiter while prompt, told us the wrong numbers of courses left twice. Another point to make is that the sushi bar divider is pretty high so it's difficult to see the chefs work unless you're very tall while seated. It's a small point but the magic of omakase is really interaction with the chef and seeing the preparation unfold. Overall for the price ($145pp) I would expect a better experience but the sushi is solid so overall a pretty nice spot to check out but I wouldn't say it's recommended for special celebrations compared to other omakase spots in the area. read more
