In Texas, Omakase Is Performance Art | Eater Austin

"A six-seat omakase led by chef Saine Wong that prioritizes adaptability and personal connection, molding the meal to diners who want to learn, chat, or simply have fun. The chef blends storytelling into the service—keeping a map of travel pins and describing influences such as scallops served with a salsa verde learned from a Machu Picchu guide—while also catering to conversational guests by staying current on pop culture. The experience is intimate and performative without feeling like a show: Wong juggles conversation, eye contact, and precise sushi-making (even using a guitar on the wall to turn a dinner into a jam session)." - Erin Russell
