"Oma SF Station is located at the end of a stark hallway inside the Japan Center, and its casual location is part of the appeal. Throughout the night at this omakase spot, you’ll hear ambient mall chatter while making small talk with the chefs across the bar. The approachable energy extends to the food. There are three omakase options ($95, $125, and $165), each with an increasing number of courses—so you can choose how much you want to spend on nigiri and small plates, like miso black cod or unagi with tamago. Whatever route you go, expect the high-quality fish to keep you coming back. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
