Hidden Fish

"You’ll be on the clock at this tiny sushi spot, where the omakase is priced at a straightforward dollar per minute—50 for 12 nigiri, or 90 for 18. But despite such punctuality, you will savor every bite here. In fact, you’ll find yourself slowing down to savor each and every creation from the talented chefs. However, seats here are hard to come by so be sure to reserve ahead of time or risk serious FOMO.Like other top-tier sushiyas, this one sources from across the globe: Peruvian scallops, Santa Barbara uni, and of course, plenty of Japanese species. A chalkboard menu keeps diners apprised of the current lineup, and for those who are still peckish after their tasting, there’s a bonus menu of handrolls and special seasonal nigiri for further sampling." - Michelin Inspector

"At Japanese restaurant Hidden Fish, chef John Hong serves up an intimate omakase experience. This restaurant was one of the first omakase-only sushi bars when it first opened on Convoy in 2018. The sushi bar seats 12 guests for a 90-minute tasting experience featuring 18 pieces. Hong’s nigiri-focused menu features fish sourced from Tokyo to New Zealand and California, depending on the season. Afterward, small plates, such as nigiri and hand rolls, can be ordered a la carte. The chef adds modern, experimental touches to his nigiri, such as incorporating tiny garnishes. The dinner-only establishment is sleek, small, and intimate. Book a reservation well in advance, as seats fill up fast." - Helen I. Hwang
