FAST, CASUAL OMAKASE. It's genius! Found out about this place after visiting cafe 86 next door.
I made a reservation for 2 to celebrate a friend's birthday. There were plenty of time slots available. When we arrived, 2 tables were occupied with plenty of other seating. Seated settings include booth, bar, or tables. The space is beautiful. Black & gold decor with lots of wood aesthetics.
I've never seen omakase this cheap! I was skeptical to see how the quality was. There are 4 choices: 1) Hanban - 4 course, 2) Nami - 6 course, 3) Oomori - 7 course, & Yasai - 6 course VEGAN. All UNDER $50 (before tax)
Of course we had to go for the 7 course for only $49! Just like an omakase, each dish came out one at a time to your table. The staff was informed us what each dish was & the best order to eat it in. They paid attention to how fast/slow we eat to make sure nothing back up. We took the time to catch up & they slowed down when our food came out. The manager came out to serve us one of the dishes (crab hand roll) & was kind to notify us to eat this dish in a timely manner. If we waited too long, the seaweed would get soggy/tough.
The fish, the rice, & service was amazing! My favorite has to be their chutoro. For a fast & casual omakase, the quality is pretty great for the price!! Now don't try to compare this to Nobu or Kame in Vegas, because they aren't "fast & casual". Kase is & I love the concept!
If you look at the board in their open window to the kitchen, you can see where their fish is sourced. I saw Canada, Japan, etc! You're getting quality fish!
I've gone a few times now & I love the omakase paired with sake. I originally had a Chardonnay, which didn't marry well in my opinion. The Snow sake is amazing & served with the cutest little glass. The sushi rice could be slightly better, but they do a good job for a fast & casual place.
Brought the baby one time! They had a high chair available, which is always greatly appreciated. There are a la carte items, but mostly hand rolls that would be suitable for kiddos. My son enjoyed the crab hand roll!
So happy to find this place so close to home. I'll be frequenting this spot!
