Elegant sushi eatery offering omakase & modern Japanese dishes
"MF Sushi executes one thing to near perfection: the nightly omakase. While the restaurant accommodates a full menu, the omakase experience is why you go to MF. Even though it’s expensive (roughly $300 per person), lasts most of the night (about three hours), and you will only hear electronic pan flute muzak the entire time, the omakase is totally worth playing endless phone tag with the hosts for a reservation. Most of the 20+ courses feature melt-in-you-mouth nigiri pieces you get to eat seconds after watching the head sushi chef masterfully create them. It’s immediate satisfaction dinner theater featuring some of the best nigiri in town." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, andrew ryce
"MF Sushi's a la carte menu is perfect for a regular ol' Wednesday dinner. However, for momentous occasions (like an anniversary or filing those pending back taxes), reserve a spot for the roughly $300 omakase. While you must physically call the restaurant to book a sushi bar seat (so analog), the relentless courses of beautifully crafted nigiri and resistance to AI taking over the world make it worth it." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"Leave things in chef Chris Kinjo’s hands (literally) at this lavish sushi restaurant that has an ultra-modern aesthetic that is just as Instagram-worthy as the premium cuts of fish. With indulgences like Hokkaido scallops and grilled eel, there is no shortage of melt-in-mouth moments to be had at this Museum District hideaway. Its sleek wood interior and extensive sake list make it a foolproof date-night destination, too." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Any partner would be impressed with the sleek and elegant MF Sushi. The Museum District’s premiere sushi spot serves up consummate fresh fish in the forms of high-quality sushi, nigiri, and sashimi. It now also offers an omakase service. The minimal woodsy decor is the perfect accompaniment to excellent service and an original drink menu. Make reservations because this place fills up fast." - Nadia Gire
"Watching someone meditatively execute a craft, especially when the result is incredible sushi, rarely happens—unless you’re at MF Sushi’s. The chef's tasting in the Museum District starts with a surprising gummy seaweed and quail egg salad. It then continues with a rich bluefin-collar, shima aji with a mint-basil-citrus explosion, and an umami-overload of akamutsu. Throughout the omakase, the chef rocks back and forth, hypnotically trimming long, thin slices of fish and shaping each piece of nigiri with laser technical and artistic proficiency. It’s art, performance, and dinner all wrapped up into 23 to 27 courses." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
