Omakase Por Favor - Midtown

Omakase Por Favor in Midtown absolutely delivered. My wife and I went last night planning to do the full omakase, but since it runs about 90 minutes and we were short on time, we ordered à la carte instead. Zero regrets. We got the classic tostada, atun tostada, unagi oysters, classic oysters on the half shell, and tuna tataki. Every dish was dialed in. The oysters were pristine and briny, presented beautifully on ice with bright accompaniments. The unagi oysters were next-level— smoky, rich, balanced with acidity and fresh greens. Both tostadas were standouts: crisp tortillas loaded with impeccably fresh tuna and shrimp, vibrant cilantro, sliced peppers, and layered sauces that added creaminess and heat without overpowering the fish. The tuna tataki was seared perfectly, still cool and silky in the center. My wife had champagne, I went with a Modelo, and we walked out full and happy at about $150 total including tip. For the quality and creativity here, that's exceptional value. Service deserves mention too. From the maître d' to our server, everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. No pretension, just people who care about hospitality. We'll be back to do the full omakase. But even à la carte, this place is a knockout. If you're in Midtown and love seafood done thoughtfully, you need to try it.

I stopped by for happy hour after seeing great reviews and left feeling let down. The margarita was fine. We ordered the pâté and rillettes, and both were pretty bland, though the crostini itself was good. The tostilocos were small and overpowered by chamoy, and the ceviche lacked the bright, lime-forward flavor you’d expect. The oysters were good, and our server was very friendly. Was planning to try their tostadas too, but after the disappointing apps, we chose to move on. The ambiance had potential, but for a Wed evening the place was completely empty, which felt odd given the hype. Overall, I was let down. I’m sure the omakase menu is a better experience, but this visit didn’t make me want to come back.

Fantastic, personable service along with some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Came here for brunch and got the mimosa bottle service, mushroom couscous soup, and sandwich of the day, which was a sturgeon melt. It all tasted phenomenal. Will definitely be back for their happy hour that has $2 oysters, and dinner for the omakase experience. Highly recommend! Check this place out!

Everything was great. We came in for early lunch on a Saturday. The staff was very attentive, keeping an eye on our table and spacing our courses perfectly. All of the waiters recommendation was amazingly flavorful and delicious. For me the duck tostada and tuna tostada were the best, but not saying everything else wasn't as good either. There was a lot of flavor combinations I wasn't expecting and every dish had me debating if I should order seconds. 10/10

Going in thinking Japanese will work with Mexican. Former emphasis on subtlety and latter is David of bold. I ordered the omakase 6 courses menu. The result blows my mind. I can taste the sweetness of the fresh ingredients including the seafood and the slight spiciness and bold flavor really mixes well. This is definitely one of the best new restaurants in recent years. Will definitely go back.

The omakase experience was DELICIOUS. I still can’t get over two of the courses that were served to me last night. The food was immaculate and the service was amazing. I’m absolutely joining for dinner again

It's impossible to express just how much I enjoyed this great spot in Sacramento! It's super charming, the service is exceptional, and the food is perfect! I dined at the bar for lunch, and Chef/Owner, Jenna, explained each perfectly executed dish and also shared her background. Sake Sommelier, Taylor, made the perfect sake suggestion, that I enjoyed with each delicious bite of food. Easily the best lunch I've ever had in Sacramento, and it is now in my top 5 restaurants in the city. I can't recommend more enthusiasticly, and look forward to my next visit north.

If I had to be concise I’d say it’s a waste of money and a disappointment. We went on Valentine’s Day, which is not ideal but it was our 8 year anniversary that week and we wanted something special. This was not special, their course dinner didn’t hit the mark although I would say the menu was decently thought through. The food itself it’s good but I really can’t justify spending 400+ (our meal was over 500 because we had add ons). Their course dinner was 375 per couple, and I hope you don’t eat a lot because it won’t be enough, for me and my husband it was good enough. You get there and they make you wait in their waiting area which is not ideal and it’s quite awkward, the hostess doesn’t quite make you feel welcomed, she is decently professional and that’s it. Our server or waiter Maverick was probably the highlight of the night. But we waited the longest (I don’t necessarily blame them since we did show up 20 minutes prior to our reservation) and we got serve almost last, they seated us in the middle of a few tables, for an anniversary? Nothing special, romantic or intimate but it thought the experience would be worth it. Yes we had oysters and caviar and a bottle of wine included (retail price at $25 though) but even though the food was good it was not special, and specially not considering how much we spent. I’ve spent half at a nice steakhouse for this price, what a letdown. Also, our favorite course was not even in their valentines menu! The tuna tataki was awesome and if I had a course meal that was at level I would happily pay the price but the assigned menu…. Not great, just good. Parking is an issue as well so be prepared. If you are looking for an omakase experience this is not it, I had two before and this place misses the mark tremendously. For a restaurant? It’s good, I guess if it wasn’t for the valentines menu it can be a decent place but that just ruined it for me. Don’t bother making notes in your reservation, they don’t read them and they don’t make you feel any special either. My recommendation? Save your money and go to SF, they have better quality food, experience and freshness.
