Sleek sushi restaurant with imported fish & high-end chef's-choice menus
"Edomae sushi is what makes Omakase a destination; reservations are required and punctuality is a must. The menu features hand-picked fish from Tokyo's Toyosu market, cured and aged using traditional techniques. A silky chawanmushi features snow crab, Hokkaido uni and house-brined ikura but the nigiri really shine, possibly showcasing kelp-cured sea bream, wonderfully sweet, buttery braised monkfish liver (which fully merits its moniker of “foie gras of the sea”), and Japanese mackerel balanced with a dot of punchy chive purée. Attention to detail is the hallmark of dining here, with customized portions of rice and wasabi adjustments suited for each guest’s palate." - Michelin Inspector
"Omakase is another of the city’s high-end omakase experiences ($240 for 18 courses)—but this one also happens to feel like the world's most casual fish Happy Hour. The chef will joke and drink sake along with you, and covertly sneak you an extra cut of toro. And throughout the loose night, you’ll make friends with the strangers sitting next you and share crypto tips over custardy lobster tamago, red miso soup with clams, and buttery, gold flake-topped wagyu. From start to finish, dinner at Omakase just feels like a party." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
