Japanese comfort food, shareable plates, sushi, noodles






















"Can’t afford to indulge in the exquisite sushi at Omakase? Consider heading to its next-door little sib, where the fish is still top-notch (it’s all sourced from Japan) but the atmosphere is more laid-back. Okane draws lots of nearby Adobe and Zynga employees at lunch and big groups at dinner, all sharing bottles of sake and making the most of the small-plates menu.Sushi is, of course, a must: the nigiri is pristine and delicious, as are more Americanized rolls like the Harajuku (filled with shrimp tempura, avocado and salmon and topped with tuna, eel sauce and lotus root chips). But don’t sleep on the non-sushi dishes—cod marinated in sake lees is grilled to perfection, and broiled salmon aburi with avocado and ikura is delicious too." - Michelin Inspector
"Omakase’s more casual spin-off next door offers izakaya fare, noodles, and sushi, with fish flown in from Japan." - Dianne de Guzman, Clair Lorell, Paolo Bicchieri
"A MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, Michelin Guide California 2019 neighbor to the two-MICHELIN-starred Omakase next door, this San Francisco counter run by the same team offers similarly excellent fish in a much more flexible environment. The counter is small, just a handful of seats, but the menu is wide with everything from hot pot nabe to a la carte nigiri." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Behind these spinoffs is the Omakase Restaurant Group, which also operates a Michelin-starred sushi spot called Omakase and the neighboring Okane, a detail that signals the group’s culinary pedigree." - Caleb Pershan
"Mentioned as the restaurant next door to the Michelin-starred flagship, Okane is identified only by its proximity to Omakase." - Caleb Pershan
