Sushi by Hidden

"Concealed behind a mock art gallery in the bustling Rice Village shopping district, this 10-seat omakase counter is for diners looking for a fast lunch with a lasting impression. From the same owners of Hidden Omakase, Sushi by Hidden offers 40-minute omakase meals, showcasing 12 courses of nigiri, hand rolls, and more, for $60. Looking for something to sip on? The restaurant, once BYOB, now also offers its own sake-based cocktails, including a spicy sake margarita." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Sushi By Hidden, from the team behind Hidden Omakase, is a 30-minute omakase in Rice Village. The tiny, hidden sushi bar only fits 10 people, which means you’ll be elbow-to-elbow with some strangers. But small talk isn’t really the point here—you’ll need every second of the half-hour experience to focus on throwing back pieces of madai snapper and kanpachi. Since it takes longer to get an oil change than to dine at Sushi By Hidden, there’s plenty of time afterward to take a leisurely stroll through the NFT gallery that this place is hidden behind.

"The 30 minute experience at Sushi By Hidden bravely answers the question, “What would it be like to have an omakase that’s about the length of an Abbott Elementary episode?” Created by the folks behind Hidden Omakase, the compact sushi bar is made up of a gray counter and enough seats for 10 people. So plan on spending your time either fiercely minding your business or slyly eavesdropping as you throw back pieces of madai snapper and kanpachi. And with all the time saved from the omakase, you can take a stroll through the NFT art gallery that this place is hidden behind." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"From the team behind Hidden Omakase, Sushi by Hidden offers 12-piece, 30-minute sushi tastings for 10 guests at a time in an intimate space. Like its sister restaurant, it has a speakeasy-style entrance, where guests pass through a mock art gallery before entering the small dining area. The speedy experience is a budget-friendly alternative to some of the other omakase experiences in town." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley

"From the team behind Hidden Omakase, Sushi By Hidden is an intimate sushi counter that fits 10 people serving a 30 minute omakase. Which means you’ll be elbow-to-elbow with some strangers. But small talk isn’t really the name of the game here—you’ll need every second of the half-hour experience to focus on throwing back pieces of madai snapper and kanpachi doled out by the chefs who are like cool, sushi blackjack dealers." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas
