"This tiny omakase counter has only eight seats, so you have slightly better odds of booking just one instead of two. The 13-course meal is $85 per person (with an optional $55 beverage pairing), which is a pretty decent deal considering the fact that it contains some of our favorite individual pieces of fish at any price point. People tend to strike up a conversation across the counter here, so don’t be surprised if you leave with a new favorite sub-$100 omakase spot and a new friend." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"Tucked inside the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, I experienced a new omakase pop-up from New York–based chef Kei Yoshino in partnership with restaurateur Ryan Chadwick that runs July 15 through November 5; the 16-course meal is priced at a fairly modest $175 per person and can be paired with beverages for an additional $95. Highlights of the lineup include A5 wagyu, zuke toro nigiri, Hokkaido uni, hay-smoked Spanish mackerel, and toro tartare with osetra caviar, with much of the seafood sourced from Japan; seatings are at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and reservations are available on Tock." - Matthew Kang

"Part of a quickie‑omakase trend that makes multi‑course, high‑quality sushi accessible: minimally furnished rooms and tightly timed service let diners enjoy roughly a 12‑course tasting in about an hour for roughly $100 per person, with offerings that can include uni, caviar, and premium Japanese beef — provided you arrive punctually and forgo amenities." - The Editors
