Sushi Oku is up in my favorite omakases ever.
The egg sundae is probably one of the best bites I’ve ever had. I almost ordered a second one at the end but was too full.
The fish was classic, no frills, omakase except for a few fun dishes here and there. If you’re a sushi purist you will like it here. The ice cream sandwich at the end was also one of my favorite desserts I’ve had at omakase.
The staff was attentive and friendly, and chef was so funny!
The vibes are vintage sports memorabilia and dark interior, which made for a relaxed environment.
I don’t normally repeat omakase places but I would come back here for sure.

I’m giving a holistic review because I ended up with a slight bit of food poisoning the next evening and the response from the team was very well done, including a refund, but during the dinner itself, I had a great time. The food tasted great and the service was top notch. Loved the ambiance in the former Scarr’s and the hip hop music in the background as well. Unique cuts and preparation styles make this a place worth visiting.

Amazing, intimate setting, did I say amazing! Omakase with rap music playing small sake bar in front. Old school Italian pizza shop vibes; because it was one once. They heard it was my birthday and immediately were like omg we need to do something for you. They gave everyone a shot of sake even the chef did one with us! Outstanding night will be back soon.

An incredibly delicious omakase experience. The service was attentive and professional. The vibe is like a blend of 90s New York and Tokyo. The chef was very skilled and could tell he loves doing this. He really made the experience!

The harmony of every element creates something truly special. Their service team operates seamlessly. High quality food at seasonable prices best describes this restaurant. The food meets expectations and so does the bill. This restaurant gets my full praise.

Have been following Chef Kei for 6+ years, so happy for him to have his new location opened. Fish is always outstanding and I can tell chef Kei puts a lot of effort into his creations. His seasoning makes the fish stands out and his sushi rice is very well balanced. The homemade pickled ginger is amazing as well. Can’t wait to go back!

$165 for 17 courses. This place is a step above your usual edomae omakase. I’ve been to a lot of omakase but today was the first time I had shirako, as well as another dish incorporating mochi with uni, caviar, and wasabi. They also offer ginger made in a different method than your usual ginger. I was surprised that the Spanish mackerel did not have the usual fishy flavor it normally has at other omakase. If you’re looking to experience less commonly offered courses while sticking to traditional omakase, this is a place you’ll want to visit.

TLDR: The old Scarr’s is now Sushi Oku. Think laidback, retro hip-hop vibes and a proper sushi omakase. Think of it as the less showy more toned down Shuko, in a good way.
Since relocating across the street, the original Scarr’s location has split between Clubhouse Sandos in the front and Sushi Oku as a speakeasy sushi-ya in the back.
Seeing as both lunch/dinner service are offered, figured let’s try the lunch first. For $100 it was a 12-piece omakase with a temaki. Not super budget but premium pieces.
The toppings are minimal, some yuzu kosho here, some charcoal salt there. I personally prefer this style where the fish topping itself and the rice can stand on their own. Tons of truffle, etc. gets a bit boring after awhile and seems lazy as far as what I expect from a tasting menu.
The fish was diverse, I especially enjoyed the sea bream, horse mackerel and the striped jack. The tuna pieces were from Spain and were both tasty, one lean cut and one seared fatty cut with a bit more wasabi to help balance it out.
Chef Yoshino was not in but our chef was wonderful and a pleasure to chat with during lunch. Bottom-line, we liked the food enough and the vibe that we’ll definitely be back.
