In Japan, Omakase (お任せ) “entrust the chef” is a popular style of dining, where the guests entrust the chef with the meal selection. As this is a great honor, the chef in turn vows to use the freshest ingredients, masterful techniques and bursts of innovation, to create a truly memorable dining experience. Oma San Francisco Station is proud to present this simple, yet elegant way of dining to all of our guests.

Reviews
Sashimi: I tried the ocean trout and I found it on the thicker style and I’m personally more of a fan thinner sashimi.
Atmosphere: not a surprise but this is a counter in Japantown not inside its own restaurant. The atmosphere doesn’t match the price. I also wish the counter was designed so I could see the chefs prep the food better.
I feel like the cost doesn’t match the experience. I recommend trying for yourself.
The bar is located in the back wall of a mall. There is no wall in front of the bar, so it’s kinda really cold and a lot of people are walking buy or staring at you. I had to take points off for atmosphere here.
The dishes were quite average overall. Many pieces had an overwhelming amount of wasabi that completely masked the natural flavor of the fish. Only the sashimi stood out to me as genuinely good. Portion sizes were small, and considering the total cost—nearly $300 for two sets ($95 and $125) plus tax and tip—I didn’t feel it was worth the price at all.
More concerning was the hygiene and attitude behind the counter. There were two chefs. The chef on the left wore an apron and gloves, looking very professional. In contrast, the chef on the right wore neither an apron nor gloves at any point. In any professional kitchen, wearing an apron is a basic hygiene standard—not just for cleanliness, but also to show respect for the customer and the food.
Even worse, I saw this chef eating his own food from a paper bag while seated below the counter, clearly trying not to be seen. Then he returned to preparing food with bare hands. Even if he rinsed them, this behavior is simply unacceptable during an omakase service, where guests are trusting you with quality and care.
His attitude was also off-putting. He looked at customers with an unfriendly or annoyed expression, making the whole experience feel tense. I don’t know if there were internal issues among the staff, but it clearly showed in both his attitude and food handling.
This was not the omakase experience I hoped for. I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a refined and trustworthy dining experience.
Standouts include the smoked salmon at the end with the shiso flowers, quail egg, and seaweed, the light layered butter cookie with the matcha ice cream, and the slightly charred sushi like the sea bream. The Wasabi that was served with the sashimi was refreshing and pleasantly salty. Loved the condiment.
Left the meal super full.
Slight comments:
The sushi rice was a little too mushy for me.
I’m not a fan of gold leaf on my food. Personally, I’d rather get more fish.
