Reviews
At my visit it was yellow tuna belly and black cod. The yellow tail was lightly fatty, tender and had the most subtle and clean taste of the sea, just a hint.
But it was the black cod with a tiny bit of yuzu koshu and flaky salt. Brief flash of flame to add the hint of charred fat and depth. Truly one of the top 5 bites I’ve ever had as a life long sushi eater.
Marinated tuna aguachili was excellent as well.
Very charming intimate atmosphere and helpful staff.
This was different from other omakases I’ve had in the past as those ones were really focused on ingredients and kept flavors simple and minimal to highlight by the quality of those ingredients. Yuzu was a nice surprise as there was a lot of play with different flavor combinations and using non-traditional ingredients. I enjoyed this as it incorporated some local ingredients from AZ and influenced by some of the local cuisines. Every bite was a delight! Still thinking about that hand roll.
Good indicator of ingredient quality was the uni as it was creamy and savory. If you’ve had bad uni you know mean.
Overall for the price of $85 it’s definitely worth it for the number of courses and if you are looking for a more lowkey omakase experience.
*Just please be respectful on arriving on time as it can throw off the timing for chef if some people show up late.
Omasake was not something that I thought should be on a bucket list but I highly recommend everyone who enjoys sushi to experience this at least once in their life.
A couple came in to see if they could sit in for Omasake but they were turned away. So note to everyone, book online beforehand to secure your spot.
I was so excited about this visit that I arrived early and walked around the plaza, eagerly waiting for them to open. Once the restaurant opened, we walked in to find only one waitress and the owner working. The owner insisted on charging the two of us for Omakase. I explained that I had booked a table, not Omakase, and that my wife doesn’t eat sushi. This led to a confrontation that lasted what felt like far too long, completely spoiling what could have been a perfect day.
Despite the rocky start, we still ordered quite a bit, hoping to make the best of the experience. Unfortunately, the sushi was average at best, and the up-charges for searing were absolutely ridiculous. In hindsight, we shouldn’t have bothered—it wasn’t worth it.
Coming from the restaurant world, I can confidently say that being a great chef doesn’t necessarily mean you can also be the face of the restaurant or handle the business side effectively, even if it’s your own establishment.
Total combined for both chefs, they have 24yrs of experience which speaks volumes for the taste, how they used seasonal ingredients and how they were in sink during the prep for each course.
