This is an Omikaze which is a boiled dish restaurant. The emphasis is on a light cuisine and sashimi. There is an open kitchen view; you can sit at the counter or at a table. The atmosphere is supposed to have a local and small-community feel. The restaurant gave us a Midnight Diner (on Netflix) aura. You have the option of choosing your own courses or try a Kaiseki which are a set series of dishes that the Chef has chosen to tell a story with particularly paired flavor profiles. We chose our own dishes: Pork Belly with Black Vinegar (highly recommend, so flavorful that I ordered seconds), Box Sushi with Salmon (Chef Suzuki swapped in a fatty salmon because my girlfriend had frequented the restaurant before), Mushroom select soup (very light), Chazuke Rice in Broth with Scorched Rice and Sauteed Konbu Kelp (leathery kelp that has a great consistency and mouth feel) with Spinach. We also tried the Beef Gyoza which was also very flavorful with the right amount of crisp. I also had a nice imported Japanese beer and a lemony dessert sake. Carbs/fried options are recommended to go at the end because they fill you up and take away from the flavor profile of other dishes if you fill yourself up first. It can be a bit pricey, but that is expected with rampant inflation and price gouging across the United States. Also, their choice of ingredients and imported alcohol is not incredibly cheap. Despite some of the overly critical and pretentious reviews that I have seen of this place, I would recommend at least trying it out, being nice and respectful (that goes a long way), and having an open mind about the chef’s approach, history, storytelling, and journey. Chef Suzuki and staff were explicitly kind and accommodating to us even with 3 other tables while we were there. If you come enough times and get to know him, then you will have a chance to write on the wall and have a specially prepared meal in the back room with him. See the attached picture of the art on the wall that Chef Suzuki did himself.

I love great food, and among all food, my favorite food is sushi. I actually admit I can be quite snobby about sushi but I go to any restaurant with expectations adjusted for the type of food and price point. As I strongly prefer traditional type of sushi over fusion, I thought I found a decent restaurant to try with realistic expectations. This is THE WORST restaurant I ever dined at including any type of food (fast food, really bad bbq place with dry briskets, tourist trap, food trucks). No self respecting sushi chef will serve sushi like they did. We were there for early dinner and there was no customer at that hour. Table was sticky and there were flies. No transparency on price - price itself wasn’t shocking but food was just absolutely terrible and I asked if there was sushi chef working tonight when I saw grayish fish and toro with gristle served. This was the first kind of BAD in terms of bad restaurant experience. We moved onto a couple of spicy tuna rolls after and tried saba box sushi which was sooooo bad….🤮 Watery ginger and undercooked Hard rice. We told sushi chef (he was a senior Japanese man) how bad it was and why and he stood there nodding and saying “thank you” to several points I made (this type of interaction almost NEVER happen, especially for so many misses on BASIC food quality doesn’t happen!). When we left around 7pm, I saw the waitress coming out and putting “closed” sign as we drove off. Maybe there were glory days I didn’t know a long time ago. But this wasn’t some “off” day experience. Try it if you must, but keep driving if you see the place empty as it seems to be most of these days. Dined here in 9/27/2023. Paid $395 before tip ($165 for nigiri shown in the photo) for absolutely horrible meal. This is a fraud, not just a bad experience.

Came here because of the good reviews but was disappointed with the quality of food. The atmosphere was not very inviting. We ordered Set B so we can taste 9 different dishes. The food arrived fairly soon but only 2 dishes stand out and the rest was ok. We added teriyaki chicken and grilled pork belly, they were nothing special as well. So overall the food is totally not worth the price.
