Opinions OMAKASE San Francisco

Highly recommend.

Went there for a birthday, it was one of the worst experiences and the most pretentious and fake food I have ever had in my life. There was a waiter who had an attitude throughout the night which made experience much worse. She even broke the plate in front of customers, where one of the chef responded as again? The chefs cut fish the wrong way and was getting training during the dinner, they touch one fish after another without wiping hands, no explanations on what's being served other than mispronounced fish names. A simple egg omelet was burnt and miso soup inedible. They are charging premium ($700 for 2people) for hypothetical branding not for authentic quality food or experience. For birthday all they did was a candle on an empty plate, it felt embarrassing and sad. I will never be returning and I will do the birthday again just to make up for this horrific even.

MUST visit omakase restaurant in San Francisco!

This is a perfect omakase restaurant that deserves a rating higher than five stars. Our chef is incredibly passionate and friendly, and the service staff are also very accommodating. The overall dining atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing.

Everything was handled perfectly and the seasoning of seafood, allowed us to taste the natural sweetness of the ingredients.

It's a truly amazing dining experience! Would definitely revisit again!

Our first time at Omakase was such a treat! Big shout-out to Chef Jackson for the hospitality. The sake pairing is a must, the rarer sakes pair so well with the Omakase, and enhance the already great experience.

Each individual nigiri was well thought out, the order in which they served the nigiri and brought out the sake allows you to enjoy the unique flavors of each fish.

Having Chef Kaoru elevated our experience to the next level, he was kind, knowledgeable, and very funny! The service was immaculate as the servers did a great job explaining the intricacies of each sake as well as making sure we were comfortable.

If you have the time while visiting SF, Omakase is a must.

Good quality fish and great preparation. Its always a fine meal here. Can get crowded on weekends

Visited on Jan 29. Such a delightful omakase experience. I would travel back to SF just to have this meal again. Sake pairings were exceptional and service left nothing to be desired. Thank you!

I never write negative reviews but this is my exception. Do NOT make a prepaid reservation with these people. They don’t care if you get sick and need to reschedule - they will take your money and ignore you. In my case, they took $990 for my graduation dinner. It is illegal to not provide the goods or services you’ve been paid to provide. I’ve had to file a dispute and reported them to California Department of Consumer Affairs. This could’ve been so simple - just reschedule or credit for a future dinner. It isn’t that hard to be nice to people.

Intimate atmosphere with chefs-counter-only seating. Each course was simple yet inspired, and so fresh. The menu is obviously set (though you were offered the opportunity to order more at the end if you wish.)

We were served several fish I had never before tried along with some favorites-turned-upscale like three courses of tuna nigiri, with increasing fattiness, lightly seared wagyu and the lightest, airiest tamago with a delicate crispy top.

The sake pairing portions were big enough to share, which is very good because otherwise I wouldn’t have been conscious by the third course. But each is paired very well, served and explained by a sake specialist and worth any hangover, should it come to that.

Okmakase is a bit on the spendier side but absolutely worth saving up for. Cannot wait to return. Much thanks to the staff for a lovely night and overall experience.

Upon entering I felt mislead by the servers when it came to requesting water. I was asked if I wanted still or San Francisco’s finest. Not knowing San Francisco’s finest was tap water, I said still and was charged $15. Whatever, just didn’t expect a high-end restaurant with a Michelin star to use deceptive tactics like this to upsell. A little disappointing.

Their Omakase was just okay. Mainly nigiri was served and I felt like the other courses/dishes lacked innovation. Chef Kaoru was super nice and interactive, probably the highlight of our dining experience.

So my cousin and I went here for my birthday dinner. The experience was great. We were wonderfully over dressed so we definitely made a night of it. The sake paring was amazing - over indulgent but amazing. And, the environment was quiet, chill and the service was enjoyable. We didn’t regret spending several hundred dollars at the end of the evening, so I’d say that it’s 5 star!

Overall a disappointing meal. The service provided was erratic at best. The waiter failed to listen to us and spoke over us. The Sushi was ok but not to the standard I would expect. Overall a poor experience and I wouldn’t come back again.

Mid, Basic, and could be waybetter for the price: The server and chef were awesome. Great vibe and comfortable. The music was a nice instrumental of pop, rap and r&b music. There were so many courses, that you should come with an empty stomach. You will not leave hungry. However the dishes were just so so. Nothing to write home about. Nothing instagram worthy. Three of the nigiri tastings were great and the desert was awesome but the lion share of the food was basic. However, to pay 600 plus for two including taxes and no beverages was steep for what I tasted and experienced. It pales in comparison to Nori Fish near to Atlanta. See that review for details.

My dining experience at Omakase in San Francisco was truly unforgettable. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported into a world of culinary excellence. The intimate setting and minimalist decor set the stage for what was to come – a culinary journey that surpassed all expectations.

The omakase menu, a chef's tasting menu where the chef selects each dish, was a symphony of flavors and textures that danced on my palate. Each course was a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. The sushi, in particular, was a revelation. The fish melted in my mouth, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The chef's creativity shone through in every bite, as I savored exotic ingredients and unique combinations that I had never experienced before.

The service at Omakase was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the cuisine they were serving. They took the time to explain each dish, its origins, and the techniques used to prepare it. It was evident that they took great pride in their craft.

What truly set Omakase apart was the chef's personal touch. The chef throughout the meal explained the inspiration behind each course and to ensure that we were enjoying our dining experience. This level of interaction made the meal feel like a genuine connection with the chef and added an extra layer of appreciation to the food.

In the end, dining at Omakase in San Francisco was not just a meal; it was a culinary journey, an artful experience, and a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. If you have the opportunity to dine at Omakase, I highly recommend it. It's not just a restaurant; it's an extraordinary dining adventure that will redefine your expectations of fine cuisine.

This restaurant was recommended to me by a local friend. My coworkers and I were in town for a conference and were looking for a place to have a team dinner. The food, service, and staff at Omakase were phenomenal and I would definitely go back. They have a great selection of sake as well. Our Uber driver even raved about them during our ride back from the restaurant to our hotel.

ปลาสดอร่อยค่ะ วัตถุดิบดีเลย ร้านบรรยากาศดี สบายๆไม่เกร็ง พนักงานคอยเซอวิสดีมาก อีกอย่างคือเชฟตลกมากกก???? ร้านอยู่ในตึก marche ทองหล่อ หาที่จอดรถง่ายดีค่ะ

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant, primarily due to the unprofessional behavior of Chef Jackson Yu. He spoke out with CRUDE and INAPPROPRIATE "jokes" in Chinese, which were offensive humor, without any regard for our discomfort！Additionally, he repeatedly made mistakes with our orders, mistakenly giving us their O-Toro meant for other guests while they were using the restroom, and playing tricks on them who were not paying attention by switching their food. Moreover, Jackson transferred my Masaba to them without asking. Despite our clear indications that we were full, he continued to push more sushi in front of me, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. To make matters worse, he seemed intoxicated, reeked of alcohol, and invaded our space while bidding us farewell. Chef Jackson's lack of professionalism and disrespectful demeanor made this dining experience one of the worst I've encountered, and I strongly discourage anyone from dining at this restaurant.

Lively chefs!!

Best sushi restaurant in San Francisco.

Fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Don't skip the sake course -- it comes with education on the bottles and is paired with the courses beautifully.

Awesome experience in this multiple-year Michelins awarded omakase restaurants. Special fishes that I rarely had even I have been to so many other sushi omakase readings in SF. Friendly staff and wonderful services that delivered a very warm and welcomed vibe. My daughter and I really enjoyed it and had a great evening there !

Perfect date night spot. Intimate setting with a friendly and welcoming vibe. Chefs so willing to impart their knowledge around where ingredients are from, how best to eat a dish etc. Lots of delicious uni which we appreciated! Most delectable fish was a flames Wagu with uni, 24 carrot gold flakes and truffle.

I would be lying if I said I could recite back all the kinds of fish that were served in our 22-course meal or how they were prepared-that's why I took a picture of the menu (it's posted here in Google Maps) to remind us what we ate (my wife and I went for our wedding anniversary).

We frequently eat "regular" sushi (sashimi, nigiri, rolls), and I can say the fish served are probably nothing like you have eaten. I posted photos of each of the 22 courses.

Despite most seats being at the bar itself where the chefs prepare the food, we chose to make a reservation at one of two tables just off to the side for some privacy. Anyway, you're not at all far from the bar, so you can just as easy observe the chefd preparing your courses.

Recommend!

Really enjoyed the overall experience - food, service and ambience were well worth visiting the restaurant.

A long overdue review.. I had my first Michelin omakase experience at Omakase and I had an amazing experience here. Amazing sushi and service! Highly recommended!!

Totally lackluster experience; arrogant chef. The restaurant delivers an entirely unmemorable meal, with a few modest starters followed by nine courses of nigiri, all of which taste mostly of a soy-sauce infused rice rather than the fish that is meant to be the star. Also, they don't tell you when you book that your already expensive bill comes in addition with a 20 percent mandatory tip and a 5 percent 'city tax', and there is no option to cancel or change after the booking. They even bill your credit card the moment you reserve. The chef talks a lot about himself rather than paying attention to customers. Didn't greet us on the way in or out. $650 dollars for two base price and the worst Omakase experience ever (and we've had them across the USA and throughout Asia). Just go to your favorite local sushi spot and you'll be happier and wealthier. Oh yeah, and they served my wife a dish containing a item that she was allergic to--despite our advanced notification and their confirmation. Guess they don't really care if they send someone to the hospital.

Excellente adresse de sushis à San Francisco. Toujours satisfait à chaque fois que je mange dans ce resto. À recommandé.
