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.

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.

This review is way overdue. I celebrated my birthday at Omakase and I'm still floating on a cloud of culinary bliss. The gem in the heart of San Francisco has quickly become my absolute favorite for Omakase, and for good reason - the food, service, and overall experience are nothing short of extraordinary.I like the sleek and minimalistic decor that created an atmosphere of tranquility, and set the stage for an intimate and special celebration. The Omakase journey was a symphony of flavors, each dish was a carefully crafted masterpiece that showcased the chef's expertise and creativity. The pace of the meal was perfect, allowing me to savor each bite and appreciate the nuances of every course.What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff demonstrated a level of attentiveness and professionalism that is rare to find. To my surprise, they went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration extra special. A complimentary glass of champagne arrived the moment I was seated. The chef, a true maestro behind the counter, surprised me with an extra generous piece of Otoro. A hand drew birthday note signed by all the staff was presented at the end of the meal. It's these personal touches that distinguish Omakase from the rest.

Sadly I can't afford their rare Sake, but I'll get over.What an experience, I took more photos, but so will you. You don't need mine.
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.

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.

Definitely a treat worth experiencing. The food was amazing, fresh, and service top notch. You really feel cared for and your best interest in mind.

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!

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.
