The service is on a different level. The waiters we're extremely friendly and even noticed my friend was left handed and rotated each of their plates. The sushi was delicious as well.
I am disconcerted that I haven't been here sooner. It is an improved take on Omekase. No red miso soup, no shiso leaf, and even better, fish I haven't had before. Congratulations to an innovative Chef Shimizu and the Mins Group for innovation that sets it apart. The best aspect is the different fish and an innovative presentation of the sushi, all at a reasonable price point for omekase in the City, and the best version of tamagotchi ever! Also of import is his Hokkaido uni, the best and untreated with baking soda as so many fishmongers do. Chef also refuses to use Santa Barbara uni. As he says, to get a flavorful uni, it must come from very cold oceans, and that's Hokkaido to a "t." Also noteworthy were the tataki suzuki, akami, and mukihotate, also from Hokkaido. I like the three sets of four nigiri separated with cooked or other dishes manner of presentation. I also enjoyed the move away red or white miso soups and its substitution with a French style creamy soup, in this case a miso potato bisque with oven roasted seafood. This is so much superior to the standard miso soups. Fantastic! The only misses was rather strange request that guest wear a mask when out of their seats. The mask mandate is long over and there was no such requirement at another Mins Group restaurant, Izakaya Hon, where I dined a few nights ago. Why annoy the customer with it? The other miss was the counter at the omekase bar, it's too short, it extends less than half way up my thighs and I was leaning over to eat. Otherwise a fantastic omekase experience.
Came here a number of items and in each and every one of visits, nigiri and sashimi selections were amazing - very tasty and fresh. I also love their beef gyoza as well as an appetizer.I can’t say the same for the omakase though because although the sushis were still great, we felt the other dishes in the omakese weren’t up to the standard.In short - definitely yes to their sushis but I’m hesitant to give omakese another try.
My husband and I were on holiday. Everything we had was delicious and the sake selection was top shelf… we will definitely return when we are in San Francisco
Best sushi experience i ever had! The omakase sush (15 pcs) was meticulously prepared with many one of a kind ingredients, including caviers, truffles on top of the super soft toros. Every piece was different and beautifully decorated with unique flavors. Every single piece was delicious. The vegetables served between the 3 round (each round comes with 5 pcs) of sushi were fresh although may taste a bit bland but healthy. Other appetizers and dessert was also very nice. Although the Omakase may look a bit pricey at $125 per person, i would definitely recommend experiences here over other places including Nobu.
I would come back for the sushi alone. Fresh, tasty, and presented well.
Amazing tasting menu!!!!! First time doing a tasting menu and the chef was such a pleasure to watch and chat with.
Fantastic experience. Came for my birthday and did not disappoint. Fish was very fresh, all tasted very clean. Loved the mix of Korean inspired flavors and different textures of fish. Thank you!
I'm not a big sushi eater, but my daughter wanted to come here for her birthday.We did the omakase meal, where the chef picks what you eat and serves you piece by piece. The fish was so fresh, it had to have been pulled from the ocean hours before we ate it, that's how fresh it tasted.It was fun to watch him slice the fish and put it all together with so much care and precision. Perfect amount of wasabi (real wasabi too, not horseradish).Just an all around excellent meal. I left really full. If you can afford a $350 dinner I'd suggest you try it at least once for a special occasion.
We loved everything we tried for dinner. The food and the service was exceptional. We will definitely come back!
