Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Downtown

It was an interesting experience. When I arrived, they told me the window tables were only for people with reservations, even though the restaurant was completely empty. I booked a reservation on my phone right there, and when I came back, they sarcastically gave me a window table. It was funny in a way, but the front desk staff and the manager definitely need to improve their approach. This was my fifth time dining here, and it reminded me of those Instagram videos where you think, “Why would you lie?” Even when we left, there were still about 9 empty window tables.

We love coming here, food and service is amazing.

Great option downtown for happy hour. Could benefit from more seafood options. Tuna crispy ride is very good.

Food is good, service is not great. Very casual place

I took my mom here for her birthday who is half Japanese and she had a wonderful time! We all really enjoyed experiencing flavors that were unique and fun to share with each other. We all ordered the omakase and ordered the almonds and chinmi separately. Maybe the only ding in the experience was the servers mispronounced omakase, which was weird considering it's a high-end Japanese restaurant. They don't put the emphasis on "ma", rather they make it sound like kamikaze which is off-putting at the ordering stage. I loved the Grilled California Holstein Beef Strip the most. It was so simple to look at, but the flavor of the beef with the salt crystals was divine. Loved the fresh seaweed shot with grapes! This made all of us say Wow! The omakase came with a mackerel sushi roll which wasn't on the menu, but it was a flavor bomb. The steamed rice was beautiful with the pork jowl. I could eat that rice on its own though! The miso soup was super tasty! I would skip the shiitake tempura but it's part of the omakase. Too oily, don't eat the whole thing. The new katsu with wagyu beef is a huge amount of food. My mom ate 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home, but my boyfriend ate the whole thing! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the sake pairings throughout our meal. The bartender was stellar. Loved the Yuzu Reviver (vodka) and the Old Fashioned. We left feeling full and satisfied, but not stuffed. It was all delicious! Expect a 2 1/2 hour delectable experience! Enjoy!
