Omakase - San Andreas

The restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere with seating only at the chef's counter. Each course was simple yet creative and incredibly fresh. The menu is set, but you have the option to order extra dishes at the end if desired. We were served a variety of fish dishes, including some I had never tried before, as well as upscale versions of favorites such as three courses of tuna nigiri, progressively fattier, lightly seared wagyu, and a delicate, crispy tamago. The sake pairings were generous and excellently matched, with a sake expert on hand to explain each offering. While on the pricier side, the omakase experience is definitely worth saving up for. I look forward to returning and thank the staff for an unforgettable evening.

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!

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.
