Best Omakase experience I have ever had. Every single bite was incredible. Aki-San is warm and kind and funny and shares great stories. Cannot wait to go back.

Sushi Sho offers a unique and exceptional dining experience. Chef Aki San, a master with over 40 years of experience, serves top-quality, perfectly balanced nigiri sushi. The omakase dinner is a highlight, with a $150 price tag considered a good value for the expertise and knowledge showcased. The restaurant emphasizes freshness and careful preparation, providing a delicious and educational experience. While the menu is limited, the omakase dinner is the main event, with Aki San’s banter and information adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. Many regular customers have praised the restaurant for its fantastic food, which includes favorites like smoke salmon, wagyu, Uni, and chu toro. Guests often describe the experience as worth every penny, with some spending about four hours enjoying the delicious food and engaging conversation. Aki San’s friendly guidance encourages diners to ask about his life and journey as a sushi chef and to trust his recommendations, making each visit memorable and special.
