Fillet Sushi is a highly recommended restaurant known for its surprisingly authentic and good quality nigiri. The fish is fresh, and the chef's skill is significantly above average, making it a great spot for those seeking real nigiri sushi. Despite its location, it offers an experience worth visiting, especially for sushi lovers. The restaurant provides a wonderful signature omakase experience, with beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious dishes, including standout items like monkfish liver, scallop and toro sashimi, uni and otoro nigiri, and the croissant pudding. The ambiance is stylish, welcoming, and energetic, creating a perfect setting for an enjoyable meal.
Service at Fillet Sushi is attentive and warm, with staff members, including waiters and chefs, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and care. One server in particular was praised for being outstanding and polite, enhancing the overall experience. The restaurant tends to be busy, especially on weekends, but the staff manages to keep service seamless and personal, even during fully booked nights. Sitting at the bar is popular for those who want a more personalized, one-on-one experience with the chef, who is known for making great recommendations and ensuring dishes come out perfectly timed.
The menu features a variety of impressive dishes, from the spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice to the Wagyu Tobanyaki Japanese A5 Wagyu, which is described as melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The rolls, including the yellowtail jalapeño and crunchy lobster, are flavorful and indulgent. Desserts like croissant pudding with soy ice cream and Thai tea shaved ice add a sweet finish to the meal. Beverages, such as sake and Sapporo, complement the dishes well.
While the prices are somewhat high, reflecting the quality and presentation, many find the experience worth the cost. Reservations are recommended to secure a table and enjoy the full range of offerings, as the restaurant tends to save the best for reserved guests. Overall, Fillet Sushi delivers on freshness, flavor, service, and atmosphere, making it a standout choice for sushi enthusiasts.
