The tasting menu provided a variable taste experience, but the food was merely ok. The service and atmosphere are certainly fine dinning.

Everything about this place was absolutely wonderful. It was my birthday and they even treated me to an extra wonderful course.

Arrived at 9pm , they had guests seated and dining. I asked for a dine in experience for 2. They said they “closing early”. Website says they close at 10pm . We walked in minutes b4 9pm. Ruined my stay at Sheraton, lazy ass employees .

Located inside Sheraton hotel next to the bar area. We tried seafood tasting menu. Food was good but nothing to rave about. Most of the dishes used crab meat for the main or for garnishment: It was overdone. Service was good, nice ambiance although lights were turned off in some part of the restaurant.

Let’s start by saying that I just had the best bone-marrow rice I have ever had in my life! That being said, just understand that this is essentially an omikase restaurant. The course stack progressively and the tastes and textures gain complexity along the way. This is a must-visit restaurant if you are staying locally in the 626.

I was very disappointed with the management of this restaurant. The kitchen closes at 9:30 PM, yet they still accepted reservations for that exact time. As a result, we had the most rushed tasting menu experience I’ve ever had — all the courses were served at once, which completely defeated the purpose. The dishes were cold by the time we ate them, and unfortunately, the flavors were mediocre at best.

On the bright side, the service staff were kind and professional — no complaints there. But overall, poor management and subpar food made this a very underwhelming dining experience. Definitely not worth the price or the hype.

We’ve eating here a few times and have always enjoyed the ambience and the modern but comfortable sitting area. The food here is always fresh and decent, though not great. You can choose between a seafood or a beef omakase meal. This time we both had the beef. Please note that the first two courses of the beef dinner contain raw seafood or beef, but you can ask the kitchen to cook them for you if you don’t eat raw food. Overall the quality was good, but the quantity was on the light side. At the end, there was a bone marrow kimchi fried rice, which was pretty good. This place’s website has a detailed list of the dishes for both the seafood and the beef menu.

One of the best omakase in town, came for a date night and left with a full stomach. The seafood and the beef were delicious and 11 courses is insanely good. Their vibe definitely is great for a first date. Parking is validated for free parking first 3 hours! Highly recommend the beef menu, the a5 Japanese wagyu melts in your mouth!!! The service is amazing too!

Andrew, a close friend of mine who is a huge foodie, recommended this restaurant and honestly I think that he was spot on with this place. The value is insane and easily beats other establishments that cost a few multiples more. Every course is very enjoyable and I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back to try the other menu!

I am a huge foodie and literally travel for food. This place is a hidden gem and it has a very well priced tasting menu. They use the best ingredients (sourced locally and internationally), have amazing service and the food is super tasty. Every dish is paired perfectly and they even have the order of the food down. Unlike many other tasting menus, you will actually feel full after the meal and will want to crave more. I definitely highly recommend this place having been here many many times!! Check this place out for yourself and you won’t regret it. Thank me later by returning!

My husband wanted a date night and I’ve been wanting to check out Omaniku for a long time. He had the meat menu and I had the seafood menu. Everything was delicious. My only disappointment was my lobster tail course. It was extremely sandy, but the flavors were great. I thought I had chipped a tooth or my Invisalign attachment because it was so sandy. I did mention it to the manager when he stopped by at the end of our meal to ask for feedback, but he did not offer anything else. I would still come back because of the excellent service and value for the quality of food we received.

What a wonderful dining experience! The staff were professional and incredibly friendly. The wagyu was tender and juicy, and the seafood was fresh. The chef even made this beautifully plated cake from scratch. Such a great restaurant—I loved the food!

Experience is anything but luxurious...our server finished her shift before our meal and then we were tossed around to a bunch of different people.Drinks are handled and paid separately by the bar and they were very pushy with drinks.Validation is NOT enough for the full the dining experience.The parking slip is printed on a flimsy sheet of paper and our server who validated us said it was only good for 15 minutes!What kind of rule is this? We were rushing to our cars waiting for the elevators and then finding our cars.DO NOT PARK AGAINST THE WALL. YOU WILL SCRATCH YOUR CAR!!! T_TIf I wasn't so panicked to leave, maybe I could have saved my car....
