Unique Omakase offers an exceptional omakase experience, with a carefully curated selection of dishes that delight the senses. Guests have the opportunity to try a variety of seafood, including different types of fish and abalone, as well as delectable monk fish liver. The courses are beautifully presented and even more delicious than they appear. Despite occasional distractions, the restaurant provides a decent omakase at a reasonable price, making it a popular choice for those seeking a unique and memorable culinary journey.
The value, service, and experience at Unique Omakase are outstanding. Every course is well-seasoned and truly unique, with highlights including the Shirako stew, monkfish liver, Kanpachi, Otoro, Hotate, and Uni. The dining environment is clean, comfortable, and intimate, with an engaging and conversational chef. Customers are often treated to unlimited sake and additional nigiri courses, making the already fantastic meal even better in terms of value. Recently, some guests have noted that the sushi rice could use more seasoning and that the rice was a bit too much, and some reports suggest the restaurant may now focus more on to-go sushi rather than omakase, though this might not be certain.
Overall, Unique Omakase offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a chef who shares stories and treats guests with care. The food is beautifully balanced and creative, respecting the natural flavors of the fish while offering innovative touches. Guests have enjoyed the good fish, quality miso soup, and friendly service, along with special touches like welcome sake or plum wine. Many visitors leave full, happy, and eager to return, often recommending this spot to friends and family as one of their favorite omakase experiences.
