Omakase Obscura is a unique dining experience located on the Downtown Mall, known for its intimate atmosphere and exceptional sushi. The restaurant offers a changing menu that keeps guests excited with every visit. The omakase options include a lighter menu at $70 per person and a full-course experience at $125, both highlighting the skill of Chef Yoshihiro Tauchi. Guests have praised the quality of the ingredients, many of which are imported directly from Japan. Diners can enjoy a range of dishes, from sashimi to various nigiri courses, and have the option to add specialties like wagyu. The final hand roll, topped with caviar and gold, is often noted as a standout.
While many reviews commend the restaurant's ambiance and the friendly staff, there are mixed opinions regarding recent changes in the menu and pricing. Some customers noted a decline in freshness and variety, with sushi being pre-made and served on paper plates. Despite these concerns, many still recommend experiencing Omakase Obscura for the dedication and care put into each dish, as well as the chance to meet Chef Yoshihiro and his wife, Yukiko. Reservations are encouraged, as the restaurant is often busy and provides a memorable experience that many hope to revisit.
