BEAUTIFUL. THOUGHTFUL.
The experience start to finish was intimate, yet not stuffy. The presentation and crafting of each bite were exquisite and paced so carefully. My husband and I became entranced with watching the preparation while enjoying each and every song bringing back memories…such a fun, playful and unique experience that we will no doubt be talking about and planning our next visit!

Really enjoyed the experience. Inhaler probably 7 of my top 10 pieces of sushi lifetime here. It's worth the reservation wait and the cost.

Chef Ray and Cherry are fantastic people. The food and service are amazing. Great cocktails. Great sake. Great music. Deserves 6 stars for the entire experience! I went solo and met another solo diner who has been to Omakase numerous times and he was great company. Can't wait to bring my personal chopsticks back!

Overall it was a good experience and I think it’s worth trying. It was very wasabi forward which I felt took away from the flavor of the fish or other ingredients on it. Made many bites taste similar. I’ve read that that is a specific style of omakase so it may not be my thing. Happy I went, but for the price, would not go again.

You will not get another experience like this in Milwaukee, nor anywhere else in Wisconsin. Happy to note that they've rotated the menu since I last visited, and it seems many dishes are seasonal (so, come again!). If you've ever wished to try high-quality fish like sea urchin, toro tuna, A5 Wagyu, and many more- look no further. You genuinely won't find it anywhere else. The servers are personable, the service is attentive, and the fish is bangin.

The food was amazing (fresh, imaginative, delicious) and the staff were all so welcoming. Omakase is such an experience and I could tell the chef was proud of his craft. The flavors were amazing and I loved each course. The drinks were also exceptional!

On a scale of 1 to 10, it’s like one million. We loved the experience from the get-go. We were greeted and seated on the outer rim of the countertop service when we first arrived. We were offered initial drinks to start our experience while the chefs were getting everything ready. Once the chefs were set up, the staff moved a dozen of us guests to the countertop and we were introduced to the chefs.
Soooo….the food was amazing, the presentation amazing, the atmosphere and music amazing, and the staff amazing. We of course purchased a t-shirt for our son.
We will be back, that is if we can get a reservation! Highly recommend. Thank you so much

Closest thing I've had to my dining in Japan. The first course really reminded me of the flavors over there, and every course after brought a smile to my face. Very high quality Japanese food. it's a fairly traditional Kaiseki/Omakase, 14 small courses that have been selected by the chef. You don't get to choose, and I kind of like it that way. As long as you enjoy Japanese cuisine and have an open mind, I'd highly recommend it.
Thoughts on where it could improve: Could include a tea course in the middle or at the end; Could increase the length a little, didn't feel rushed, but would have liked a little more time to think about each course; Music could be turned down when the chef is talking, had a hard time hearing some of the specifics of each course.
Update: I've now been back twice since. Whether or not it was from my review, the second time I was there for the Supreme Course a Tea section was added. The tea was near perfect! Not just a bog standard green tea. And, it was nice to see that the menu does change.
The Third time I dined here I did the Classic Course. Well worth it, and not a down grade compared to the supreme course. The ability to order more of the sushi you liked at the end helps bring it up to par (and price) of the Supreme Course. Maybe a down side is that it's only sushi, but they do tell you that up front.

Great fish. Music too loud in my opinion. Left hungry sadly.

Good Hip-hop. Request drinks while dining set up was refreshed, was told I can take your order but they will be mixed later -$200.
None of the chef crew said hello until we sat down 20 minutes later. Lack of etiquette.
Main chef is unclear and short with his announcements of creations served. Lack of experience.
The creations were good. As a full package, I would say $250 per couple, not $421.00 with tip per couple X 3 couples.
Improve the new guest arrival experience, deliver drinks while waiting and watching a bar clean up, improve clarity and add story telling to each piece, than maybe will consider going back. 3 stars for effort.

Fresh fish is flown in from Japan. Need we say more as to quality? It's an experience that one would expect in Manhattan or LA. Easy to see why reservations are impossible to come by!!

Wow Wow Wow! Walkers point has never seen an establishment as classy as this one. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect for a Friday night. I especially will be coming back from their wide selection of cocktails and sake. The service from the server was amazing, the bartender was very helpful and kind with helping me select my order. Will be recommending this place everywhere I go!
