   The service was pretty inattentive for the price of the omakase - we were allowed in 10mins late with no explanation, not asked for drink orders for another 10mins and not given any finger towels for omakase eating (nigiri was eaten with fingers). One of the dishes they served was a hotpot soup - no spoons given and was taken away before we finished because they wanted to serve dessert and get us out of there. Standout dish was the uni nigiri. Really wished they included chawanmushi in the omakase menu, seemed weird that the cheaper chefs course menu offers it. Wouldn't do the omakase again, I think for $180 it's not worth it especially after seeing the other diners on the chefs course $95 be served pretty much all the same good items (in fact I think they got some dishes that we didn't that I would have happily swapped out for).

   The food quality was not good enough compared to the other omakase places. We arrived on time but the staff was just busy with setting up....

   The overall experience is VERY underwhelming. TLDR: Not recommended. Quality and selection of food are unsatisfactory, time management was very poor, staff were untrained and unprofessional. We were recommended by friends who have big appetites, saying that they left with a very full belly. Made a reservation and we arrived 5 minutes early. Was told to wait outside because the last round hasn’t finished yet. We were told “It won’t be long”. Come back after 5 minutes, all customers have left and the restaurant is empty, but the door is still shut and they were still cleaning up. We stood and waited for 15 more minutes. It was already 20 minutes past our reservation time when we finally get to enter. Japanese restaurant are famous for being on time, especially for Omakase, because this way the team gets to serve all the customers simultaneously, but apparently this is not how they do it here. But the first dish(which is a cold dish) isn’t served after another 15 minutes, which means the first 30 minutes of our reservation basically goes to nowhere. The first dish is “Chawanmushi”, well they said it was. But it was just COLD egg custard with corn on top, which is very different from the traditional ones we had before. The egg was flavourless, and the corn doesn’t go with it at all. The other appetiser “Hassun 4” are so-so. But behild, there’s another “shabu shabu” dish, which is grilled vegetables( pepper and eggplant) paired with fish that were quickly boiled in kombucha broth in front of us. i am sorry but I don’t understand what kind of food pairing is that. The fish was blend and flavourless, as it was unseasoned and only cooked for 10 seconds. The vegetables did not go well with the fish, there’s only a bit of sauce on the side. The only highlight is the “main dish”, which is rice and crab meat stuffed in crab shell. The order of food is also very weird, we had all these dishes before the sushi, even the crab rice, which is definitely different with the other o

   I recently dined at KUON SUSHI SEI and was blown away by the quality+service. Ingredients were incredibly fresh, but the real stars were the sushi rice and soy sauce. The rice, sourced directly from Japan, had a wonderful texture and subtle sweetness that perfectly balanced the fish. Their house-made soy sauce was the perfect umami bomb, enhancing each bite without being too salty. Combined with the impeccable service, KUON SUSHI SEI offers a truly exceptional Japanese dining experience.
