   We sat at the tepanaki table, I thought I had booked regular table so that was minor disappointment. However, sushi we ordered was deicious. We would come back. I would just make sure that I had a regular table.

   This was a really good meal, and some of the best sushi I have ever had. I think this restaurant is really close to stepping up to the next level of getting one star, but it’s that last step that I noticed the most as a dinner. 1. Pacing: We were sat and waited for what seemed like a very long time to begin the service. It felt a little like they were surprised to see us even though we had made reservations. 2. Restaurant layout: we did the Omakase experience which is a chef’s table style seating arrangement. The room was beautiful and felt very authentically Japanese. But the problem is that the rest of the restaurant who is ordering off the menu, the server is coming in and out all night running plates. I love the behind the scene feel of a chef’s table but it seems like this layout of the servers interrupting the tasting menu kind of broke the “spell” of what the restaurant was going for. I think just adding a pass window for the servers through the kitchen would help. 3. Pushing Boundaries: The menu felt very safe and created to satisfy the typical American customer ( I am one). If they want to push to the next level and get a star they need to push the diners. Make me try things outside of my comfort level because that is how I learn to love new food. I think there is really a special opportunity to investigate where Sushi meats Mexican Cuisine and create something authentic and delicious. All in all, this is a great sushi restaurant and you will not be disappointed. It feels like given some more time and some tweaks I look forward to returning when they have received their first star!

   From the moment you walk in, you’re in a happy place! Beautiful decor and vibe, absolutely amazing food (we enjoyed the 20 course omakase and had soooo many favorites in it) and truly kind and wonderful staff- every one of them. Really wish this restaurant were in the Bay Area so I could go back more often!!!!

   From the moment we entered Omakai we just knew we were going to have a fabulous evening and dinner. The welcoming we received and the ambience set the mood immediately. And the rest did not disappoint. To begin with the service was spot on and knowledge of menu and libations made our selections for the evening perfection. The menu was interesting which made our selections harder because we wanted everything. The crispy rice cakes with fatty tuna tartare melted in your mouth. It was so good we had a second one for dessert. LOL. All of the fish was as fresh as if it just came off the boat. My husband and I have dined in many sushi restaurants around the world and Omakai ranks among the best.

   The most amazing sushi experience of our life. We went with the omakase and each course was outstanding. Chef Michel is a true artist and the pride he puts into each item truly shows. The restaurant itself is stunning and the service was excellent. Cannot recommend this place enough.

   10 out of 10! The sushi was some of the best we have ever had and the menu offers more than just sushi, with incredible Japanese cuisine. You must try their chef selected nigiri. The pieces melted in your mouth and the flavors were so well balanced. We must give a shout to our server Mauricio for exceptional service and making our experience so wonderful! Timing was perfect, we never felt rushed and he guided through the menu perfectly.

   Hidden in the middle of a dark, narrow street in downtown San Jose, a little gem. Lovely people and very good sushi.
