| - Since we came here for sushi, and were terribly disappointed, it'll be a one star for now. Let me explain; At a traditional sushi restaurant, eating Omakase means "Chef's choice" which means you let the chef create whatever they desire, in order to give you the best sushi experience. That does not necessarily mean expensive, but you will get to try maybe some new fish that is not currently on the menu or rolls that are unique and custom. It has been at least 10 years or more since I ordered off a sushi menu, and ordering Omakase helps me to appreciate the sushi offered, as well as let the chef know we trust them to give us the best sushi experience. When I sat down at this new sushi restaurant, the waitress which seemed to be an older Japanese lady scoffed when I told her Omakase. She told me flat out that every other sushi restaurant had been lying to me and that Omakase was not real. Then they called over the chef which seemed to be a very young American guy, again not a problem, but he sad that the reason they don't do Omakase is because they don't have expensive enough fish; again obviously in a sushi restaurant this sushi chef does not understand what Omakase is. Finally the other waitress a young Asian girl mention that the reason they don't do Omakase was because if they dialed up a roll for $16 people would freak out. Frankly none of these three people understood what Sushi tradition really is; Sushi is not about just feeding your belly, it's about enjoying the art form of how they put the sushi together. If it's a matter of just feeding my belly, trust me I can go to anywhere else and get that done. It's a shame too, because I really wanted to give this new place an opportunity to maybe be one of my stopping points.
