| - I did an omakase at yui for my birthday dinner. Made a reservation a week in advance to make sure we got seatings at the sushi bar. The day I went, there was an event at the biker bar that's in the same strip mall. I had to drive around a couple times to find a spot to park, so location was not the best. I chose to do Gen's selection dinner course. It did have a hefty price of $160, but I figured a birthday only came once a year lol. The course came with an aperitif sake (house made and so good. They need to bottle this and start selling it!), appetizers, a soup, sashimi platter (came with 2 slices of raw A5 wagyu beef), grill platter (with A5 wagyu steak, lobster, black cod), nigiri (8 pieces), a hand roll, and a choice of dessert (I had a strawberry mille crepe cake). I also added a kamashita nigiri and an o toro nigiri, $12 per piece, recommended by the chef. Everything tasted so fresh. The pictures don't do them justice. The fish and wagyu were high quality and melted in your mouth. Rice for the nigiri was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It made for a very balanced nigiri. Sushi is an art here and they do it exceptionally well. Service was on point. Love my entire dining experience here! (And my friends would attest that I'm hard to please lol). If you love sushi, it's a must try. You won't regret your splurge here!
