| - Went here to try out the omakase $49 level with a friend to see how it would compare to others.
The odd thing is the meal was actually listed on menu. This is strange from my previous experiences as I usually do not know what is on the dish. Maybe they got tired of saying what the dish would have (though that sort of ruins the fun for me)
Anyway I remembered to give my criteria. Nothing spicy and no uni.
Our meal started with a lobster salad in a martini glass. very flavourful. The radish gives it a bit of texture without hiding the taste. This is probably the best appetizer I had in any omakase run by far.
The second dish was some sashimi in ponzu sauce with a few edible flowers. The dish was a bit meh for me, the ponzu sauce was just overpowering the taste of the dish. The fish is just standard texture so nothing really special, so this part of the meal for me was a bit of a flop.
The third dish was something like deep fried lobster. Either I haven't had deep fried lobster before or this is the best deep fried lobster I ever had. Actually it's the best deep fried anything I ever had. The lobster taste was just so much enhanced by the deep frying and the best part was there was no need to pick it off.
The fourth, fifth and sixth course came in close succession, but they were served on our table at the same time. Not normally something I like to see on an omakase; at least not in the ones I have experienced as they usually just serve us one entree at a time and not pile on our table.
Anyway we had some tempura, but it is just standard fare tempura and I have had better. It's a cheap and common dish I was surprised it even came into the omakase. In comparison to Jyo-san's, he does not make this into the omakase to my knowledge because it is such a cheap dish.
We then had some nigiri sushi. I have tried to eat it properly with my fingers, but the thing just kept on falling apart when I flipped it upside down so that wasn't really too good. The fishes were also of standard fare so nothing really of note especially for omakase. In comparison to Jyo-san for $55 we got ootoro (tuna belly) which is generally a more expensive fish or uni (though I don't like it).
We also got some seafood soup. However, it is prepared in something like a tea pot with a very small cup to pour it in. However, it was a very good mix of flavour and preparing it that way we got to savour the soup better than normal because if they just served it to us in a normal bowl I think something would've been lost. So this is another bonus point for the omakase there.
Finally we just got some standard fare green tea ice cream for dessert. However, I think mine was old as it had water crystals already in the ice cream. Not something you would expect in an omakase meal.
In the end, I would say that though I may try to eat here again for their normal fare for take out only, I would not do nor recommend their omakase here even if the service quality is still above par. If you want to do Omakase go to Solo Sushi Ya at Newmarket when the chef is around, for $55 it is much better.
