    True perfection. I don’t know what else there is to say. Every bite was superstar level technique. The servers are very knowledgeable and accommodating without being pretentious. Concise but great sake and wine list with a few NA options.

    I would give them 4.75/5 stars overall!Our favorites are the Madai, Kurodai, Muki Hotate (it is the best scallops we ever had), Bluefin Chu Toro, and Masaba… it was hard to choose one favorite 😅The two items that missed the mark for us are the A5 Wagyu and the crudo. We just had better wagyu before that literally melted in your mouth. As for the crudo, it was a little fishy.I love that everything was included in the price and they didn’t offer extra pieces at the end for extra $$$, it also was very filling at 22 pieces 😋🤤They really nailed it with execution, quality, and service even at 2 weeks old.

    What a pleasant experience. I felt like I was at home.Tim greeted us with a smile and a complimentary welcome cocktail before our dinner, and we talked about life, more specifically his daughter who just turned 16. Tim’s presence will immediately put anyone at ease and welcomed based on his charisma alone.The pieces curated by Chefs Charlie and Nguyen are well thought out, they’ve selected the fish that they love working with, enhanced it with dryaging processes and made it their own.Chef Sam and David’s plated courses look simple, but the shiitake mushroom and the daikon reminded me a lot of popcorn. Such an insane bite.Looking forward to coming back!!

    Amazing omakase dinner experience! Arrive early and be treated with a welcome cocktail from Tim, who will also guide you thru sake or wine pairings if you choose. Charlie, Nguyen, and team take you on a 20+ course tasting where each small dish or piece of nigiri is taken to that next level that you didn't know was possible. The atmosphere is pretty laid back with customers having small conversations amongst themselves and with the culinary team, with pauses for explanation of each course.Congrats to the team and can't wait to go back!

    What an amazing dining experience! Craft Omakase is the epitome of an intimate, authentic and exclusive culinary journey.Let’s start from the space itself. The minimalist, classy front cocktail room sets the stage for what’s to come: a meticulously curated 20-course tasting menu that promises an exceptional experience.The skill, expertise and creativity exhibited by the chefs in preparing and presenting the dishes were nothing short of phenomenal. Beyond the flawless timing and portioning of every serving, the immersive view of the chefs at work create an atmosphere that showcases how much thought, care and dedication is poured into each delectable bite. The precision in slicing the fish for the nigiri and the balance of flavors of the hot and cold dishes absolutely showcased the team’s brilliance, and their passion and creativity absolutely shone through in the unique flavors they were able to create.The quality of the ingredients used here is exquisite. Every bite reflected freshness – each dish felt like a treat for the taste buds and a symphony in your mouth, and you just can’t help but savor every single bite. The flavor profiles made me rethink what I knew about Japanese cuisine and what it means to navigate the delicate balance between honoring tradition and integrating boundary-pushing flavors.The staff, chefs included, were exceptional, too. Oftentimes in high-end restaurants like this, its easy to feel intimidated as a guest, especially if its their first time experiencing something like this, but that was absolutely not the case. Each staff member was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Their welcoming demeanor began the moment you walked in and persisted until the final farewell. They displayed an impressive knack for remembering guests’ names and delving into everyone’ palate preferences, particularly regarding cocktails and drinks. Witnessing the synergy between everyone from the hot side, the sushi bar and the front of the house was great to see too – everyone moved together like a well-oiled machine where everyone was always in sync.All in all, Craft Omakase is the apex of a sophisticated dining experience that’s nothing short of extraordinary. Honestly, I’m already planning my next big celebration there – I can’t imagine a better place to mark life’s special moments than at Craft Omakase.
