    A memorable experience at Omai! Enjoyed the preset menu - the uni toast and tataki especially stood out. Overall, each dish on this menu was delicious, presented beautifully, and we enjoyed the variety of flavors and textures. The service was excellent and we look forward to dining again soon!

    This isn’t stated clearly on their website, but if you’re a party of 5+, you have to do the tasting menu. They were willing to accommodate us doing the a la carte option but we ended up going with the tasting menu anyways - all the food was delicious and fresh. We loved everything. Service was great - they were very accommodating and attentive!

    Overall the tasting menu was very good and surprisingly diverse. It featured a nice mix of Japanese sashimi along with some non-traditional plates. The highlights include the Sea Urchin on toast, Seabream sashimi and Scallop risotto. And don't for the get the ice cream dessert, it was really good. Sake paring is a must.

    The worst uni I have ever had!!!!!!! Not worth the money at all! Paying the money for Yuzuk, got something even worse than T&T

    Excellent … so far the Washington Trump Tower Sushi place was the best - Guide Michelin - but this was equally great!

    We went with the tasting menu and a recommended bottle of sake as opposed to the sake pairing. Each course was better than the last, everything was amazing my favourites were the uni toast, flatiron wagyu and tuna and salmon sashimi.
