“ What an experience! We met with some friends for the Omakase menu and it was well worth the cost. With this, you get 12 or 15 different sashimi options. Each were so delectable and tasted Ike the best quality. They presented about 3 of the 12 at a time so you were not overloaded with a big platter. Highly recommend if you like the raw type. Our server was fantastic and knew every single item that was placed on the table. Cocktails were so good as well and I recommend their off menu rum drink. Decor inside is cozy and modern but very inviting. Dont sleep on the apps as well and you MUST get the Brussels! We will be back very soon! P.S. catch happy hour for specials on Brussels and you better get the crispy rice trio! ”

“ We found Kenji Omakase by chance on Google Maps. We are extremely glad that we did! Omakase is, essentially, asking the chef to prepare their finest, and to curate the sushi selection. Asking them to show their art and skill, and decide how best to serve the finest of his ingredients selections. I had the 12 piece Omakase, while my partner had the 5 piece. She regrets not having the 12 piece as she should and, considering, the scope of the types of fish and their perfect preparation, the 12 piece is the way to go. The 12 piece is served in traditional Omakase courses, several pieces of prepared nigiri at a time. The 5 piece is served all at once, with a hand roll at the end. Our selections for the meal included one of the house specials of fish which is aged in house. The 15 day aged Chu Toro was incredibly flavorful, with a taste that was clean and lingered as the fat of the fish spread throughout my mouth. Incredibly flavorful. I would love to take a flavor tour through the various aged fish this chef has in his aging fridge! I cant recall all the fish served in the Omakase, although several were new to me big eye tuna from Hawaii, black grouper from South America. Also there was tuna flown in from Japan. The Omakase is served with the chefs choices of toppings including different types of crisped garlic, perfectly balanced and selected soy sauces, or oils. The diner has the option of adding extra toppings beyond the chefs toppings such as caviar, etc. While we had the extras on a couple of our pieces, and while the additions were delicious, I cant say they really elevated the sushi beyond the chefs choices. In retrospect I wouldnt have spent the extra money, and simply allowed the chef and the fish to speak for themselves. We also had wonderful tuna and truffle hand rolls, and the roasted shishito peppers with sesame sauce were great. Dessert was strawberry cream filled beignets for her and a Vietnamese coffee tiramasu which was done in the classic way, but with the thick Vietnamese coffee as the sauce. Incredibly tasty! We both had two cocktails, hers being a house recipe old fashioned with, I believe, sake incorporated. I enjoyed a yuzu mocktail which was tasty. While the prices are well towards the high end, I would say that all the prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients, the preparation, the service which was absolutely perfect, charming, and attentive without being overpresent, and the atmosphere. With all of our overdoingit, our 4 drinks, the final price for the evening put us about 380, plus 13 convenience fee for using a card, and then plus tip. My partner says, and I must agree with her, that this was the best sushi, and best sushi experience, we have had in our travels. Finding this incredible gem, really by accident, was actually one of the highlights of our trip to New Orleans! This will always be a stop for us when we are in town. Reservations will be the first call I make when I find out were headed south! ”

“ This was the most amazing sushi experience Ive ever had. The fried rice was rich and flavorful not heavy at all. The dumplings were a perfect melding of flavors. The omakase experience was out of this world! Amazing flavors, light, and delicious! Not to mention the amazing service, and the inspired drinks! Well worth every penny! ”

“ This was easily one of the best meals Ive had in my life. The journey the chefs brought us on as well as the presentation and energy they had was great. It just kept getting better and better. The cocktails were great and the addons for the dishes were worth it! ”

“ What a gem of a sushi place. I had the crispy rice trio and sashimi. Fish was so fresh and every morsel was delicious. Staff was very knowledgeable on all the things and delivered excellent customer service. ”

“ Kenji Omakase A Culinary Journey That Transcends Sushi An Intimate, Modern Ambiance Stepping into Kenji Omakase, it immediately struck us how the restaurant blended a private atmosphere with a modern aesthetic. The design is refinedeschewing any hint of overdone hipness or tackinessin favor of a space that feels both intimate and sophisticated. With only a select group of diners around 911 people sharing the experience, it was clear that the focus was entirely on delivering personalized service and culinary excellence. A Symphony of Flavors The Omakase Experience The omakase menu was nothing short of a culinary symphony, featuring a range of meticulously prepared dishes Seafood Selections From the delicate Kusshi Oyster and Madai sashimi to the robust flavors of hamachi crudo and ishidai, each dish was a celebration of freshness and quality. Fish Varieties The sequence continued with shima aji, sawara, kanpachi, and kurodai, each prepared to highlight the natural taste of the fish without overwhelming them with heavy sauces or gimmicky dressings. Standout Dishes Particularly impressive were the Ora King salmon and toro, both of which hit all the right notes. Even the hotate scallop, which I usually associate with a more pronounced fishy flavor, was transformed into a sublime, almost unrecognizable treatits preparation so perfect that any hint of the usual brininess was completely absent. The Grand Finale A handroll featuring tuna, toro, and uni rounded off the main course, leaving an indelible mark on our palates. Each plate was artfully dressed with just the right touch of aged soy sauce and freshly grated wasabi. This minimalist yet effective approach allowed the highquality ingredients to truly shine. It was refreshing to experience sushi that wasnt masked by overpowering sauceseach bite was an exploration of flavor and texture that made me appreciate what true culinary craftsmanship looks like. Engaging, Personable Service What set Kenji Omakase apart wasnt just the impeccable food, but the overall experience. Unlike many omakase settings where diners feel like silent observers, here the chefs actively engaged with us. They shared insights about their training, discussed their philosophies on how sushi is evolving, and even took time to explain the rationale behind the precise dressing of each dish. This level of personalization transformed a simple dinner into an interactive culinary journey. It wasnt merely about eating it was about connecting with the craft and the passionate individuals behind it. A Toast to Perfect Pairings and Sweet Surprises Our beverage choices were as thoughtfully curated as the food. I opted for the spiced margaritaa robust, wellbalanced cocktail that played delightfully against the subtle flavors of the sushi. My partners choice, the yuzu 75, offered a zesty, refreshing contrast that perfectly complemented her palate. Although an optional sake pairing was available for 70 per person, which we decided to share, the cocktails proved to be a delightful standalone experience. As if the evening needed any further enhancement, a surprise pistachio creme beignet was presented at the end, accompanied by a warm cup of tea. This unexpected treat was the perfect conclusion to our meala sweet, comforting note that left us both with bright smiles and a sense of fulfillment. A Benchmark for Future Dining Experiences By the end of the night, it was clear that Kenji Omakase had redefined what a 5star dining experience should be. While the exquisite food alone might have earned a solid 4 out of 5, its the extra milethe warm interactions, the perfectly timed surprises, and the overall thoughtful presentationthat elevated our experience to a full 5. For those who believe that dining out is about more than just the food on the plate, Kenji Omakase offers a masterclass in how to captivate and enchant every sense. ”

“ From start to finish, my experience at this omakase was nothing short of exceptional. The chefs skill and passion were evident in every dish as each piece was beautifully balanced. They even gave a complimentary strawberry beignet, which was so delicious. Highly recommend giving this place a try! ”

“ My husband and I had our anniversary dinner date here. We had such a great experience, nice ambiance. Everyone was super friendly, and I mean the sushi were amazing!! Its definitely not something we can splurge all the time, but once in a while for sure! ”
