When a place gets mixed reviews, I believe in giving it a chance. It paid off the last couple times. This time.... I'd join the others. I hate to give it 3 stars, but it's a solid 3.5 -- I'd rate it a 7 of 10 while my cousin gave it a 6 of 10. Ambiance is nice and understated, with lots of lovely wood. It feels authentic. Service is very kind. Great staff all around, and I enjoyed the pacing of the meal. Presentation was lovely. Logistics: There was a $5 parking sign (I didn't use it) Small, unassuming restaurant front tucked next to a California chicken cafe. $125 omakase menu breakdown: 1) chinmi supplement $10 each: 2mo cured uni and 12mo cured shiitake mushroom. Tbh tasted like slightly elevated congee toppings (sorry). 2/5 2) Hassun - firefly squid (my fav!), asparagus, black sesame tofu. This plate had a delightful balance of strong and subtle flavors. Big fan of this plate. 5/5 3) Sashimi - sea bream & katsuo tuna tataki. Nice fish, and I enjoyed the wasabi dipping sauce. 4/5 4) Tempura - the anago eel wasn't that flavorful. I prefer a lighter tempura batter. It was fine. 2.5/5 5) Grilled bamboo shoot - the roe topping didn't save this. As a bamboo and veggie fan... it was bland. 2/5 6) Steamed black cod - delicious, subtle flavors. Simple yet beautiful taste. Not your typical miso black cod. Tied as my fav dish. 5/5 7) Rice - tbh this was high on concept, light on taste. Sorry... The smoked dashi broth was fine. These were served w/ the black cod, so at least there was something to enjoy... 2/5 8) Pomelo and amazake sherbet - now this, I loved. Apparently chef grows his own pomelos in his backyard. And the amazake was made from condensing some element of the above rice, i forgot the details but they came together NICELY. 5/5 9) Rhubarb & strawberry ukishima ("floating island") - enjoyable, and cool that it's gluten free since it's made of white beans. But taste wasn't very special. 2.5/5. Drinks: we didn't order alcohol, but two dishes came with sake, which were absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the almond soda. The yuzu soda was a pass for me. Anyway. Everyone's a critic. Maybe I'm too low brow for chef's vision. I can certainly see the beauty in authentic simplicity and there were some high points. It has 1 Michelin star. But it just didn't do it for me.
