Wow. Just wow. Amazing food, great staff, and experience. The ingredients were fresh, artistically curated, and thoughtfully put together.<br><br>It's a small space so definitely make rsvps in advance especially if you're a party of 6 or more. They have free parking in a small lot in the back as well. Saji and Mikey were our chefs and they were wonderful. Very knowledgeable, funny, and great to talk to. Matty was our server and he fit right in with our group and made the experience and vibe even better. Because we did omakase, they sat us at the chefs table and even printed personalized menus for us! Very welcoming and thoughtful. Made us already feel special. As for the food, I cannot rave how delicious it was. The owner orders ingredients a week in advance so it depends what they get in that week will be what they'll serve you. It wasn't overly dressed up and covered in sauces. You really got to enjoy the taste of the seafood. Will definitely be coming back for more. I can't say what's my favorite because I enjoyed it all.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. Reading this truly means a lot to our whole team. 🧡<br><br>We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience with Saji, Mikey, and Matty — they’ll all be excited to hear this. Creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere while still letting the ingredients speak for themselves is exactly what we hope guests can feel at Ki.<br><br>We also really appreciate you noticing the little details, from the personalized menus to the way we prepare and present each course. We believe great omakase should feel personal, warm, and memorable — not just a meal, but a shared experience.<br><br>Thank you again for spending your evening with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another seasonal menu soon 🍣✨

My husband took me here for my birthday and it was a great dining experience! It started with a personalized setting acknowledging my birthday which I thought made the dining experience more intimate and moee than just a night out. The omakase experience was nothing short of exceptional. Each course showcased incredibly fresh fish, thoughtfully prepared to highlight its natural flavors without overpowering it. From the buttery melt-in-your-mouth cuts to the perfectly balanced rice, every bite felt intentional and refined.<br>The progression of dishes kept things exciting, with a seamless flow from delicate, clean flavors to richer, more indulgent pieces. You could really taste the quality and care in every course—the fish was pristine, and the craftsmanship behind each presentation was evident.<br>Beyond the food, the experience itself felt special. Watching the chefs work added an interactive, almost theatrical element that elevated the meal even further. The energy was upbeat and contagious. Matty and Rocky were attentive and knowledgeable about every dish served. My husband and I were very appreciative of each introduction paired with every dish. Overall, it was a beautifully curated omakase—fresh, delicious, and memorable. Definitely a must for anyone who appreciates high-quality sushi and a thoughtfully crafted dining experience.

Ok, this has to be one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcomed from the minute you walk through the doors. The food is incredibly fresh, exquisite and perfectly timed for a fine experience with your guest. The place is clean and they spray a beautiful gold sparkle to enhance a wonderful time. Not a noisy spot and just worth it. Loved my time there.<br>Matty made us feel so welcomed without being weird. Rocky was also wonderful.

We reserved a table on a Friday evening to celebrate my MIL'S birthday. They were able to accommodate our party of 10. We each had a personalized message and they had cute post cards for the restaurant. The staff were attentive and explained every part of our omakase in detail. All the food was very fresh. I'd recommend Ki to anyone who loves good sushi with good company.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much, Carol! We’re honored you chose to celebrate such a special birthday with us. It means a lot to hear that your party was well accommodated and that the personalized touches helped make the evening memorable.

Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we hope to welcome you and your family back again soon at Ki Omakase!

Made a reservation for Valentine's Day 2/14/26. They have a sushi counter and tables as well for bigger groups. The food was okay. I particularly liked the Oyster, and the yellowtail. The other dishes, were quite lacking that "punch" or umami burst. But still solid. Service was okay as well, staff were friendly and fun! More of a causal vibe than Yasuda or Nakazawa in the city. Don't expect the fine attention to details compared to the 1Star Michelin in the city. This is more of a 1 or 2 tiers above your typical sushi spot, but less than the distinguished ones in the city. Overall, vibes are good, would definitely come back during a special occasion. There is definitely room for improvement in terms of food and attention to detail, but I'm giving them a 5 star as the staff if really friendly and made the experience great. Looking forward to coming back here to an improved selection of omakase pieces!

Response from the owner

Thank you Eljin for your review and thoughtful feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the oysters, yellowtail, and the energy from our team, it means a lot. We also truly appreciate your notes on depth of flavor and attention to detail. It was our pleasure to serve you and we hope to welcome you back soon as we strive to improve everyday.

The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. It was a great experience, and I’m excited to have such a solid sushi spot nearby. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family!

We had an amazing time at Ki Omakase. The staff was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. Each course was well explained and perfectly prepared, with beautifully balanced flavors. Every piece of sushi was incredibly fresh. We came to celebrate our anniversary, and the staff surprised us with a sparkling candle and cheesecake at the end. The entire experience made the night unforgettable and truly special. We definitely recommend Ki Omakase.

Response from the owner

Ki Omakase delivered a standout dining experience from start to finish. The service was attentive and professional, with staff who were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they were serving. Each course was explained thoughtfully, which added to the overall experience without feeling overdone.<br><br>The food itself was exceptional. Every appetizer was well-balanced and carefully prepared, and the progression of fish throughout the omakase felt intentional and refined. Each piece of sushi highlighted the quality and freshness of the ingredients, allowing the flavors to speak for themselves. The pacing of the meal was perfect, making the entire experience feel relaxed and cohesive. The dessert course which was creme brulee was amazing and not too sweet. Overall, Ki Omakase offers a high-level omakase experience that’s both memorable and well executed.

Response from the owner

Hi Jerald thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed our omakase experience. We hope to see you soon!

Came here the other night with friends for a birthday and boy did we leave full, buzzed and happy! The fish was very fresh and I got to enjoy my favorite pieces like wagyu, Hokkaido uni, and hotate (scallops)! The Omakase comes with 4 appetizers that was amazing and we get a dessert at the end of the meal!<br>The restaurant was spacious enough especially at the sushi counter so you’re not hitting elbows with your neighbor. Beautifully decorated inside.<br>Staff was very accommodating and the sushi chef was a delight! Explained each piece and let us take photos of the Wagyu and uni!<br>Definitely come check this spot out for a special occasion, date night, or if you just want to splurge on yourself you won’t regret! Price is also very reasonable for the quality and pieces you get. I left wayyy too full! In a good way of course!!!

Response from the owner

Thank you Marian! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the experience! We can’t wait to have you back soon!
