  • Lee-makase: Omakase-Style Dinner

    Jun 22, 2025 only
    Multiple times
    Lee-makase is a one-of-a-kind omakase-style dinner, offering guests an intimate look into the craft of sushi through the lens of Chef Lee. This eight-course tasting is served directly at the sushi bar, where guests can engage with the chef, ask questions, and observe each course as it is freshly prepared and explained. Rooted in the spirit of Japanese omakase but shaped by Chef Lee's personal style and expertise, this experience is both refined and welcoming—perfect for those seeking a deeper connection to their food and the hands that create it. Experiences are hosted bi-monthly and can be reserved via OpenTable under the "Experiences" section. Private tastings are available upon request. For more information, please email dine@gomarestaurant.com. Menu: 1. Yuzu Seafood Sunomono Jelly: A vibrant and refreshing starter designed to awaken the palate. The king octopus and sweetness of Hokkaido scallop and king crab are balanced by the crisp texture of seaweed and cucumber, brought together in a delicate yuzu jelly made from pure yuzu extract. 2. Goma-dofu: Silken sesame "tofu" made from white sesame paste and kudzu starch, served chilled with a hint of wasabi and house-blended soy sauce. A delicate yet intensely flavorful start to your meal. 3. Kani Miso (Crab "Miso" ): This dish features a rich and savory sauce made from the innards of premium king crab, gently cooked with mirin, sake, and a touch of soy sauce. The sauce is then combined with sweet king crab meat for a deeply flavorful delicacy, topped with caviar for an elegant finish. 4. Gindara (Black Cod): Black Cod fillet marinated in white Japanese miso, grilled on toast for a crisp finish, served with dengaku miso—an aromatic, traditional sweet miso glaze—alongside asparagus and truffle. A refined balance of umami and texture. 5. Wagyu Steak: A premium Japanese Wagyu steak, seared to perfection and infused with the aroma of butter, garlic, and herbs, served with asparagus, crispy garlic chips, and freshly grated wasabi for a balanced and elegant finish. 6. Awabi Katsu Sando (Abalone Sandwich): Succulent abalone, breaded in fine panko and fried until golden, layered between fluffy Japanese milk bread. Finished with a touch of house-made abalone liver sauce, this sando offers a refined balance of crisp texture and umami depth. 7. Sashimi and Nigiri: Three pieces of each, thoughtfully chosen by the chef to highlight fresh flavor and texture. 8. Natsu Matcha (Burned Eggplant Cake with Matcha Cream): A delicate dessert featuring roasted eggplant cake layered with velvety matcha cream.

    Would not recommend or come again for this experience. Service was great but when the sushi chef was talking either music was loud or we could not understand him and no accommodation was extended to convey his comments. Didn't really know what we were having beyond menu description without asking. For this kind of experience it was lacking. Really was mundane and subverted the food. Wanted something more out of the experience for the price and didn't get it. Needed more than just dinner in a vacant restaurant at the sushi bar. This was nothing special but we were charged a special price. I will say Saki pairing was great.

    Truly inventive, unique, dishes which skillfully blend traditional Japanese with more modern Asian fusion. Top-notch quality and delicious. Attentive wait staff.

    Wine list is non-existent. Couldn’t find any wine glasses. Took 25 minutes for a bottle of wine. Ended up canceling the order. Wouldn’t let us sit at a table when I made a mistake of reserving the sushi bar. Sushi was really good.

    My wife and I had dinner between NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament sessions at Rocket Arena. It was very busy, and service was slow. However, the food and drinks were great, and our waiter, Carl, did a good job of communicating the delays from the kitchen to us. If you like oysters, don't hesitate to order them if you dine here. They are phenomenal.
