    It’s really not worth the $. We had sushi experience ($150 -$200 per person). We spent $400+ last night… the sashimi were pre-cut. Chef took out a plate with plastic cover, all sashimi were cutter… he just put it onto everyone’s plate.. really??? Chef has some hiccup of introducing his own meal… not sure if it’s nervous? Or it’s the new dish for him….? The room deco is very mediocre. The bar table is too big that we are away from chef, doesn’t have the ideal initiate experience watching him work (he is not working very much anyways..) the music is louder than it should be.. the light is dim but has no focus.. Very disappointed.

    Greeted warmly by staff, who were highly attentive and very polite and professional. The food came out at a great pace, each dish with a good description. My favorite pieces of fish were the mackerel, tuna belly and uni. The wagyu was also divine with the truffle salt and gold flakes. Each intermittent warm dish that came out gave a sense of warmth and homey cooking, but elevated and beautifully displayed. I am sad this place is closing but happy to hear they are changing locations, and the chef and staff will continue working at another restaurant in the interim. Would highly recommend coming here and experiencing the omakase.

    Absolutely worth the experience. It's dinner and a show. We had a great conversation with the chef. He explained everything served and answered all questions whether they were related to dinner or his personal life. We planned to do the supplement A but we were the perfect level of full by the end of the courses. The fish was amazing. I could on and on. The price could have been $200 per person instead of $145 and I would still think it's worth it

    Did their omakase, which was non-traditional and ok (not too expensive). Service was fairly poor unfortunately -- often had to ask twice or thrice for a request to be fulfilled, and long waiting times.

    This is one of my go to omakase places in San Francisco. And $95. It is one of the better values and the quality of the fish is always terrific. The types of fish they serve are pretty standard so don’t expect anything to out of the ordinary, but rest, assured, the quality is going to be excellent. Although it is not nearly at the level of a place like Kusakabe, it is also about half the price at $95 versus 180.

    Overrated for the Omakasa which was overpriced relative to the freshness of the fish. Went there on a Saturday night this November and both the fish and the rice were pretty stiff and the Omakasa flavors were not particularly umami. The uni which was an extra charge and was not the freshest; borderline having to return to kitchen. Staff was very attentive and nice. I still had a nice dinner but probably wont return.

    I am disconcerted that I haven't been here sooner. It is an improved take on Omekase. No red miso soup, no shiso leaf, and even better, fish I haven't had before. Congratulations to an innovative Chef Shimizu and the Mins Group for innovation that sets it apart. The best aspect is the different fish and an innovative presentation of the sushi, all at a reasonable price point for omekase in the City, and the best version of tamagotchi ever! Also of import is his Hokkaido uni, the best and untreated with baking soda as so many fishmongers do. Chef also refuses to use Santa Barbara uni. As he says, to get a flavorful uni, it must come from very cold oceans, and that's Hokkaido to a "t." Also noteworthy were the tataki suzuki, akami, and mukihotate, also from Hokkaido. I like the three sets of four nigiri separated with cooked or other dishes manner of presentation. I also enjoyed the move away red or white miso soups and its substitution with a French style creamy soup, in this case a miso potato bisque with oven roasted seafood. This is so much superior to the standard miso soups. Fantastic! The only misses was rather strange request that guest wear a mask when out of their seats. The mask mandate is long over and there was no such requirement at another Mins Group restaurant, Izakaya Hon, where I dined a few nights ago. Why annoy the customer with it? The other miss was the counter at the omekase bar, it's too short, it extends less than half way up my thighs and I was leaning over to eat. Otherwise a fantastic omekase experience.

    Best sushi experience i ever had! The omakase sush (15 pcs) was meticulously prepared with many one of a kind ingredients, including caviers, truffles on top of the super soft toros. Every piece was different and beautifully decorated with unique flavors. Every single piece was delicious. The vegetables served between the 3 round (each round comes with 5 pcs) of sushi were fresh although may taste a bit bland but healthy. Other appetizers and dessert was also very nice. Although the Omakase may look a bit pricey at $125 per person, i would definitely recommend experiences here over other places including Nobu.

    We visited Ondo for the first time last night. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the seaweed salad, which was crunchy and flavorful. We ordered a large amount of sushi nigiri, all of which was excellent. In particular, the Japanese red crab, the scallop, the uni, and the Chu-toro were amazing. The dessert, a raspberry panna cotta was fabulous - light, sweet, and refreshing. We also ordered two different types of sake and the yuzu sparkling soda, all of which were delicious. The service was exceptional. From the moment we walked in the door to our departure, the waitstaff anticipated and addressed our every wish. I cannot say enough good things about them. The only small complaint is that we ordered the panko shrimp, which was good but could have benefited from fresher frying oil. I noticed the slight difference in taste but the other two diners did not. I, however, could smell the cooking oil while the shrimp was cooking and could tell the oil was slightly past its freshest. We will definitely return.

    I'm not a sushi eater (I don't really like things they are slimy or taste fishy) but my daughter wanted to come here for her birthday. We did the omakase, where the chef picks what you eat and serves you piece by piece. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The fish was so fresh, there was no fishy taste, and the texture wasn't slimy at all. I had no idea sushi could be so good. The chef did an excellent job, every piece he made was made so expertly. It was fun to watch him slice the fish and put it all together with so much care and precision. Perfect amount of wasabi (real wasabi too, not horseradish). Just an all around excellent meal. I left really full. If you can afford a $350 dinner I'd suggest you try it at least once for a special occasion.
