It takes up to about 2 hours and the prices for the Omakase are 180 or 120 dollars per person, not including beverages, tax and gratuity.

    By far, this has been one of the best restaurants I have been to globally. The service was impeccable (Tomo is super awesome), the food was completely awesome, and best of all the atmosphere was approachable. If you’re looking for an add-on to your typical omakase experience, visit Yamada Chikara. I shall return for what I expect to be another great dining experience overall!

    Had a great dining experience at this restaurant. Everything was done in perfection and the attention to detail was unsurpassed. The set menu was very well planned out and executed and the fried courses did not feel heavy at all. The chef took care to introduce every dish and was very informative. It was a rainy night so we did not get to go to the backyard to enjoy the dessert courses so hopefully next time as I will definitely go back.
