What people say, in short
Craft Omakase draws strong support for its sushi tasting experience, with diners praising the fish, rice and sake pairings. Supporters often favor its value relative to other high-end omakase meals. The enthusiasm is not unanimous: dissenters question the cost or hype, and one repeat visitor disliked a scallop course. A diner describes a conversational atmosphere that may appeal less to someone seeking a restrained, quiet meal. Reports about securing a reservation vary rather than supporting a clear booking rule.
