We came here to celebrate a birthday and did not leave disappointed. The food was really good and had some fun spins on Japanese ingredients that were creative compared to other omakase spots in the city.

The whole vibe of the place is modern and polished, yet warm. Before the courses begin they show you the fish that will be used and the supplements you can get, we got the uni supplement which came in a little box for us to enjoy through out the meal. It was of really high quality, sweet and light with no after taste. There were two types of in house made ginger with different textures that pair well with different courses and they brought outa bluefin tuna head to tell us more about the fish and how it’s used in sushi which was fun.

Would highly recommend for an occasion!

What an incredible, unforgettable experience. The food is exquisite: the ingredients are of the highest quality, the preparation is top-notch, and the flavour combinations are stunning. It’s a wonderful combination of dishes, including sushi, though that’s not the star of the show. Instead, the other dishes are the highlight of the evening: from the slow-cooked octopus to the sashimi and, most of all, the gyuoku banana cake. Incredible. The wagyu sushi, an addendum, is also marvellous, perfectly executed.

The service is also lovely. Everyone is incredibly friendly and attentive. A very minor comment is that all explanations about the courses were very standardised, including the speed of delivery (sometimes hard to follow), making it feel a tad less personal. But that’s only for the explanations of the dishes—other than that, it was really personal and intimate.

The ambience is also excellent. I will absolutely come here again.

One of my favorite omakase experiences I have had was at The Shota. Jason was our chef and we talked with him about his experience training in Japan and how he was a San Francisco native. Every course was amazing but I really enjoyed the sashimi course! Aside from the food the place is beautiful and the plating is so well thought out.

One of the most personal and intimate sushi experiences of my life. And I call it an experience (And not a restaurant) for a reason. Also, saying the food was amazing is the understatement of the century.

Came here for a birthday dinner. We walked into a shared lobby and then found their symbol above the door. We were greeted warmly by the staff and seated promptly. They have the same mannerisms as I’ve had from other omakases in the city. I appreciate seeing the fish used for the night. Everything was fresh and beautifully done. I appreciate a carafe option given we came on a work night.
I also appreciated the music playing in the background and the manga check book at the end with the bill.
