My family and I came over this evening after a cruise tour at the pier. First time at this restaurant for us for omakase. The food was amazing, and service is superb. The price is actually quite reasonable for the quality of food. We will definitely come back next time when we visit again.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Hands down the BEST Omakase Sushi I've had! The restaurant looks like your typical sushi restaurant with some table seating and a bar. We opted for the 15 course meal! It's pricey but it's 100% worth it! The sushi is prepared in front of you! The fish is delicious and fresh as well. The Chef and the rest of the staff provided exceptional service!
my mom and i grabbed a reservation at sushiichi for the last night she was in town -- the perfect way to end her stay here (and she's a difficult woman to please, dining-wise). the service was a good balance of friendly and efficient without feeling too rushed. we both opted for the 15-course option. every course was delicious -- the appetizers were probably the weakest point (the scallop felt a little off in its texture and taste, and the ocean trout felt a bit underwhelming), but the flavor combinations even with those were solid. standouts for me were the salmon belly, the otoro, and the ebi with foie gras (melt in your mouth bliss, in five words). everything felt fresh, every flavor combination seemed to meld well, and the menu itself felt like a unique and innovative spin on a classic lineup that didn't take away from the central piece of the fish. finished off with a raspberry yuzu panna cotta, which was as delightful as it sounds. overall, a perfect way to end my mom's visit to me and the city :)
It had been far too long since going to an omakase and this was a great one to get back in the swing of things! Just before their one year anniversary my husband and I dined here for a date night. We splurged for the 15 course omakase and I wish I would have remembered more of what all the courses were because each and every one was delicious. The chef was right in front of us and did an excellent job of explaining each and every course. The code and service was top tier and never made us feel like we were waiting on anything. There were some unique flavors here I wasn't expecting - some salsas for example - that were surprising and delicious. Highly recommend!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST STELLAR omakases I've ever enjoyed!!! Chef Frankie's flavors are simply fire. And the upgrade for the 15 piece omakase is totally worth it in terms of the quality & flavors!! I'm still drooling thinking about the little touches that all together added up to a truly memorable experience -- like the in house pickled young ginger that explodes with flavor, the knock your socks off scallop with truffle sauce, the most thoughtfully layered donburi I've ever had! I wish I could eat here every month! And oh - the space itself is beautiful. Minimalist, but warm with beautiful touches. If you care about big flavor and beautiful textures in your food, you must get a seat at Chef Frankie's bar!!!
Nice addition to the neighborhood. It's a 12 or 15 course omakase menu. Tough choice on which one to order and I think it'll depend on what's on the menu for the day (ask the chef!). They seem to have a good source for their sushi as we had many interesting niguri such as the tasmanian salmon, Norwegian scampi , Canadian lobster and a really nice super premium Hokkaido uni. The dishes all had a nice clean flavor style where you weren't overpowered by too many ingredients but still could pick out unique tastes like the baked garlic and olive leaves on the pike. Simple space and friendly staff and worth a visit!
Very friendly service and good sushi! I enjoyed that there were several courses with uni, which is my favorite. The best piece was the lobster that had some crunchy deep fried leaf below it. We were celebrating a birthday so they were kind enough to give us two glasses of champagne on the house. The only cons were that I generally don't love all the truffle and fancy toppings on top of fish in omakase restaurants. I prefer more traditional pieces that just honor the fish, but that was my own fault for not looking at photos ahead of time. There was also a very long wait between each piece we got, I think in part bc the chefs were talking a lot with the couples further down the counter. But not a huge deal. Definitely a great add to the area and reasonably priced!
Sushiichi is a new omakase on the block that threads the fine line of original omakase sushi and sashimi flavours while have a layer of the chef's expression on the board. There are some interesting flavours prepared but it is hard to say if they beat some of the originals. A great spot to try if you're in the area, if you liked Mari, you'd like this too (even though the backgrounds are different). Taste: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Value for Money: 4/5 Pro tip: There are two menus a 12 course and a 15 course. The 15 course is quite literally the 12 course plus the 3 additional ones below it. 1. Sea scallop, Uni and truffle - great start 2. 5 days fluke wasabi powder - good crunch 3. Amberjack crispy shallots and jalapeño - interesting 4. Sea bream madai shisho flower - nice bite 5. Blue fin tuna soy glazed garlic - classic 6. Shimaaji (striped jack) with pico de gallo - overpowering from the pico de gallo not a fan 7. Tamachi shishito pepper - okay 8. Seared lobster shisho leaf tempura and ikura - was the best thus far! 9. Hokkaido Uni and rice - classic 10. Akashi toro - with truffle 11. Donburi - forbidden rice and Uni and toro - forbidden rice was crunchy rest was good 12. Raspberry yuzu panna cotta - great way to end The premium set (15 course 3 add-on) 1. Kamasu , ginger and chive 2. Tasmanian ocean trout 3. Ororo with caviar All in all, good spot despite all the competition in the area!
