Omakase Cost Estimator
Enter the quote supplied for your visit; this is not a live price feed. Extras are a budget you choose, not a published sake-pairing price. Tip is calculated on the pre-tax food-and-extras subtotal. Check the actual tax and any included service charge before adding gratuity.
Omakase vs. Somakase: Ask About the Format
10-Course Chef’s Tasting
The published omakase has ten courses. Ask about the day’s dishes, whether prices are per person, and which premium additions cost extra. A fixed course count does not mean unlimited courses.
Somakase
The current menu describes a curated tasting and directs guests to their server for details. It does not establish the old six-course format or a $65 price. Confirm course count, portioning and quote before choosing it.
The menu also lists a ten-course vegetarian tasting highlighting seasonal vegetables. Vegetarian does not automatically mean vegan or suitable for an allergy; discuss the complete preparation before ordering.
Confirm the tasting when you plan the table
Use the reservation guide to reach the current booking route. Ask the restaurant whether your chosen tasting, seating preference and dietary request need advance arrangements. Do not assume a particular sushi-bar policy from an older review.
What to Actually Expect
Agree on the tasting and price before the first course. Ask whether a quoted amount covers each guest, whether dishes are shared, and whether supplements or additional nigiri change the bill. Tell the server your budget and preferences; do not assume the chef keeps sending food until you stop.
An à la carte order or happy-hour visit is another way to choose how much you spend. Compare the actual order, not an unsupported fixed total for two.
Is Uchi Omakase Worth It?
A tasting may suit you if you want the kitchen to choose a sequence and you are comfortable with the confirmed quote. Choose à la carte if you want more control over individual dishes or spending. Ask about seating and pace for a time-sensitive visit; the course list and experience can change.
