KOGANE

We recently had this lunchtime omakase menu at this restaurant. Alongside the omakase, we decided to order 2 additional pieces of sea perch and 2 hand rolls. However, to our surprise, when we received the bill, we were taken aback by the exorbitant prices for these extra items. They charged us an astonishing $40 for the 2 pieces of sea perch nigiri and another $40 for the 2 hand rolls. To make matters worse, the seared fish we were served had a bitter taste, which was quite disappointing considering the reputation of this restaurant. Additionally, during our meal, I had to repeatedly ask for a refill of my tea as my cup remained empty for extended periods. This overall experience left us feeling unsatisfied with both the pricing and the quality of the food. It's disappointing to encounter such a lack of reasonable pricing, especially at a restaurant that offers omakase dining. We believe that fair and reasonable pricing is an essential part of the dining experience, and this establishment fell short in that regard. Given our experience, we have decided not to return to this restaurant in the future. We hope that the management takes note of these concerns and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a better dining experience for future customers.

Choice of food for toddlers is quite limited but we all enjoyed the food and the stay. It was Dec 25 so they were I believe understaff and so orders came a bit late but was worth the wait. Cost was fair and parking’s free

Lunch omakase was incredible. Got to chat with chef Azumi throughout the courses he prepared and we had the opportunity to learn a lot about him and all fish he was preparing. He introduced us to nodoguro and it was one of the best pieces we had!
