TONARI by Uroko

“Review is for Tonari by Uroko. I think there needs to be more concepts like this — 12 course omakase that only lasts 45min. (You simply don’t need to be at an omakase for 2-2.5hrs) Excellent dishes for the price point and glad to have still had time on my hands. The scallop, Wagyu, and fish bone soup were the stand out dishes for me. Would do this again and prefer it over a lot of overpriced omakases in town.”

“This place is a solid 3.5 star but the service takes it up to 4. It’s the most reasonably priced omakase and they are quite efficient but shouldn’t come as news that some pieces are amazing but others are just ok. Obviously you’re getting what you pay for. I do like that they do a $30 sake flight it’s such a fair price and add a nice touch. Ended up trying the hand rolls after as I was still hungry and I must say they are so generous with the fish and the portions are just right. The only problem was that it’s only 1 person working and a ton of people ordering so it kind of beats the concept of a hand roll place if you have to wait 15 mins for a roll.”

“Perfect for a quick and easy lunch. Order at the counter and find a place to sit. The fish is fresh and buttery. The rolls were deliciously crafted. There was a bit too much rice to fish ratio but the flavors were tasty. I’d love to come back for the omakase some day”

“Fresh sushi handrolls at a walk-up counter (they make ‘em right there in front of you!). Their rice is fabulous. Also they’ve an *excellent* speciality and hard-to-find sake selection — would be easy to miss this, but don’t!! They also offer take-out omakase and handroll classes, which is neat. Price point ~$6-12 per handroll.”

“Quick and delicious. 12pcs in 45 minutes $110 incl taxes fees & 20% gratuity A few of our bites were a bit on the bland side, but that comes from someone who is used to a lot more sauce on their nigiri. Plus the chef prob wants us to really taste the natural sweetness and flavors of the fish. The sushi chef is quite innovative and experimental with the food. If you do the 8pm seating or earlier you can go outside right after to grab some hand rolls if you’re still hungry (they close at 9pm). Same owner, same kitchen, same high quality fish. We shared 6 rolls among us 4 after 😛”
