    Been here many times and it’s always great. Great food, great service, and always a good time. It’s not stiff and solemn like some sushi restaurants. Highly recommend.

    We had a great time at this omakase experience!! Aung and his staff were friendly and took good care of us. Everything was delicious, and the BYOB aspect was a nice touch for being able to enjoy the sake of our choice (and share with others!)

    Came here for date night. Everything we had was incredible. Aung and his team gave us a delicious and fun dinner. There wasn't a bad bite we had, even the more interesting ones were delicious. The vibe, was relaxed and the music, we could not ask for a better experience.

    We had a great experience dining here and would gladly return. The food was delicious and creative for a reasonable price but the best part was Aung himself. He was quiet but funny, clever, and kept offering us shots of his favorite drink, tequila! His take on omakase was a little different from traditional dishes but was a nice change and I welcome his take. For me the best dishes was the hokkaido uni nigiri and the aburi otoro nigiri. It is a small intimate setting with 2 seatings of about 8 to 10 seats. You sit at a linear counter with Chef Aung and one assistant (Maddy) on the other side serving you throughout the night. The place is BYOB so you can bring a nice bottle of alcohol of your choice without the hefty price tag most other restaurants charge. There is some limited parking in the back. If you get a chance come visit Chef Aung. I'm sure he will not disappoint. It takes him several shots before he starts to loosen up so make sure you start him early.

    We had such a wonderful experience at Omakase by Aung! The intimate, small-group setting made the whole experience feel personal and special. Chef Aung was incredibly personable, engaging, and made the evening fun from beginning to end. Every course was beautifully presented, fresh, and creative. I especially loved the unique combinations and thoughtful touches throughout the meal—the sushi was not only delicious but also gorgeous to look at. You can really see the creativity and attention to detail that goes into each piece. Great food, great atmosphere, and a chef who genuinely interacts with his guests. Definitely a memorable omakase experience, and I would absolutely come back! 🍣✨

FAQs

Children do dine here, one reviewer mentioned a 12-year-old at their meal and several guests describe birthday celebrations and warm, personable service, so families have been welcomed. Keep in mind the experience is an intimate, counter-style omakase seating at the sushi bar.

For a calmer, intimate experience, choose lunch (Omakase By Aung serves lunch daily 1:00 pm–3:00 pm), reviewers say lunch felt like a near-private counter with just a few guests. If you prefer the lively, party-like vibe (singing and shared drinks), aim for a later dinner/second seating when the energy tends to pick up.

Expect dinner, especially later seatings, to be the liveliest: guests describe shared drinks, karaoke and a buzzing counter vibe, while lunch and early-dinner seatings tend to be much quieter and more intimate.

Omakase By Aung is modern and upbeat, a cozy 12-seat sushi counter with an open kitchen where BYOB, music and the chef’s playful hosting often create a lively, party-like dinner, while some seatings feel intimate and conversational.

Casual Dress, comfortable, nothing formal expected; it suits the restaurant’s modern, upbeat omakase counter and relaxed BYOB vibe.

Omakase By Aung offers a single, multi-course omakase (15 courses), and guests report the sequence provides a satisfying, properly paced amount of food.

Yes, Omakase By Aung's intimate 12-seat counter and multi-course omakase make it a popular choice for anniversaries and special occasions.
