Tasting Menus

Recommended
Tier 1
Taneda Sushi in Kaiseki
Very hard to get reservations! Best bet is to sign up for cancellation notifications, or stalk their page at midnight for a spot 60 days out
Tier 2
Copine Eight Row (closed)Carrello
Altura's younger sibling, just as solid at a lower price point
Cook Weaver Archipelago Cafe Juanita
Four tasting menus (omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan) and you're allowed to mix and match components of each
The Herbfarm Surrell
They are very slow. Expect a 2.5-3 hr long meal
Sushi Kashiba
Only visited once back in 2016ish, so it's hard to rank appropriately
Altura
12/31/2025: third visit, much less impressive than the first two; good meal, but not amazing. Nothing particularly stood out
The Shambles (no longer offered)
Tier 3
ILMU
Pretty solid based on a first visit, could move up through the tiers if it holds up
A bit too reliant on foaming things as a gimmick, wish there was more variety
Canlis
mostly for the views and to see if new executive chef is doing anything interesting
Ltd Edition Sushi
solely fish focused (unlike, e.g. Taneda)
generous sushi sizes
flavor mixes a little hit or miss
Sushi by Scratch
Very fusion, but keeps the flavors subtle so they work pretty well
Vibe is too modern for our liking
Sushi Suzuki TOMO
Portions are on the smaller side
Tier 4
Takai by Kashiba
The "free" parking situation really brings this low. They pair with some commerical building whose time limit isn't even long enough for the omakase and who tickets you literally a minute past your time window
Sushi Kappo Tamura
Decent
