A new omakase experience opened in the Arboretum last month.
Why it matters: It's the latest venture from the owners behind Prime Fish in Ballantyne and their traditional omakase experience in Providence Park, both of which offer some of the best sushi in town.
Context: The new tasting counter, located inside chef and owner Robin Anthony's other restaurant Nusa, is similar to their other omakase "leave it up to the chef" dining experience. But it focuses on yakitori items, which are pieces of protein like chicken, beef or pork on skewers that are grilled over Japanese charcoal.
- The menu is curated by chef Leo Zheng, who'll prep and cook items in front of you. Zheng has more than a decade of expertise and spent five years collaborating with executive chef Anthony.
How it works: The 12-course tasting menu includes five appetizers, five yakitori entrees and two desserts.
- It costs $185 per person and you must prepay for your reservation online. The space is relatively intimate for parties of up to four people.
- For an additional $75-$125, you can add an alcohol pairing to each dish led by a sommelier.
- The dinner experience lasts about two hours and is offered at 5:30pm and 8pm from Thursday through Sunday.
