瞞著爹 壽司創始店(預約制無菜單料理) - Section 2

Very delicious omakaze, fresh ingredients and entertaining chef! Very clean shop, nice ambient, better make reservation.

Not worth to try. Fish was cold. Sashimi and sushi were not so much delicious as compared to other Japanese restaurant in Taipei. So-called omakase. ??

Awesomely nice omakase in taipei. 3rd time here and NV fail to impress me. Reservations required and accept cash only

Great food, great service and great experience. This is my first time to eat Omakesa and it was an amazing experience. I ordered the most expensive set and got a total of 18 dishes.

The best restaurant during my five-day Taipei trip! Excellent and fresh fish from the seas of Japan at a fraction of similar omakase experiences found in other parts of the world. I had little expectation of this place, especially when I found out that none of the chefs there are Japanese and the Chef with us said he is trained by a local. However, the worry was non existent after a while. The dishes that were served to us were of a high standard and the explanations given were of no lesser quality of a Michelin star sushi restaurant in Japan and Singapore. I would definitely return to this place if I go back to Taipei, and it will be one of the top recommendations I would give to all foodies. Only drawback is that they only accept cash and speaks little English, so had to do some googling to find out what the name of the fish was and had to get my friend to translate.

Famous for omakase. Didn’t expect to be sitting on 2/F when sushi bar was on 1/F. Total lack of communication with the sushi chef. Not quite a satisfactory omakase experience and I wondered if it was still omakase save that I didn’t get to order what exactly to eat. The food was fairly good but I didn’t quite enjoy the seasoning on fish. The only exception was truffle oil on grouper sushi. Who doesn’t like truffle oil? That said, I have to admit I didn’t really think truffle oil should be used on sushi. When its strong flavour became the only taste left, it defeated the purpose of eating fish raw. I read from some reviews that the politeness of staff was a frequent subject of complaint. I did not have such problem at all. As I saw it, they were quite nice. I would rate their service 4-star. It was the way they were taught to introduce food that got 1 star deducted. Please don’t keep telling people you cooked the sauce for 5 hours or how many ingredients you have used. Not only was it annoying, it did not necessarily mean good food was cooked that way. I left this restaurant with a full belly, only because I was half full when I came. The portion was arguably sufficient and that’s what quite a few reviewers were complaining. Having regard what I ate, there was little doubt that it was excessively overpriced and way too overrated. I was glad that I was talked out of picking the most expensive dinner plan. I definitely wouldn’t come again and would NOT recommend this “omakase” sushi shop.

Just soso given the price and was expecting a bit more. Chosen 1680 lunch omakase set. Sashimis not too impressive especially tried better 旗魚sashimi in some cheaper local shops. Tried some raw fish sushi which I haven’t tried before. Maybe I am not used to it but it just doesn’t impress me anyway. The cooked food are more impressive. Steamed egg with truffles, and the grilled fish did taste well! Dessert tastes ok but not surprising. Overall, won’t re-visit in my opinion.

Nothing disappointing but nothing surprising neither. 4 price range for omakase dinner, we picked 2nd highest one ($3,800 + 10%), food was a lot more than enough. Quality is not bad, everything was fresh and nice, but just that none of the dish gave me this “OMG this is so nice” feeling at all..
