Tahk Omakase Sushi

Impressively good sushi for a location so far from the sea or even a large airport. Great service and a wide range of options. Our special occasion destination for Steamboat.

Went with friends. Got seating by the chef’s making the sushi. Was hypnotic to watch. Full disclosure, I am no sushi savant…but I cleaned up everything I was given. Staff were friendly, but professional. Easily visit again. Thank you Tahk…🤛🏽💗

We had a great time eating Real Japanese sushi at your restaurant. Most importantly, every piece of sushi you served tasted great and was
delicious. The atmosphere was awesome and We thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.

We recently dined at Tahk Omakase and had the 12-piece Omakase at the bar (note: you have to call to make reservations for this experience, the online reservations are for normal table service). While I thought the fish was high quality and well prepared, unfortunately the rice was nowhere near the standard I would expect for this type of experience. It was dry, poorly seasoned, and cold. The rice was like supermarket sushi and not what I would expect for a high end Omakase meal. I did ask when it was made, and apparently they do it all in one batch prior to service. I was in the later seating (730pm) so it was in fact hours old. Most proper Omakase experiences will make the rice fresh for the service.. some even do multiple batches so the later portion of the meal has fresh rice.

In addition, the evening that we went, there was an enormous amount of tension between Chef Tahk and his staff. The bartender was scolded by Chef (something about a few misplaced tickets) creating a scene with the bartender walking-out mid-shift. Chef Tahk also berated a few other servers in front of the group, for not immediately responding to his beckoning calls. All of this created an awkward and uncomfortable dining situation. While I know he was frustrated, the chef needs to learn to deal with these issue in private while you have diners paying $95+ per person right in front of you.

All in all, while there is great potential in this experience, and I'd likely return for a 'standard' sushi experience here, I can not advocate for the Omakase at this cost, with terrible rice quality and the 'Kitchen Nightmares' style interaction between the Chef and his staff.
