    Had the Omakase. It was great! Cocktails were inventive and well balanced. The vibe was relaxed and noise level allowed easy conversation.

    The chefs are brilliant. You absolutely need to go Omakase. The marinades, the subtle garnishes, the presentation — wow. I’ve eaten here half a dozen times and every time I’ve been blown away. I’m used to big city sushi in LA in Tokyo and this stuff hangs right in there with the best of them. Gochisousama deshita!!!💪🏼🙏❤️🇯🇵🎏

    We had an amazing experience at Jinsei Motto enjoying the 16-course omakase. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. It is quite expensive but you know that going in. The food and drinks were terrific. Can’t wait to go back!
