What is Omakase?
That is correct!
Finish reading my review in the “P.S.” section.

Aside from what I order at Sushi of Gari (WEST SIDE, because the east side one maybe better but I can live without my fellow patrons’ head-sized-snot-bubbles ), Amazon has Omakase ad placement! I’d like to shake the hand of the person that came up with that terminology, because it’s way more fun than the word “Adsense”.
P.S. Here is the rest of the restaurant review as promised from the link “Sushi of Gari” above:
“Is the tuna platter bad?” you ask? Hell no, it’s just that I’ve made friends with the lovely chefs at the sushi bar and I order Omakase. Now that you know what “omakase” means, I can tell you that if you respect the chefs at the bar, you will get stuff that one can only dream of. Combinations of different and delicious foams, sauces, degrees of seared-ness, uni, salmon roe, squid, cooked toppings, raw toppings, I can go on and on. Just TELL THEM what you want and don’t want and they will whip up a match that is surprisingly tasty and you won’t get it anywhere else. If you are super nice to them, you can even make some requests for special pieces that you’ve got to have – like my salmon and roasted tomato or the foie gras sushi. Yes, they have foie gras sushi and it’s marvelous.
Ok you’re feeling light headed with all the possibilities. In summary, when you go to Gari (preferrably with reservation) ask for a seat at the bar and let the chef whisk you away to the sushi disco heaven. If you’re going with someone who won’t touch raw fish, sit at a table and order some cooked food. It won’t be as amazing as the omakase, but Gari deals with those folks pretty well.
p.s.s thanks jason miller. we miss you & pat.
