Hikari Sushi & Omakase in Davis

We had the most incredible meal here! Everything was fantastic: the beautiful interior, friendly service, phenomenal courses, and knowledgeable chefs. We appreciated learning about each course (22 total!), where the fish and beef were sources from, and what made each dish special and unique. Its clear the owners and staff are passionate about what they do and providing the best experience possible for their customers - even noticed that we were left handed and subsequently changing the positioning of how they plated our food. So many small details that really enhanced the experience. We dont usually treat ourselves to such nice meals but this was well worth it! Seems like we got even more than we paid for. They also called us ahead of time to plan a dairy-free substitute dessert. Cant wait to be back and bring our friends and family along. Amazing experience!

The chef takes you on a journey through amazing and uncommon japanese cuisine, taking time and care to explain the different ingredients, how he sources them responsibly, and showing off the care and skill in their preparation. A wonderful experience and worth returning to every few months to see what has changed.

Surprised there is a reasonably priced omakase outside the Bay Area. Everything was extremely fresh and the chef explained all the dishes, including provided authenticity certificates for some of the fish and wagyu. Will definitely be back!

Omakase here was truly a wonderful experience. The chef/owner is incredibly personable and the overall dining experience was very comfortable and really embodied family vibes. The bluefin tuna was absolutely to die for and it was really fun passing the certification around for it which includes where it was caught and everything. Ive tried to include (oops out of focus/blurry) photos of everything. This was truly an experience I cant recommend enough for anyone celebrating a special occasion!! (Will probably force my boyfriend to come here for our anniversary!) Ive only had omakase before in Melbourne (which was also amazing) but I wouldnt say I was full afterwards. I was surprisingly full after omakase here at Hikari. They truly put their heart and soul into picking ingredients and preparing amazing well-balanced dishes and even when picking chefs for hire. This place is a gem!

The MOST amazing sushi experience I have ever had. A reservation is a must - the restaurant is very cozy. We dined at the sushi bar and chef was very personable, hospitable, and generous. The entire meal was carefully thought out - from the dishes and glasses to the first courses and then the main meal. Toro was the special and it melted in my mouth. This was an incomparable meal. I cant wait to go back for another special occasion!

We are loooong overdue for this one.So much to say about Hikari. Hands down one of the best dining experiences we have personally ever had.The quality of the ingredients first jumps to mind. California is known for some of the best ingredients but Hikari sources the best of the best. Consistently rotating menus because of which ingredients are in season and purposely selecting sustainable fish. The attention to detail is impeccable.The restaurant is so cozy and authentic that you just can’t stop to take a moment while you’re eating to really take in how unbelievable of an experience you are enjoying will eating the food.On our Instagram and restaurant guide, Hikari is and always will be a center piece for Davis.

Full omakasi experience includes 19 course tasting menu. The menu rotates based on availability of ingredients and seasonality. They source locally whenever possible.Each course was excellent. They take pride not only in the quality of their ingredients and preparation but in providing a total dining experience. The chefs explain the components of each dish, where the ingredients were sourced, and how to eat each dish.

This is a brand new, small family restaurant. Family should be an operative word here. The cook, sous chef and people who take care of customers are family and really nice people. They offer high quality sushi during the week but on Friday and Saturday they have one seating at 7 pm for a fantastic dinner experience of 7-9 plates. The quality of the fish and the overall food was amazing. Because there is only one cook, service will be a bit slow. So enjoy the ride and go with no pressure. Experience takes about 2.5 hours. Cost is above average, but remember this is a dining experience. Owners still need to fine tune the experience, but I hope the city rallies behind this new restaurant and keep it afloat. We need this type of dining experiences in Davis.

Very high quality food and good service. The value for the omakase is pretty good. We got the omakase San and every piece was tasty, but the toro and king salmon were my favorite. Was nice to try real wasabi too.

If you would like to experience the best quality of sushi in Davis, visit Hikari! The chef will serve you the best dishes with the passion. I have been to many sushi places and also omakase experiences (not just in the US but overseas). But, this place is definitely worth paying $$$ for Omakase. They just opened, so as they settle for business, your experience will only get better :)
