Omaniku in San Gabriel

Very delayed review, but I had a 10/10 dining experience here last December!Had an incredible ambiance ✨Staff was knowledgeable and very friendly 🌟The food tasted as amazing as it looked 😍I’m sure the menu has updated since I’ve been here, which means I’ll be coming by again in the near future!

Tasting menu for $128 was well worth the money. Enjoyed every single dish and service from Dora was exceptional. Will definitely be back for more.

Omaniku is a great find. They give you 2 choices, the meat or seafood 13 course meal. If you dont want the course meal they have a side options. The drink full moontini is tasty. They waitress explains each meal presented. The portions are small but at the you are definitely full.

Ambience: cozy, tastefully decorated.Service: welcoming, attentive and spot on.Presentation: the first course set the tone of their tasting menu. Perhaps a little bit more attention to details will be great (tidy up and wipe the plate will definitely do the trick).Food: Be open-minded when going to a chefs tasting menu. It is not just about food but an overall experience.

The service was attentive and prompt. I got the beef omakase. Though it’s beef for the most part scallops and uni were served among other courses. The food was delicious. When I called to make the reservation they clearly let you know you have either seafood or beef option. The overall experiment was great.

I am very surprised that there is such a restaurant nearby. I went to dinner with a few friends last night. Although not every dish I like, but many are my favorites, this restaurant is highly recommended.

Overall I had a great experience. Definitely order the seafood, it paired perfectly with the beef. Only thing missing was some good drinks but theres always room for improvement. The servers were amazing, the ambience was great. Would recommend!

If you are about to consider eating in this restaurant, you must see this! They didnt charge the tips according to the receipt signed by me. They charging me extra tips, which seriously violated my rights as a consumer. Its no different from stealing money directly from my wallet. If youre fking rich, forget what I said.

Simple story, we booked reservation at 5 pm Saturday March 19 and we were excited finally to try this place.Walked up to the restaurant from parking lot and told the waitress we have reservation and she took us to a wobbly 2 table put-together in the back corner. We asked if we can switch to a different table since being early and no one us here. Another waiter came out and told us all tables are reserved and no way we can switch. Waitress asked the waiter if he can help fix the wobbly table and he denied and said theres nothing he can do.So we left.Were local and we come here for happy hours, drinks or steaks since Sheraton was open and now we lost a place to a restaurant whos renting the space from Sheraton.Upset? Not any more, just funny how a restaurant/ hotel would let this happen.

Save one star for the food. The quality of ingredient and the cooking were on point, but the experience was overall a dissapointment and we felt humiliated.Firstly, you can only call and left a message for your booking intent and wait for their call back. Booking was relatively easy with not much detail provided.Secondly, beware of the special house rules. They expect you to tell them during booking if you are here for their seafood menu. The things are they did not introduce the menu over the phone nor they explained their house rule. We were caught by surprice on site being told we could only choose the beef menu if not pre-selected the seafood menu during booking. The kitchen made an exception for us but it is just not the way it should be.Lastly, we expressed our intend to celebrate my wifes birthday during booking, they put the info in the system but did not honor it; Instead they did a birthday ceremony to table in front of us and we had to watch all that. We did not even bother to ask if that table had the same arrangement as we planned.The service was poorly train and immature. I agree with the other comment that it is not just about food but experience, and mine got ruined. Once the image is broken, I find less reason to visit again, especially for the reason we do not like to be humiliated again.
