A Carmel Valley sushi counter from a Sushi Ota protege that Roger calls consistently top-notch, built around a multi-course Pride Omakase and finished with green tea tiramisu.
Start with pride Omakase (6 courses) or green tea tiramisu or red bean ice cream, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

“Any protege of Sushi Ota that has opened their own restaurant never ceases to impress!”
Went for the six-course Pride Omakase after Sushi Ota was too packed to walk into. Warns not to order an "Americanized" sushi roll here — go to Sushi Deli for that instead. Save room for the green tea tiramisu and red bean ice cream.
