Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar brings the chef’s-choice tasting tradition to Aruba — order omakase and the chef sends out his evening’s selection course-by-course, building around what’s freshest and his recommendations rather than a fixed menu. Located off the resort strip, Omakase has built a small loyal following for proper Japanese technique applied to the freshest fish on the island.

About Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar
The Omakase concept (translated: I leave it up to you) is the centerpiece — sit at the counter, tell the chef your budget and any restrictions, and watch the meal unfold piece-by-piece. À la carte sushi and rolls are also available for diners who prefer to choose. The dining room is small and intimate, more sushi-bar than restaurant. The chef is hands-on, often the one greeting guests and walking through the night’s special items. Reservations strongly recommended given the limited counter seating.
Signature dishes & menu highlights
Order the Chef’s Omakase for the full experience — typically 8-12 courses depending on selection, ranging from light starters through nigiri sequences and finishing with a substantial maki or a hot plate. À la carte favorites: Toro Nigiri (when available), Spicy Tuna Roll, Salmon Sashimi, and the Vegetable Tempura. Sake selection is curated and well-priced. Beer and wine also available.

What guests are saying
Reviewers consistently call out the chef’s enthusiasm and willingness to walk diners through each course. Sushi quality is praised as among the best on the island.
