My husband and I despaired of finding a sushi place that would not disappoint us or served items commonly found at your ordinary sushi restaurants and made subpar at that. We were blown away by No Relations. It exceeded our expectations. Alex, the general manager, was knowledgeable, courteous, attentive and made our experience extraordinary. The two sushi chefs were very skilled in presenting delectable sushi bites that well represented an omakase experience that one only dreams of. The quality of the fish was mind blowing. Where their fish is sourced is of the highest quality. We have been to a lot of high-end sushi places in our travels both here and abroad and this bar none had the freshest, purest fish we have ever tasted. The Tyee and the tuna, were among an array of sublime seafood, were like none we had ever tasted, so fresh, so tender they melted on your tongue. We were hesitant to go at first because we have been so disappointed to try a new place in the past, but this is in a class by itself and we highly, highly recommend you make reservations. This is perfection in a sushi bite!

Our night two weeks ago at No Relation was wonderful. This was a repeat visit and from the “Welcome Back” on the menus to our seating preferences being honored we started off the dinner perfectly. My only concern was if this visit would live up to our last one, but I should not have worried, it was just as amazing…from the ambience to each delicious bite and the two sakes we paired with the meal, everything was delicious. We also decided to splurge and enjoy all of the additional bites at the end of the menu. We had some unique and amazing pieces of fish as well as the Wagyu and the “steak and eggs”, which is Wagyu and caviar. I can’t recommend this experience enough. We have been to other Omakase experiences and this, by far, is our favorite. We are already looking forward to coming back again!

I never write reviews but feel like I have to for this. Every dish served was great, it felt like an omagashu that was both experimental but not too exotic. It would be a great introduction to that style of dining for anyone and everyone
