I reviewed Sushi Suite 202 back in 2021, when the pandemic made life unpredictable and unfair, in general. Tonight’s experience was another story altogether and I publicly eat my words. Sushi Suite 202 was an experience, with well-crafted cocktails and expert omakase. What I didn’t expect was partnering with two beautiful couples during the dining and it made the experience so much better. Thank you, Suite 202, and I want to apologize to you for giving a one-star review for having missed this 5 years ago.

Great creative possibly Asian fusion omakase experience with lots of fish varieties flown from Japan with nice sake pairing.

It was such an intimate and unique experience. Crit, the Chef was so interesting and gentle. An artist who took pride in his craft. The drinks were delicious and The host, i forgot his name, was engaging and really made it a special experience. It ruined regular sushi for me forever!

There is no sign. No kitchen. No menu. Just six seats, seventeen courses, and one unforgettable evening behind the door marked 202. This is not a sushi dinner. It is a hidden experience disguised as one. You walk down a hotel hallway and enter what feels like a secret clubhouse for those who know how to eat well and live better. Chef Chris is an artist disguised as a chef. Every piece he served was deliberate and elegant. From A5 wagyu crowned with caviar to perfectly balanced hand rolls, each course was a nod to precision, restraint, and joy. The Omakase is not rushed nor rigid. Want an encore of your favorite bite? They will oblige. Want to linger afterward and spin some vinyl from the corner record shelf? That is encouraged. McKenna, our bartender and drink guide, struck the perfect balance of warmth and knowledge. She offered us tastings to help us discover the right sake and introduced us to Japanese whiskeys that made us rethink our preferences. It is intimate without being stuffy. Elevated without taking itself too seriously. This is Omakase for people who enjoy storytelling, craft, and the kind of memories that start with “Remember that sushi dinner in the hotel room?” Pro tip: bring someone who appreciates the details. The rest will take care of itself.

Sushi Suite 202 is a true gem for omakase lovers! This was my second time visiting and once again they exceeded my expectations. The quality and freshness of each piece were impeccable, with every bite offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The chef was engaging and meticulous, making the experience feel both personal and elevated. If you’re looking for an unforgettable sushi experience, Sushi Suite 202 is absolutely worth it.

Came here for my birthday and was one of my favorite dinners ever! The experience is so intimate and fun, the chef and staff are so personable and easy to have fun with! They made the experience 1000x better. As for the food, every piece we were served was beyond amazing. It’s been one week and I’m still craving every course of that meal. We will definitely be back!
