Hidden Gem: Sushi Taka Omakase in Ho Chi Minh City
Tucked away in the vibrant alley of 8A Thai Van Lung in District 1, you'll find a truly special experience. Head to the end of the alley, turn right, and then go all the way to the end again. The entrance to Sushi Taka Omakase is on your left, next to the last house.
The omakase experience unfolds on the second floor. Stepping inside, you're immediately transported to Japan. The intimate space features just two tables, each accommodating four guests, and a sushi bar with seating for ten.
Omakase Delights
Sushi Taka offers four different omakase sets. The most premium option is priced at 1.5 million VND. The 1.3 million VND set I enjoyed was incredibly satisfying.
The fish is unbelievably fresh and flavorful. The chef's skill is evident in every bite, and the service is cheerful and attentive. It's a near-perfect dining experience, deserving of a solid rating.
The only minor issue is a slight fishy aroma upon entering the dining room, which dissipates after about five to ten minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fresh fish for the price. A truly memorable meal.
