Saitama, Japan｜すし酒家 一歩

Just one word “wow”. Was just randomly looking around to see what’s there to eat around Omiya station and found this gem of a place. There are no English reviews, but with the high reviews, decided to give this place a guy. Walking in, the staff are very friendly, the service here is amazing. Food itself, no words can compare. the food is more than worth what the price is. Having been to fancier places for sushi, this place, the grade and quality of the sushi and seafood, outranks many more expensive restaurants, would definitely come back and definitely recommend. The tuna set is a must get, and it just melts in your mouth. You definitely need to try this place out! Coming on a Wednesday night, it was packed to the roof. Imagine if you come in a Friday/sat night. Best to avoid it. It is an izakaya so there is a table charge for you people wondering! Atmosphere 10/10 Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Price 10/10

To begin with, the service here was amazing. The place was packed with locals, which was a great sign! The food, for the the price... was spectacular. I would compare the food to be on par with more expensive restaurants you would find in central Tokyo. Would definitely recommend this hidden gem!

I used it at a drinking party. It is easily accessible from Omiya station in 5 minutes. I attended from far away, but it was convenient. The customer service was cheerful and I was surprised at how polite they were when they handed me a jack and said thank you for your hard work today. I had the course and all-you-can-drink, but the course consisted of mozuku, salad grilled fish, fried shrimp, crab cream croquette, miso dengaku, and the final sushi and fish course. All-you-can-drink options are available, and there are also drinks that you don't often see, like the maca-garlic soft-shelled turtle sour. It's also convenient to be able to order using the touch panel. You can also order course meals by paying an additional fee. The grilled engawa was fatty and delicious. They also had fried oysters, so I ordered them, and the freshly fried oysters with tartar sauce were the best. Although it's a sushi bar, yakitori and other meats were also on the menu. I was concerned about the texture of the pig. If I lived nearby, I would use it every week.
