I haven't ordered their nigiri/sashimi a la carte, so I don't know for sure, but I've seen the $28 nigiri set on Dennis the Foodie's post (http://bit.ly/1JkYRXt). It looks like it's fairly priced, but note that it doesn't contain the Blue Fin Otoro (which is valued at $10/pc). Also note that Octopus' Garden doesn't serve nigiri with every omakase meal (based on other food bloggers' posts I've read). <br /><br />In summary, if you just want to sample their nigiri/sashimi, order it à la carte. You'll get more variety and it seems fairly priced. If you want to try a bit of everything, then go for the omakase!Raymond Zenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969489336607117618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184018948812738751.post-27371577102797145792015-07-16T01:46:45.053-07:002015-07-16T01:46:45.053-07:00Oh my goodness, congratulations on 100 posts!

I've always wanted to go to Octopus Garden, do you think it's worth the price to just order nigiri/sashimi from the a la carte menu?WingHinhttp://thecameraeatsfirst.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184018948812738751.post-81133092083948831422015-07-15T18:17:20.533-07:002015-07-15T18:17:20.533-07:00Man, I have no recollection of that meal at all.

It is a little pricey if ordered à la carte, so if you are looking for a full meal, I would suggest the omakase.Raymond Zenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969489336607117618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184018948812738751.post-69586490450980498392015-07-15T14:49:16.507-07:002015-07-15T14:49:16.507-07:00Congratulations on your 100th sushi adventure!! :)...Congratulations on your 100th sushi adventure!! :) And now I really want to go there for the sashimi and nigiri thanks to your mouthwatering descriptions...Ashhttp://www.thegoldfishprincesseats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184018948812738751.post-19659198677445731302015-07-15T09:14:30.818-07:002015-07-15T09:14:30.818-07:00I've read through many of the posts by other b...I've read through many of the posts by other bloggers, and it does seem that those who had the omakase or stuck mainly with the sashimi and the nigiri sushi are the ones who tend to write the most positive reviews. I suppose that's really where their strength lies! I would love to hear about your experience at Octopus' Garden from the mid '90s!<br /><br />Yes, we each got our own omakase and we each received the courses shown above (except there was only one of the "Grapes and Cashews"). Other than the flavour of the macaron (my mom got a passionfruit one), everything we received was identical. They had it all nicely split for us so that there was no need for sharing!Raymond Zenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969489336607117618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184018948812738751.post-72501271867705426412015-07-15T07:13:13.330-07:002015-07-15T07:13:13.330-07:00That's so nice of you to celebrate this milest...That's so nice of you to celebrate this milestone (and what a milestone it is !) at OG, and to treat your Mom to the occasion too :-)<br /><br />I've been to OG but it wasn't an omakase, and was also in the mid (?) '90s so my impression of them is quite different than all the recent omakase meals that bloggers and people rave about. <br /><br />So did each of you get your own omakase, and you each received the courses shown above ?
