ISHI offers omakase by Chef Ken Ishibashi Friday through Sunday. The menu changes based on what fish the sushi chef orders that week. Reservations are required for the sushi restaurant on Fridays and Saturdays, but on Sundays, walk-ins are accepted. Follow the sushi chef on Instagram to see what fish to expect each week.
