#weekendgetaways #traveldiaries #100waysoftravel #deliciousfood #malaysiatrip #travellerswonderland Too bored of the same routine / running out on food ideas? Why not indulge in an Omakase experience! Omakase literally means “I Leave The Details Up to You” Omakase directly translates to - "I leave it up to you." The term Omakase gained popularity in the 1990s. Omakase, a chef-curated dinner, is famous for its direct interactions with the chef. The customer leaves the order details to the sushi chef. You will be amazed with the mysterious menu and food choices that will be served to you! What’s more exciting is the omakase experience and vibes that the sushi chef offers to you with great explanation and interaction! Try it out yourself and you will never regret! 🍣

📍Location Jln Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia * Located next to Dorsett Kuala Lumpur Hotel ☑️Operating Hours Closed on Mondays 12:00 PM - 2:30 PM / 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM ☑️Reservations Reservations are mandatory through the website (at least one week in advance). Sushi Ori was selected as a 'Michelin Selected Restaurant' in the 2025 Michelin Guide Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur & Penang). Even in 2024, when I visited, it was already listed in the Michelin Guide. Sushi Ori is considered one of the premium sushi restaurants locally. I never expected to enjoy such luxurious and fresh high-end omakase in Malaysia. Whenever I visit a new country or city, I make it a point to read the Michelin Guide and visit one of the listed restaurants. Sushi Ori truly left a lasting impression on me. Chef Hideaki Oritsuki (Ori-san) has over 10 years of experience living in Japan, mastering traditional Edomae sushi techniques. The sushi is crafted with shari made using Akita red vinegar and fresh ingredients flown in from Japan three times a week, creating a sensory masterpiece. The seating is at the counter, where the chef personally prepares and serves each piece of sushi directly to you. This is the epitome of authentic omakase. While the atmosphere isn’t flashy or overly chatty, the chef’s serious and focused demeanor creates an immersive dining experience. The vinegar rice (shari) is firmer and tangier than typical white rice, and most of the fish is sourced directly from Hokkaido, Japan. The interior is modern and sleek, with a black theme that exudes elegance and sophistication. The tableware is stunningly beautiful, making it a joy to examine each piece. If you’re visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I highly recommend Sushi Ori.

If you want premium Omakase experience with affordable price, look no further! Chanced upon this place on google while I was searching for Omakase in KL. Checked out the reviews and decided this was the place and it did not disappoint. Priced at 400rm+, this set was the mid tier with about 15 course. They offer 3 tiers and this was the middle one. Words definitely can’t describe the delectable cuisine so I will leave it up to you to check it out!
