Omakase by Gino Santa Ana Reviews from The Last Year
My boyfriend made a reservation here for my birthday and it
My boyfriend made a reservation here for my birthday and it was amazing!! The whole set up and area is so nice and it feels like we were actually in Japan. There were constant refills in drinks. I got the hot matcha and I drank around 4 cups at least! The food was amazing, I have no complaints. The fish is fresh and very well taken care of. The oyster was my favorite. It was so good that I was tearing up a bit from happiness. The uni pasta with truffle was also amazing. It was the perfect touch of cheesy flavor with the uni. It was also my first time seeing an actual whole truffle get shaved down! All Chef Gino's sushi is very well prepared and served nicely for you. It didn't have super overpowering fish/sea water taste and it melts in your mouth. He is very open about where he gets his fish and making conversation :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!
Twice!!! First with me and wifey.
.. Then recently, the wifey and our 16-yr old who loves sushi. TLDR - this place ruined my/our taste buds. So far, no other omakase we have tried comes close... And with 19~ items - absolutely good value for the price!!!
I came here for my boyfriend's birthday on Wednesday for
I came here for my boyfriend's birthday on Wednesday for the later 8pm seating. The restaurant has two seatings a night for 10 guests Wednesday through Sunday. It is bar seating to watch Gino prepare our dishes. The restaurant is small, intimate, and cozy, a little hidden on the street. There was only one waitress, and she was very sweet. There is only one omakase to order, and the dishes change every so often. The omakase is $225 per person which is crazy in my opinion but that's the price around here. The fish quality was amazing, and we loved experimenting different fishes and preparation techniques. There were 20 dishes, and a nice variation of sashimi, nigiri, and Gino's unique creations. The flavors were simple, clean yet delicious, and really allowed the fish to shine. We were just about full at the end, not too full but definitely satisfied. Overall, OmG is a special place to celebrate with loved ones. I'm still iffy about whether is it worth the $225 pp before tax and tip, but for a special occasion to try out somewhere my boyfriend has been wanting to then sure.
Very well done traditional sushi using top quality
Very well done traditional sushi using top quality ingredients. Excellent! Our new favorite sushi restaurant in Orange County . Gino was very interesting, informative, and fun. He has a great mastery of his ingredients.
Such a wonderful and beautiful experience I had with Gino.
Plates were presented beautifully and its taste was absolute. Thank you Gino for providing me and my party with a pleasant evening.
Best sushi ever! Gino and staff were so accommodating and
Best sushi ever! Gino and staff were so accommodating and the food was out of this world. Would definitely recommend for any special occasion and come hungry... wished I hadn't eaten lunch there was so much great food!!
Took my son here for his birthday (and first omakase
Took my son here for his birthday (and first omakase experience) last week and had a great time. Service was great, and it was enjoyable just watching Chef Gino prepare the dishes. Food was amazing- my favorites were the uni dishes. Chef Gino explained what everything was and where it came from when serving up each dish. Ambiance was perfect with light jazz music in the background. The timing of each course was well thought out, and the two-hour service flew by. We parked in the parking structure though there is limited street parking. I do want to note that there was no included service charge on the bill when I went, in case anyone was wondering. Overall, a fun and delicious experience.
I managed to snag reservations with OmG on resy after
I managed to snag reservations with OmG on resy after getting on their waitlist. Reservations open at 10 AM the second Sunday of the month for the next month so be quick otherwise you'll need to get on the waitlist! Walking into the cozy and warm restaurant, you're greeted by the hostess and the chef. You're seated at the chefs table so you can see Chef Gino work his magic and craft his wonderful dishes for the night. I really loved Chef Gino's explanation of all the different fish and it was really nice hearing about his journey to being a sushi chef. He made a lot of the plates and drink ware that are used in the restaurant so that just makes the omakase feel extra special. Pacing for the night was very nice and there were a lot of dishes served that night. If you're a fan of uni, you are in for quite the treat! The scallop and uni course was phenomenal! You definitely get an enjoyable amount of food from the omakase so don't eat any snacks before! Overall I'm so glad I was able to dine here. I would definitely come back again to try out the offerings in the spring, summer, and winter. Many many kudos to Chef Gino and crew for the amazing night!
My girlfriend and I came here for an early Valentine's Day
My girlfriend and I came here for an early Valentine's Day celebration after trying to make reservations for a few months (hint: they open up reservations for the following month on the second Sunday of every month at 10AM PST. Make sure to have a Resy account already made!) The food, as expected, was phenomenal with only a couple courses that were "misses" in our opinion. The otoro, which we were really looking forward to trying, missed the mark completely as the piece of fish my girlfriend and I were served were very "tendon-y" and hard to chew. The same goes for a couple of the other courses, but were less noticeable. Another thing that didn't fit our palette was the sprinkle of salt on every piece of sushi that was served, kind of over powering taste wise. Our favorite dish was the black truffle Uni udon, which was filled with flavor! It was a toss up between the udon, red fish in pictures below, panna cotta, and Uni/scallop. The interior is very cute and the service is attentive! Overall, I don't think this justifies the price tag ($225/pp before tax, tip, and drinks) but it was nice to finally try.
Fantastic experience and Chef Gino is very funny and a
Fantastic experience and Chef Gino is very funny and a delight to talk to. He shared his stories while also showing off his excellent abilities. We got to see him cut, slice, and prepare everything at the bar. You share an L shape bar with 9-10 customers at a time and honestly, everyone was pretty nice and fun to talk to. We all found out that Chef Gino crafted the bar and a lot of his plates/dishes by himself or with family at a pottery place. His restaurant was very homey and comfortable, especially knowing he handcrafted so much of it. It's a good amount of food but I was comfortably full, not stuffed. Chef Gino explains each dish thoroughly so it was nice to know what you're eating. His dishes were pretty on par with a lot of delicious omakases I've had in the past. I definitely recommend this experience for anyone looking for a good time. Logistics: There's meter street parking or the parking structures. It's in front of a busy street so drop off is difficult. Reservations for the next month do come out on the 2nd Sunday of the month. So I was on Resy exactly at 9:59am Sunday morning of January to book my February reservation. It's not too difficult to book as long as you're on time. Check his Instagram for more information.
Gino was awesome and the food was delicious.
This was probably the best omakase experience I've had in the states. He has 2 dinner times and my group of ten people booked the 8PM slot. It was a nice intimate dinner between close friends and the service was impeccable. I always had my water cup filled and never had an empty sake glass. The course was set at $225 per person but I forgot the total since we kept ordering drinks and there was a service charge plus tax. Everything was delicious and I licked the plates clean (literally). Some of the sauces that Gino makes were so tasty that I requested some rice to help me finish any leftover sauce. He gave me a giant ball of rice during the middle of our course as a joke. It was a lot of food. We got a starter, chawanmushi, some uni pasta, soup, scallop, a sashimi platter and 9 to 10 pieces of nigiri. I wish I could post more photos. Highly recommend if you can book a reservation which can be made on Resy.
Consider how difficult it is to get reservations for this
Consider how difficult it is to get reservations for this place - I had high expectation of OmG but somehow fell short. Everything was OK but nothing was WOW... glad that I finally got to try though.
The fish was so fresh.
Service was great! It's a nice cozy atmosphere where only the head chef prepares everything.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.

Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
