The place is a small hidden gem that seats 10-11 people for a set omakase sushi dinner of 11 pieces. They have a list of other nigiri that you can get afterwords if you want to try a few more pieces. The chef is very knowledgeable and does seem to care about his craft, which one has to do for traditional edomae style sushi. The rice is made with care, individual pieces are marinated or come with all the sauce you need, and very impressively he uses real wasabi imported from Japan which if you've never tried you absolutely should (spicy but with sweetness not at all like the horseradish you find at most sushi restaurants.) Dinner is served with traditional Japanese green tea (Oocha) which is a nice compliment to the sushi.
A few notes, this is an omakase only bar, you cannot order individually, they don't have substitutions, you are going in for whatever the chef decides to give you that night. This is a great way to have sushi, but if you're not a die hard sushi fan it might not be for you. There is no alcohol, which is unfortunate. A beer or sake would have been great to pair with some of the sushi and could round out the meal a bit more, but that is not an option here. Arrive on time. Even a few minutes late can spoil the meal because of how the omakase is served. You MUST have reservations, they do not do walkins and the reservations must be done online. To the chefs credit I called to see if there was a waitlist (there isn't) but when someone cancelled he called me back and send to make the reservation right now online and I'd get a seat.
Lastly, while some of the pieces were truly terrific (the Japanese Uni stands out) other pieces could have used either some more care or maybe not brought out. Some sushi is best fresh others can use some care and treatment to bring out their flavor (as is traditional with edomae style) and I feel that some of the pieces just didn't quite have that care or elevation that made everything that higher level. With a good traditional omakase every piece needs to be an adventure since you're focusing piece by piece and this is where Maumi did fall short on some pieces. Overall, the food was good, great even, but it fell shy of perfect.
