LA | OmGino | Why Isn’t the Truffle Uni Pasta the Cover Star? 🍝✨

Because everything else here is just as generous! From the stunning seasonal crab—sweet and perfectly timed 🦀—to a full night of silver-skinned fish without a hint of blood or acidity, even non-fish lovers would be impressed. 😌💫 Interestingly, OmGino isn’t a traditional omakase spot. The chef is Korean, and the flavor progression feels unconventional—I was surprised when the truffle and sea urchin pasta arrived before the sushi! Thankfully, a tangy cherry tomato course helped cleanse the palate (though it was boldly seasoned itself). 🍅 The chawanmushi was another favorite, rich with lobster bisque flavors—almost like a taste of home. 🥣🦞 Overall, it’s a solid experience, especially if you’re looking for something different. But for regular omakase enthusiasts, it might not stand out among other LA spots in the same price range. Still, the abundance of premium ingredients—tuna, uni, crab, truffle—makes it a memorable and visually satisfying meal. 🎉💛 #Foodie #LifeAbroad #LAEats #HiddenGems #JapaneseFusion #Omakase #UniLover #CreativeCuisine #SpecialOccasionDining #TruffleSeason
