The Top 24 Sushi Near Kwality Ice Cream
-
Rank 1. Hidden Omakase
Sushi
Tucked behind a strip mall in a dark, 18-seat room that takes the omakase format and runs somewhere unexpected with it. The chef trained in classic Japanese technique but applies his own logic to it, aging fish in-house and leaning into premium cuts with real showmanship. The team talks you through every course, which either sounds annoying or exactly right depending on your mood. BYOB, so plan accordingly.

Rank 12. Neo
Sushi
An omakase counter tucked inside a couture clothing store in Montrose, which tells you everything and nothing about what to expect. A handful of seats, chefs who take the fish seriously (much of it flown in from Japan and dry-aged in back), and a style that respects tradition without being enslaved to it. The crowd skews fashion-forward for obvious reasons. Check if they've reopened before you make plans.
