Chef Victor at Kintsugi works tirelessly to serve a broad menu that features aged, smoked, pickled, and rare nigiri. The Soho Omakase was well priced at $125 and was a good way to explore the restaurant's offerings and original recipes.The polarizing and opposite reviews on Yelp of Kintsugi made me initially hesitant to visit the restaurant but recommendations from 2 friends who spoke highly of Victor and the quality of his food pushed me to make a reservation. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed getting to know the chef and learning more about his sourcing, technique, style, and aspirations over the course of the evening.I was particularly impressed with the smoked uni, pressed sanma roll, and hojicha ice cream served for dessert. Chef Victor's attention to detail and acute awareness of customer preferences and sensibilities improve the guest experience at the restaurant. The host was also well versed in sakes and made excellent recommendations. I especially enjoyed the Tenryo Koshu aged junmai daigingo that he recommended.As for the rice, I agree that it wasn't my favorite but I would have difficulty explaining why. I noticed that since the chef worked predominantly by himself, he was unable to tend to / replenish the rice as frequently as he might be able to if he had an assistant. Though, the time that Victor spends on slicing in real-time and preparing the courses is time well spent. The nigiri were consistent in temperature and flavor.I noticed comments that diners' experiences can differ based on where they're seated and how they get along with the chef. As I was seated in front of the chef and engaged with him beforehand and throughout the meal, my experience was lively, informative, relaxing, and fun. But I can see how the service might be inconsistent. I recommend the 5pm seating and the $125 menu.Victor-san is a rising star who is working incredibly diligently to improve and impress. I hope in the next few years that he and his restaurant gain more popularity - I would love to see Chef Victor shine as a chef separate from the restaurant too. Follow him on Instagram (@victorsanfk) and watch his stories to see his creations!I think Kintsugi and Ushiwakamaru are comparable on nigiri quality and price. While Ikumi remains my favorite in the mid-range, Kintsugi is a great option.
