AI-generated summary
Kaiseki with two Michelin stars, and the common advice is to go at lunch. The set menu runs around $145, the room is a small counter, and reservations are easy to get. The cooking is understated and precise. Some people love that. Others call it bland and not worth the money.

“A phenomenal dish! Their signature house-made soba noodles along with the dark, umami, slightly acidic, and very flavorful cold broth and slices of wagyu tasted amazing together.”

“Dishes all had clean and balanced flavors, and reminded me of some of the pristinely executed food I had when I was in Kyoto.”

“When I went he had duck with persimmons, truffle, and black pepper and it was amazing. The paring of the duck with persimmons worked so well and was unique me.”

“Went to Odo and did the wine pairing and while the entire meal and service were fantastic, I can’t shake the feeling that 2 stars and above aren’t worth it anymore.”

“Odo feels safe, clean, and consistent. If they were to put out risky dishes, it’ll be super contained/restrained. Not a bad thing imo!!!”
