OMAKASE
Kadence is one of those places where the food is only half the story. This Kadence-starred chef’s counter is rooted in traditional Japanese omakase, but it’s guided by a Filipino chef whose worldview quietly shapes the experience. You’ll get the expected parade of pristine seafood flown in weekly—yes, even peculiar bites like cod semen—but if we’re being honest, the menu itself isn’t wildly different from other top omakases in town. What is different is the chef: his personality, his humor, his humility, and his approach to life bleed into every course. Kadence isn’t trying to reinvent omakase—it’s reminding you that the soul behind the counter is what truly makes a meal memorable.
