Definitely one of the coolest dining experiences I've had in MKE! It provided a unique and delicious tasting menu that was a truly a one of a kind experience. It was so awesome watching the chefs skillfully make each course right in front of us. There were only 12 or so people for the dinner service, which made the experience feel intimate and gave us a chance to interact with the chefs throughout the night. Everyone was so nice and excited to share the experience with us! Here is everything we had: - Chawanmushi, Japanese egg custard - Shiromi, mixed white fish - Hirame, 7-day dry aged Japanese flounder - Madai, 7-day dry aged red soa bream - Hamachi, yellowtail - Botton ebi, spotted prawn - Zuke sake, king salmon marinade - Akami, lean bluefin tuna - Toro, 10-day aged fatty tuna with truffle - Hotate, hokkaido scallop - Misoyaki, black cod - Wagyu Japanese beef - Bafun uni, Japanese sea urchin - Yuzu ice cream We also had some delicious drinks including espresso martinis and other assorted cocktails. Such a fun experience from start to finish! read more

This was my second time getting to experience 1033 Omakase and let me tell ya, it DELIVERED what an awesome spot for a special occasion. I love the exclusive feel, the unassuming location and not being able to see in from the outside adds to the allure. We arrived 10 minutes ahead of our reservation and they promptly sat us at a small bar and offered us a drink while we waited. I am not a sake drinker, but it feels like a crime to not have one here! The waitress was very informative and let me sample a few - you have to try the unfiltered ones! They are a lot fruitier and smoother than you'd think. Our reservation was for 6:45, but we were sat to begin just after 7 (I think that's intentional to ensure everyone is present when they are actually ready to flip and begin service again). It's a well-oiled machine with how smoothly they flip each 10-person group through the evening. Once the chefs get started (there's two, one per 5 guests), it's so neat to watch them work and create each piece or dish for you. I honestly can't even go into detail about each course of the 14-course experience, it's so intricate and an explosion of flavors and textures, you simply have to experience it for yourself :). What I will say is it's well worth the cost and top-notch food. We will look forward to going back again some day! read more

- great food, great ambiance, great service - reservation only! follow their IG for drops! - would love to come back I've been following along their journey for a while and finally had the opportunity to visit! This intimate experience was full of unique foods with amazing flavors, various textures, and beautiful presentations. The staff was very kind and personable with each guest, I felt very welcomed by Cherry, and appreciated the individual presentation from the chefs so each guest felt involved and present. While I'd love to go into each item like a usual review, my word count is limited! So instead, I'll just mention that my favorite courses from the night were the Kaki and the Sunomono. Both were incredibly refreshing and truly so flavorful that I can't even think of anything to compare it to. My lovely date's favorites from the night were the Shiromi and Hamachi. She really loved the variation in including the Shiromi with the crunchy base and the mix of fresh fish on top, so good! The Hamachi is a classic love for us, so of course it was a top contender, but the torching added some extra oomph that made it the king of all hamachis we've had This was an awesome experience that I cannot recommend enough! I am looking forward to our next visit and just wish they were easier to snag, but the competition makes it all the more worth it! read more

This spot is a must!! The 3 month wait for your reservation is worth it, I promise. It's an amazing experience! The chef flies fish in from Japan every week. You sit at the bar get to watch them prepare everything in front of you. The inside is small but so cozy. The drinks are so good!! Would highly highly recommend the Japanese cold noodle. It's incredible. Also you have to try some sake. Now this meal is not going to have you feeling stuffed by the end, so you may want to consider some apps prior, but like I said, it's an experience and it is worth it!! read more

Worth the wait! I waited months for this reservation to come around and had such a wonderful evening at 1033 Omakase. My whole group loved every bite of food, and the ambiance made the whole experience extra luxurious. While the chefs set the menu, you must try the Japanese Cold Noodle Cocktail! We also enjoyed their versions of an espresso martini and whiskey sour. The staff was so sweet and even surprised my friend with a birthday card. I'd love to go back for a special night out! read more

Like many others, we were so excited to finally get to try 1033 omakase and the experience was definitely worth the wait! Our reservation was at 5 pm and we got there a bit early, which I recommend! You can grab a cocktail while you wait for the chefs to be ready for you to be seated. Each course was absolutely delicious and unique, and the servers were beyond kind, attentive, and helpful. Our server recommended the Japanese cold noodle cocktail and it was so tasty and refreshing. I definitely recommend it!! I really appreciated how every detail of the experience was clearly well thought out and planned for. The space is very unique and I especially loved the 90s-2000s music. read more

Had been dying to check out 1033 Omakase as soon as I heard about it! Finally got in this June and it lived up to and surpassed expectations! The cocktails were delightful and unique, the fish was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the music was jamming! Loved being able to watch the chefs prepare each course in the open counter style seating! Chef Ray answered all of our crazy questions and was a joy to dine with! Absolutely loved this experience and already booked another reservation for September! Can't wait! read more

The ambiance of 1033 is incredible, the small dining space and intimate setting is what makes this so special. The chefs do an amazing job at explaining each dish and engaging the guests. You can tell the food is extremely high quality. I loved lots of the dishes but was bummed by how many (probably over half) included wasabi. Just personally not a big wasabi fan and it's such an overwhelming flavor that it ruined about half the dishes for me, Overall, definitely a fun spot to try! I don't see myself coming back and spending $150 again but was worth doing at least once! read more

One of my favorite dining experiences I've ever had! This place is a hot commodity. When the reservations come out (~2 months in advance), they go quickly!! You can also sign up to notify you if someone cancels which we luckily were able to get. And on my birthday! It's a very small place with ~10 people per reservation slot which makes for an intimate experience. All the seats surround the chef making each plate which was a fun experience to watch, and then explains each dish as he serves it. Every day except Tuesdays is a 14 course meal, on Tuesday is a 10 course meal. Every dish was carefully and thoughtfully created with an incredible palate. He said they change the menu often so even if you were to dine again, the menu changes seasonally or based on whats available. The drinks were also incredible including unique drinks such as the Japanese Noodle. Highly highly recommend this place!! read more

While it was very hard to get a reservation, 1033 was worth the wait! The price will be the only thing that holds us back from coming regularly, but the experience is definitely worth doing at least once. The chef was very knowledgeable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The sushi itself was amazing, our favorites were the fatty tuna and the black cod. The vibe inside is perfect for omakase! read more

"The art of dining" shown brightly on the wall in color change leds and no statement could have been a truer representation of the experience I had last night. Dining experiences don't often leave me speechless but the hospitality and artsy on display at 1033 Omakase left me gasping for words. First of all, plan far in advance of your desired date. Reservations open up early and fill up quickly. I was lucky enough that my gf is a planner and arranged this so closely to my bday. We got there a little early and were greeted by the friendly host. We waited as they reset the intimate space for our seating. We were shown our seats and what followed was 14 exquisite examples of sushi. Incredible ingredients were blended with precision technique to create a warm reverential dining experience. The chef watched as the patrons enjoyed his creations, confident he utilized the perfect ratios of the finest ingredients. Fish so tender it's as if it was butter melting in your mouth. Caviar, urchin, wagyu and black truffles all followed, either taking the leading role or in support of something more magical. I'm not going to attached a bunch of pictures because you should go in with an open mind. Just expect to be awed and inspired by what food and experiences can be. I will be back in the future and if you can't get in, know it was me who beat you to the reservation sign up this lucky day. read more

I'm increasingly concerned that the reservation system at 1033 Omakase is being gamed. This is the second month in a row that I waited patiently for reservations to open, only to see availability disappear immediately. Either automated software is being used to grab all of the reservations, or 1033 Omakase is intentionally closing off availability as soon as it opens. Either way, the experience is extremely frustrating and demoralizing for guests who are trying to book fairly. I hope 1033 Omakase takes this seriously and addresses the issue, because the current process creates a very poor impression and is damaging to the restaurant's reputation. read more

I'm not normally a huge fan of fish or sushi, but I have to say that everything was SO good at 1033 Omakase. It's hard to get a reservation here, but stay on top of it if you want to come, it was very worth it. The restaurant seats 10 people for the tasting menu. We had 14 courses which included 1 salad, several tuna, salmon, black cod, sea urchin, jack, wagyu, etc (1 piece per course). Everything was fantastic! The black cod was one of my favorite things I've ever eaten. We loved the intimate experience, we loved the food and drinks and I would love to come back again for a new experience. read more

Incredible experience at my first visit to 1033 Omakase. They served the Classic tasting menu last night with 10 courses. Each course is bite-sized, but you could take 2 small bites, I just think that gets tricky as it could come apart, so just eat as one bite, but savor it. Their typical tasting menu, served most nights, is their 14 course Supreme tasting menu. I'm doing that on my next visit. The space is beautiful, very upscale and classy! It seats 10 people at the Omakase bar, which explains the long waits to get a reservation, but there are seats along the walls where guests can lounge with a drink while they wait to be seated. It was a fun experience to watch the chef prepare each course, and each chef prepared 5 servings, for the 5 guests at their half of the bar. I ordered a sake flight, with recommendations from Alex. The Rising Dragon and Soul of Sensei were my favorite of the three in my flight, but the Blue Hue grew on me after I sipped following a bite of the dishes. All three ended up pairing well with the courses. Service from Alex and Rose was excellent, and I highly recommend the experience. I think the Classic menu is ideal for smaller to average appetites. I suggest the Supreme tasting for larger appetites. read more

1033 is the best seat in town without question! It's probably the closest thing (aside from Odd Duck and Lupi Iris) that I would consider Michelin level. The vibe was right! The music hit!

Best sushi experience in Milwaukee. I'd say it's about time we had omakase however with all my travels most cities that have a place are few and far between. If you want to go - plan ahead. I made my reservations 2-3 months in advanced. They only seat 10 people per seating time. The fish selection was fantastic. The flavors are seasonal. If you get a chance to go don't miss the opportunity. read more

10/10 Wow truly worth the experience! We've been wanting to try this new walkers point gem since they first opened but it's so hard to get a reservation. We were fortunate enough to get a bump on resy with Amex. I will say the service started from before you even sit down as they serve you anything you would like as you wait to drink. We then were welcomed by the chef and walked through the curated menu and courses one by one. I will say this was a true culinary experience that involved a ton of options and worth a try! read more

1033 omakase was such a wonderful experience. We went a few weeks back and had such a great time. I will say upfront the price point is pretty hefty but the experience, food, and drinks were on point. The sushi was very fresh and extremely well crafted right in front of you. Both chefs and staff create a really fun and upbeat ambiance that encourages conversation throughout the meal. The serving staff is also very attentive to your needs throughout the night. Although it was almost impossible to get a reservation, it was well worth the wait. read more

After months of trying to get a reservation thru Resy, we finally ate here last night. Food was good, but definitely not worth the money. Very over-hyped. Thought there would be more of a culinary,artistic experience other than watching 2 sushi chef's make and serve pieces of sushi. One however was a nice presentation. We could understand what was being given to us, however at the end we did get a list of the " fish", nothing about preparation.And please, older crowds do not want to listen to rap music during dinner. Surely you could find something for pleasing while eating$$$ sushi. read more

By far the best sushi I have had in Milwaukee. I would maybe snack before if you are starving, because even though there are 14 courses, they are 1 to 2 bites each for the most part. Very delicious, and fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming and personable, and I adored the music. I agree with the points. Someone else made about it being hard to hear the chefs describe what is in each course, and I think I would rather have more written on the menu than sacrifice the vibe of 90s hip-hop and rap. I also agree that the set up is not ideal, with they're not being a vestibule but even I am extremely cold night with temperatures and negative digits, a person coming in didn't send a wave of cold area, so it works. read more

I've had my reservation booked since late February. I had a booking for 1 person. 1033 Omakase was the only way I wanted to celebrate graduating medical school. AMBIANCE: When you walk in, you'll find a low lit room with 10 chairs surrounding the chef's station. Everything is already set for you. The room is filled with the sound of 90s Hip Hop and R&B music. Surprisingly, it fits the food well. FOOD: Everything was AMAZING. Very fresh ingredients and the flavor profile is so unique for each piece. SERVICE: The service is amazing. My cup was never out of water. And, the drink orders come out quickly too. 10/10 worth the wait!! read more

1033 Omakase was my first omakase experience--and it completely redefined what a meal could be. Each course was a miniature masterpiece, from the melt-in-your-mouth fatty toro to the A5 wagyu that was almost too perfect to eat. Scallop paired with shiitake, prawn kissed with lime, tuna tartare topped with caviar and edible glitter--it was a parade of flavor and texture that left me craving every bite long after the final course. The setting is intimate, just ten seats, allowing you to watch the chef prepare each dish with the kind of precision and passion that feels almost meditative. The hostess was equally memorable--gracious, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We opted for sake instead of cocktails this time, but I'm already plotting my return. Getting a reservation is notoriously tough, but trust me: it's worth every effort. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've had since being back in the Milwaukee area. So excited to have this sort of option in the dining scene. FOOD: Sushi. Set menu. Ours was 14 pieces (including the ice cream at the finish). Each one was outstanding. Really good fish, but what stood out the most was the flavors. Different, creative, balanced. It's clear Chef Ray knows what he's doing and has been so thoughtful with what he's putting together. Pacing was good. Drinks were creative and delicious. Favorites: Egg custard (so smooth), black cod (hearty, umami), yellowtail (bright and fresh). ENVIRONMENT: Small and intimate. Seats only around the sushi counter, perfect so you can see each dish prepared. Seating around the walls to provide waiting areas between seating. Coat hooks on the walls - loved this as it kept costs away from crowding any seating during dinner. 90s hip hop playing all night (great nostalgia). SERVICE: Friendly and attentive. With such a small setting and dishes constantly changing, their two person staff kept on top of everything so efficiently! Highly recommend! And definitely will be back. read more

Hot Damn!!! They checked all the boxes and more. Such a memorable experience. Thank you so much for the coasters Chef. I've never had flavours like I did tonight. 10 out of 10. Special thank you to the staff. You made us feel welcome from the time we walked in to the time we left. And a side note the one star reviews on here are insane. Pretty clear that these clowns had no idea what they were going to. If it is your first time at an Omakase do five minutes of research before you go. This isn't a place for "I love California rolls, but I don't like nigiri" people. This is traditional edomae-style sushi so you're gonna have to pay to play as well. The fish is not Sysco quality fish, and they don't play grunge music. They had a killer 90s hip-hop playlist that brought me back to my teen years and made the experience that much more memorable. If you don't feel comfortable sitting at a counter and watching your food be prepared by a Jedi master then this might not be the correct choice for you. Also you don't get a small plate of soy sauce and wasabi so if you're one that likes to make wasabi soup by mixing everything and then top it w ginger you won't be able to do that here either. This place is chef driven and tasting style so be prepared for things you never tried. read more

To start off, the only reason it's not five stars is that we couldn't order more sushi a la carte, after the omakase. It's not only great it's fun. The chef, Ray, prepares the plates beautifully and creatively without overdoing it, maybe a little, but that's the fun part. Easily some of the best sushi I've ever had in Milwaukee, fresh, interesting, unique. We will be eating here many times to come, maybe hopefully lunch someday read more

Let me start by saying I am not a sushi snob. I LOVE sushi and I've eaten at many different places, including in Japan. Omekase is expensive- you're paying for the quality of the food, but also the experience. 1033 is nice, but the vibe is just a bit off. The space itself doesn't lend itself to a cozy, high-end experience. The bathroom is out in the hall and it feels like the hallway bathroom in an office building. The music is great- love that part- but you can't hear what the chef is saying when he's describing your food. The front door leads to a busy street and there's a curtain that blocks the door when people open it, but this set up made the place seem kinda cheap/cheesy. No "fancy" restaurant in a larger city would have this work-around. The food was good, but nothing that blew my mind and would make me come back. In my opinion, this is far overpriced for what you are getting. read more
