About James Parker Sushi & Sake

Past the timber-framed entrance, James Parker delivers serious Japanese dining without the uptight stiff air. Regulars point to the Wednesday 20-course omakase at the eight-seat counter—where chefs handcraft each piece piece-by-piece—and the occasional spectacle of a whole tuna carved live on the floor. Tables sit in quiet, timbered alcoves where floor staff kneel to take sake orders. Slices of otoro nigiri, chilled oysters over ice, and sear-crusted wagyu steak land at an unhurried, comfortable pace.

  • Dedicated Omakase Counter: An intimate 8-seat sushi counter offering up to 20 courses handcrafted individually before diners.
  • Live Tuna Cutting Spectacle: Live whole fish carving demonstrations transformed into fresh sashimi and maguro kaisen don.
  • Attentive Table Hospitality: Staff kneel beside tables in quiet, partitioned dining alcoves to take orders and offer sake recommendations.

  • Intimate 8-Seat Omakase Counter

    An intimate 8-seat counter experience delivering up to 20 courses hand-crafted directly in front of diners with individual seasoning and presentation.

    With this small intimate dining experience that only seats 8ppl, we were in food heaven sitting at the sushi counter with a clear view of the kitchen where our food was prepared and served one item at a time

  • Personalized Milestone Hospitality

    Hospitality tailored to milestones, incorporating thoughtful commemorative details like custom floral table arrangements and sparklers.

    Knowing it was our anniversary the staff arranged flowers at our seating area and added a sparkler to our dessert serving. Little touches like that made it special.

  • Meticulous Culinary Craftsmanship

    Carefully crafted sushi and hot mains prepared with culinary precision, including melt-in-the-mouth wagyu and pristine sashimi.

    Loved the premium sashimi, which was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The wagyu beef was melt in your mouth delicious with the roasted vegetables perfectly cooked.

  • Wagyu steak

    The highlight of the night was definitely the Wagyu steak. The beef was incredibly tender and almost melted in the mouth.

    Floor staff adopt traditional Japanese hospitality by kneeling down beside tables to speak, assist, and take orders in a soft-spoken manner.

    At the exclusive 8-seat sushi counter, the chef handcrafts each course directly before diners, carefully applying seasonings like soy or wasabi while explaining every dish.

Before you head over

Actionable guidance on timing, special menus, and celebrations to help you plan your visit.

  • Pace for an unhurried dining tempo

    Because handcrafted dishes and personalized service involve deliberate preparation, dishes can take up to 30 minutes to arrive. Settle in for an unhurried, multi-course meal.

  • Expect a tasting format at the omakase counter

    If you book the exclusive 8-seat sushi counter omakase, expect a delicate culinary tasting menu with smaller, refined portions rather than a heavy, hearty spread.

  • Notify staff about special celebrations in advance

    When reserving for a milestone birthday or anniversary, mention the celebration beforehand to enjoy thoughtful touches such as floral table accents, sparklers, or team celebrations.
