Gee, when I saw this post I thought, this is right up my alley: in my
general area, calling for Omakase. Then I saw you actually frequent
Wasabi. We could be neighbors!

Sorry I don't have a suggestion for you. Wasabi is excellent as is
Yoshino (across the street). Up the street, as I assume you know, we
have Osaka Kappo, Honda-Ya and Fish-Shin. Up a bit further we have
Uoko. You're in the center of the universe already!

In Cardiff I'd go have some tacos by the sea!

If you're not stridently Republican (I understand: we live in OC and it
can temper every breath one takes), we should get together for a bite.
We're big fans of such food (and many other cuisines), and are always
in pursuit...
