"Each piece was a testament to the chef's dedication to quality and freshness."
"One of the better quality omakase options at the ~$100 price point."
"The chefs create a unique omakase course ranging from classics like uni and river trout to special pieces with wagyu and fois gras."
"The price was right, the food was excellent, and the fish was very fresh."
"Very interesting combination such as scallop with uni and truffle foam."
"Not a traditional sushi omakase but the combination of the ingredients are insanely good!"
"The fish was out of this world."
Cons:
"The first six pieces of nigiri tastes very bland."
"The rest were so over seasoned it was obvious it was hiding low quality cuts."
"The food was at best average."
"The sushi was very small and very expensive."
"But the tomatoes piece and another few experimental pieces were masking bad sushi."
"The fish was not as fresh as previously, the slices were smaller, and the sushi rice was subpar."
"Fish taste is poor and the nigiri is not build proper and on top there is stuff which I have never experienced before in the years I lived in japan."
Service
Pros:
"Best sushi bar in New York. Friendly approachable chefs."
"Great intimate atmosphere with the most attentive wait staff."
"Carlos is a phenomenal host whose dedication to great service elevates an already excellent meal."
"The friendly and knowledgeable servers enhanced the overall experience, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of my visit was nothing short of exceptional."
"The staff is not only attentive but also incredibly accommodating, making sure every need is met with a smile."
"Waitress was nice and friendly, happy to answer all of our questions."
"Our server was kind and patient as he explained the menu and offered recommendations."
Cons:
"The staff made me wait 20 minutes to pick up my order."
"It took several attempts just to get their attention to give us water."
"The service was absolutely terrible."
"And still came out to $200+ for 2 people. Definitely wouldn't recommend."
"The host was exceptionally short to the guests and we were sitting close to the back and had to witness him berating the sushi chef over the sharing of tips."
"Food was delayed by 3 hours. They also refused to accept phone calls we made to check on it which made us think they turned it off."
"Terrible experience, I order my food on Uber Eat. It was one and half hours late and when I tried to call them no one answered the phone."
Value
Pros:
"One of the best ‘value’ omakases in the city for sure."
"Fantastic omakase at a very reasonable price."
"The variety of fish was fantastic and the quality was great."
"Their omakase is the best quality for value in NYC."
"Their sushi Omakase is only $98 and features 15 pieces and a hand roll."
"Great value for money! We got the 16 pieces for $98 (15 pieces nigiri and 1 hand roll) and they were so yummy!"
"All at a fairly reasonable price for the quality and presentation."
Cons:
"Arrived at 8:50pm asked for a table. We were declined because we didn’t have a reservation even though on open table there was a spot open for 9pm."
"The food...is overpriced for the low quality you get."
"Price was terrible too for 12 pieces of sushi $65!!"
"The portion of the omakase is too small for the price."
"Definitely not the quality you expect for 90 a person. Sushi was very mediocre, out of 10 pieces there was only one that was good."
"Everything here was incredibly pricey and didn't seem worth it."
"The quality of the fish was normal and VERY expensive."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"It's more of an experience."
"The intimate setting of the restaurant allowed us to enjoy the evening exclusively, which added to the charm of the occasion."
"The restaurant was also a very relaxed vibe, a chill spot for a lovely dinner that wasn't crowded or loud from people or music."
"Sitting at the bar provided a really fun experience."
"I 100% Recommend coming for the food and the atmosphere."
"We loved it here! Amazing service, cozy ambiance and the sushi (both a la carte and omakase) were so good."
"The atmosphere is scenic and quite friendly."
Cons:
"Did the 15 piece omakase. Freezing inside (left the restaurant and the temperature outside felt exactly the same as it was inside), pacing was super slow as the chef had to make takeout and table service orders in between pieces, food was ok."
"Half of the restaurant looked dirty where the tables were and where we sat looked like it had never been cleaned."
"Revised rating from 5 to 4 to reflect new 'party atmosphere' which is not what I want from a $200 sushi joint."
"The place is small and simple, that type that you would never go if you are a tourist, which I actually love."
"Pacing felt slow for what it is (2-hours for a 15-piece sushi + hand roll)."
"It also has increasingly become more of a neighborhood place and tending to the tables can occupy the chefs."
"That is some American sushi mix which is presented here and may be American who don’t travel think this is kind of original but honestly it isn’t."
