KYUUBI Omakase

“We were fortunate to find ourselves able to enjoy omakase at the bar when the restaurant was very quiet, so we had the full attention of the team. The omakse was excellent, all the ingredients very fresh and distinctly flavoured, with the sushi chef having studied for 10 years in Japan and worked longer than that here, it was no surprise.”

“Had a good omakase dinner on a saturday night. Had a group of 5 and they were very good to take care of us. Nigiri was on point. Unlimited sake for $18 was also a good deal .”

“Came here for my birthday in the East Village and had a great experience! Chef Ricky and our server Kiki were super warm and welcoming. The omakase fish was great value and high quality, the uni and wagyu was very fresh and they were generous with the caviar. Highly recommend!”

“13 pieces for $69 is good price for the fish they serve but you most certainly will not be full after those 13 pieces. Atmosphere is too old and loud and you get 1 hour to be there. Overall, an okay experience but an omakase experience is certainly a case of you get what you pay for IMO.”

“Overall, we were somewhat satisfied with the meal, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. We went on Valentine’s Day and paid $99 per person for the special menu (compared to their usual $68), so we were hoping for a more elevated experience. The biggest drawback was the pace. It felt like one of the more rushed omakase experiences I’ve had, and not in a smooth or intentional way (all courses served in ~35 mins, with almost no explaining of the dish). Service was fine, but everything moved very quickly, which made it hard to fully enjoy each course. The food itself was good, but not amazing. Some pieces were overly heavy on the wasabi, and there seemed to be inconsistencies in portioning. The sushi rice was slightly overcooked, and a few items like the ikura leaned too sweet for my taste. Small details like that made a difference, especially at this price point. The music also didn’t really match the atmosphere, which added to the overall disconnect. For what we paid, the experience felt underwhelming. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it, and I’m surprised by how high the reviews are given our experience.”
