“What an incredible omakase experience! Every bite was delicious and such a lovely intimate experience with the chef. Highly recommend for a great meal and good company!”
“Great fun/casual omakase. The price-quality-quantity was on point. Thanks a lot for the chef with who we spent a great time and could share some sake :) The only thing I would change is the interior that could be better.”
“The sushi chefs are very nice! Went here for my birthday lunch and was treated very well. The sushi flavor combinations are delicious, and the price is affordable. Would go again. Only thing is, the "Hokkaido milk" ice cream did not taste like Hokkaido milk ice cream - would skip this next time.”
“I was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. The price for quality is certainly a great deal. All of the fish tasted extremely fresh. Each course was unique and had its own spin. Our chef did an excellent job. The waitresses were also very attentive and thorough. My one critique is that if you are sitting in the seats closer to the door, the music can be very loud. It was difficult to understand what our chef was saying most of the time. Nonetheless, I certainly recommend coming here for a great prices Omakase in NYC.”
“The first course was oysters; while their freshness was adequate, they lacked the pure, sweet quality that diners often eagerly seek, instead carrying a faint—though not severe—fishy undertone. The Amberjack offered a delightful texture—both moist and smooth—standing out as one of the most memorable dishes of the entire meal. However, the dishes served during the middle portion of the meal were, on the whole, rather mediocre and conventional, lacking any significant highlights. Several dishes, in particular, revealed some rather obvious flaws. The quality of the salmon itself was mediocre; neither its fat content nor its flavor profile could be described as particularly outstanding. Furthermore, one piece of scallop sushi—as well as another sushi piece—was seasoned in a style resembling "salt and pepper"; however, the salt was applied too heavily, completely overpowering the natural flavors of the ingredients and resulting in an overly salty taste. The shrimp sushi itself was actually quite good, exuding a pleasant, natural sweetness; however, the addition of yuzu zest—which may have been grated too deeply, inadvertently including the bitter white pith—introduced a hint of bitterness that ultimately detracted from the overall dining experience. It might have been better left unadorned. Another factor that negatively impacted the dining experience was the sushi rice itself; the rice mounds were generally packed too loosely, causing them to fall apart with ease when picked up. The service regarding the presentation of the dishes also appeared somewhat casual and careless; on several occasions, the sushi was placed at a distance from the diner, forcing me to lean across the counter to retrieve it. Such lapses in service etiquette constitute a significant demerit within the detail-oriented environment of an "Omakase" dining experience.”
