Himitsu

“Chef Mark Garcia is the best! Unexpectedly, my mom and I were the only ones there, so he was extra attentive and kind. We both really enjoyed every course. We had the 10-piece omakase course. Fish was super fresh, rice was made so well. My favorite piece was the otoro, and my mom's was the seabream. Pictured is the otoro and scallop because I was impressed by the scoring on the scallop. Rice to fish ratio was ON POINT - not much rice, good size piece of fish. Dessert was actually scrumptious - loved the mochi-wafer and the vanilla gelato was delicious. Definitely will come again, I think it's a great option for omakase in Queens. 10-piece omakase is only $65 per person.”

“This hidden omakase spot in Flushing was such a great find. I really love that you can customize your experience and choose the Japanese dishes you want, instead of a fixed menu—it makes the whole meal feel more personal. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, almost like a secret spot tucked away from the city. The chef is super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend to friends if you’re looking for a unique and high-quality omakase in Flushing.”

“If you want quality omakase in the area, you’re going to Himitsu. Our group had Mark (chef Garcia) serve us without going off the menu and every piece was a hit. Food, service, and vibe was well worth the $ spent.”

“Easily one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we’ve been to for omakase. So many places now are too loud or too casual. It’s hidden away in the back of the outer restaurant so there’s immediately a sense of intimacy that many places in the city are lacking. The menu is unique, which is something we’ve been looking for; it’s not the repetitive same pieces as so many locations have. No over-the-top gold flake on caviar on uni on wagyu monster pieces. Each nigiri is simple and beautiful. Special appreciation for the eel, which is buttery soft and melts in the mouth - something I love and have only found at 2 places. Chef Ken and the host Joseph are both phenomenal, warm, and professional. They give plenty of space but are completely open to conversation. Chef Ken is extremely attentive to his work, and Joseph is completely on point when it comes to his service. Overall we were both very happy with our experience here. It’s definitely a hidden gem.”

“My first omakase since I’ve returned from Japan and came to meet my friends. I miss the ocean from here and all the delicateness of the fishes to be enjoyed. Every bite and conversation with the chef and server gave me memories to return to. I’m reminded strongly of the moment I shared drinks with a friend over milt and baby squid and how all the eccentricities you wish to know are worlds away waiting for you to go catch them. The chawanmushi was so warm and inviting. I would have liked more ebi but I was already so full and satiated by the end. Maybe next time I should order more. The hand roll just completed everything for us with how every fish we’ve tried rendered into these few bites. While I don’t remember all the fishes, I’m thankful for the souvenir menu to remember them by. Every omakase has their own charm. This one was exceptionally traditional while catering to all the visual accents of modernity as best it can without sacrificing the experience of what you’re eating. A hallmark of experiencing Japanese cuisine through cleaning your senses. 10/10 would go again in a bigger group.”
