Ishi Omakase & Premium Sake

“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming back.”

“One of the best omakase spots in Brooklyn! Very delicious, high quality sushi all packing with flavor. I booked a reservation at the bar with my gf. The sushi chef was very friendly and talkative. He answered all my questions and made sure we enjoyed the experience and food. All the servers were highly attentive and friendly. Would come back again for sure!”

“This is by far the best sushi restaurant we have been to, and I would dare say it’s better than some Michelin star places. Not only is each course extremely unique and full of flavor, from sea urchin, to Wagyu, the service is extremely attentive. The chef that was serving us has been preparing sushi for 30 years and it shows. We were so delighted by our experience - it was truly a huge highlight for us. Skip the hype restaurants and try Ishi instead. We will be back.”

“Having experienced omakase in Japan, Hong Kong and NYC, I would rate Ishi Omakase as a true gem of premium omakase. Tucked away in Park Slope, Brooklyn, they offers an 18-course omakase for $125, including 2 appetizers, 12 nigiri, 1 handroll, miso soup, 2 desserts. From the fresh ingredients to the thoughtful flavor pairings, the perfectly timed pacing, and the attentive service, every detail was so intentional. Our server was very knowledgeable, explaining every course and the ingredients used. The tables around us were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries--a clear sign that this is a great spot for special occasions, and rightfully so. Their menu highlighted seasonal ingredients, starting with firefly squid as a starter. The miso black cod was one of my favorite of the night - incredibly creamy and rich in umami. To our surprise, we were even treated to a complimentary EXTRA course--Matcha Soba with Snow Crab, Ikura and Black Truffle. The 12-piece nigiri selection featured crowd-pleasers like toro with caviar and scallop, but the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu truly stole the show. Our chef even brought out the wagyu certification. My second favorite was the Hokkaido Uni Toro Ikura--a heavenly bite. The uni literally melted in my mouth, while the ikura burst with sweet brininess, balanced by the buttery toro. Instead of using salmon, they opted for Artic Char with Truffle for a more delicate flavor. The Sea Eel was seasoned in the most minimalist way, allowing the clean, natural taste of the fish to shine. We ended the meal on a high note with two delicate desserts. The Tamago Egg Omelette had a sponge cake-like fluffy and bouncy texture, while the Kanmi Sweet konjac jelly was a refreshing, subtly sweet finish that wrapped up the night.”

“We visited Ishi Omakase Sushi & Premium Sake yesterday and overall had a good experience. The service was attentive and accommodating. We opted for table seating instead of the counter to make things easier with our child. We chose the $105 omakase option and added the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu & Truffle. While the presentation was elegant, the Wagyu & Truffle was a bit disappointing, it fell apart as soon as I tried to eat it, which took away from the texture and enjoyment. The rest of the meal was okay, not mind-blowing, but solid. The ambiance was calm and refined, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout.”
