ITO NYC

“We recently moved to the neighborhood and have been searching for an authentic and relatively well priced omakase. We were so happy that we had an exceptional omakase experience at Ito. The fish was impeccably fresh, the service was professional yet warm, and the atmosphere and music struck the perfect balance between lively and refined. It’s almost paradoxical to find a restaurant that seamlessly blends authenticity with elevated creativity, yet Chef Masa Ito masters both effortlessly. A special mention must go to James and Shane who bring a genuine passion for hospitality and an unwavering commitment to a truly memorable dining experience. Excited to go back soon!”

“Terrific dining experience at ITO. This restaurant is one of the finest omakase dining in NYC. It's my second time eating here, and the quality of food and service remained very high. Fresh and delicious food, masterfully prepared by our chef. Each dish was like an art both visually and taste wise. A vast selection of fresh ingredients. Service was top-notch, alway attentive and cordial. The setting was also very pleasant, sinmple, elegant and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Dinner at ITO was an amazing experience. The omakase was outstanding—fresh, high-quality sushi with incredible flavor in every bite, and the fish was truly exceptional. They also offer a great variety of sake, and the tea is so good as well. The atmosphere is intimate, and I loved being so close to the chefs, they explained each dish in detail, which made the experience even more special. The service was attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant. Unforgettable experience.”

“Very delicious meal with quality fish. The cod was soft and paired nicely with the miso. The standouts for me were the truffle mushroom soup which was just nice on a cold day and the mushroom tasted so fresh. The seared otoro had a smokey flavor to it and melted in my mouth. The truffle Wagyu was definitely my favorite because what’s not to love?? Truffle was strong and freshly shaved. Wagyu torched to the perfect fatty level. The dessert was very lovely liked the buttery cream on top with the crunchy popcorn and miso base. The counter does get quite crowded and seats more than the typical amount of people at an omakase”

“One of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had! I came in with very high expectations after dining at Ito in Las Vegas at the Fontainebleau Hotel—which was phenomenal—and I was excited to see they had a location in NYC. I’m happy to say this experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, attentive, and prompt. We had the honor of meeting Chef Kevin, who was incredibly gracious and truly an artist in his craft. Every course showcased the highest quality ingredients, with a burst of flavor in every bite. From the appetizers to dessert, each dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted. I especially loved that we were given the option to add additional pieces at the end of the course, and that Chef Kevin offered this before dessert—it was a thoughtful touch that elevated the entire experience. The drink menu is also very well curated, with an excellent selection of sake and other alcoholic beverages to complement the meal. This is absolutely a place I will continue to visit every time I’m in town. A must-try for any omakase lover in NYC.”
