Third-generation sushi chef Kunihide “Nakaji” Nakajima brings his legacy to the Bowery with his debut namesake restaurant. The dual-concept space – tucked away in the Canal Arcade – features authentic Edomae-style sushi omakase at the Chef's Counter and craft cocktails at Bar at Nakaji. Each night, the chef serves his signature omakase to an exclusive set of diners with only ten bar seats.
“Such an amazing dinner! Drink too much and forgot to take the cookies!”
“My new favorite omakase in the city. Beats my long time favorites Icca and Sushi Noz. The chef brings truly unique pieces and everything was phenomenal. I never take photos of my food but the appetizers were so beautiful I snapped some pictures for my own ceramic collection inspo. Can’t wait to go back.”
“Wow, what an incredible sushi counter experience. My girlfriend and I, who have been fortunate enough to have experienced other great omakases, both consider this the best sushi experience we’ve had. The service was impeccable and responsive. The chef was very attentive to both his craft and his guests. While everything we tried was in the category of “best we’ve ever had”- the purple sea urchin for me was a huge favorite, while my girlfriend loved the classic toro nigiri. Truly a 10/10 experience, could not recommend more highly.”
“This place offers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step in, the friendly chef and his attentive staff make you feel right at home. Their warm hospitality sets the tone for the evening, ensuring everyone feels special. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch. Especially the various shellfish. Every dish showcases the freshness and vibrant flavors of the season. The decor is tastefully done, with a special emphasis on the stunning flower arrangements. A specialist visits regularly to refresh them in creative ways, making each visit slightly different and adding a unique touch to the ambiance.”
“Omakase with Chef Nakajima was incredible! The hairy crab and uni were highlights but every piece was perfect and delicious! Service was outstanding. The cocktails were excellent as well. Will definitely need to go back again!”
