Sushi Saikou

“The best place I've ever eaten at. The service was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and accommodating. We keep kosher, and at first we were very skeptical about the menu options. The lovely hostess told us that they offer a special kosher meal for guests who observe kashrut. We were thrilled and immediately made a reservation for that evening. The experience was truly exceptional. The staff knew exactly what we could and could not eat—sometimes even better than we did. Their knowledge and attention to detail made us feel completely comfortable and welcome. The chef was extremely kind and talented. He prepared each dish like a work of art and took the time to explain every course. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. This restaurant is an absolute must-visit for anyone coming to the city. Outstanding in every way, and the price is more than fair for the level of experience you receive. Highly, highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Sushi Saikou's omakase meal is wonderful. I ate later during the second serving and had the honor of my own chef and his extensive knowledge of their Japan-sourced fish. I learned a ton from him and the staff. At $120 this is omakase heaven. The fish and omakase meal matched .. I'd say exceeded higher priced experiences. I can't wait to return!”

“This was my second omakase experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and every bite was perfect. The chef was warm, kind, and engaging, making the experience not only delicious but also genuinely happy and memorable.”

“Great service from the moment we walked in. We booked this place last minute and are so glad it worked out that way. It was our anniversary dinner, and the dishes were excellent. They offer unique pieces that are different from other omakase experiences we’ve had in the city. We enjoyed every bite. The chef even treated us to an extra dish to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were stuck between two sake options, and our server kindly brought us an extra glass so we could try the one we didn’t choose. It was such a generous and memorable gesture. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this spot to everyone!”

“This was my first time trying omakase in New York, and I went alone — but the experience couldn’t have been better. From the beginning, the staff made sure to ask about any allergies or dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, and the service was incredibly attentive and kind without being overbearing. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully explained. I felt completely taken care of the whole time. Also, I was honestly surprised by how reasonably priced the wine and sake were — definitely not what I expected in NYC. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a welcoming and high-quality omakase experience.”
