Sushi Teru is specialized in Omakase and practices the traditional style of sushi known as Edomae, which is named after Edo, today known as Tokyo. The Edomae sushi style involves using the aging process to preserve the fish, develop umami flavors and create a more tender and creamy texture. A variety of methods are employed, including marinating in soy sauce, shimmering in broth, and curing in salt or kombu sea kelp-from a few hours to several days. Today, when the fish arrives from Japan, Chef Kou examines it and decides the best Edomae technique to use.

“I’ve never had sushi this incredible in my entire life. My 3 friends and I literally chose this place on a whim and had no idea what we were walking into. None of us had ever had an omakase experience before and Sushi Teru did not disappoint. The fish was fresh, the service was incredible and honestly, the price for what you get is completely understandable. Each course was better than the last and they even show you photos of the fish you are eating and describe everting to you. I will 100% be back here every time I come to NYC.”

“Our hidden gem omakase spot in the city. Chef brings true Edomae tradition to the counter, with seasonal ingredients and perfectly paced courses that feel both refined and generous. Each visit is consistent yet refreshing — always something new, always beautifully done. The chef’s warmth and attention to detail make it a joy every time. A place we will return to again and again:)”

“Amazing omakase experience with quite a few pieces I never had before. All of the sushi was perfectly fresh and a pleasure to taste. The appetizers are large portions and made the dining experience a unique one. Prices are normal for a high end omakase. Even dessert was well executed.”

“Wow. Such an incredible meal — we’ve been to probably more than 20 Omakases last year and are SO impressed by the quality and level of service. First, the chef really cares about educating and introducing you to new types of fish. The waitresses had an iPad they use to show you photos of the fish you’re eating which I loved! We had white shrimp here (the first time in NYC) and it was SO good. The restaurant is also very peaceful and the sake selection is fantastic. And omg there was this fish soup at the beginning which just hit the spot. Not overly fishy, but just perfectly balanced. I would go back just for that soup.”
