A great place to visit if you are willing to pay over $300 for a quality dining experience. The staff was extremely friendly and the portions full of flavor and reflecting the skill and quality of ingredients. Décor was not an eyesore and seating was very comfortable. The overall meal was very satisfying

Yes, it was the most expensive meal I’ve ever eaten! But you know it will be going into it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience (Sure if I had unlimited amounts of money I would come back). The food taste amazing and so much preparation went into each dish. If sushi is one of your favorite foods then you definitely have to try and plan a trip to Urasawa.

I’ve been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world, including several in Japan, and I know Japanese cuisine very well — at least as a dedicated aficionado, if not a chef. But as many Japanese restaurants that I’ve been to, I was still so amazed and impressed by Chef Urasawa-san. The variety, creativity and beautiful simplicity of his offerings, including his nigiri, was just wonderful.

If you love sushi and want an amazing experience that you will remember forever, this is the place to go. This really is the end all be all of any meal, period. It is the reason why I want to be rich. So that I could eat here once a month for the rest of my life. My only complaint was that I felt like it was so much amazingness packed in to one night and I wished I could break it up into four different meals and go for an hour a night for four nights so I could draw out the savoring of every melt-in-your-mouth piece. It was incredible fish and service but just so much food, and i can eat a lot. I will be back, though, for another special occasion soon. I think the bill was around $700 for 2 of us, with a bottle of sake. Every morsel of fresh fish was delightful.

The chef is very arrogant and rude. He doesn’t even answer some of the customer questions. He tends to be really nice towards rich customers though. The ingredients are amazing but the cooking is no more than good. Not really worth the price. Bad experience, will never come back again.

FOOD/EXPERIENCE Went here with a friend of mine (both of us sushi fanatics). The course that the chef gives you changes from time to time so I’ll just comment on the overall taste and experience: Some of the things he served are not your traditional dishes you get in a good sushi restaurant, and I think, although interesting, many wouldn’t like it. He also gave wagyu sushi which in my opinion is a waste. Having said that he served some of the best Toro I’ve had (the tuna was from Spain). PRICE We had 2 beers each and ended up paying around 1100 total, so 550 each.

This place is one of the greatest hustles in the fine dining world that I’ve come across. I’m not going to go easy on it because it was a $500/pp meal. First of all, these people were incredibly rude. The fish was bland, the rice poorly vinegared and the wasabi barely noticeable. The chef is incredibly slow, overworks each piece in his hand, and doesn’t even cut most of the fish himself. If you like extremely bland omakase that should cost one fifth of what this costs, then this is the place for you.

If you’re on a budget don’t go here. If you’re looking for a California roll don’t go here. If you’re not a full-on foodie who likes trying something different and isn’t afraid to pay for it don’t go here. With that being said you got to go to here a minimum one time in your life. The presentation is amazing, if you take a sip out of your water glass somebody feels it, and let’s not forget about the food! OMG the food! By the way did I mention the food?!? I can’t describe it so you got to just try it:-)

Mixed feelings. Many of the dishes were creative with excellent ingredients. Sushi was the major flaw as many fell apart when picked up. This shouldn’t happen. At one point, Hiro tells a diner to stop talking to him because it’s difficult to make sushi. We compare Urasawa to a girl that you really want to like: She’s gorgeous, with great credentials and athletic but once she opens her mouth you are shocked and thus turned off.

The student has become the master. Urasawa is the best sushi I’ve had in the US, hands down (and definitely better than Masa in New York). Make reservations beforehand, be prepared for a pricey bill, and just leave your palate in the hands of the chef.
