This is my all time favorite omakase sushi restaurant across NYC and San Francisco. The owner chef is passionate about his ingredients and creation. He keeps his special rice warm until he’s ready to make each sushi. And flavors explode with delight. The staff are welcoming and friendly. As a bonus, his sushi has magic in bringing together even strangers as friends at the end of the omakase experience.

Dined in New Years Eve. No problem getting a reservation for early evening. Quiet and clean. The food was great. We ordered the nigiri set menu. Very fresh, simply presented. We will definitely come back.

There are bar seat and table seat. Bar seat requires minimum $170 for 16 pieces of omakase. We took table seat. Made reservation just that day morning and still lots of vacancies at dinner time. We got sushi and sashimi combination $80 (served with miso soup) to share. And add something else we’d like to eat – steamed monk fish liver, raw octopus with wasabi leaf, steamed egg custard, squid arms with spicy cod roe, white fish and sea urchin (again!) our combination set includes sea urchin already but the taste is so great that we couldn’t help order extra. Every pieces are fresh and flavorful! Don’t forget to have some desserts as a perfect ending. Love grapefruit jelly. Green tea tiramisu is more like panna cotta, also amazing! A pricy place but a breathtaking journey with artistic freshness. Highly recommend to those Japanese-style fish lover, go experience yourself!

Service was bad: waitress came over every 30 seconds asking if we are ready to order as we just sat down. She didn’t help and was simply annoyed doing her job. Rude.

Really disappointed. Have had many Omakase around the world, but this was too disappointing I had to review. Quality was good, yes. Nothing creative or fancy. Problem was service was bad, food timing is poor, wagyu beef was cold and chewy. Sushi rice falls apart when picking up. A few flies around during our entire dinner time. We kept swatting them away, two times the flies landed on our sushi. Staff didn’t even acknowledge the flies let along make any attempt to do something about it. This was throughout the entire dinner, them just watching my wife and me swatting flies from our plates. Bathroom was gross, rusted doors, gross floors and the handle was held on by a an entire roll of clear masking tape. Hard to understand the positive comments. Not worth the $251 per person is an understatement

I had the omakase at the sushi bar. Everything was really good, but there were details that made the experience less than excellent, especially at this price point. I’m sure others will love this place. Some of the fish were slightly drier than usual and the handroll was dripping soy sauce when I received it. The bar seating is tight, the person next to me too close and I could hear their entire conversation (I wish I couldn’t have).

There were a few pieces that I thought were really delicious (anago, shima aji, seared otoro, black sesame ice cream) but overall I thought it was just okay. There are other places in NYC with much better sushi.

This sushi course was incredible and 1L draft Sapporo made it all the better! So good I forgot to take pictures, always the highest compliment to the chef.

Great food and service. There’s a bit of old rundown feel to the interior but just grab a seat at the sushi bar and you’ll just have a great time. Excellent sake selection, also.
