“ This place was AMAZING. I was recommended to come here by a coworker and I am so glad I did. It wasn't too difficult for me to book a reservation for 1 at the bar just a couple of days before. The ambiance is pretty quiet so it might not be a great place for lengthy discussions unless you're fine with the entire restaurant hearing you. Everything I had was good, but my favorite was the amaebi! I loved it so much that I had to order another round of it. The pricing is very fair and I actually left satisfied, which I can't always say for omakase. I would definitely come back here again and I've also since recommended it to other friends who are in the area. Only negative worth mentioning is the wet towel I received to clean my hands at the beginning of the meal smelled bad, like as if the laundry was left wet for too long. This may have been a one off. I was able to ignore this smell on my hands after a while but some may be sensitive to it. ”

“ A more casual omakase spot, so you can feel more comfortable holding a conversation. Service is warm and friendly. All of our pieces were fresh and had different flavors so you were never bored. Prices were reasonable too, I would definitely come again! ”

“ Made a reservation around 7PM on a weekday and the sushi counter was completely full! There are two sushi chefs and the receptionist was very sweet wishing us a happy anniversary which i noted in our reservation right away :) I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, super cute cat chopstick holders and a table area decorated with fake cherry blossom trees in addtion to the mostly standard layout of a sushi counter. We opted for the premium course which many people in the reviews also recommended and so glad we got it! all pieces of fish were very fresh, rice had great texture and seasoned well, and love the unique garnishments/ dishes all together that makes this place more creative while still letting the fish shine! I wish i got the sake pairing because it was actually quite cheap and the ones we bought on our own were so good. Saika "Yuzushu" - Yujacha! taste exactly like it, you barely taste the alcohol but i know its there. 4/5 Oze x Rose - my new favorite sake. sweet but not too sweet, much less sweet than the yuzushu. very well balanced. very clean! 5/5 our courses came with shima aji, king salmon tomato, lobster in some sort of broth, yellow jack, baby barracuda, oyster uni salmon roe, scallop foie gras, goma saba, akami, chawanmushi, toro, uni caviar cracker, yellowtail in some sort of vinegar broth, fish topped with dehydrated wagyu fat, "birds nest", eel and a very yummy panna cotta to finish off! ”

“ This is an overdue review, buf Chef Bruce set the bar high for all other omakase I've had since then. This was my first omakase experience and every bite was incredible. The attention to detail to every dish was top notch. I was blown away by almost every course. The service was amazing, and I think this is an incredible value. No other omakase experience has yet been able to beat Chef Bruce. Highly recommend and would definitely come back! ”

“ I came here for lunch with a friend and we had an amazing time! The interior of the restaurant is bright, clean, and is all bar seating to enjoy your omakase experience. The chefs were so friendly to talk to and truly made the experience fun. We did the 17 course meal for $128 and loved it. Everything was absolutely phenomenal and I loved how unique some of their garishes were (such as salmon and tomato confit or yellowjack and salsa!). The fish quality was so fresh and portions were great. I also loved their lobster soup and king yellow tail dishes. Highly highly recommend this spot! ”

“ Enjoyed the 12 course omakase menu at the bar. They have two options at the bar (12 course basic and a premium) and a separate 15 course option for table seating. There was only bar seating reservations available so that is what we went with. Everything was tasty and I especially enjoyed the two flavored two bite course served in a bowl that we had that night. It was a little hard to understand each dish being explained to us. An enjoyable meal for me. My friend didn't think it stood out against other Japanese omakase spots which have seemingly become more and more popular/common. ”

“ Celebrated my birthday with my fiance, and I loved the omakase experience here. As others have noted, the premium selection ($128pp) is worth it for the extra pieces and experience, especially for celebrations. I'm definitely more of a flavor combinations person when it comes to omakase, and they truly delivered some unique and delightful flavor combinations. The premium selection comes with 17 courses - 12 nigiri and 5 seasonal dishes. Highlights of the night for me include the salmon with tomato confit, otoro with shaved truffle, zucchini blossom with uni and caviar, and the sweet shrimp with lime zest and truffle salt. I unfortunately am not a huge fan of foie gras, which was paired with the hokkaido scallop (one of my faves). The seasonal dishes were also quite tasty. The chawanmushi and kumamoto oyster were my favorites. The chefs here aren't the most chatty, but they're very warm and take the time to explain each piece. They also sang for everyone's birthday! Definitely looking forward to being back for another occasion! ”

“ This is by far my new favorite omakase place. I made a reservation for dinner with some friends to celebrate some work promotions. The vibe felt intimate and warm. We sat at the counter so we got to watch the chef make the pieces. You can do 12 courses for $85 or 17 courses for $128. I opted for the 17 and my friends did the 12. And wow, I was blown away. Every bite was phenomenal! The fish quality was incredible and all the flavor combinations just paired so well. The main difference with the 17 course is that you get some unique bites beyond just fish--I had a lobster soup, truffle egg dish, and an uni oyster bite. The 17 course also ended with a dessert while the 12 did not. It was a nice way to mix up the courses. Our chef was excellent and also funny. I thought the 17 course was totally worth it for the price. My friends also enjoyed the 12 course and were satisfied. Our waitress was very attentive and incredibly sweet. She gave us free sake shots to congratulate us on our promotions. It was a great dining experience overall. I would 100% come back here and it was definitely worth it. ”

“ Totally worth a visit here for some good omakase! My girlfriend and I went with the $128 premium option for 17 pieces, which I thought was a pretty good value. The fish was fresh and there were some creative pieces. My girlfriend did the sake tasting too, and they were very generous with the pours, filling the glasses to the brim every time. The sushi chef and the staff were incredibly attentive. I wasn't a fan of one of the dishes (I don't like foie gras or that type of texture), and without even asking, they noticed and swapped it out for me! I know a couple reviews mentioned feeling rushed, but I didn't feel that way. We were done in 1h 15m, and that's with me ordering another piece of sushi at the end. Overall, a great experience. Our total came to around $400 for two people after tax and tip. Definitely planning to come back again ”

“ One of the best omakase I've had in nyc! My bf and I came here for our anniversary dinner last weekend and this place did not disappoint! I made reservations in advance and the entire process was smooth and easy. We showed up 15min before our reservation started, but they had seating at the tables in the back and allowed us to wait there. 4 sushi chefs and they were all kind, funny and extremely skilled. We chose the classic omakase for $85/person and ordered a bottle of the Nanbu Bijin for $75. Each sushi piece was outstanding with unique flavor profiles and the sake was delicious, light and too easy to drink. The sushi chef we had studied in Kobe, Japan since the 90's and speaks fluent Japanese. We were speaking for a while and he was so kind and talented. I loved watching him prepare each sushi. They gave everyone the cutest chopstick holders but encouraged us all to eat with our hands. All the customers also received a complimentary shot of yuzu sake, which was sweet and refreshing. Highly recommend coming here!! ”
