Traditional sushi often using fish flown in from Japan served in a minimalist, bamboo setting.

In an era where the omakase experience is getting increasingly commercialized, this longtime institution clearly stands out with its professionalism and excellent quality fish. They’ve been around since the 90s and honestly, it shows. It was a breath of fresh air to come here and not eat the exact same pieces of fish you get at the majority of omakase spots in NYC. Highlights include saltwater eel, mackerel (both kinds), firefly squid and more. Even the toro tastes superior to most other places.

Absolutely amazing. You could not ask for better food, fresh ingredients, traditional, well presented and a fast and efficient service. I could not have asked for more. I recommend the omakase, I could have gone on eating until I burst but had to say stop eventually. Bravo. The best sushi I have eaten in the US, Europe, and Japan.

We had sushi there yesterday and it was truly an amazing experience. The chef was not only highly skilled and professional, but also very funny, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh—honestly the freshest and best I’ve ever had. Every bite was full of clean, natural flavor. Highly recommend!

Best sushi I’ve had in a long time and I lived in Tokyo for more than a decade. I did the omakase menu and wasn’t disappointed! Everything was fresh, well made, and awesome experience

Had the omakase option. Everything was amazing! Honestly, we went to Japan not too long and we also had omakase at a one star there. But anyways, the whole experience and especially the food was as good as, if not maybe a tad better than the one we had in Japan. Crazy take but it was honestly amazing. The chef also really catered to our preferences which was enjoyable without the need to outright tell him what we want certain items like à la carte style.

Excellent omakase at a reasonable price as far as NYC averages go. 15 pieces/$175. I prefer a place where the chefs are a little more outgoing and the atmosphere warmer (this is kind of stark modern), but I knew this going in. I wish the seat next to me at the counter hadn’t been empty though. Makes a difference!

This place is AMAZING.
They offer a large variety of sushi with fresh fishes from all over the world.
The staff knows Kosher, so for people who want to make sure they eat Kosher fish, the staff will be able to recommend a Kosher sushi selection.

Great food and service overall, but the experience ended on a disappointing note.
We came as a party of three and ordered the 15-course omakase along with drinks and appetizers. The food was excellent and the staff were attentive throughout most of the meal.
However, toward the end, things felt rushed. When we were ready to order dessert, we were asked to move from the bar to make room for the next reservation. I understand it was a busy Saturday dinner service, but our meal went just a little over two hours — which feels like a normal dining time for a full omakase experience.
We ended up moving to another area to finish our dessert, paid, and left shortly after. Unfortunately, the way the evening wrapped up left a negative impression, and I don’t think I’ll be returning

Definitely overpriced, especially now that tipping is back. You will spend $300 per person for dinner before drinks.
The fish is fresh, the service is attentive, but there’s nothing special about this place anymore. I think they haven’t updated the decor in over a decade.

Unsure how the dining in experience here is but the takeout was honestly nothing short of disgusting. Unsure how they claim this to be omakase. The uni was definitely rotten and the shrimp was the fishiest shrimp I’ve ever eaten. Unacceptable how this cost $200 when it really should have been $20.
