Everything was delicious! I don’t feel like our chef was as personable as the one on the other side but that’s ok. Long as the food was good, that’s all that matters. The Toro was my favorite since it melts in your mouth. Such a fun experience for yummy food!!

I loved the 12 course! It was a good time all in all!
This was my first omakase experience and so glad this one it. Unlike traditional omakase, the ambience and service here is more laid back and perfect if you’re on a night out looking to have a drink and chill vibes. Just note the space can be a bit tight and lack waiting space.
Definitely recommend!
But the real star of the show was Chef Alex. He was on fire—cracking jokes, hyping our table, teasing the music, and even closing out each bite with one-liners that had us in stitches. And yet, he never lost his chef’s focus. Each nigiri was plated and delivered with laser precision… a seamless dance of flavor and flair. Alex’s combination of comedic timing and culinary skill felt rare, and it elevated the whole experience.
The omakase was a 12-course, 30-minute sprint (they also do a 17-course “Bougie” upgrade), and it felt like a curated journey through contemporary sushi with a hip‑hop soul . Standouts included the torched albacore, buttery Hokkaido scallop, and the saucy miso black cod. But the vibe? That old‑school hip‑hop soundtrack gave it a real nightlife pulse—like a secret speakeasy for sushi lovers .
A few highlights:
The ambiance: Graffiti art and rap CDs on the walls, loud but not crushing, and it felt like the chef was spinning behind our bowl instead of a DJ .
The pacing: Courses dropped every few minutes—fast, intense, but never chaotic. Perfect for a pre‑show bite or a quick, delicious detour .
Extras: We couldn’t resist adding the “Big Mac” hand roll—wagyu, uni, scallop, toro—it was a bomb of epic luxury, perfect to close the set .
If you want omakase with rhythm, energy, and real personality, especially in the heart of Times Square, this is it. Forget sterile sushi temples—this is raw, real, and alive. And if Chef Alex is behind the counter, you’re in for one hell of a night. Delicious, fun, and straight‑up unforgettable. Five stars, no doubt.
