Wonderful and scrumptious experience! We booked the 13-course Autumn lunch special for 3 at the counter on a Saturday.
Despite buffering 30 minutes, the MTA was dysfunctional beyond our expectations per usual and we were on the verge of running late, so we called to let them know of the situation. They were very kind and understanding and let us have a 15 minute grace period, which we ended up not even needing because we sprinted there upon pulling into the station.
Upon being seated in the cozy but elegant space, the courteous staff explained the menu, including a la carte items and drinks. The chef quickly sprang into action, and we were served heavenly bite after bite. To be honest, we didn’t even really capture all of his expectations because we were too captivated by his masterpieces in our ravenous states, but every course was unique and fresh, yet giving a harmonious overall experience. My personal favorite was the striped jack nigiri, which had a bit of ponzu brushed onto it before serving. Second favorite was the appetizer – it was mindblowing flavor packed into each grain of rice.

I really enjoyed this place! The chefs explained each dish, which is one of my favorite parts of the omakase experience. Every piece of sushi tasted incredibly fresh, and the appetizers were thoughtfully chosen and delicious. We also ordered cocktails, and everything came out to about $100 per person; such a great deal for the quality. We’re definitely planning to come back for the premium experience next time!

RUN THERE NOW, don’t walk!! Literally hands down the best omakase experience I’ve had in NYC for this price point. Such hidden gem that you might casually walk by without looking twice. I went there for lunch on a slow Sunday and had the place to ourselves. Ingredients were so fresh and each bite was superbly well balanced in terms of flavors. The chef was so considerate and kept dishing one bite after the other at lightening speed since I told him I had a flight to catch later.

The $65 omakase was very good. All the pieces were delicious and came at a good pace, the salmon appetizer was very good and the cocktails were delicious.

Amazing value for the price. We opted for the lunch omakase and some sake. Everything was great. The taste may be not as refined as the higher end options but all in all, we enjoyed our course. Special thanks to the chef for being friendly and welcoming!

I had the lunch with my friend today, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The course consisted of nine pieces of sushi, each one incredibly fresh, tender, and delicate. Every bite melted in my mouth. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Really good experience. The omakase was super tasteful and good price. All the bites were amazing and we don’t like wasabi and they made a note and didn’t put any on our food. Thanks for everything

People, this place is the reel deal. Get it? Like reel like fishing and it’s a sushi place?!
Ok but seriously, this place is authentic and 10/10 experience from start to finish. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and splurged. Got an awesome bottle of Homare sake and did the premium omakase line up right at the sushi counter. From start to finish, beautiful presentation and impeccable service. The restaurant was perfect to celebrate an intimate occasion. It was quiet and peaceful, and we were well cared for. Each fish was fresh and prepared traditionally with no frills. The quality of the fish speaks for itself. I did my best to capture each course but it got too yummy and I got distracted. We will absolutely be back here. A delightful experience. Our waitress was kind and so attentive but not too much – clearly a pro. Our sushi chef was very present and made the experience fun and custom to our needs. Don’t think twice! It’s expensive so not a super regular thing but perfect for a special night out. Book this for your next celebration!
