Reviews
If you’re at the sushi counter, the service is very efficient; this won’t be a course that goes on for hours. Good variety of fish and flavors, hitting a few different points of taste and texture. Definitely good nigiri, all nicely put together with unique garnishes that complement each piece without being overpowering.
I’d happily make a return visit.
We also got the green tea tiramisu for dessert. Very strong and bitter matcha flavor which went well with the vanilla ice cream.
If you are the type of person who needs to drown their sushi in soy sauce and wasabi, this place might not be for you. Every slice is perfectly seasoned with a variety of sauces, and it’s not usually soy sauce.
The waiter was attentive, and the fish came out quickly over several different courses, timed just right so we never felt rushed or abandoned. The decor is Japanese minimalist; clean and sparse with lots of wood and light colors.
I eat a lot of sushi. I love it. Living in Japan for five years taught me how to appreciate excellent fish and the complexity of flavors of a well-made roll. It’s not about the fancy things like spices and cream cheese, more about the subtleties of the flavors coming together. Sushi Katsuei brings all of this together along with a Japanese vibe to transport you to a faraway place.
Highly recommend! So tasty and flavory
Also you get to experience beers from Japan!
We opted for the omakase, which is a traditional Japanese dining style where the chef selects and serves a series of dishes based on the freshest ingredients of the day. This experience allows diners to sit at the counter right in front of the sushi chef, creating an intimate interaction as they prepare each piece of sushi right before your eyes. It’s a unique opportunity to witness the artistry and precision that goes into crafting each dish, while also receiving personal attention and insights from the chef about the ingredients and flavors.
Our sushi chef was not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and engaging. He made us feel right at home and took the time to explain each dish as it was presented, sharing stories about the fish and its origins. It was clear that he had a deep passion for his craft, which made the experience all the more enjoyable.
The sushi itself was outstanding. Each piece was a work of art, showcasing fish from all over the world, with a particular emphasis on selections from the waters south of Japan and Cape Cod. The freshness and quality of the fish were truly remarkable. From buttery tuna to delicate flounder, each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor. The chef’s expert knife skills and attention to detail were evident in every piece, making the omakase a true testament to the artistry of sushi making.
One of the highlights was the chef’s unique presentations and the thoughtful combinations of flavors. It was evident that each dish was carefully curated to provide a perfect balance of taste and texture. The accompanying sauces and garnishes enhanced the experience without overpowering the freshness of the fish.
Furthermore, my husband, who is gluten-free, appreciated that the chef was accommodating and made adjustments based on his dietary needs. This level of consideration added to our positive experience, as it allowed us both to enjoy the meal without any concerns.
The intimate setting of Sushi Katsuei added to the experience, allowing for a personal connection between the chef and the diners. The ambiance was relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion or a memorable night out.
In conclusion, Sushi Katsuei exceeded all my expectations. The omakase was a culinary journey that showcased the best of what sushi has to offer, all while being guided by a friendly and talented chef. If you’re a sushi lover in NYC, I highly recommend making a reservation at Sushi Katsuei. It’s an experience that celebrates the art of sushi and will leave you craving more long after you leave!
Service was very friendly. Ambiance was a bit sterile, but who cares with sushi this good?
