Best omakase sushi experience in NYC by far during my 27 years living here. I still think about the food and Hide-san’s hospitality—even though it’s been a long time since I was last there at the 23rd St. location. I can’t wait to visit the new LES location and see him again.

Fairly old school edomae omakase. Chef owner has been around in the states since the 80s and something about his style and general disposition feels very much throwback to the glory days. Some courses were truly as good as you expect from pure edomae level reflecting styles found in and around Tokyo going back decades. Where I thought the chef was not so precise is in technique that I was expecting at master level considering his almost half century practice making sushi. Some cuts were inconsistent and rice quality varied from the very first batch being a bit underseasoned and mushy. To generally lacking consistency where it was borderline falling apart when being picked up. And temperature wise running hot. The fish selection was pretty solid, especially multiple cuts of Toro. There were a few other solid choices like perch. Was it worth $200 for 15 courses? I think it’s a bit overpriced considering you can find similar selections for less. I suppose you can add a premium for completely unhurried tempo and intimate setting. We were the only party at the time of service.

What a divine experience from start to finish! We had the 16-course omakase paired with sake. Came here for NYE dinner and it was magnificent. Fresh seafood on pillow-like rice. Hoji tea ice cream was perfect to end the meal.
The place is minimalistic but very put together. Staff was highly attentive. And the chefs are topnotch.

This is my all time favorite omakase sushi restaurant across NYC and San Francisco. The owner chef is passionate about his ingredients and creation. He keeps his special rice warm until he’s ready to make each sushi. And flavors explode with delight. The staff are welcoming and friendly. As a bonus, his sushi has magic in bringing together even strangers as friends at the end of the omakase experience.

I had the omakase at the sushi bar. Everything was really good, but there were details that made the experience less than excellent, especially at this price point. I’m sure others will love this place. Some of the fish were slightly drier than usual and the handroll was dripping soy sauce when I received it. The bar seating is tight, the person next to me too close and I could hear their entire conversation (I wish I couldn’t have).

It’s as good as I remember it! Been a LONG time since I’ve been but it’s still so good! Chef was awesome and boy can he drink beer!
I still remember that seared toro with truffle salt…

There are bar seat and table seat. Bar seat requires minimum $170 for 16 pieces of omakase. We took table seat. Made reservation just that day morning and still lots of vacancies at dinner time. We got sushi and sashimi combination $80 (served with miso soup) to share. And add something else we’d like to eat – steamed monk fish liver, raw octopus with wasabi leaf, steamed egg custard, squid arms with spicy cod roe, white fish and sea urchin (again!) our combination set includes sea urchin already but the taste is so great that we couldn’t help order extra. Every pieces are fresh and flavorful! Don’t forget to have some desserts as a perfect ending. Love grapefruit jelly. Green tea tiramisu is more like panna cotta, also amazing! A pricy place but a breathtaking journey with artistic freshness. Highly recommend to those Japanese-style fish lover, go experience yourself!

There were a few pieces that I thought were really delicious (anago, shima aji, seared otoro, black sesame ice cream) but overall I thought it was just okay. There are other places in NYC with much better sushi.

Enjoyed the place and the food. Sushi was amazing. We also tried Omakase which was incredible.
Highly recommended if you like Japanese food.
Please note that ordering Omakase would take at least hour and a half by itself.

Omakase is sashimi, variety of sushi and a hand-roll, very fresh fish from all over the world. Very good environment and quiet ambient for you to chat with chef. However I don’t speak Japanese and don’t quite understand some words from chef even after clarification. High recommend toro and sea urchin sushi, very tasty! Dessert is also included with omakase, lady M green tea slice, typical for lots of Japanese restaurants.
