"Yes, it seems like a lab, with a seriously austere build out centering on a long sushi counter, behind which two or three chefs labor against a mottled gray backdrop. At $69, the 12-piece omakase is one of the best sushi deals in town, and each piece has been thoughtfully seasoned, sometimes with unusual flavorings. The sushi here is indeed an experiment, but a luscious one. Find another branch on the rooftop of the Sanctuary Hotel near Times Square." - Robert Sietsema
