"This casual East Village institution, which seats 10 people at the counter for omakase and another 30 or so in the dining room, has been around since 1984. It offers three sushi omakase options: a $60 “traditional” option with nine pieces of sushi and one roll in its classic style, a $80 “special” option with 12 pieces of seasonal fish sushi and one roll, and a $110 “premium” option incorporating wagyu and truffle with 12 pieces of sushi and one roll. It also offers two sashimi omakases — a $65 deluxe sashimi and a $140 premium sashimi for two — as well as combination options, including a $150 sushi and sashimi for two." - Lorelei Yang
