Sushi Kaito

The New York Link & Dine Restaurants - New York - The Infatuation

"There's plenty of good sushi on theUpper West Side, but we love the 17-course omakase at Kaito. Every two or three rounds of nigiri will be broken up by a cooked dish like tempura-fried hake in a mushroom broth, and maybe a smoked goldeneye snapper collar if you’re lucky. The sushi tends to lean traditional here, but the chefs behind the 12-seat counter slice the fish notably thicker than most places. When you’re eating hefty pieces of king salmon, Japanese mackerel with ginger, or sweet shrimp with yuzu zest, you’ll really feel like you’re getting your money’s worth (and also like your mouth has an entire fish in it)." - Team Infatuation
