"Lots of NYC sushi spots shoot for a quiet, minimalist sort of thing. But with its EDM soundtrack and futuristic LED lighting, Kissaki falls along the other end of the spectrum. It’s not quite , but it does feel like a place you’d find near a Fendi store in a mall for the 1%. The UWS restaurant is divided into two rooms—one with tables, another with a counter—and the menu features a selection of signature nigiri with various toppings like caviar and seared shiitake mushroom. You’ll probably spend at least $75 per person (unless you go for the $120 or $150 omakase), but the fish is great, the flavor combinations are interesting, and you can drink a good margarita while you consume your last paycheck. Kissaki also has locations in The Hamptons and Greenwich, Connecticut, as well as one downtown." - Bryan Kim
