"This party spot in Jackson Heights runs four nightly sushi omakase seatings, each with 15 pieces of nigiri, a couple of appetizers, and unlimited sake for $99 in cold hard cash (or Venmo). A meal here doesn’t so much feel like a typical omakase experience as it does a brief, reckless basement party with songs like “Sweet Home Alabama” blasting from the speakers. Whenever a diner’s cup empties, it's immediately refilled. After about two pours, the people sitting next to you at the sushi bar will begin to loosen up. Then you can all sing along to “Because I Got High” together while you eat some "smoked" salmon." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
