"I mention Arami as one of the city’s premier sushi restaurants and as the place where Joe Fontalera previously worked as executive chef before launching Boonie Foods, a background that underscores his culinary credentials." - Ashok Selvam
"A well-regarded sushi spot noted for its sake program; the establishment's expertise with sake has informed the proprietor's approach to selecting and retailing beverages at his new bottle shop." - Naomi Waxman
"Remaining open for takeout, I noticed that Arami has continued operating while several other restaurants temporarily shut down after staff members or significant others of staff members tested positive for COVID-19." - Aimee Levitt
"I’ve noticed that Arami, one of the city’s most respected sushi restaurants that opened in 2010 with chef B.K. Park, has a new chef, Ismael Lucero, and recently reopened for dine-in after the pandemic. The restaurant is leaning into omakase with multiple price points — including a vegetarian option — while retaining a traditional menu; customers can even call in omakase to go, giving staff a budget and sharing their fish preferences. Fujimura says the team has 'really tightened the screws at Arami in a good way' and feels invigorated." - Ashok Selvam
"I note that Ty Fujimura, who owns Arami (a West Town sushi spot) as well as other restaurants, supports raising the minimum wage and includes an optional 2 percent surcharge to cover employee health insurance, but says he will never mandate a tip in the form of a service charge and has not observed a gap in tips based on race or ethnicity at his restaurants." - Naomi Waxman
