Enso Omakase

I went the other day after booking the omakase experience. I have to say, stunning. I got there a little early for the 6pm session, and was seated at the bar while the chefs got ready. The whiskey selection is incredible and unique, the wine and sake are plentiful and the cocktails are carefully constructed. I was seat at a bar setup with three others and proceeded to have the time of my life. Both chefs were fun, lovely and knowledgeable. All the dishes were crafted with a kind of skill that you have to see to believe. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am already recommending this place. I understand why Michelin is eyeing this place

Incredible, omakase dinner with an even better experience with Chef Nick. Entire experience was unlike any other I’ve had - and I’ve been to many of the best omakase places here in NYC. Chef Nick was so knowledgeable and made the dinner while explaining every dish. Fish was incredibly fresh - and rice was made steamed in the best way possible. Amazing! 10/10

The service and atmosphere at Enso is exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed the chef's table omakase experience since the passion of Chef Nick and Takeshi shined vibrantly through their bespoke tableware and seasonal items. On top of that they are both very interesting people as you'll find out when you sit at their table. Byron and Freddy were also so nice and helped us appreciate our creative cocktails. I loved the highball Akari- v refreshing. We enjoyed being educated on the each of the 16 pieces and the interactive conversational style of the meal where we all felt like friends. Just a note- with a cocktail, the 16 course chef's table meal is about 285 pp after tax and tip. The experience is really unparalleled and we thought it was wonderful for a special occasion- many personal touches to make it memorable. But- if you're looking for a deal/ I think the price of the bar and cocktail lounge 12 course tasting meal (95 pp) is more worthy. Hopefully you get to try their hojicha cream dessert- it was amazing.

I have to say the dining environment here is truly impressive. The lighting, music, and decor all came together to elevate our dining experience. We tried the tasting menu, which was priced at $95 per person. The photo shows everything included in that price. While the ambiance was excellent, I feel that the food itself didn’t quite match the value. For the same price, you can find more flavorful and cost-effective options in the city.

I’ve been to many omakase experiences, but this one was by far the most incredible. Every detail felt intentional, and I truly learned so much throughout the meal. The chef didn’t just serve sushi — he told a story with every bite. I was genuinely surprised and impressed by his creativity, technique, and presence. An unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Enso Omakase is a beautifully designed spot with a stunning atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. However, some aspects left us feeling like the price didn’t fully justify the evening. The cocktails were exceptional—definitely a highlight—but some of the tastings felt fairly generic and lacked the creativity you’d expect at this price point. On the plus side, the restaurant has a lovely backyard, which we’re excited to try out in the summer. Overall, Enso delivers on atmosphere and drinks, but the food didn’t quite live up to the premium price tag. It’s worth a visit, but temper your expectations.

I had a truly unique experience at Enso’s Omakase room, which accommodates around 10 people. A large party canceled just before my reservation, leaving me with the opportunity to dine alone and enjoy a more intimate setting with the three talented chefs: Nick Wang, Takeshi Sato, and a younger new chef who had already brought creative and delicious new ideas to the menu within just a month of joining their team. The ambiance of the Omakase room is stunning, designed to transport you to a luxurious dining experience reminiscent of Japan. Each course was not only beautifully presented but also truly incredible in taste and quality. The chefs showcased the freshest ingredients, and every bite was a delightful exploration of flavors. Additionally, I had the pleasure of enjoying a sake pairing recommended by General Manager Byron Agila. The sake complemented the entire meal perfectly, enhancing the flavors of each course and elevating the overall dining experience. The chefs were incredibly kind, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the fish, explaining how flavors can vary based on the season and the fish’s diet. Typically, I visit Omakase restaurants to not talk too much and observe masters at work and enjoy whatever they recommend. But being alone in the room allowed for meaningful conversation, and I learned so much about their passion for the craft. Overall, my experience at Enso was nothing short of incredible. Having dined many Omakase restaurants in NYC, I can confidently say this one will be unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back!

Great restaurant. Food, cocktails, service and ambience were of an impossibly high standard. Had the omakase menu. Best sushi I have had in a long time. They go to incredible lengths to prepare the fish. A real gem.

What an incredible omakase experience - truly exceeded all expectations. We had an early dinner seating and were lucky enough to have the entire omakase bar to ourselves. Tucked away in a separate, beautifully designed part of the restaurant, the space itself was stunning - everything from the ceramics to the chairs and plating felt thoughtful and elevated. Service was absolutely top-notch. The two chefs walked us through each course with such care, sharing insights about the fish selection, curing techniques, and preparation. The rest of the staff was just as attentive, quietly wiping away condensation and keeping everything pristine. As for the food: flawless. Every piece of fish was fresh, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Personal standouts were the katsuo tataki and chutoro. We had 16 courses, including dessert, and speaking of dessert... the hojicha pudding might go down as one of the best things I've ever tasted. I was scraping the bowl clean. Can't wait to return. It was truly a memorable meal from start to finish!

This is such an elevated experience! We did the 16 course omakase starting at 6pm. It was amazing from start to finish. The chefs and staff are so accommodating and professional. The interior of this restaurant is clean, calming, and warm. Lots of wood accents and dim lighting. The fish quality could not be more fresh, they were showing us the whole fish and where they cut our portions from. The chefs were so nice to answer all our questions about where fishes were from or what knives they use for certain cuts. They also accommodated my preference against uni and subbed it out for a beautiful piece of fish. I highly recommend this spot for a birthday or special event. It is worth the money and truly a luxury experience.

Amazing experience. We have been longtime patrons of Ako. This is 10x elevated and an outstanding omakase experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming and service was so friendly and professional. But the stars of the show were the chefs and the food. Just amazing omakase. New to the neighborhood so please give it a try so it stays put.

Fantastic addition to the neighborhood. The ambience is just stunning - we felt like we were in Tokyo. The hospitality is also top-notch. Nick, the owner, is truly passionate about what he does and pays attention to every little detail.
