New York City’s Best Omakase Sushi

"A high-energy, walnut-paneled 22-seat counter tucked behind a cocktail bar in Williamsburg where chef Mark Garcia presents an unconventional, flavor-forward 16-course omakase for about $150. The program is distinguished by a signature black shari—rice seasoned with Celtic sea salt, a custom vinegar blend, and a touch of maple syrup—that underpins playful yet pristine seafood such as kanpachi topped with poblano pepper served on a green quartzite counter. The menu nods to the chef’s past (including a cult-favorite bite built from tuna, roasted shiitake, and Marcona almond) and signs out with inventive desserts like tomato sherbet with wasabi oil, ricotta, and white chocolate while cocktails lean into al pastor taco inspirations." - Kat Odell

Hear & There - Review - Williamsburg - New York - The Infatuation

"In Williamsburg, Hear & There combines two different spaces in one package. Up front, there’s a cocktail bar with drinking snacks—like a Chicago dog-style bao bun, and in the back, there’s an omakase counter. Sound is paramount: they’ve got a pretty serious hi-fi system in the bar space. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman

A new Japanese listening bar and omakase counter is coming to Brooklyn next month, with a drinks menu led by a Please Don’t Tell (PDT) alum, Larry Gonzalez. Hear & There is opening in Williamsburg at 109 South Sixth Street, between Berry Street and Bedford Avenue, starting Monday, March 3. It’s the first venture by new company Third Date Hospitality, run by co-owners and couple Howard Ng and Samantha Nie. Gonzalez worked at PDT under co-founder Jim Meehan and current owner Jeff Bell. Mark Garcia is the chef, formerly at Queens speakeasy omakase Himitsu and sushi restaurant Kissaki. The front of Hear & There is the bar with a menu of cocktails and otsumami (Japanese bar snacks) — think the Big Apple, a drink with green apples; Brussels sprouts with beef; crab toast topped with caviar; and wagyu skewers. The 22-seat omakase counter is in the back where diners can choose from two tasting-menu options. The speakers are custom-built by audio-focused design studio House/Under/Magic.

I had a great experience here! I did the omakase and everything was on point. The otoro was incredibly buttery, and I especially loved the eel with tamago. The crab cake topped with uni was another standout—uni is literally my favorite, so that was a treat. The vibe of the place is really cool too; it’s split into two rooms—one for the omakase experience and the other for more comforting dishes like bao buns. Also, shoutout to Amy—she was so lovely and super helpful when it came to helping us choose the perfect sake. Her recommendations really elevated the whole experience.

Me and my fiancé came here for omakase and when waiting for our reservation, got a drink at the bar. The cocktails are craft with unique ingredients. There is an eclectic selection of spirits and wine. The speakers in this establishment are of particularly good quality. There is even a dj set up at the Omakase bar. Omakase is 16 courses in 2+ hours. There was 4 non nigiri dishes at the beginning which were essentially small dishes. After, there was nigiri, a hand roll and dessert. The food was amazing and creative. The staff members are witty and pleasant. We had a great time and will be coming back.

Hear & There is a fun audio focused Japanese cocktail bar and omakase that recently opened in Williamsburg. There are two tasting menu options (traditional or otsumami) that are very reasonable and well worth the value! I got the otsumami and the uni was so fresh! The chefs take great pride in the fish and it all paired beautifully with the sake and natural wines. The service was also impecable. With Hear & There, you have options whether you want to pop in for a cocktail and snack or go for the omakase. It has a fun vintage vibe as well with great music in the lounge area. We'll definitely be back!

One of the most gorgeous Omakase build-outs I've seen. The food and cocktails were top notch and service was impeccable. I will definitely come back more often just for the audio system they have in the cocktail lounge.

Awesome cocktail bar + omakase. With so many sushi restaurants in Nyc I definitely thought this was one of the superior vibes. Great MUSIC. It would totally be great to impress date. overall, the sushi was very good. I thought the fish was fresh and it was garnished well without being too overwhelming.

Love this spot. It's only been open for two months and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a hard-to-get res. Larry, the head bartender, is a 'Please don't tell' alum and manages the cocktail program. I haven't yet tried the omakase, but we'll be back for it shortly.

What an amazing surprise! Food wise the menu was very good - a mix of modern Japanese tastes- all surprising and well balanced together. My partner and I popped in on a weeknight and we both opted for the Otsumami Omakase. The staff was very friendly, kind, and helpful. I was really impressed about the decor (retro looking sound system in the cocktail room), design, and layout of this entire restaurant. The uni, scallops, toro, and dessert (made in house sorbet) all stood out to me. All of the seafood was fresh and clean. The music was lovely and added to the atmosphere. The timing of the rolls and the explanations from the head chef gave the perfect Friday night date night.
