The 20 Best Restaurants In Greenwich Village

"Sub-$100 omakases are opening at an alarming rate in New York, but Kazumi is still notable for a meal that tastes more expensive than it is. For $75, you get a dozen pieces of simple but good nigiri—like kanpachi with a little bite, or king salmon with miso beans. You’ll also get some luxurious pieces, like torched otoro with caviar, Hokkaido uni, and torched a5 wagyu—as well as a dainty piece of yuzu cheesecake for dessert. This is a great spot for a casual date that won’t completely break the bank, or a solo dinner to celebrate making it through the week." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore

The 15 Best Sushi Omakase Spots In NYC For Under $100

"From the near-perfect texture of the nigiri to the constant refilling of your water glass, Kazumi Omakase in Greenwich Village earns its $75 price-tag thanks to its level of attentiveness. Like a lot of the other spots on this guide, you get an hour to eat your 12 pieces, made with classic fish like kanpachi, madai, and all three fatty levels of tuna, and the meal finishes off with the world’s most adorable piece of yuzu basque cheesecake. The difference with Kazumi (besides the soundtrack of outdated Top 40 hits) is that there is no gimmick here: it’s just you, your chef, and the fish they put in front of you, making it great for a casual experience that’ll leave you satisfied and, with all that water, well hydrated." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman

Kazumi Omakase Review - Greenwich Village - New York - The Infatuation

"The sushi at Kazumi Omakase in Greenwich Village tastes more expensive than it is. For $75, you’ll eat 12 pieces of simple, almost-naked nigiri while listening to Top 40 from two years ago. Pieces are standard but noticeably cared for, like kanpachi with just a bit of chew, king salmon with miso beans, torched otoro with caviar, creamy Hokkaido uni, a5 wagyu, and an adorable slice of yuzu cheesecake for dessert. Expect a crowd that's just as dependable as the fish, especially if you like eavesdropping on software developers with $250k salaries who are out for a casual meal or influencers talking about making summer content in Nice.

NYC’s New Restaurant Openings - New York - The Infatuation

"We need to double check, but we think that there must be a statute in the NYC zoning code that every other omakase bar that opens between Houston and 14th Street has to keep its price tag under $100. Kazumi in the West Village falls under that category, and you’ll get 13 courses for $75. They also have beer, wine, and sake." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore

Kazumi Omakase was just added to my best omakases under $100 in NYC… this 13 course omakase was amazing and only $75 per person! You get all the best courses like torched sweet shrimp, wagyu with truffle, scallop, uni, ikura, and toro with caviar. The ikura is marinated so the pop is perfect and the taste is sweater than usual. I loved it! I also loved how they use pickled wasabi, freshly shaved truffle, caviar, scallions, and many more amazing toppings. The vibes are great and the food is outstanding! The portions are big so you leave full the fish truly is super fresh.

$75 for 13 courses sushi omakase. Quality is above average. The only thing is I prefer something pure and traditional. For example I love sweet shrimp and uni. But I don’t like when they are mixed together. It is distracting and I can’t feel the pure sweetness from both shrimp and uni. But overall the fish, the seasoning, the presentation is great. The scallop was my favorite!!

Highly recommend! High quality fish and excellent service. So fun to watch the prep right in front of you. $75 for 13 course set omakase menu, with option to add extra pieces or repeat for additional fee. Sake, wine and beer available - received a glass of sake on the house during the tasting. Make a reservation and the seating is 1 hour. There are a couple tables you can wait at if you come early or need more time to finish.

Best sushi experience ever in the USA! Every sushi was artistically & carefully prepared. At the end of 13 sushi the chef presented another special roll which was delicious. Also, an amazing cheesecake & delicious sake! Chef Danny was so friendly & funny & the restaurant had great music & vibe. Will definitely recommend & return on our next visit to NYC!

This was my first Omakase sushi experience in the city, and overall, it was a great introduction. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the quality was excellent throughout the meal. They even offered a complimentary glass of sake, which was a nice touch. That said, as someone from Japan, I personally prefer a more traditional approach to sushi—simple and focused on the pure flavor of the fish. This place, like many Omakase spots in New York, tends to add extras like caviar or other toppings, which I find unnecessary. It’s just a different style, but not one that suits my taste. You’re allotted about an hour for the experience, and I believe it was a 13-course meal. I do wish they had an option with more courses. Still, for anyone looking to enjoy very fresh fish and a well-executed Omakase in a great location, this is a solid choice. I personally wouldn’t return, but I can see why many people would enjoy it.

Kazumi is a very special place. The VALUE of this omakase set is truly unmatched. The fish slices are generous, the flavor combinations are creative and delicious, and the service is true hospitality. Wayne was a phenomenal chef and truly a master of his craft. This spot is definitely a must try for any sushi lover or omakase enthusiast. We can't wait to be back!

Came to Kazumi Omakase for a birthday dinner and had a really great evening. Honestly, this might be one of the best under-$100 omakase spots in the city. The fish was super fresh and well prepared, with some nice touches like caviar on a few pieces, Hokkaido uni, eel with foie gras, and wagyu. Sure, a few dishes may not have had the refinement of higher-end spots, but for the price, it was an outstanding meal and seriously good value.If you’re feeling indulgent, don’t skip the Big Mac to finish—it’s over the top in the best way. The service was excellent too and really made the night special. Big shoutout here to our chef Wayne, who was incredibly kind. We’ll definitely be back.

Kazumi Omakase Restaurant has set a new standard for exceptional dining experiences. Our evening with Chef Wayne was truly unforgettable. The omakase menu showcased the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, expertly prepared and presented with precision and passion. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made us feel like royalty. We were blown away by the attention to detail and the genuine warmth of the team. If you're looking for a truly special culinary experience, look no further than Kazumi. We can't wait to return!

Experience was great, with good pacing and explanation between pieces. The combinations were enjoyable, including wagyu + black truffle, Hokkaido uni + scallops, unagi + foie gras, and toro + caviar. The Big Mac and Kazumi specials were both luxuriant extras, but worthwhile. Chef also offered a final piece of salmon gratis for being first time customers.

Cozy intimate space with limited seating at the bar, so make sure to have a reservation made! Every piece was so fresh and delicious - some standouts were the Spanish Mackerel, Wagyu, and Hamachi. I loved how thought out the pairings were in the toppings used and depths of flavors. What I also appreciated was the server moving us to the booth available in the front to continue our party and finish with dessert, as another party was going to be seated at the counter. While we felt a bit rushed at the bar, it was nice to have some time to chat more especially in a more comfortable seated area.

Very affordable omakase with good quality fish, though some of the cuts weren't as great as others. My favorites were the scallop and uni. Also really liked the final dessert dish!

Excellent Omakase! Small restaurant, as it should be for omakase. I enjoyed every piece. The staff were very attentive, the chef was excellent and the food was heavenly. A big bonus is the fact that the omakase here has a reasonable price point and it's in a great location.

I will preface by saying this was my very first Omakase experience EVER and I'm so glad it was at Kazumi. We had a 9pm reservation and arrived 15-20 minutes early. They took our coats and we sat in the waiting area at the front and were quickly provided a beverage menu and cold waters while taking in the beautiful restaurant and unique omakase bar and lack of a traditional dining room. We tried the Yuzu Sake to start and it was rather sweet but enjoyable. I think it would've been better enjoyed while eating sushi rather than by itself. I will also say -- their drink menu features wine, beer, sake, and sparkling juice. You will not be enjoying iced tea or soft drinks as they simply don't have them, FYI. We were sat right around 9pm and provided with fresh waters. We were asked by the chef if we had any dietary restrictions and we confirmed we did not. We ordered a bottle of the Cantaloupe Sake this time -- 375ml for $30. It was well worth it as the bottle lasted us the remainder of our meal. Especially because we were provided with a round of sake on the house to follow while we enjoyed our dessert course. The Omakase experience is $75 per person and includes 13 courses, the final one being a dessert course. Most of the bites were nigiri. We enjoyed Otoro with Kaluga caviar, Yellowtail, Mackerel (one of our favorites), A5 Wagyu torched, scallop, King Salmon, a Toro hand roll, Uni, and Eel with foie gras among a few others. Everything was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. I liked how it was simple and really allowed you to enjoy the freshness of the fish in its purest form, rather than loading it up with a million toppings that end up covering that flavor. The chefs and wait staff were so kind, lighthearted, and took a true interest in making a wonderful experience for each and every guest. They even provided the option to forego the sweet dessert and instead have an additional piece of your favorite course, which I thought was a nice personal touch. I would definitely return to Kazumi and thank them for a wonderful first Omakase experience!

With so many omakases opening up in the city, I don't know if this is one I'd recommend. The pieces are nothing special and some were a bit...bland. But this spot is new so maybe we just came on an off day, or they might improve over time. The service was very friendly and they did refill our happy water quite often!

My friend and I came by for the soft opening during which Kazumi had a 15% off promotion for their 13-course omakase. The service was so nice and accommodating, focusing in on little details like proactively taking our coats and keeping our sake glasses full. The chef was also so sweet, checking in with us on how we like the courses. And of course the fish was good - very delicious and fresh. My favorite pieces were the hotate (scallop) and the ootoro (fatty tuna). All in all: it was a nice experience, and it is always great to have another solid omakase spot in the area!

12 pieces nigiri + 1 dessert is well worth the $75+tip:tax. Each piece was exquisitely crafted and tasted delicious. The highlight's aka my favorites were the truffle wagyu, scallop and the uni. Everything was very fresh. My chef took his time to explain each piece to me and was very meticulous when making each piece. Reserved for 1pm on a Saturday and it was not busy at all which I appreciated. It wasn't hard to find the store front. I would definitely come back for more.

Excellent experience through and through. Been to a lot of omakase spots around this price point and this one stands out: the service goes above and beyond, and the food manages to be extra flavorful and exciting despite being a standard omakase set. The cheesecake dessert was also a winner - not something I expect at an omakase spot! They make you feel appreciated and welcomed here. Would recommend!

Experience a 13-course omakase journey priced at an astonishing $75 per person. Redefine the omakase experience by offering high quality ingredients at an unparalleled price point. It includes the exquisite A5 wagyu , mouthwatering otoro, luscious caviar and the delicacy of uni. With the great service and cozy vibes, this spot is absolutely a top recommendation!

Decent omakase, but I've had better. I will note that the staff were very warm and kind, which I always appreciate. When our sushi chef noticed that my mom spoke Chinese, he actually started explaining each course in Chinese to her, which I thought was a nice touch. Turns out that he was actually from Guangzhou (many of the staff seemed to be Chinese if that matters to you). Technical execution was fine. At this price point, some of the ingredients offered (foie, wagyu, uni) were pretty good value imo. Glad we tried it once.

The best part about this hidden gem is how fresh the fish are. Chef Henry and the rest of the staff are truly incredible, went on a Saturday night and it was packed. Love their toro with caviar, Hokkaido uni (sea urchin) and A5 wagyu with truffle on top!!

Everyone who works here is so kind and attentive. This is a new place with a cozy and inviting ambience. I came here for the first time last week during the coldest weeks and I really enjoyed the food. Beautiful, clean, the omakase is amazing. The chef is so kind. I feel bad I forgot to include in my reservation that my friend is pescatarian. I wasn't thinking. But the chef asked to make sure which I appreciate and was able to make accommodations. I also appreciate how this is an affordable place. My favorite was the uni, scallop, hand roll, the fish that were real fatty. I feel bad I wasn't in the best mood that evening due to personal reasons so my spirits weren't as high and happy as usual. So I am coming back next week to dine alone and really immerse myself in the food.

New Omakase spot in west village area for $75 for 13 pcs. Space is big, bright and spacious. Went around 5pm and it was almost a full house. Enjoyed every piece and was shocked how big the pieces were. Highly recommend this spot

Came with my friend for the omakase experience for a holiday dinner. The place is relatively small but comfortable around the counter. The wait staff was proactively checking in on us and they were super sweet to make sure that things were to our liking. The fish for the omakase was super fresh, and I really enjoyed the scallops. I would say that the pieces were a bit on the smaller side so I was just satisfied. They had a cake-y dessert at the end which is atypical of a omakase place.

This was amazing. Honestly one of the best omakase experiences l've had. All the food was top tier, super fresh, melt in your mouth type food. My ultimate fave was the Waygu and the salmon. Both so unbelievably delicious. Was super cool to see them prepare everything in front of us. The chefs were super cool and explained each dish as they were served.

Came here during their soft opening in a Saturday so it was 15% off their $75 13-pc omakase experience. The service is really great, they make sure to greet you and take your coat to hang up right away. They had a 15 minute grace period and my cousin was going to be way later than that but they were so nice to allow me to wait for her to start! I felt bad because the rest of the guests in our time slots were already halfway done with their course. The manager even offered us to sit in the last two seats so that we could stay and dine longer once she arrived. As for the pieces, they were all decent sized for the price. I love a good affordable omakase spot. The pieces were typical (hamachi, salmon, toro, etc) but I did have some favorite pieces (ebi with uni, Hokkaido scallop, A5 wagyu). We got a cup of sake on the house, with a free refill from the manager. The whole experience was very pleasant. The place has limited seating so it makes for a nice, intimate setting. The dessert at the end was surprisingly delicious! It was a cute little s'mores cup.

Love this place, it's cozy and friendly. They offered a $75 per person 13 course omakase. 50 mins per person and next seating come right after that. The whole restaurants is modern yet cozy and the fish is so fresh !!! I love the toro, the wagyu, and the scallop!! They do changes their fish daily, and their adds on were amazingly delicious!!

I haven't wrote a review in a while but this place is definitely deserving!! I'm so used to leaving omakase spots, at this price point, wanting more, but Kazumi exceeded my expectations. I went here for their soft opening and got 15% off $75 for 13 pieces. Such a steal!! Each and every piece was fresh and buttery Portions were also generous. I love how all the pieces focused on the quality of the fish and were not overpowered by too many flavors or toppings. The staff is friendly and checked in on us multiple times. The inside is relatively spacious in comparison to others and the bathroom is modern and smells amazing. I will definitely be back and this will be my go-to if I want to get affordable omakase

With so many omakase in nyc you feel like you can literally eat at a new spot every week and it'll take you months to try them all. They serve a more traditional style omakase with your typical nyc adds on, such as foie gras and Caviar. We left feeling satisfied especially with a 15% off discount. It's def a good neighborhood spot for a quick omakase fix.

Had such an amazing dinner here. The fishes were all so fresh and for the price, it can't be beat! Every bite was just melt in your mouth, from the torched fishes, to the A5 wagyu, to the uni. Service was also very attention to detail. Though we arrived half hour earlier than our reservation, the server saw us from the inside and sat us down at the benches inside to wait. There were drink menus we ordered from while we got seated. Everything was very reasonably priced. Make sure to check in on Yelp for a complimentary cup of sake or a glass of wine. Best part of our meal was Kim, our chef. (Kim is a male by the way). Though our meal was only an hour long, Kim made sure to be thorough in each course going through the different types of fishes we were having and the toppings/pairings it came with. He was friendly and welcomed us with open arms which made the whole meal wonderful and relaxed. Kim also mentioned the fishes are shipped in to New York to their restaurant on a daily bases to ensure freshness and quality. Pictures don't lie, they really are fresh. You're not gonna find fancy platings or wowed by presentations, but if you love good, decent, fresh sushi that's not going to break your wallet this is for you!

Went in for omakaze on a Saturday night and let me tell you, best omakaze in nyc hands down! 13 course for $75 per person, 11 of them are nigiri to die for and one hand roll in heaven. My favorite is definitely the toasted foie gras with eel sushi, you can put that on a shoe and I will eat it!! The 13th being a dessert. We also ordered this cantaloupe flavored nigori sake, who needs sex when you can drink that all night long. The service was amazing, my girls knows exactly what I need like my Chanel bag and chef Henry is my soulmate. By the way, did I told you that all the designs in the restaurant is hand picked by chef Henry? You welcome!!!

Wow! Best omakse I've had. Not only was the fish good but the service was better. Perfect amount of wasabi and perfect amount of soy sauce with each bite. The fish can speak for itself. When I mean the service is good...I mean too good. They positioned the sushi specifically for right handers and I only noticed this because I'm left handed. So for me, I was aware of this gesture but I knew this was done for a reason. My sushi chef noticed me rotating the sushi every time he handed me a piece and after that placed the sushi at a left handed angle. I've never had this kind of service before. I was in awe. Our chef was Chef Henri and he was the best. And the sushi better than the rest
