The 29 Best Restaurants In The Hamptons 2024

"Kissaki’s Watermill location is a welcome addition to the area. We suggest checking out the intimate dining situation (the inside offers sushi bar-only seating) by enjoying their omakase-style menu and sake flights. With courtyard dining available for groups who want a bit more privacy, it’s a romantic spot for date nights and also spacious enough for large gatherings. Know that their omakase menu is only available Thursday night through Saturday night—though there’s always delivery and takeout if you’re feeling lazy." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation

7 Food & Drink Pop-Ups In The Hamptons This Summer

"Kissaki - a high-end sushi spot with locations in the East Village and Midtown - now has a space in Water Mill as well. An a la carte menu ranging from avocado rolls to $147 omakase boxes is available for takeout and delivery, as well as on the patio every day from 4-10pm. If you’d prefer to sit at the chef’s counter (which is limited to 50% occupancy) or a table on the covered veranda, you’ll need to order the $200 omakase, which requires a $100 deposit upon making the reservation. Whichever route you go with, you can book through their website." - matt tervooren

Finally decent and delicious sushi in the Hamptons that's not pretentious and overpriced just because it's the Hamptons. Staff was lovely from the minute we entered the restaurant and checked in for our reservation. Bjørn our server was attentive and warm and took great care of us this night. I like that they bring in their staff from their city location out here and house them till Menu is beautifully laid out and offers a variety of items for the die hard nigiri/sushi lovers as well as those who love hot Japanese cuisine as well. Their inventive futomaki selections are delicious and be warned the portions are generous too. And do not skip dessert! Their sake menu is quite large and offers a very good variety from the extra dry to the sweet. Location is ideal with ample parking in the back, and their outdoor seating area was well put together, this evening was super windy and cool and we never felt cold nor the wind. Will most definitely be back for more!

This place is exceptionally good great vibe, but do yourself a favor don’t go on a Saturday when is a party. You won’t be able to enjoy the food and it’s something to be enjoyed. Wagyu fried rice is the way to go

In short: Food was amazing! Our server, Gerardo, however, could use more training. Going into more detail: We were on the fence between whether or not we should go that day so we made a last minute reservation and weren’t able to sit at the sushi bar. The dining room was nicely set up and we were greeted with a friendly host/manager. I ordered oysters to start, followed by the uni sundae and a la carte pieces of chuu-toro. I was skeptical since the prices were marked a decent amount higher than other well-known sushi spots but the toro was surprisingly topped with caviar. I conceded; the order was well worth the price. They had just changed the dessert menu at the time but I could’ve done without it. I was satisfied with everything aside from the service. To start, we ordered a bottle of hot sake. Gerardo brought 2 wine glasses and proceeded to pour. Eventually realizing his mistake, he took out sake cups and poured the sake from the wine glass into the cups in front of us. That would be a no-no at a fine dining establishment. He was absent most of our meal and checked on us maybe once. I would’ve been more lenient if he had other tables but it wasn’t even busy since it was a rainy weekday. We got more face time with the manager, who also took our dessert order. And smaller things that I noted given the price point of the menu: we were provided with some chipped plate- and tea-ware to use. Not a big deal in terms of usability but definitely a negative for presentation and it takes away from the experience as a whole. I was really looking forward to trying Kissaki since it was on my radar for a while. Perhaps another location will provide a better spot experience.

Dined under the stars and loved every minute of it. Indulged in Uni Service to start, which came with scallion pancakes, scallion marmalade, jidori egg yolk jam and a horseradish creme frachie and it was heavenly. Couldn't skip out on getting a 9 piece nigiri flight. It was the perfect way to see chef's creativity on display while tasting what I firmly believe is the best sushi on the East End without question. One of my dinner guests was vegetarian and they were so accommodating and had lots of choices for him as well. The service was fabulous from start to finish and the sake selection was vast and my friend loved his Kosho Margarita. Can't wait to go back and also to check out Kissaki's pop up with Fish Cheeks in Montauk.

Unbelievable sushi and service, what an amazing restaurant. We had the Sake Maki, Spicy Tuna Maki, Ebi-Hamachi and the Akami & Avocado Crudo. Definitely try the Crab Toast and Seasonal Salad, everything is excellent. Can't wait to go back and see all the friendly faces and enjoy the sushi.

The food is actually great, but it took me a while to try it. I know it's hard to find a well-trained staff in Hamptons, especially off-season. Music selection doesn't match the place, but this is very subjective. Bathrooms need a little more attention. I wish I can add more pictures, but it doesn't come from the kitchen yet.

I am usually never one to leave reviews but I have to make an exception to vent. Heard good things about Kissaki from the NYC locations so was excited to go here for dinner to celebrate my 30th birthday in the Hamptons and made a reservation for a party of 14. We showed up right on time with high hopes but the dining experience went all downhill from there. Clearly this place was short staffed with only one cook in the kitchen along with four waiters that were struggling to serve tables when the place was only less than 30% at capacity. I tried to empathize if there was a valid circumstance because it is off-season time but there was no excuse for this disorganized and unprepared service when we made the reservation two months in advance. It took forever to place our orders foreshadowing the almost four long hours of our dinner from start to finish. I’ve never waited this long at a restaurant establishment ever let alone during a less than busy time. Nearly an hour in of waiting, waiters asked only a few of us who ordered the set course dinner if the cooked entree dish can served before the nigiri appetizer because “everyone else in the restaurant got sushi too so the cook was over capacity”. Not to mention the overpriced food was mediocre at best when it finally came out. The uni pasta tasted like straight butter doused in oil with no traces of uni. The sushi fish was subpar quality. Could tell the caviar on top of the nigiri was very fishy. One person in our party found hair on her fish. A few others noticed scales still on their fish pieces and a couple of us found long bones in the cod. We even waited almost another additional hour just for dessert. I am no professional chef by any means but I literally could’ve gone into the kitchen myself and used some elbow grease to help scoop freezer burned ice cream. And when it got time for the check, the bill was initially only comped for the six diet cokes we ordered along with the edamame and shishito peppers appetizers for the table which was served on the house to begin with due to the delayed wait. This dinner and the absurd service at this place was underwhelming. Do yourself a favor and do not come here at all. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

I don’t usually write a bad review but my experience was so terrible that I feel this restaurant deserve an honest review. - Despite a reservation, we had to sit outside because of 2 large parties indoor. Fine but when we went in to use the bathroom, there were many seatings available. - But then the bathroom was gross. - Asked the server to turn on the heater repeatedly, they didn’t turn it on until 2 hours later. It was cold and windy outside. How windy? The wind knocked the tablecloth and spilled my soy sauce on the table. That’s how windy it was. - What kind of sushi restaurant play clubbing music? It was loud and do not match the cuisine. - This is the part that made me write this review: we were hungry, sitting in the cold, and spent 2.5 hours there but still not getting all of our orders (came at 7:10pm and left at 9:30pm hangry). Our food that came very slowly and not in order nor explained by the server. - The sushi was made very sloppily and the food was not good. We had to cancel the rest of our order and asked for the bill after 2.5 hours. Despite this the bill was >$250 for 2 ppl. The restaurant didn’t offer any complimentary drinks while waiting and just said we’ll check with the kitchen. - By 9:30pm, we weren’t the only tables cancelling order, asking where the food is, and asking for the bill. There were 2 other parties next to us doing that. - Manager was nowhere to be seen to explain to the guests what’s going on. Needless to say, we ended up ordering pizza somewhere else. This restaurant is so poorly managed that I was angry for paying $250 on such a bad experience and wasted 2.5 hours being cold and hungry.

We made a reservation via open table. This is a second location that is also on a route 27 so make sure you show up at the correct one! We did not.. Once we arrived we were treated with terrific service. There were mixed reviews so we had skepticism but all in all we were impressed with the following: Croquettes appetizer Fresh sushi across the board Service What we didn't like was: Limited menu So all in all we give it a four. Will try again

God awful attempt at sushi. I've been eating sushi for 51 years and have to say I would rather eat gas station sushi. The staff have attitude and the concept of burning sushi with a blow torch is disgusting.

This place seems like it would be amazing, it has a lot of staff and we were seated as soon as we got there. The waitress wasn't able to answer some of our basic questions- such as "do you guys have eel" or if they would omakase at the table instead of the omakase room. She could have been new, which is fine, because she ended up coming back with her manager to answer our questions. Ambiance was amazing, loved everything about the place from the entrance to the DJs. They even do shows on certain nights, and sell tickets for certain DJs. Ordered the ebi -hamachi which was delicious. We got a complimentary Japanese cheesecake because we came for a birthday, and it was delicious. It takes 30 min to prepare per the waitress, but it came out nice and hot. We almost ordered a second one because it was that delicious. Would definitely come back, at least for the cheesecake!

The taste of the food is amazing but the portion sizes are so small and they charge a fortune for it. Normally a Wagyu beef dish comes with 3 skewers with three pieces on it. They tried bringing out the skewers with only 2 pieces on each stick and were the smallest pieces of meat ever. There explanation was, "We are sorry, we made a mistake." We ordered 2 of the Wagyu and the second one came out the same as the first. Utter disappointment. The food took forever to come out. Management did the right thing in the end.

was pleasantly surprised -after reading some bad reviews. We went on Tuesday- & had great service by Craig ( knowledgeable , friendly & very accommodating to our friends selfish allergies). I am local , but not been in new place- very cozy court yard with lights & beautiful bar & DR area inside. we had cucumber salad - it was sooo good i can eat it by the Galon !! hamachi crudo with oranges-was great, Pork ribs was tasty, Tomato salad with tofu was new take on tomato salad & we liked it. Roll Sake -Cu- was very delicious! may be on Saturdays its different or may be they heard complaints, but from start making reservations & to the end - we enjoy our dinner & want to come back to try the dessert.

I've been to pretty much every high end sushi place on the east coast. This is one of the worst. Great sushi and very expensive- I can accept that- kissaki is not only very expensive it's also very mediocre. Everything is over sauced . The fish quality is decent, definitely not low end, but it's just no better than average. The cooked food all arrived cold. Save your $ and go somewhere else

This is not an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant. Don't be fooled by the name. I've never been to such an empty place where there is nothing Japanese except the menu. I agree with the one star review in terms of quality and price. Although the fish is fresh, they double the order of a nine piece flight from $60 of nigiri to $116 without rice without telling you the price or confirming before charging you. Nothing special is done to make each piece of fish, which pales in quantity compared to other restaurants, to warrant creativity, omakase or a hefty price. It's just sashimi deluxe at best. The pretty pictures may draw you there, but walk out before you get sucked in with service that doesn't know or understand Japanese cuisine. Their selection of fish is so limited even when ordering sashimi omakase (chef's choice), which doesn't even exist on the menu. Plus, they had no uni for being an "uni dealer". The ambiance, music and staff are all not Japanese or even Asian. The reviews were likely written by those who haven't been to authentic Japanese restaurants, so this is all they know. The only saving grace is their service tries their best to accommodate requests like hand rolls and selection of drinks, including sake. I've never been so underwhelmed by a menu where I barely can order anything even a la carte. Parking is a bit of a loop to find unless you know to turn in before the restaurant into the back lot. I'll never come back for sure.

Very disappointing. Some kind of spin on Japanese sushi here. Not traditional at all. Sushi was small pieces for highway robbery prices. $18 for 1 piece? Yup! One piece! Yikes. Not even toro! This place boasts high inflated prices for mediocre food. Some Japanese fusion or sorts. I would not recommend this place if you're a true Japanese or sushi fan. It's all non-traditional and over priced. Spend over $100 easy on bad sushi. Dog friendly outside, but completely fooled here!

Small menu. Most sushi restaurants have multiple options. I felt this place was limited. I tried to sit at the empty sushi bar, and they said only if I do Omakase for $200 per person. When I left after my meal, sushi bar still empty. Doesn't make sense to me.

Located off the Montauk highway as it passes through Water Mill, close to Southampton is new this season Kissaki Sushi. Located behind the cute street front (look for and follow the dark blue signs) with adequate parking behind. The first in the Hamptons after its New York city sisters, Kissaki is majoring in an outdoor premium sushi dining experience leveraging the bricked sidewalks and adding strings of lights to make the dining experience light and airy. Cocktails are decent and the menu is excellent. They are, like every establishment finding their feet this summer and have a very strong weekend takeout service which any restaurant needs to Survive the current climate - if there is a wait between courses, be patient - better a short wait for outstanding sushi than no sushi at all... One of the major players in the restaurant is well know to those familiar with the NY nightlife scene and his focus is on getting the service and quality right and consistent as opposed to pushing for media attention and then not being able to deliver the goods - very sensible and a place worth adding to your repertoire of Hamptons dining immediately.

The food not worth the wait or the price. The service is slow and we waited 55 minutes to get the appetizers and drinks. Three tables complained at the same time for wrong food and also delay. The restaurant was only 1/2 full. Don't get me started on the incompetent manager. Plenty of good food in Hamptons. AVOID! Ambiance is not bad.

I ordered to go from kissaki on opening day and wouldn't be surprised if I was the first order. I was greeted by the owner, head chef and the counter people. Everyone was very nice and offered their thanks for my visit. The restaurant looks beautiful and I think once dining opens up it will be a great spot to dine at as well. I was in the area so I ordered to bring all the way home to nassau County and put my order in an ice box right when I got into my car.i really wanted to try this place since they were so generous with your donations to healthcare workers who were fighting covid 19 in NYC hospitals. I ordered two of the premium omakase maxi and one of the premium omakase Midi. I was able to pick the 5 piece futomaki roll that came with each. We had 1 Maguro Mama, 1 the sandy($20 extra) and 1 Ebi Hamachi. My favorite of the three by far was the Maduro mama the flavor was just excellent! I liked the flavor of the sandy but it was the only roll that was completely falling apart as we ate it which was a big minus The omakase came with edamame and miso soup. We all really enjoyed these appetizers, the miso soup is quite different from others I've had, its much darker and bolder, lots of depth of flavor. The edamame was perfectly steamed and salted. The omakase was served in a beautiful box and had very nice soft napkins and nice spoons for the soup. We all really enjoyed the omakase pieces they all were extremely fresh and flavorful. I really like the toro which melted in your mouth, the salmon and a bunch of others. Unfortunately I couldn't tell what some of the fish was and a description card would have been really cool! We topped this meal off with two taste creme cakes (been wanting to try these for awhile. We had hojicha and earl grey blueberry. We all felt the Earl Grey blueberry was far superior but would also like to try more flavors! Overall in my opinion you should definitely try this restaurant as tje quality is very good

SWING and a MISS..! WOW! Was looking forward to trying this place. I've lived out here for 42+ years and on L.I. For my entire life of 52 years. Anyways, The hostess was very pleasant, accommodating and easy on the eyes. It was a Monday evening and there were many empty tables as well as 2 people at the bar. We started with a drink and ordered quickly because we were hungry and didn't have a chance to eat lunch. 15 minutes past, nothing. 25 minutes,nothing... I asked if everything was ok and how much longer it would be until we received our food. They told me, "oh sorry, just 10 more minutes." So I then began to check my watch often and after 11 min, I called the waitress over to the table. "Is it ready,I asked politely?" "Let me check," she said, as she ran towards the kitchen. She then emerged and began walking towards our table. "Just 10 more minutes," she said. At this time I was getting aggravated and wanted to leave..! 10 more minutes passed and still nothing..! At this point I was so upset and hungry I asked for the manager on duty. They told me there is NO manager here and that it's her day OFF..! I said "ok then I think we will take the check please, this is ridiculous!" What a horrible experience to say the least..! There are many restaurants that I have seen come and go, and this place needs to GO..! Don't bother! Unless you'd like to become really upset and embarrassed in front of your friends who you told that the place was great! Never again...One word..!!! Booooooooo!!! And two words! BYE, BYE..!!!

Omakase experience. New chef has no clue what he's doing. They've lowered the price. Wish they had kept the higher price with the top notch chefs they used to have. Now it's a crap shoot what chef they will have and whether he knows what he's doing or not. Manager of the restaurant is a buffoon.

The food was fine. Not offensive but certainly not remarkable. We are here on a Tuesday, it was empty. The servers were attentive and we didn't wait long for anything. Reading these other reviews, I do find it ironic that people are surprised by the prices at a pop up restaurant in Water Mill, it sort of goes without saying. I definitely think that there are far less fancy restaurants with far better sushi for 1/4 the price.

Seriously don't go here. The manager is SO rude and the staff is miserable. They are also trying to run a nightclub while serving dinner - so have fun waiting 20 minutes for a drink AND two hours for your sushi. I seriously had a shockingly awful experience here - there are so many better places to spend your money.

Tiny portions, limited selection, staff that are so involved you are constantly interrupted. At one point we had 17 staff members looking at us while we dined. No one else was dining. Tables were moved, loud scheduling requests, and sky high prices combined with disappointing sushi made the experience one we won't repeat.

Was expecting SO much more for a sushi place in the Hamptons. My local sushi restaurant has fresher fish. Sushi left a fishy after taste. Entrees were not good either. I am a sushi fanatic & this fish was awful. The waiter also did not get our order right to top things off & didn't seem like she understood the menu. Very disappointed.

The entire dinner experience was wonderful. The ambiance, our server, and Chef Andrea! We got the luxury of being the only two omakase guests and that gave us an opportunity to learn about the restaurant and got to know our Chef more. The creativity and flavors of each piece were unmatched! People were polite, and the ambiance was perfect. Def recommend for a sushi night or in general, and will be checking out the Bowery location!

I love this place! Sushi is excellent and the price is incomparable really. Have gone here for couple of years now and it never disappoints me. The lunch specials are worth getting! The staff were friendly and always around if you needed something extra or another glass of water. If you're looking for great sushi for the family in NYC, look no further! Enjoy!!

Decent sushi given the location, but pricey and rather forgettable. Bonus points for outdoor seating, and quick service - inside ambiance was a little too dim for our liking.

Kissaki has been a lifesaver during covid in both the Hamptons and well as the city locations. They nailed the design of their takeout boxes, great selection (including vegetarian options) and ordering online or on the phone is always seamless for us. This particular location will always have a place in our hearts for how consistently they deliver. We are still pretty conservative on what activities we do during the pandemic so they are kind enough to truly deliver curbside delivery and always have been accommodating to any of our requests. Also, we eat fairly late and considering most places out East close early (compared to the city), appreciate that Kissaki is open late. Food is consistent delicious, always happy to try new things and look forward to supporting the business for years to come!

Not sure what the positive reviews are basing their experience on for this Watermill location but this is average food court sushi at high end prices. Go to Sen in Sag instead. However the cocktails were great.

We appreciate that Yelp has flagged this business for "Suspicious Review Activity", a warning to the public to avoid this establishment. Unfortunately, at a friend's invitation, we had dinner at Kissaki last night - it was an extraordinarily abysmal experience. This is a restaurant which clearly needs "fake" reviews; the food is dreadful and wildly over priced. Our meal began with the hamachi crudo and the tuna avocado tartare. The crudo was embarrassing - four slivers of tasteless, texture less fish drowned in an acidic, bitter ponzu sauce. The tuna tartare was bizarre - a unattractive quacamole styled glop with bits of tuna strewn about. Sushi cut rolls were horrendous, five tiny pieces which were tasteless and, in the case of a spicy tuna roll, had a disturbing off flavor. Kissaki ranks among the worst sushi we have ever had - and at these predatory prices, is at the top of the "do not go" list. Unfortunately, we now have a first hand understanding of the warning issued by Yelp.

Hmmm...where do I start. The $400+ bill for two people, which by the way we are okay with paying as long as the experience is worth it. This wasn't. I am specifically mentioning the water mill location. Service was poor. First no one came to take our order. We had to flag someone after 20 mins of drinking water. Then they got one of the orders wrong and they bought it later towards the end of the meal. I don't think it takes that long to scorch shishito peppers. But the really disappointing bit, the dessert which is advertised as a two layer mini cake came out with only one thin layer. The audacity to charge a small cake with whipped cream on top $18 when that is not even what's on the menu is pure deception. Really disappointed and definitely not worth the hype.

Over the course of this summer, I've tried numerous restaurants in the Hamptons and this by far was the biggest disappointment. I made a reservation on Tock (and paid $100/person in advance) for Omakase in their veranda. I was really looking forward to this meal as I'd seen great reviews and I haven't had omakase since before COVID. Our reservation was for 8:30pm and a few hours before, I got an email from them saying my reservation was changed to 9pm. Since I did not initiate this change, I tried calling (they never picked up) and emailing them to ensure my reservation was still for 8:30pm. They eventually emailed back to confirm the 8:30pm time. When we arrived at 8:25pm they asked us if we wanted to be inside or outside, which I found strange since my reservation was specifically for outside and I had made sure not to choose the indoor option when making the reservation. I told them we were only comfortable sitting outside and they said they were "slammed outside" and we would have to wait for a while, but they would not even give us an estimate. All in all, the wait ended up being 17 minutes which was not terrible, but it would have been nice to have an estimate. While we were waited to be seated, we already started to notice how slow and inattentive the service was. We overheard numerous tables asking for items they'd ordered because they never showed up. Once we were seated, we began to experience the poor service as well. I had three people in my party and I told them that only I would be doing the kosher omakase and everyone else would do the normal menu. The sushi was brought out 2 pieces at a time which was nice since it was somewhat similar to a normal bar seating omakase experience. However, the rice was cold. I was unsure if that was solely because we weren't sitting at the counter or if they intended to make it like that, so I wrote that off as a mistake due to COVID. After several rounds of pieces, I realized that everyone seemed to be receiving the kosher omakase, so I mentioned this to our waiter and asked him to double check that the other people in my party would receive the normal menu. He assured me that they would be getting the regular non-kosher pieces, but that they just hadn't come out yet. While the fish was clearly great quality and tasted great, the pieces were severely lacking in diversity and creativity. We had probably about 4-5 pieces of tuna and 3-4 pieces of salmon. Although they were all a different cut, or had different toppings, it felt very homogeneous. They used the same fish over and over and the same toppings over and over, but mixed and matched a little differently. There was limited creativity with the pieces compared to other high-end omakases I have had. Finally, we receive our last pieces of sushi, and still no non-kosher pieces for the rest of my group. I again mentioned this to the waiter and he pretended like nothing was abnormal and did not admit that they got something wrong, which was incredibly frustrating. All in all, this omakase was far smaller than others we've had, and other people in my group were still hungry. Our waiter told us the dessert would be a matcha crepe, which we were all excited for. However, he then brought out a much less exciting dish of custard and a floral gelatin. When I asked if the gelatin was vegetarian/kosher, he had to go check which was a little concerning that they were going to serve it to me without ensuring that it met my dietary restrictions that they said they could accommodate. Throughout the whole the night service was really lacking. The waiter did not know very much about the items he served us. Additionally, after we finished our cocktails, no one ever came by to ask us if we'd like another. The whole experience did not feel authentic. As a $200/person omakase this is not even close to worthwhile and it was very disappointing.

Sushi was good, very fresh. The restaurant is on the expensive side due to the location but worth the try. They have a personal size Dulce De Leche cake that is to die for! The best cake in town! Highly recommend trying the cake.

Had a delicious Omakase. Happy to finally have some high quality sushi in the area. We had the Omakase premium. A splurge, but each piece was delicious. We ordered take out. Just disappointed that only one portion of ginger and wasabi were included given we had three meals, but the actual sushi was delicious.

Long awaited sushi dinner with the family was a solid experience with a few down points. The food overall was very good. Oysters (east and west coast) were delicious - especially the east coast. Ebi-Hamachi was solid and fresh. Futomaki and Nigiri were also good. Miso soup (which we got only because we were concerned we might not have ordered enough food to fill us up) was surprisingly complex and wonderful. The filet of beef (served with mandolined Japanese sweet potato au gratin) was wonderful and much larger than we expected for a 6 oz cut of meat. Cooked perfectly as well. Chiffon cake dessert (we selected the mango version) was a little too cold but still delicious. Down points: The overall noise volume can get excruciating. 85-90dB decibels was the range as we finished our dessert and left. The NYC Subway reaches 90-100dB so that should give you some idea of what you'll be in for when they are busy with loud guests. Some of the food (specifically dishes we ordered as appetizers) came well after some of our main sushi dishes which threw us. And the drink prices can be somewhat obscene. One of us ordered a simple, basic (off-menu) Cosmo. When the bill came, they charged $23.00 for that drink which was significantly higher than most of their other set cocktails. Although the wait staff was extremely good, including the supporting staff, I would have expected a price call-out for that drink given its much higher price. $46 for two Cosmos is completely WRONG -- 10% of our entire dinner?? Hopefully they will straighten that out, but it's on me for not saying something in the moment...

I went with my boyfriend on a date, we were sat right away. Our waitress Chor was very hospitable. Try the fried rice was incredible we also tried the ribs and uni pasta, all were incredible. I don't eat raw fish but my boyfriend said the sushi was incredible.

We did the full 20 piece omakase menu at the counter and had a great experience! Each side of the counter had their own sushi chef & every dish was high quality. Inside seating is spaced out & they have clear dividers in between every table. Highly recommend!

Living in the middle of Long Island, I always had to go to the city for real omakase sushi. It's nice to find a place that is easier to get to than manhattan. Still an hour drive it was much easier to get to. Food was great and I will be going back!

This place is absolutely fantastic! I've never had the option of an uni tray before at any restaurant- but they have 2! Everything was incredible, from the staff to the cuisine. We called in late one evening, and they managed to squeeze us in for a reservation of 6 an hour later. We all got the premium omakase, and no one could stop talking about how fresh the fish was. Each bite was methodically thought out and exceptionally executed. Will be going back as many times as I possibly can!

Our server was great. The food was awesome. Overall, the experience during covid was lovely. The table next to us was loud and obnoxious but I couldn't really hold that against the restaurant.

Always a great meal at Kissaki, been to the Upper West Side and Greenwich CT locations. The Water Mill Hamptons location offers outdoor seating, and a beautiful indoor setting. Although we were limited to certain items due to an onion allergy in my party, some of our highlights included the Uni Pasta, Hamachi Crudo, and highly recommend the 8 Piece Nigiri Flight per person. The sushi is amazing, fresh and high quality. Make sure to save room for dessert. Highly recommend the Japanese Cheesecake, which is served warm and reminiscent of a souffle. Make sure to get the soy caramel sauce on the side, as the sauce was too salty and overpowering for my tastes, and definitely not needed.

Fish quality is amazing, no doubt about!!! Service not good, only waiter available and very aggressive since introduction, he got mad because nobody was drinking (we had some beer though), kids food took too long and all spicy (jalapeño) - it was in menu, but a great waiter must say that! No kids friendly! No substitution! They charged us 7 water bottles, 5 still plus 2 sparkling. No one had sparkling, besides 5 big water bottles is a way too much, right? Last but not least, 20% gratuity included gave us no option to really rate our dinner. Most of us know how to do math, we hate when guys like that try to operate us (all in finance here!)

A much needed addition to the area. The staff is extremely welcoming and hospitable and the menu is large enough to accommodate different palates. The grilled hamachi and crispy brussel sprouts were standouts. Everything on the menu is fresh and I appreciate their authentic green and black teas. I'm happy to hear these guys will open a permanent Hamptons location. Apparently they only started in January- they definitely know what they're doing!

Ok So I was all hyped about going to this restaurant Since it was being hailed as The sushi Place to go Took my 3 sons who adore sushi and my boyfriend and my mother for a special eve The service was ok not exceptional and the setting was ok/nice except for the music being too loud which for being outside is a shame The menu selection is not very exciting but we ordered many maki rolls , the fried chicken and shrimp tempura So the 2 stars are for the fried chicken which was a thumbs up from my crew who are friend chicken connoisseur As for the sushi it was very very underwhelming Absolutely no flavor , so bland we could not tell which was what all tasted the same. Also strangely all the fish was so finely chopped that it was mushy , very odd . The only way I can describe this sushi is Sad . The shrimp tempura was passable but no sauce came with it. We ordered one of the chiffon cakes , the mango coconut one and again no flavor ! I could not taste any mango or coconut which is a feat because those are 2 strong components in any dessert, it was just sweet and cream with sponge cake. I will obviously not return especially since it was not cheap . Our special night turned very blah as our excitement fell flat .

The manager should be fired because he was an embarrassment to this establishment, the wait staff shouldn't have to suffer under his regime. We had an 8:30 reservation didn't get sat for 30 minutes, didn't get drinks for 2 hours and then got all the wrong food. My friend is allergic to avocado and he gave my friend avocado and then charged her for it. Only compted a Diet Coke and treated them like shit. He wore horrible pants. Terrible to the group overall. Then went to the bar and bought girls drinks like he couldn't afford to comp us. 3 sushi chefs quit that day. A waitress was crying during our meal. I wonder why. He tried to bribe our group of 12 with 3 shrimp. He obviously doesn't understand math. I could not be more annoyed by this experience and I am telling you this will be the worst experience of your life so save yourself anguish. I do not write reviews unless someone really goes above and beyond to be a vindictive asshole. Don't come here.

For some reason the Hamptons doesn't have amazing sushi, but that seems to be changing with Kissaki. Their Omakase has a reasonable amount of food, and while it isn't cheap, it feels priced appropriately for what you get at this type of location. The quality is excellent - definitely better than the other local spots I've tried over the years. Ambience is fun. It feels lively and vibrant without feeling crowded or "too much". My only complaint is that you can't get a few rolls here without overspending, but to be fair, that isn't the type of restaurant they're trying to be. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice evening with quality sushi and great vibes.
