"This casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot called Kosaka is located near The Container Store in Flatiron with counter seating that wraps around an area where the chefs prepare all your sushi. And just like America’s foremost Organization Consortium, Maki Kosaka’s perfectly-plated makimono sushi sets will remind you that an orderly, minimalist aesthetic is extremely pleasing to your brain. You can get handroll sets with things like seared scallop and bluefin toro, or you can order what you want à la carte." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Maki Kosaka, the more affordable offshoot of Michelin-starred omakase spot Kosaka, is one of the neighborhood’s top options for downing sushi in a pretty, flower-filled space thanks to the plant shop connected to the restaurant. There are over a dozen versions of stuffed temaki rolls and “grab” sushi served with sheets of toasted nori seaweed for customers to use to scoop up the fish and rice. Or, let the restaurant do the choosing for you with two different under-$50 set sushi meals." - Melissa McCart
"Maki Kosaka in Flatiron is the casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot called Kosaka on West 13th, which means you can expect quality fish at lower prices. They have two types of handrolls here: temaki and “grab” sushi, which are pieces of beautifully constructed nigiri that you scoop up with crisp Saga nori sheets. Have your next date night here—the big wrap-around sushi bar has enough space to give you some privacy, and there’s a lush plant shop in the front that feels like their unofficial front porch." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
