Mojo East

We went here for a girls night out to have the omikase tasting menu. It was delicious! When you come in everyone sits at the counter where their are convenient hooks for your purse or bag. The set up is nice with a holder for your chopsticks and a refreshing wipe for your hands. Each section of 4-6 people has their own sushi chef that asks for your restrictions then prepares each piece for you. Our chef was great and prepped a separate piece for me when everyone else was on their Wagyu bite. The pieces were bursting with flavors. The rice was cooked to perfection. It is truly a tasting journey and by the end you are comfortably full. At the end, in case you haven't had enough, they check to see if you would like to order any more of the tasty pieces a la carte. This is a no tipping establishment, which I love because it means that they are paying their workers a fair wage and have everything included in the pricing... oh how I wish everyone would catch up! I am already making plans to return :)

Obsessed with omakase & Mojo East delivered. Casual and clean spot, offering a 13-course omakase experience for $55 with a no tipping policy. Such an affordable price. The sakari yuzu sake was refreshing and sweet. My personal favorites were the salmon-foie gras, A5 Wagyu, ikura, and the shrimp-sea urchin. Thank you so much to the staff, the service was beyond, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. I’ll absolutely be back.

Ambiance (5/5): The establishment goes deep with one chef’s table in the front (~14) and then another in the back. The decorations are minimalist but clean and welcoming. The chairs are nested super close to each with hardly any elbow space. Service (5/5): Consistent service with the drink refills along with plate clearing. I was asked if we had any allergies and I said I didn’t eat shrimp (heard a party note that she didn’t eat wagyu). The chef accommodated both of us! There is a fun part in the middle where the sparkle dust is sprayed in front of you (so if you have asthma or sensitivities be warned!) The pace of the food felt super quick (under an hour) with hardly any wait in between each dish. If you don’t finish the prior one, they start stacking up! No tipping service! Food: Was it the best sushi? Probably not. There was only one piece (idk what, that replaced my shrimp item) that was disgustingly fishy. Everything else tasted very fresh and savory. Most of the fish already pre-sliced but there was some prep to the garnishes. Due to the pace, don’t expect an experience, but it was a good value for the meal.

Absolutely amazing experience every time! The fish is unbelievably fresh—far better than anywhere else we’ve tried, even for large events. Chef Jay is incredibly friendly, professional, and truly cares about his customers. From my very first visit, he made me feel so welcome and well taken care of. Since then, I’ve become a regular. The quality of the fish is outstanding, and the prices are very affordable. Hands down one of the best sushi spots around. Highly recommend! 🍣

$55 for 13 courses—great value for what you get! My favorites were the Chu-toro (med-fatty tuna), Salmon-Foie Gras, Orata (sea bream), and the Unagi (eel). Would definitely want to come back another time to try out what they change in the menu seasonally. The staff were also very nice and attentive the entire time. They ask for dietary restrictions and allergies before the start of the omakase session. The person sat next to me was gluten-free, and the chef made accommodations and prepared the GF food separately throughout the meal.

We were a party of three for their "Omakase Set". It is a set of 13 courses. They were really good. The flavors were really good and tasty. Some of the best I have tried. Totally recommend. The only comment I will add is that you will get satisfied but if you are hungry, you might need to grab a small bite afterwards. The staff was amazing and helpful. Very accommodating to allergies and preferences like if you don't eat wasabi or anything spicy (as long as you met them know)

I absolutely loved this place. Chef Paul served us. Truly amazing chef and knowledgeable in everything he gave us to try. I came here with a friend and we enjoyed every single piece. Every bite was flavorful, well balanced, fresh and the ingredients they use are high quality. I will be coming back here again with other friends and yerning to experience this meal again and again. The value is unmatched and truly an unforgettable moment. The service is equally as impecable, the establishment is clean and quick and very welcoming. Every single staff member was kind and attentive.

Mojo East delivers a refined, intimate dining experience that balances precision, creativity, and restraint—hallmarks of a top-tier omakase. Each of the 13 courses feels intentional, with impeccable product quality and thoughtful progression that keeps the palate engaged without overwhelming it. The chef’s technique is confident, allowing the ingredients—particularly the fish—to speak for themselves, while subtle touches elevate rather than distract. The setting enhances the experience: minimalist, calm, and focused on the counter, reinforcing the sense of trust central to omakase dining. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, striking the right balance between explanation and discretion. Overall, Mojo East stands out as a destination for those who value craftsmanship, consistency, and an elevated yet unpretentious approach to Japanese fine dining.

New York has a lot of these budget omakase places ("budget" meaning less than $75/pp). Mojo definitely falls in that, at $55 with tip included. At that price, I'd say it's cheaper than some of its competitors (SHINN, etc.) which are typically around $69-75/pp, and some pre-tip as well. Overall the fish was quite high quality, particularly at the price point, and we were seated promptly. Another benefit is that unlike some of the other spots, they have some additional seating so if you come early, you can wait inside and sit down (versus having to wait outside or crammed by the wall). I'd definitely put Mojo up there as one of my top budget omakase places.

To celebrate our last full day in New York, my boyfriend treated me to an omakase. We were both a little disappointed that we hadn't made a reservation earlier, so we decided to look for something available that same day. Luckily, Mojo East was still taking reservations. We came in at 9 p.m. and were seated in order based on who booked first. We were the second pair, so we were seated right after the first couple. The staff was friendly and attentive. They offered us water right away and took our drink orders. Chef Ryan served us that evening with a 13-course omakase. He was engaging, very knowledgeable about the fish, and it was interesting to watch how he prepared each piece. Toward the end, they asked if we wanted to order a few extra pieces, which came at an additional cost depending on what we chose. We decided on the salmon with foie gras, which ended up being my favorite of the night. Overall, we'd definitely come back. The experience was enjoyable, fairly priced for an omakase, and a great way to end our trip on a last minute hunt for an omakase on a Monday.

This place is all over my instagram and Tiktok and it has been on my bestie's and I's list for a while now. We made a last minute reservation for 6 pm on Halloween. The whole experience was about 1 hour and there is 12 different courses and a handroll at the end. It is $55 with tips included. They were all fairly young and I will say they move pretty quick compared to other omakase experiences that I have been to which are about 90 minutes. I really like how they had the menu next to you so you knew exactly what you are eating and you can order more at the end if you like it. I was shocked at how good everything was for the price. All the fishes were super fresh and flavorful and really melted in your mouth. The sauces were not overpowering. They only torched a like two or three pieces of fish which was nice. Even though everything moved very quickly you did not feel rushed at all. At the end you got to order extra items - we decided to get the Mojo East Special which was with Waygu, Toro and Uni and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Overall - great sushi for the pricing. Highly recommend if you are just getting into omakase and do not know if you want to splurge for the super expensive places.

This place is decent but not great.... I would say it may be one of the best priced omakase joints in all of NYC but they used a lot of blow torch and I left a bit hungry afterwards... Would I go back? Maybe... but would be sampling the larger omakase meal next time. Excellent sake menu tho.

Mojo East is proof that you don't need to drop $$ to enjoy an incredible omakase experience in NYC. For just $55, you get beautifully presented, high-quality sushi that rivals some of the city's pricier spots -- all in a welcoming, unfussy atmosphere that makes the experience feel refreshingly authentic. Every piece of fish was exceptionally fresh, perfectly balanced, and artfully prepared. You can tell the chefs take real pride in the details -- from the gentle brush of soy to the delicate cuts that highlight each flavor. The progression of courses was thoughtful and left me full, happy, and seriously impressed. I also really appreciate their no-tipping policy -- the price you see is the price you pay, which makes the whole experience feel transparent and stress-free (and honestly, a little more Japanese in spirit). By the end of the meal, I felt like I'd taken a quick trip to Tokyo -- a reminder that truly memorable sushi experience. Mojo East is a hidden gem that deserves a permanent spot on every NYC sushi lover's list. Will certainly be going back!

2nd time here and still a great sushi place for LES neighborhood. Recommended this business to a bunch of friends already. Will be returning again!

I absolutely love this place! I came here with my friend and instantly fell in love with the food. The vibe is simple but super cute -- definitely gives cozy sushi spot energy. We were so excited to try the 13-course meal for only $55, and it did not disappoint! As soon as we got the first roll, I was like... okay, I'm in love with the chef The sushi was so fresh and full of flavor -- honestly, I've never had anything like it. If I could, I'd come back every day!

Must try! High quality and worth your money. We came for their 13 course meal worth $55 with no tipping (policy) and loved it! All their chefs and staff seem pretty young, probably in their early twenties. Perhaps they're sushi chefs in training. However, the sushi, service and ambience were excellent. We had a great experience overall and would return. You're given a list of the courses beforehand so you know what you're being served. All of our courses were fresh and delicious. There wasn't a single piece we didn't love.

13 course omakase for $55 with a no tipping policy. I won an instagram giveaway and got a free meal for my friend and I. The space is nice and bright, which allowed for good pictures. However, the seats are packed in so to get in, you'd have to pull the chair out, sit on it, and somehow pull yourself to the counter while on the chair, which is especially hard if people are sitting next to you. Otherwise, service was good. Chef asked if anyone had any allergies and also checked if the rice and wasabi level was ok after the first piece. Meal was done in approximately 45 minutes. Overall, the fish was fine, nothing that was distinctly fishy and none that were sweet. The wagyu had a distinct fat cap where you couldn't even see the marbling. My favorite pieces were the orata, which was topped with chili crisp and provided a different flavor profile with a mild crunch, and the toro handroll which was mixed with some veggies which provided a good texture.

After winning a giveaway, I got the opportunity to check out Mojo East for the first time. They have 2 sections with the main bar on the left and a smaller section in the back. There are hooks under the counter to hang your bags, etc. (this is a basic necessity imo for omakase - so a plus here) The staff were nice and the service was good! The staff were attentive and kept refilling our waters without us asking. The chefs entertain you with a spritz of gold powder in the middle of the course when they ask you to hold one of the nigiris on your fist. They also had no tipping. 5/5! I would rank Mojo East as entry level. If you never had omakase before, this would be a good option to get exposed. The price is decent for starters ($55/person) for 13 courses compared to others in the city. As for the food, my husband and I felt that the rice was flavored too strong, which overpowered the taste of the fish. The wagyu piece I had was chewy and had a residual tendon that was a bit unpleasant. They use Japanese wagyu, which I thought would be smooth and tender but maybe it's the cut or the specific piece I had. Some of the nigiris that I thought were unique and enjoyed was the salmon w/ foie gras. Other ones I enjoyed were the unagi w/ avocado, ebi-uni, sawara, chu-toro, and scallop. Overall, the price point, no tipping, good service and staff, offering a few interesting nigiris, attempts to entertain, with menu rotations, make it a place worth checking out for a beginner omakase'r.

We made a reservation with Mojo East to try their affordable 13-course omakase for $55. I was intrigued because they also had a no tipping policy. Our chef asked regarding level of wasabi, but then gradually became heavier handed, so I had to tell him to adjust the level of wasabi again. There was a random piece where the chefs placed the nigiri on our hand and he sprayed edible glitter on it. And for their unagi piece it was topped with avocado puree which was lovely. Another piece that stood out to me was the salmon-foie gras as it was torched long enough to create a nice fatty and smokey flavor. Overall, the quality is great deal for the price point and I would recommend it for those who want to get into the omakase experience. There is one unisex bathroom in the back.

I booked a reservation and there was a small mix-up at first, but the staff quickly made up for it. Once seated, the service was excellent. The team was energetic, attentive, and really enhanced the omakase experience. We came on a Friday night, and the vibe was lively like being in a club. There was a birthday being celebrated so they were extra loud. The upbeat music and atmosphere made it feel more like a fun night out than a traditional quiet sushi spot. For $55, the omakase was solid. The fish was not fishy tasting. The only piece I didn't like was the uni sweet shrimp, but everything else was enjoyable. Overall, the food was good for the price and worth trying.

Really great experience! Fresh fish, friendly staff and amazing price $55 for 13 courses. Warm atmosphere and got some nice sake to pair with fish. We also ordered an extra special uni, so buttery! I loved all , especially scallop and fatty tuna. Definitely will be back!!

Came here on a weeknight and loved it. Quality of the food was great for the price. Standard counter service where you are able to see the chef make each course. It is definitely a quick dining experience since they want you to leave fairly quickly after the last course unless you order extras. The interior of the restaurant is nice. There's two different counters to sit at - one closer towards the entrance and another t smaller counter at the back of the restaurant.

RATING: 3.5/5 - Mojo East is a pretty decent size spot. They have the front counter seating and a back bar area that was pretty cramped since they squeezed 8 ppl. The pieces taste pretty standard + the price is probably the best factor. My FAVE pieces were the Ebi Uni, Gindara (a flambéd piece), Salmon Foie Gras (also flambéd), and Hotate (Scallop). I felt that the pieces that were flambéd had another level of charred flavor, yum! The Otoro piece has a gold spray schtick, but it's nbd. In fact, the gold also got all over my belongings. Fun tidbit, but not super necessary! The chef was overall great! You're able to request more/less wasabi on your piece and staff came around to ensure everyone's beverages were refreshed. In terms of comfort, I felt that they tried to squeeze as many seats as they can. Overall, I think Mojo East is good for first time omakase goers! Otherwise, an ok spot for a very affordable omakase exp.

$55 bucks for a meal is still quite a doozy. But $55 for a omakase really isn't bad at all. This omakase concept has really taken hold on NYC for a while and doesn't seem to have found an end yet, not that I'm hoping for it to be so. It's to our benefit as the consumer to eat omakase well and all this competition is making it easier to do so. Mojo East was one of the better Omakase's I've had, the skill level of the chef is higher than what I would say I've been used to as these budget onakases. The service was very good, I arrived early and got seated earlier which was nice. Checkout was quick and no tipping which is nice for a change.

Won an Instagram giveaway and was able to try the 13 course omakase. It was a pleasant experience. We were in and out within 45 minutes and did not feel rushed at all. I really enjoyed the Gindara (black cod) which for me I haven't seen much at other sushi places. Also, the Ebi-uni combo was perfection, super fresh. I think they tried to be innovative with some of the toppings and it either took away the natural taste of the fish or the flavors just didn't meld together. I would recommend this to first timers of omakase since it's affordable especially with the no tipping policy. Overall, a no-frills minimal decoration spot, but everything looks clean and probably the biggest omakase counter space I've seen yet.

Ugh loveee. My first omakase experience and it certainly lived up to my expectations. 13-course omakase for $55 and they have a no-tipping policy. It's almost like watching a show :0 Everything was DELICIOUS. Honorable mentions: suzuki (incredibly fresh), o-toro (torched to perfection and amazing flavor), orata had a super nice chili topping that was not overwhelmingly spicy (flavor was insane), ebi-uni (shrimp had a super smooth texture and the uni on top was AMAZING - perfect combo), A5 wagyu (who doesn't like wagyu?) I think the only one I wasn't too crazy about was the scallop but seriously, everything was soo fresh and the glaze over each piece was so good. The wasabi amount was perfect. I enjoyed both the torched and raw pieces. The torched ones had such a nice fiery taste and the raw ones had amazing texture. Also, a lot of the pieces had yuzu on it (not sure if it's like a seasonal summer thing) but it was quite good and refreshing. The staff were all super friendly too. Great service - they even wiped our plates of the sauce mid way (for pics?). I would think it'd be a cute spot for a date night. I fear I'm spoiled now. I need more omakase. Now.

I've been to Mojo East twice now, and honestly, it's one of the best omakase deals you can find in New York City. The quality of the fish is excellent, the presentation is thoughtful, and I love that it's a no-tipping spot -- it makes the whole experience feel easy and relaxed without sacrificing quality. That said, I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of my most recent visit with my husband. There was a new chef that evening who sprayed edible glitter on one of the sushi pieces, and unfortunately, the glitter went everywhere -- including all over us. My husband had just gotten a new white shirt and sweater, and he was pretty distraught. The staff apologized, but it would've been nice to see a bit more acknowledgment or a small gesture to make up for it. Still, Mojo East remains a great spot overall -- the omakase is fresh, creative, and such a great value for NYC. I'd definitely go back (maybe just skip the glitter next time!).

super yummy and affordable 13 course omakase! it was $55 with no tipping policy, ended up to be around $60 with taxes. each piece of sushi was amazing. I was also able to request little wasabi which i appreciated very much. my favorite was the sea bream with garlic oil. the chef explained each item too! omakase is always such a fun experience :) the environment was quiet yet not uncomfortably quiet, as i was able to talk to my friends at a good volume. also took some notes when i was eating so id remember 1. Yuzu, subtle citrusy note 2.umami, roasty, smokey, really yummy 3. Good 4. Chutoro, good and glittery! garnished with gold powder(?) 5. Seared, warm and yummy 6. Sweet tasting ikura, not super salty 7. Garlic oil, fav of night, super savory !! 8. Sweet uni, not very briney or tastes like ocean. texture slimey tho 9. foie gras makes me feel bad but this one also had truffle salt so i didnt like the taste as much (i dont like truffle at all) 10. Scallop w lime zest, very mild citrus flavor 11. Wagyu, savory 12. Sweet unagi with guac, surprisingly works 13. Hand roll, seaweed was crunchy, overall yummy

For $55/pp (and no tip), Mojo East is a great bang for your buck omakase spot. My favorite pieces were the salmon-foie gras, the gindara (with chili oil!) and the A5 Wagyu with black truffle. The chef had a heavy hand with the wasabi but after we asked him to adjust, the pieces after were delicious! Be warned that you won't be full after the 13 pieces - we went home & had dumplings to fill us up haha. Each seating is only 1 hour so get there on time as they won't wait for you. (They'll just put your pieces on your plate). It's run "efficiently" but uncomfortably so. My only irritation with this place was that they seated us initially towards the middle of the counter but then minutes later, asked us to move to the end because they had an influencer coming to shoot content for them. Didn't enjoy sitting next to someone vlogging their whole dining experience. Overall, this place is great if you want omakase and you're on a budget!

I went into this with lower expectations, because I had won their summer giveaway. A lot of omakase spots tend to give a different menu or compromise on quality for giveaway winners, so I didn't want to be disappointed. Mojo East proved otherwise! The spot is rather spacious, with ~10-12 seats in the front, but they also have a table in the back. They are quite organized with the check-in process and I was seated pretty quickly. Even as a no-tipping establishment, which they really do refuse, they provided stellar service. The 13-course started off with the lighter fish and flavors and worked its way up to more elevated and intricate. Each nigiri had a perfect ratio of fish to rice. The rice was well-seasoned with the right amount of vinegar. They're a little heavy on the wasabi, but I personally enjoyed it. You could also tell them to adjust the level of wasabi if it doesn't suit your palate. The chefs were very charismatic and interactive, even providing a show for some of the pieces. My favorite pieces were probably the Hotate (scallop), Ebi-Uni, and Salmon Belly with Foie Gras. A strong contender was the Unagi nigiri tho. Initially thought they dolloped a heap of wasabi on top, but it turned out to be avocado crema, which is their take on an eel avocado roll. The pieces were all delicious and everything seemed rather fresh. Quality is actually very solid especially as its price point. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would probs come back here regularly!

Made a reservation for 4 for 9 pm two days in advance. The ideal times are booked out so far in advance! We got there a bit early and had to wait in a very cramped area. We got the menu for the 13 dishes and it was a very splendid experience. Our chef, Ryan, was so kind and made the experience feel very intimate and always asked us how we liked it. It was so good and when they use the fire it is such a show! The fish tasted so fresh and delicious, just melted in the mouth. It was absolutely worth $55 with their no tip policy and I also felt very full afterwards. The server always filled our water and the bathrooms were very clean. This was a perfect first omakase experience.

Went for an omakase experience. It was for $55 and no tips needed. Definitely worth the experience! Loved the sushi! Staff was very friendly. It gets busy and reservations highly recommended. They have different seating timings. They also have a separate back seating.

I'll be honest... I didn't have high expectations going in since I had won a giveaway for a free omakase for 2. Normally, it's $55 for 13 courses, which is already a great deal. Plus, no tipping culture? Love that!!! But I was genuinely surprised by how fresh the fish was. The overall experience was really solid. The only downside was the rice, some of the pieces fell apart a little too easily and we did feel a bit rushed toward the end since the next seating was basically standing there waiting for us to wrap up. I ordered a bottle of sake and tried their Lucky Chicken IPA--both were great. We also added on a few extra pieces and ended up paying $165 total. Definitely worth it. I'd come back and recommend it for sure--super affordable and quality all around.

I haven't had omakase in so long and this $55 13-course was so worth it! Can you believe it's that cheap? And you also don't even have to tip. All of the nigiri was fresh and prepared in front of us at their long and spacious bar. The course includes pieces like akami, o-toro, gindara, ebi-uni, A5 Wagyu, unagi, a hand roll, and more! My favorite piece was the salmon-foie gras as it was torched to create a nice fatty flavor. They have two bathrooms inside and one table, which seems like it was set aside for a walk-in party. Make sure to book your reservation because the bar was full and they've been gaining so much traction lately!

I came here with a party of 2. This is a $55 non-tipping omakase establishment. It is a 13 course omakase and all the pieces were delicious! We were seated on the hour, so definitely don't come late. Service was good, no complaints there. Quality of the fish was good too! I would say it's a great value for what it is in NYC. Would come back!

Although I won an omakase via instagram giveaway, this will be an honest review. they have an omakase that's 13 pieces for $55pp (and no tip!) which is a decent price. Everyone was very nice and the ambiance is very casual and cozy , easy to just grab in the afternoon or dinner spot. I loved all the pieces, they were decent sized but still bite sized. The sushi chef was very enthusiastic about each piece, he presented to us. My favorite was the gindara (sea bass), the ebi + uni and surprisingly the eel as well :) And we also got the mojo special which has wagyu, toro, scallop and uni which was amazing!! there is one piece that i wasn't able to take a photo of , since they place it on your hand while they spray gold dust onto it but it was delicious nonetheless. I'd recommend this to a friend who is just starting to get into trying out omakase spots. I've had more creative and interesting sushi pieces so this is not exactly exciting but it was still delicious!

My partner took me on a surprise date here recently. Excellent omakase at a very reasonable price point! The bites were all delicious, and I'd say my favorites were the Sawara, Salmon Foie Gras, Wagyu, and the Unagi. Excited to return sometime soon!

Pretty solid experience!! Perhaps it's because I've had pricier higher end omakase that I notice these differences but I definitely enjoyed the quality/freshness of items served, presentation, and service of the pricier establishments more than this one. Granted, this is extremely affordable options and still such a great option but definitely worth it to spend a higher amount to get better quality and selection of items. The meal felt quite short and wasn't as filling as it could've been as well.

Decent sushi for a great price! The sushi themselves were pretty good and the flavors were nice. I liked the nori paste a lot. The chili oil was a bit strange and a bit much, but overall it was good.

Exceptional experience for $55. They run this restaurant like an amusement park on its peak efficient rush hour. At the hour mark, the restaurant that is filled to the brim clears out and makes way for the next group of people who have reservations. Everyone is called by the order they arrive and they are quickly ushered into their seats, firmly pushed in (like buckling up a seat belt on a roller coaster), and the menus are distributed shortly after that. The 13 hour omakase is really great for someone who has only experienced omakase 1 or 2 times before. The chefs are friendly and well paced. There are some flavors that have me surprised, which is the marker of a really good meal. Their sake is smooth and there's something for everyone. We came at 9pm, towards the end of the restaurant's hours and the energy was lively. They were attentive to our sake cups & the energy of the staff was infectious. My best meal--from food to experience--of the summer so far.

If you aren't sure whether you'll like an omakase experience and don't want to spend too much money, this is the place to go. Ambiance is nice and would be a great first date location. The place was spacious and we got seated in the back counter that fit about 8 seats. They played some old school hip hop, the decor was modern and clean, and the food was good! My favorite pieces were the gindara (buttery and slightly torched to perfection), Ebi uni, and the Hotate scallop (lime zest really brought out the freshness). The second to last piece being the eel was quite interesting as they paired it was a dollop of avocado and eel sauce. I felt like it could do without the avocado as it kind of threw off the flavor of this classic piece. One thing I wanted to point out was the seaweed they used. Maybe it's been pre cut or open in bulk for a while but it was like a tad plasticky and chewy. It made the last hand roll piece tough as opposed to my other experiences where the seaweed was crispy and fresh. The host was great, not pushy and paid attention to detail. She filled my water everytime she saw the glass at half point and wiped my plate after one of the pieces that had the chili oil. Overall a great experience - for the price, ambiance, service, and the no tipping you can't really go wrong!

Sub-$100 sushi omakase spots have become more popular than dollar pizza. But I've seen few this low in price. $55, no gratuity, all in for 13 pieces. You can easily pay $55 for two maki rolls. Apparently, this is their second location and only 2 weeks old. As such, everything is very new. The sushi bar is a long one with 3-4 chefs. Service was decent but the seating was weird. You basically wait against the wall until they clear the bar and then they randomly seat you. In regards to the food, it's not bad. You get a lot of value. The foie piece and scallop piece were probably my favorite out of the batch. They like to use the blow torch a lot so most pieces will get the heat. It's not personally my top favorite sushi spot, but I definitely see the appeal. If you're looking for an omakase experience without breaking the bank, this is it.

The highlight of my visit to Mojo East wasn't just the omakase--it was our incredible server, Tee (also known as Tenzen). She set the tone for the entire evening with a rare balance: present without ever intruding, warm without being overbearing. She made us feel at ease right away, guiding us through each course with charm and clarity, and somehow managed to keep us engaged in the meal without breaking the flow of our own conversation. It felt like dining with someone who genuinely cared about the experience, not just the service. The omakase itself was an exceptional value--$55 for 13 courses, each plated with care and quality. The fish was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the wagyu in particular surprised me. I've been let down by wagyu in other omakase experiences, but here it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Though the restaurant doesn't operate on a tipping culture, I couldn't resist leaving a cash tip--Tee had gone above and beyond, and it felt right to acknowledge that. I'll absolutely be returning, and when I do, I'll be asking for Tenzen by name. Because honestly? I only want omakase with my new bestie

came here with my friend for the $55 13-course omakase with no tipping policy. booked on resy for the 5pm slot (first one of the day) on a sunday so free street parking. we got there a little early and they were able to seat us. the sashimi was really good but i feel like due to the hype of omakase it felt more of a like a "production" than an experience (if that makes any sense). the entire course took only 40 minutes so i did feel a bit rushed because they were trying to get ready for the next reservation. overall, you can't beat that price so i recommend it if you just want to have some good quality sashimi; however if you want authentic, actual omakase, there are better places !

Love the concept of Mojo East especially after visiting Japan recently. $55 for 13 courses and can order more at the end of the meal if you'd like. It was clean, organized, timely, and everyone was friendly. It was fun seeing them make each course in front of you. All the food was fresh and melted in your mouth.

Quick, fresh and cheap omakase! Make sure you're on time for your reservation because its 13 pieces in 1 hr. The restaurant is fairly long with two areas where you can be seated, a sushi counter for about 20 people in the front and another smaller one in the back. My favorites were the torched salmon with foie gras, chutoro and hotate. Fish all tasted fresh and the rice was nicely seasoned. Can't complain for $55 with tip included.

I found this place going viral on social media and I had to try this place out. This was my first omakase experience it was a 13-course meal for $55 without having to tip. The experience felt a bit rushed but it was great watching them make each course. The place has a clean aesthetic and there is a smaller bar in the back for a more personal experience with the chef. I wished there was a bit more variety but overall it was a good omakase experience for its price.

Every bite was like fireworks. Every bite has its own unique twist. I can't decide which one I like the best because there are so many out of the 13 course that I really liked. Definitely worth the visit!

$55 (no tip allowed) establishment for 13 courses is INCREDIBLE! such an incredibly welcoming waitstaff and chefs! We shared drinks and enjoyed the fish tremendously-- could not give this place higher praise! They prepare tuna in a medley of ways and it was all great! Big fan of the salmon and I wish I had the funds to try other sake and al la carte, but maybe next time! Cheers!

13 course omakase for $55? sign me UP immediately this deal is insane and the place is even more insane for being high quality and delicious, plus a no tipping policy all the fish and cuts were extremely well done. the rice here is pretty unique with it being more soft and sticky. the chefs even do fun little twists like glitter on one omakase, and he let me torch one of the rolls which was fun def recommend and woukd come back

$55 for 13 courses and an hour of seating. Everything tasted really fresh and it's great value. Service was quick would recommend for an inexpensive omakase

$58 for 13-course Omakase. It was absolutely a steal. Quality of fish was amazing. They were tasty and fresh. Our chef was attentive, not much of a talker. Overall it was great. Will definitely go back again.

Such a fun and great omakase experience for $55 and 13 courses! Highly recommend! We did a 10pm reservation and sat at the back with Chef Ken! So much fun and the servers were extremely nice! Most of the pieces were so buttery and melt in your mouth! Definitely a must try experience in LES! They were also on time when it come to our reservation time! I'm glad we went with the later reservation and the chef complimented the our bar area with complimentary shots of their yuzu sake!

A no-tip establishment is what caught my attention at first and $55 for a 13 course is a deal! The restaurant was very clean and modern, staff were friendly, and the quality of the fish was pretty good for the price. The chefs were very on point with the time with each piece. I had one of their special IPA's $4, added 2 extra nigiri's and a hand roll at the end, and it came out to $89. Would def come again!

Tried the omakase at 9pm on a weekday night for $55! The chef was really efficient with making our rolls and it was all amazing. It was great to see them make it in front of us and the added flair was fun (sparkles, fire torch). Really reasonable price for my first omakase ever!

Saw this restaurant trending on TikTok and I had to give it a try! I always wanted to try out omakase in NYC and I found out that this establishment offers $55 omakase (+ no tipping establishment)! The workers were guiding us on which nigiri was presented and the description of the flavor was pretty spot on. The A5 wagyu and the truffle butter salmon were my top two favorites!

This place is well worth the $55 omakase course no tipping experience. Every bite was delicious we even opted for extras after which the chef will prepare for you. Great service as well. There was a team helping with drinks (very attentive) and they even wiped down our plates to prepare for the next bite.
