OKOZUSHI by Megumi

"What It Is: A tiny BYOB sushi place in Williamsburg serving $25-$45 set meals Perfect For: Unique Dining Experience, BYOB Okozushi is a new place from the same people behind Okonomi (a tiny Japanese spot in Williamsburg) and they only serve set meals of Kyoto-style pressed sushi. There are three to choose from (ranging from $25-$45), and we recently sat at the bar and ate the $45 one, which included tuna sashimi, a couple of hand rolls, and eight pieces of sushi. This would have felt like a good deal if there had been more than one type of fish involved, but there were not - Okozushi features one type of fish a night. Sure, each piece had a few different toppings (like blue cheese and shiso) but it still got a little boring. The Verdict: This place is unique, and we liked the tiny space. We’ll be back to try it again once they’ve been open a little while longer." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren

"A friend wants to meet at a perfectly fine neighborhood spot where you’ve both been several hundred times. Take this opportunity to suggest Okozushi instead. It’s a little place in Williamsburg that serves a few excellent sushi sets, all of which are under $30. They use the same fish for every piece of the omakase, but change up the garnishes to keep things interesting. Also, it’s BYOB - so pick up a bottle of sake on the way to show that you’re trying just the right amount." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

"New York’s other notably sustainable sushi restaurant, the recently opened Okozushi, serves only local fish." - Hannah Goldfield

"Ozokushi is a tiny sushi place in Williamsburg, and it’s fairly unique. They only offer three set meals (ranging from $25-$45), and they serve Kyoto-style sushi that’s been pressed into little boxes. Each set meal includes six pieces of this sushi, and all of them come with the same kind of fish, which they try to differentiate by adding things like shiso or blue cheese, but it still gets a little boring. So if you’re looking to try a lot of different fish, this place isn’t too exciting, but the more expensive set meals that come with hand rolls and sashimi are a pretty good deal. Seeing as how the most you can spend is $45 (which isn’t bad for sushi), this place is worth checking out, although keep in mind that they only have about four small tables, and they don’t take reservations. Also, it’s BYOB." - Bryan Kim

"The team behind cult favorite Williamsburg Japanese fish restaurant Okonomi has been slowly expanding its fish footprint, and now, though chef-owner Yuji Haraguchi originally became known for fish ramen and cooked fish, he’s opening a sushi restaurant, too." - Serena Dai
