Omi Omakase

Om Omakase is a new addition to the downtown Flushing space, and one I was eager to try after reading the reviews on Google. Sad to say, this new sushi spot is just not it. The ambience, presence of private tatami mat rooms, and attention from wait staff give it that high service/atmosphere rating. Now on to the food. Don’t be deceived by photos, my phone decided to put in some effort that day 😂. First of all, the raw ingredients are put into the same box, haphazardly stacked on top of each other. Multiple chefs would be taking pre-sliced pieces of fish from the box and filling them as needed, just shoving the newly pre-sliced fish in wherever they found space. This was a first for any sushi spot I’ve ever been to. The fish is simply not “fresh fresh fresh” as a lot of the reviews here claim it to be. Their cuts are of lower quality and do not taste fresh at all. At the end of the day this is just another run of the mill “bromakase” location doing it worse than others in the area. If you want to go for the vibes, this will be your place as they do have a nice interior.

Guys, just had the most AMAZING dinning experience at Omi Omakase with authentic Japanese flavors Omi absolute is a hidden omakase gem 💎 wow, Omi offers the private tatami room as well. $109 dinning experience truly meet my expectations, absolute OBSESSED with each bite with fresh fish from Japan EVERY SINGLE MORNING ☀️ Let’s talk about the REAL STAR - Sushi The high quality ingredients is EVERYTHING 🔥 the chef presented each course so beautifully. Each bites is value for the experience. Be impressed by the creativeness of the pieces, expected delight. Each piece meticulously curated based on the finest ingredients 🎣 perfect filling.

Went for friends’ birthday dinner. Food and service was top notch. The chef Lok is one of the best. Also the fact that there is excellent Omakase in Flushing, Queens without going into the city is awesome.

I recently visited Omi Omakase, and I was genuinely impressed from start to finish. As a newly opened omakase restaurant, it already feels like a hidden gem. The quality of the fish was outstanding — every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The chef’s craftsmanship really stood out, especially in the way each course was carefully explained and presented. The ambiance is modern and elegant, yet warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a premium omakase experience with top-quality ingredients and great service, Omi Omakase is definitely worth checking out. I’ll absolutely be back!

Just want to start out by saying that the service was great. The servers were attentive and always there whenever you needed them. Atmosphere is good too. The decor and interior are very pretty. The private tatami rooms are also a nice touch. The food though, that’s the reason why you go out to eat. You don’t go out for the service, atmosphere, or decor- you go for the food. I witnessed the chef putting the raw meat on top of the raw fish in the box, that’s cross contamination. I didn’t like seeing that. None of the omakase pieces stood out to me. They were average and mediocre at best. It was just nothing special at all. If anything, the amount of wasabi being added to the pieces increased as the meal went on. Not to mention, the pieces of fish were definitely on the smaller side to the point where it didn’t even cover the wasabi sticking out. With all of these highly rated reviews, I had high hopes, but it all came crumbling down the more I ate there. It really did not live up to my expectations in the slightest. Truly disappointing in terms of food quality. All in all, if you want omakase from another generic sushi place in Flushing, you can come here and see for yourself. I on the other hand, will not be coming back.

Omi Omakase is the freshest—and quite possibly the most exciting—addition to Flushing’s booming sushi scene. Tucked away on a quiet block, this intimate spot delivers a thoughtful and luxurious omakase experience that rivals Manhattan’s high-end counters but with a Queens charm. From the moment the first course arrived, we knew we were in for something special. The amberjack (indai) was a bright and clean opener, setting the stage with its perfect balance of fat and freshness. The wagyu with caviar was decadent but not overpowering—a bite-sized indulgence where melt-in-your-mouth beef met briny caviar pop. One of the night’s standouts was the crab chawanmushi—a silky, steaming egg custard with delicate crab woven through every spoonful. Pure comfort with a touch of luxury. The anago with foie gras and caviar was almost sinful in its richness, but executed with restraint—sweet, smoky eel layered with buttery foie and topped with caviar for that final ocean-kissed finish. The kitchen’s finesse showed in simpler pieces, too: the scallop, sweet and creamy; the shrimp, tender and subtly sweet; the salmon, lush but never oily. And then there was the show-stopping otoro topped with uni, a rich, velvety combination that practically dissolved on the tongue. Every bite was expertly seasoned by the chefs behind the counter—no need for soy sauce or wasabi intervention. The rice was warm, perfectly seasoned, and just the right texture—no detail overlooked. Beyond the food, the service was warm, attentive, and unpretentious, making the whole experience feel welcoming rather than stiff or intimidating. For a newly opened restaurant, Omi Omakase is already hitting a rare level of consistency and confidence. It’s clear the chefs here care deeply about their craft—and their diners. Expect this spot to become one of Flushing’s hottest reservations very soon.

Absolutely phenomenal omakase experience at Omi in Flushing. Every course was beautifully prepared, with top-tier ingredients like wagyu, caviar, uni, and fresh seafood that melted in your mouth. The seared wagyu nigiri was a standout—rich, tender, and perfectly balanced. Presentation and attention to detail were on par with high-end Manhattan sushi spots, but at a much more accessible price point. The chefs were highly skilled and engaging, and the overall atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. If you’re a sushi lover, Omi is a must-visit. One of the best omakase experiences in Queens!

Went with my family and was blew away with everything! The quality of the seafood were immaculate! I especially enjoyed the toro it melted right in my mouth. 100% would recommend.

Great food and price, super friendly service, awesome chef. Clean spot with good vibes

Cuisine: 3 Service: 5 Decor: 8 Value: 4 Overall: 4 I hate to be bearer of bad news, especially because I was holding onto real hope that this restaurant would truly give me a top notch sushi omakase experience without going into Manhattan. Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscience recommend this new contender for best sushi in Queens. Nowadays, sushi omakase is dime a dozen. They all follow the same successful formula and opened by Fukinese immigrants who learned from other Japanese restaurants before opening their own. The trickle down effect leaves us with a bunch of unqualified "sushi chefs" serving one of the most expensive meals on average in the city. Sadly, this restaurant falls into that category. What most sushi connoisseurs appreciate more than anything else is good quality rice that accentuate the best seafood the chefs can source. The moment I tasted the rice here frightened me of the meal I was about to experience. I don't know who made the rice, but they need to re-evaluate their process immediately. It was hard, cold, lacked acidity, and all around sucked. I am not trying to be mean, but I hope the restaurant reads this review and improve upon the most important part of sushi. As for the other aspects, the fish often was served a bit too chilled, and almost always too dressed. For example, the Hokkaido Scallop didn't need plum sauce, yuzu zest, and truffle salt. When it came to the most desirable ingredients of the night, wagyu was cut too thin and over charred with the blowtorch, while the uni was not the best quality. I wanted to tale a picture of the box of uni, but the chef said it doesn't look very nice and was too watery due to likely poor transportation. I do want to mention that Chef Lok (from Malaysia, worked at Masa for 6 months) was maybe one of the only delightful part of the meal. He was friendly and funny, while the servers were a bit lackadaisical with simple tasks like keeping the tea cups filled. Also, the decor was quite nice, with many private spaces/rooms for larger groups. Btw, $109 is not crazy expensive, but this same meal could be had in Manhattan at many locations for less, not to mention better. In the end, I truly wish Omi Omakase was the sushi heaven in Queens that I have been searching for. Unfortunately, it just simply wasn't what I prayed for.

We've tried a few omakase spots, and this is definitely one of the top ones. Each course was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. The chef's attention to detail and the overall experience made it truly memorable. Great service and atmosphere, too.

Fish was very good & fresh with the exception of uni. Service was hit or miss. Ambiance is very nice & modern. They have small private rooms good for 4 ppl. Sushi chefs were very kind and prepared the fish in front of us for the omakase. Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4.5 Overall: 4.5

Had a great omakase experience at Omi! Full house during the 5.30 sessions. Definitely recommended. Ambiance very warm and comfortable. 16 courses very filling and delicious.
