One Bite Omakase

The omakase was such a friendly experience. The flavors were amazing, and every bite melted in my mouth. You can tell a lot of care goes into the quality of the fishes. Highly enjoyable and very satisfying. Would def recommend and come again😍😍

Great omakase experience; incredibly flavorful sushi in a beautiful minimalist space; chefs and hosts were super attentive and pleasant; they let us sit inside for over half an hour before our scheduled meal time because the weather outside was miserable; the only minor drawback I’d say was their choice of music, which during our visit didn’t really fit the atmosphere (some hip hop and rnb)

I had an amazing experience at One Bite Omakase on the Upper West Side. The food was absolutely outstanding – every bite was packed with flavor and prepared to perfection. Truly world-class taste and quality and great price. Highly recommended! 👍

Had an amazing lunch date with a friend and the food was fantastic! Quickly became my local fav! So fresh and so tasty!

Phenomenal dining experience. Every bite was delicious and expertly crafted. I'd recommend going for lunch specials because it is a little pricey.

Good special occasion meal experience. The whole restaurant is about 11 chairs at the sushi bar. It's Omakase - so the sushi chef decides what to serve you - you don't pick. It is a fixed price and you can ask for additional pieces. They're billed separately. The sushi tastes fresh and is a gastronomic delight. Service is attentive and the sushi chefs make it a performance. They're the real deal - and difficult to understand. Pro tip: you can ask the waiter questions. I'll be back!

My friends and I had an amazing experience at One Bite Omakase last night. The sushi dishes were extraordinary, each piece a burst of fresh, vibrant flavors. The two chefs were incredibly friendly and welcoming, treating us to off-the-menu plates. Their passion and hospitality made the evening truly special. Highly recommend this hidden gem for an exceptional sushi experience!

Yudi and the chefs are incredible. A very welcoming and warm experience. Each course was amazing and the fish was so fresh. I especially loved how accommodating they were to sear my fish since I can't have raw fish. Highly recommend!

Solid lunch omakase that hits the sweet spot for quality and portion size. The New Zealand king salmon was exceptional. Everything felt notably fresh; you'll leave satisfied but not uncomfortably full. Good value for the quality, especially at lunch pricing. Highly recommend and will be back.

One Bite is probably one of our favorite omakase restaurants on the UWS, still. But we can't be as gung ho about it as we were when it first opened. The attention to rice has diminished precipitously. Temperature, compression and seasoning are not attended to with the same care as it was when the place first opened. It's not at all bad for a mid-tier restaurant -- just not excellent as it once was. At a recent lunch and dinner, shari (sushi rice) was too cold -- cooler than room temperature -- and overly compressed. It did not dissolve upon contact the tongue as it ought. (I like to eat nigiri sideways in these cases.) At recent omakse meals, there were far more pieces that were heavily Americanized than there used to be (think salmon with aoli). I know a lot of customers probably like this stuff, but traditionalists may not and should take note. This is a placeholder to remind me to add more detail later!

I went for lunch. The sushi is exceptional, especially at its price point. The menu is minimalist: 2 options and some optional a la carte extras at the end. The restaurant is tiny, fitting maybe a dozen people at the chef's table. Will return.

You can't beat the lunch price anywhere in NYC. Hosted by very polite staff. All the fish are fresh and delicious. It's a cozy restaurant and very easily accessible. If we had more appetites, will definitely try the additional dish.

Came here for lunch and every piece was really solid from beginning to end. I don't think you can find a better deal for omakase.

Stopped by this place because of the good reviews! First impression, sushi chefs are going through pre-cut fish on a board and throwing various pieces off to the side. Not a great sign. Nomz: Started with the trio starter - found a fish bone in one of them. If you know sushi - that's a very bad sign and was a turnoff to us. Rice ratio was off in the nigiri - very inconsistent from piece to piece. Lots and lots of torching happening at this place - which as a purist - always makes me die a little inside. Drinks: Tried two sakes - loved the sake carafe - super modern and practical. Service: Chefs didn't engage much - which is fine just noting it. Overall, felt disorganized from the beginning and that set the mood. Ambiance: Small, but typical for these sushi spots popping up. Nope or Dope: Nope, lots of misses at this place. Maybe it's up to par for the UWS but coming from east village there are plenty of better options at this price point.

Hands down the best omakase on the UWS. We have been probably 5 times and each time it's exceptional. Amazing food, great sake options, and it is SO reasonably priced. It's intimate sushi counter seating makes it perfect for a date, but it's so relaxed and inviting it's a place you can frequent without having to wait solely for special events. I can't recommend it enough!

OMG What an amazing Omakase place, way better than any other in the hood plus lunch Omakase was only $49. Every bite was exceptional !

Enjoy the delicious lunch here, great value for the quality of the Omakase. The fish was so good, not a single bad bite. They make their own homemade ginger in house. I don't usually like ginger, but I really loved their cubed ginger. I added on the Uni and it was perfect. Can't wait to go again.

Echoing all the other reviews by saying this was one of the best meals I've ever had as well! The fish was amazing, the RICE was amazing. You hear about sushi chefs having to train for years to get the rice right. Until now I haven't quite understood why that would be, but NOW I DO. Going forth I probably won't be able to enjoy "regular" sushi again. Service was extraordinary; there were 3 sushi chefs serving a full house (12 seats I believe?) with one of the chefs serving only my party of three. The host was fully present as well but not obtrusive to make sure we were taken care of. Seating is just at the sushi counter, but you don't feel crowded. It was an unforgettable meal and one I look forward to enjoying again.

Went there for lunch on a Friday and loved it so much I took a friend there on Saturday. Probably top five sushi places I've ever been to in the entire world... Absolutely excellent I was highly impressed. Service and atmosphere was wonderful.

Good food, server was friendly and nice. Fish was very fresh, it was a good experience. The place ambience was nice and cozy

Awesome lunch omakase! $50/person for 9 pieces (including a small app and hand roll). It's very close to the American Natural History Museum. It's easy to get a lunch resy at the 10 (12?) seater counter. The space is limited but is well decorated. The waiter and chef provided excellent service in the small space. Each peace had a unique texture or flavor. I especially loved the Hokkaido Scallop, and Otoro. They even had amberjack and mackerel. I usually don't love mackerel but this one was so smooth. Their homemade ginger cubes really helped cleanse between pieces.

Was craving sushi after spending all day at AMNH. Found this place with great reviews and decided to give it a try. True omakase restaurant, they just have one menu and the set depends on lunch or dinner timing. The service as soon as you enter is great. There is just the sushi bar to sit at so very limited seating. I was glad to be seated as soon as I walked in. I did see that a lot of people had reservations. They personalized the reserved sign at the bar with the person's name which I thought was a nice personal touch. The chefs were friendly and efficient. They made, played and served each dish and explained what it was. It's quite intimate and fun. Each bite was better than the last. My favorite was the A5 Wagyu topped with uni, followed by kanpachi and then scallop. They were all delicious really. Right before the set is completed, they ask if you'd like anything a la carte. I did the kanpachi and Wagyu/uni. I asked the server for a semi-sweet recommendation for sake and they recommended Hyakumoku which paired well with the meal. It also went down very smoothly. The seafood was fresh and great quality, you could taste it. The chefs were very proud of the seafood from Hokkaido. I already plan on bringing my family here when they visit as they love sushi.

Food and service was good. The fish tasted fresh. It wasn't the most exciting pieces but all high quality. Would recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner tonight at One Bite Omakase. We've been to a number of omakase restaurants around the city and it was nice to see some new and special preparations. The fish was very fresh and pieces were of a good size. Service was crisp. Water and tea were kept filled. The space felt intimate, but a little noisy. Chef Johnny took great care of us. We will definitely be back.

Have been to several omakase since moving to NY 4 mos ago and this has been the most innovative dishes that left us reordering a few to experience the unique flavors. A little more expensive but worth it. Attentive servers that is easier given the small and quaint size.

Do I...don't I??? Neighborhood gem. Its a find. The food, vibe, experience. Go to keep them in business. But if I eventually can't get in....then Im mad. Great Omekase spot that is destined to change up sushi on UWS

Solid, solid, no frillz. 12 seat omakase sushi restaurant. 13 course 89$. Absolutely everything was delicious. Chef was great. Truly recommend and I will be back again.

We got seated at 2pm at the very end of the lunch window. Our 9 courses were expertly prepared in front of us. For lunch it's the fairly standard sushi items you would expect with many of them toasted with a small flame. My favorites were the king salmon with garlic aioli and the Japanese scallop with salt. The preparation had the right amount of wasabi and seasoning to enhance the fish. We also had the sake, served at a mildly cool temperature. I would definitely come back. The lunch price of $49 is outstanding for the variety. Seating is tight but comfortable. Service is solid and helpful.

Lunch if an especially excellent value at $49 for 8 pieces. Some pieces better than others, but generally excellent. Most fish is buttery and rich, better than what you would get out of a Royal Sushi box at Sushi 35 West (just as a standard point of reference). The uni ($14 supplement) was sweet and mild with no metallic undertones. Dinner is $100, if so inclined, and includes 13 pieces. You got a lot of value for your money here.

One of the best meals I've had in my life. The sushi was so perfect it melted in my mouth. Service was impeccable and staff was amazing. Highly recommended!!!

I came here for a birthday dinner with one of my friends. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Each dish is one bite. The space is small, and all the seats are along the sushi bar. This place has been open less than a week, but it is a great addition to the neighborhood. It is definitely worth checking ou I can't wait to come back!

One of the best omakases ive had in nyc - def top 2 for me. Amazing flavors - attentive and kind staff - def recc to anyone and everyone this spot is perfection

Super lugar 100 % recommendado para familiarss y amigos , amo este lugar con la calidad Que hay para atender él cliente y el professionalismo

The food was excellent - the quality was superb. The service was wonderful. They were attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The price was excellent for the quality and service

Such a great find in manhattan , love finding a good place in upper west has been mission, but I've finally found my new Japanese omakase place. The food was fresh, flavorful and the atmosphere was beautiful indoor dining the service was really the icing on the cake our servers were so attentive, informative and kind.

Amazing food and service. Intimate, which is very nice and offers a great level of service and amazing price!

I loved this place so much!! It felt very authentic and intimate. The chefs were super nice and the food was outstanding!! You got a piece of all of the best types of nigiri; sweet shrimp, A5 wagyu with uni, toro with caviar and scallop! The portions were big and so filling!! The a la carte menu was also amazing. This is 100% worth the $89 and a really good option for affordable omakase in NYC!!

Delicious omakase in an elegant setting at a reasonable price with fantastic service!! What more could one want. I will be back... soon... and many more times

It's a great omakase spot that's opened up in UWS! Absolutely amazing bites at a great price if you're looking for a tasting of various sushi and sashimi! We went at night to avoid the crowds and to experience a more intimate experience. Can't say enough about the precision and quality of the food and will definitely come back here sooner rather than later. We met some other patrons who have been here 6 times already, and they're making the trek from downtown each time to have the food and sake here. Currently, they don't have a liquor license, so you'll be served house sake. Can't go wrong for the quality and price at this omakase!

What a find! I had the lunch special with sashimi, 9 pieces of sushi and a tiny exquisite roll for $49. The fish was highest quality and very fresh even on a Monday. The king salmon especially lit up every pleasure receptor in my brain. This place is tiny with counter seating only FYI.

This is a great spot. The manager is very nice, the chefs are friendly and the food is amazing. The price isn't as bad as other places, and you can add any piece onto what you already have. It's a bar seating about 11 people. It's casual and you can talk to other people there.

Fresh sushi and amazing service !!! Highly recommended !! $89 for thirteen course, can't go wrong with that

Possibly best on UWS! At least for the price it is. Killer food and wonderful experience. Chef pairings are incredible.

Tried their omakase and we really liked it. Fish was fresh and flown in. They also had seasonal Hokkaido purple uni which was 10000000x better than regular uni. Enjoy the wagyu and uni rolls, ordered extra on top of omakase. Can be pricey but you pay for the quality for sure.

AMAZING! We had such a great experience - the service was great, the food was incredible - the sushi literally melted in your mouth, the chef created the perfect bites with unique textures and flavors that made us want to stay there all day. Even their house-made pickled ginger was amazing. Highly recommend!

A great Omakase experience in the neighborhood. Our friends highly recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We're looking forward to coming back soon.

Fantastic experience tonight at One Bite. It was elegant without an ounce of pretension. The sushi chefs were engaging. And the sushi ... every single course melted in my mouth. Our favorite was the black cod. It's a 12 seater with a very reasonable price tag ($85 for a 13-course dinner), and we left full. We're already planning our return visits. It was an experience we want to share with friends and family. A fantastic addition to the UWS!

Wow. Come check it out. Best omakase place on the UWS. Gives competition to Sushi W. This might be a tad better.

One bite. One hour. One happy customer. We were able to get a reservation at the last minute for Saturday night. So glad we did! The service and quality of the dishes were great. Limited seating but didn't' feel cramped. Chef was good at explaining each item and asked us which ones we liked more. You can obviously order more at the end or even items they didn't serve. There is time before next seating. You might wonder how we were able to eat about a dozen dishes in a hour. Trust me, it never felt rushed and the time went by fast. I guess that is what happens when you have nothing but goodness constantly in your mouth. We've tried all the sushi and omakases in this hood, and this one makes it to the top for us, especially considering the price. It's BYOB for now so another bonus. Doubtful we will snag another reservation at the last minute around prime time. Book ahead and you'll want to book often.

This place is absolutely amazing! The food, service, and ambiance is beyond words. Bo, our chef, was incredible. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and kind! The entire experience was unbelievable, definitely recommend and will definitely be dining here again! Amazing pricing for all that you get!

I don't even want to leave a good review because then everyone will want to go and I won't be able to get in! What an amazing gem One Bite is! And so amazing to be on the Upper West Side. Everyone was so friendly, it was a fun atmosphere,simple design, and the fish was just phenomenal. Everything was so fresh and beautifully presented. I just loved it! Highest recommendation.

I almost hate to do this as it means that either the price will go up or I won't be able to get a reservation. But, I have to give props when it's due and it is definitely due here. This is the best omakase and sushi on the UWS and stands up against some other much more expensive ones. What I like about their omakase is the quality of the fish, that they dress each piece with a unique flavor profile and that the price is reasonable. They don't have their liquor license yet but I imagine that's coming soon. It's a great addition to our neighborhood and we will definitely be back again and again.

Wow. SO SO good. After every bite my boyfriend and I would look at each other in disbelief because of how good it was. Our server and chef were both great and I'm so happy we picked this spot for our first omakase experience.

Had the dinner Omakase for $89 and it was such an amazing experience. Although pricey, it is worth every penny. I had 13 course experience that absolutely blew me away. Each piece of sushi was so fresh and subtle, but nuanced flavors and textures. The staff was accommodating and polite and the ambiance was relaxing. Almost like a meditation.

Great value for money, the sushi was fresh and the courses ranged from fatty tuna, uni and king salmon

Everything was great. They do seatings. Only a 10 seat sushi bar. Each piece was perfect. Awesome Friendly female sushi chef. First time I think I ve ever seen a female sushi chef. And reasonably priced. Check it. No liquor license yet.

All around delicious-not one bad bite at all. The uni tasted absurdly good, unlike many restaurants in the city.
