Sushi On Me - Williamsburg

Such an incredible experience. The atmosphere was rowdy and fun with the staff topping off your sake, playing throwback music, and getting everyone in the mood. But the food was no slouch. The opening dishes were the highlight and they did some cool stuff with the smoke infusions. Pair that with a generous (maybe excessive) amount of sake and I definitely felt like I got my money’s worth just from the food alone. Overall, immaculate food and vibes. Will be back for sure.

I'll admit that I was a bit hesitant when my cousin recommended this sushi place for dinner with my friends but it delivered in folds and we can't wait to go back. It's an hour omakase experience with unlimited sake and incredibly entertaining staff. The staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels like a VIP. They treat you not just as a guest but as part of their extended family, making sure every detail of your dining experience is memorable. It's roughly $100 per person, cash only, and reservations are a must. Sushi On Me is where you can start OR end your night of debacles when visiting NYC. Did I mention the unlimited sake?

Such a fun experience! The chef and staff were fun and engaging and made the experience special. The sushi itself was fresh and delicious. The appetizers pacifically blew me away.

Hard to describe how amazing this place is. The food (which is incredible) is almost secondary to the atmosphere and experience. As mentioned the food is simply amazing. Nothing is over complicated, but everything is executed extremely well. The 15 courses leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Saying the staff is “attentive” or “professional” isn’t giving them their dues. To be clear, this is a party, the staff are the hosts and they’re killing it. The Williamsburg location is just as magnificent as the OG location.

Had such fun here! We've been to the Queens location so knew what to expect and had such a blast! One of my favorite experiences in the city!

One of the best dinning experiences iv ever had! Really great occasion restaurant, we went for my best friends 30th and it was perfect! I was really nervous after reading the reviews that we would feel rushed for an hours seating but didnt feel it one bit! The food and service was so so good - only a 12 person seating and it felt really intimate - they encouraged you to drink the unlimited sake and the quality of the food was so good considering the price! Some really imaginative dishes - not just the standard omakase.. Every omakase should be this fun! We left feeling very tipsy and very satisfied! Will be back for another birthday to impress in the future!

My mom and I visited Sushi On Me for her birthday/Mother’s Day. The outside of the restaurant is not marked, and was locked. It gave a secretive and special feel to us. The staff was very friendly, and the dishes were pretty good. I love when a restaurant pairs the food well with textures of the dinnerware/glassware. The presentation of each dish was amazing! The only thing I would say, is to extend the experience to be 2 or more hours long. It felt very rushed, especially being our bill for 2 people was over $250. I loved the endless sake included, but with 15 dishes, I could barely enjoy 1-2 glasses. The timing here would really make a huge difference in my experience and opinion. I loved the risqué vibes and it was the perfect amount of “party” vibes. The dishes were great (some a tad too fishy for us) but we definitely needed more time to enjoy and learn about these dishes for this price. I will definitely want to check out the Queens location to compare, but I am not sure I would frequent this location for special occasions.

Was a little nervous when they put us in the waiting area out back, but then they wowed me with the omakase. A super fun experience with an amazing selection. What I loved most (besides the endless stream of sake of course) was the mix of traditional sashimi with cooked dishes. Quality wise, all dishes were on point.

I have a friend that raves about this spot, so I was excited to finally check it out. This 15 course omakase comes with bottomless sake, so perfect for a night when you're ready to party and get drunk. Of course to make the meal worth it, we are taking a shot of sake with every course. All the employees are friendly and joining in on the shots, so it's super fun! The 15 course has some Thai flair, so half the courses aren't your typical nigiris only. I honestly enjoyed the variety of fish, especially the Tom Kha soup. The dishes are also interactive with smoke, soups, and some torching, so you basically get dinner and a show. Loved the experience and fun vibes of this omakase all for $100. Some friends aren't even fans of sushi, but they come for the environment and bottomless sake because that alone is worth coming back. Note that it is cash only though!

We needed a boisterous omakase place to celebrate my sister's birthday. What can beat lively service, unlimited sake, and omakase with a Thai flare? Even the omakase was fun with the use of fire and smoke bombs. My favorite part was the one that came in a curry sauce. Would I come just to enjoy the omakase? Even though the omakase was good, the environment is definitely best suited for parties so you should definitely be in the right mindset.

TLDR: An interesting and "litty" omakase experience that is okay value for the novelty, if that's your thing (average sushi, watered down sake). Visited the restaurant as a guest for a good friend's birthday celebration so most of our party took up the whole restaurant (this place is great for groups). The staff themselves are super friendly and gregarious, it can absolutely be a fun party vibe if you're coming in after a couple drinks and shmoozed in the evening when the sun goes down. However, our group came in at 5pm, so it was a tad bit awkward at sometimes when we were trying to channel that night raccoon energy when the sun was out and beaming. The sushi combinations themselves were definitely different--I thought the thai fusion versions were a little gimmicky, personally--it seemed like a way to cheapen the dishes. I didn't feel like the fish quality was particularly great--just okay and just one notch up from your regular sit down average sushi restaurant. I did feel rushed--they took our dishes super fast and also announced names of food really fast so I couldn't get a total gist of what I was eating. There were some pieces I liked and others that were particular let-downs, even big hitters like bluefin were just ok. Overall if you value delectable fish quality and unique combinations that knck your socks off, this place is crossed off. I would not pay $100 to dine here for okay sushi and watered down sake. If you want a party experience and want to knock a dinner off your list of celebrations, this might be the move--although it is cash only which is a PAIN if you're the host. I felt worried for my friend here cashing out to pay the place, which didn't seem super professional if they were going to host a large party--it's definitely a liability that I thought was particularly off-putting.

Amazing!! Had such a great time. For the price ($100 is per person), it's a steal. Book ahead of time. It's intimate (?15 people). Such a vibe. Prepare to sing and have fun. Great music (90s, 2000s). Chat. Eat good food. Great for singles, groups, and couples. Leave the kiddos at home.

I was in New York about a month ago and we decided to try out this spot and we absolutely loved it. It was the one of the funnest times I have had at a restaurant in a while. The staff was very nice and lively. The sushi was good and fresh and I loved the unlimited sake. This is a great place to come with a group of friends to celebrate. I felt like the pricing was very reasonable for the amount of food and sake and most importantly the food was good. I would definitely recommend!

After a year of anticipation, I finally visited Sushi On Me in Williamsburg with a new friend, and it was a blast! While I concur with other Yelpers about the sake being watered down-- downing two pitchers didn't deliver the expected buzz. The sushi, unfortunately, fell short on freshness and missed the mark. Nonetheless, the overall experience was amazing, and I attribute that to the delightful company. It's the people you're with that truly make it a memorable time. I still really like going to The Jackson heights location!

If you're in the Williamsburg area, this spot is a must!!!! Such a great vibe and even though we reserved the earlier dinner spot, the staff were GREAT with such high and fun energy! In case you did not know, this spot offers an omakase style menu with all you can drink sake!!!! They definitely know how to encourage shots of sake without being pushy about it. Something to be aware though is that there are 2 carafes.. one is sake and one is water! Be careful haha Personally, I prefer when omakase's include strictly raw fish offerings but when you go to a more modern spot like Sushi on Me, you will get a mix of cooked fish and even some meat options. They did a nice job with balancing the wow factor, the quality of the food and the presentation! I also love that there is only a bar seating option so you can watch them as they create all of the dishes! To give the staff another shoutout, we went for my boyfriends birthday and they went above and beyond to make this experience such a memorable one!! Thank you!!

TLDR: Unique Omakase experience filled with modern takes on sushi favorites and endless sake. Great for a groups of 8-10 friends so you can have the whole restaurant to yourself. Vibe: 5/5. Located in the heart of Williamsburg, this is Sushi on Me's 2nd location. Similar the original, the restaurant is only comprised of the counter seating around the sushi bar. Personally, I am a fan of this setup, as Omakase style dining is best enjoyed bellied up to the bar with the chefs handing you the pieces. The U shaped sushi bar has room for 10-12 diners per seating, so this is a great option for larger groups to "takeover" the entire restaurant for an unofficial private experience. Though in order to do this, reservations are highly recommended, as Sushi on Me only has a handful of seatings each night. Service: 5/5. The staff at Sushi on Me were beyond amazing during our dinner service. My group of 6 were fortunate enough to have the whole restaurant to ourselves, so the staff comprised of 3 gave us amazing service. Each dish of the omakase was prepared right in front of us and was explained thoroughly upon serving. Sushi On Me's main appeal is the endless sake pours, which the staff made sure we took advantage of by constantly keeping our sake carafes filled to the brim. They were also engaging and funny, egging us on with each sake shot we took. Our dinner was a birthday celebration, which the staff made sure to make special by adding an additional sushi piece at the end as well as a special dessert with a "bright" presentation. Even though each dinner is supposed to be only an hour in length, we never felt rushed. The staff truly take this omakase experience to the next level. Food: 5/5. Sushi on Me offers a modern twist on the traditional omakase. The entire meal is comprised of 14-15 "courses", some being hot dishes from the kitchen and most being nigiri. The kitchen dishes ranged from flash fried fish to tuna cones to scallop crudos on the time of our visit. As for the sushi, all the usual suspects were offered during our dinner, ie. fatty tuna, sea bream, uni, fatty salmon etc. Several pieces were elevated with the use of citrus via lime zest and yuzu which was a nice touch. The menus change regularly, so there's no guarantee that what you are served one night will be the exact same a few days later. Overall, it's a solid sushi service. Was it the best sushi I have had in NYC? No, but it's a respectable experience that is further elevated from the delightful staff and party atmosphere!

What a fun experience with delicious food and staff. The only downside is that an hour is not nearly enough time to throughly enjoy the food, sake, and others. It almost felt like a new dish was placed in front of us before we even had an opportunity to savor the previous dish. I gave it 3 stars because of the overall experience related to cost and time. Food was great and so was the staff but the experience they are trying to create feels really rushed which makes me reconsider if it's worth the cost.

Friendly staff and great quality!!! All the sushi is high quality and the chef is very creative with the flavors incorporated in the dishes.

I don't get the low ratings that have been given to Williamsburg sushi on me. Is it your typical Omakase ? No. Is is more fun??? YES. I've been to both locations and I gotta say, both are killing it. While the Jackson heights spot is more hype (due to freedom to blast music), the overall vibe very much still is up in willyB. I had a fantastic date night and will a hundred percent be back to have some of the fatty tuna, yellowtail, and amberjack ;) also the fun and luvable staff. Thank you for an amazing night !!!

Recently went here- was fun but did not live up to the hype. This place cash only and they are absolutely making hand over fist. It's $100 per person with "unlimited" sale. As others have mentioned the sake is severely watered down so you can drink the whole time and not really get buzzed. Without the alcohol there are many much better omasake places in NYC now you can go to for way better food at a lesser cost. The dishes themselves were good I felt the Thai inspired ones maybe better than the sushi ones. Decent sushi but nothing amazing. The staff was very friendly but it all a routine they do over and over with little detail to each group. It def felt rushed and dishes were shoved in front of you quickly to turn the tables. The biggest let down was the interior. They have a neon sign, a disco ball in the corn and play the same playlist of tired hits like Black Eyed Peas with each course. Beyond that the interior is not even nice. There are old country like painting around in frames which have nothing to do with what's going on there. And old couch when you come in. The bar you sit at is super basic with no other design except the toaster oven in the corner. It soooo easily could be so much more fun and better but it was a let down. The 50% water sake and old basement interior look were depressing.

The most fun, high quality, and unique dining and experience. I had a blast. Such a cozy and fun interior, the chefs are so energetic, the dishes are unique and delicious. Thai-inspired dishes were so cool (e.g. wagyu and fish in curry). I LOVED the milk toast topped with crab, uni, and caviar. Every single sushi + the handrolls were awesome too. 15 amazing courses including an awesome cheesecake. This is the perfect date night, special event, or birthday party spot! LOVED IT!!! Awesome area in Williamsburg too! Check out my in-depth TikTok review here: https://www.tiktok.com/@rynelly/video/7289191787732733226

First let me preface this with saying it's a negative review and that I used to hate leaving negative reviews, but the economy has changed since covid - and with sky high inflation, people who are spending their cash should be able to expect not necessarily mind-blowing, but decent service at the least. My girlfriend and I came into the city for a concert from out of state and after four hours of driving and unpacking at the hotel, she told me we had a surprise reservation for dinner. We hopped in a cab and showed up at 6pm and when we walked in, after asking us what time our reservation was for (6:30 mind you) they shooed us out the door like vagrants loitering around the back of a liquor store and told us to come back in thirty minutes. So we took a not-quite-riveting stroll around a set of blocks and once we decided we'd had enough bodega counting, we went back and arrived at 6:23. We tried the door but they had literally locked it behind us, though you could clearly see right through the window that the staff were just standing around and nothing was happening. We knocked on the door and one of them opened it up, and after asking why they couldn't let people who have reservations for five minutes out come into the restaurant, they begrudgingly sat us at a dreary bar - which in fact was on brand because the whole interior has the charm of an orphanage struck by a Hezbollah missile. I tried to order a cocktail while we waited, but they only serve straight sake and one choice of beer so I took nothing and had to like it. We were then told dinner was waiting on two other reservations; for such sticklers for time, they had no problem making us and the other couple wait for the third who showed up ten minutes late. Once they sat down, the staff brought out not one but three plated courses ready to be launched in front of us. My girlfriend booked the reservation because it's billed as omakase, and isn't the point of omakase to have the chef tell everyone what he chose for that evening's dinner and why, while preparing it in front of you? Instead there were three tacky raw seafood dishes - caviar in a martini glass, (presumably) tuna presented in an ice cream cone, and some other indiscernible lump cloaked in black truffle - that had been sitting out for who knows how long in the back, and that only conveyed that A) this exists as stunt food for ending up on vapid influencer TikToks and B) shove it down your gullet as fast as possible, give us your cash and get the fuck out. At this point we decided to bail instead of getting intestinal worms, and my girlfriend had to argue to get her reservation deposit back; mind you it's fifty dollars per person via credit card online but once you're in the restaurant it's cash only, which shrieks tax fraud so loudly the only way it could be more direct is if they mailed a letter that said "please raid me daddy" to the IRS. After we walked out we took a cab to Rule of Thirds, where we were seated right away and ended up having a wonderfully gorgeous dinner. So unless your entire sense of self worth is tied to strangers double tapping on a picture, or you just love diarrhea, I implore you to skip this place for dignity's sake.

My boyfriend and I came here and we were waiting for another group but they ended up having a mix up with the time. So it ended up just being the two of us. The guys were wonderful. They served a mix of sushi, cooked food ( fried eel, fish, wagyu steak), and dessert at the end (flan). The vibe made the experience so much better. They played music, sung, and danced with us. I had a wonderful time!

This place is not worth the price in any way... claims it's a speakeasy but nothing about it is a speakeasy and all the courses were very mid and didn't pair well with each other. Not really omakase in my opinion. Would not recommend.

This place was a zero. Started in a "waiting room" or a covid hut with 12 other guests. The sweet shrimp was sitting in a martini glass for no less than 15 minutes before it was served, the warm dishes were cold, the sake was room temperature, the price was not cheap. Multiple pieces tasted fishy(yellow tail and fatty tuna). If you want to spend an hour and half watching the a Japanese Omakase experience destroyed to shreds, go here. Otherwise, save the time, poor experience and money and go elsewhere.
