TAKUMI OMAKASE

Takumi Omakase in the LES was honestly one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in NYC. Instead of a fixed number of courses, the chef serves endless omakase piece by piece for about 90 minutes, and you can keep going until the time ends or until you decide you’re full. It makes the experience feel really personal and relaxed, and every piece is served fresh right in front of you. The fish quality was incredible and each piece was thoughtfully prepared by the chef. You can tell a lot of care goes into every bite. Also a fun little perk, if you leave a Google review, they offer complimentary sake, which is a great touch while enjoying the meal. Just make sure you save some room for dessert at the end… it’s worth it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique omakase experience in the Lower East Side.

Dining at Takumi was an absolutely amazing from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed. They were attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegant and relaxed, with soft lighting and an intimate counter that lets you watch each course being crafted with care. Every piece of fish was incredibly fresh, the textures and flavors speaking for themselves. Each bite reminded me how exceptional true omakase can be without breaking the bank. My wife and I had the endless omakase option. Highly recommended. The location is also great since it's near a lot of bars and clubs.

Me and my partner went for their endless omakase $118pp and we enjoyed the first few courses that came out however when it got to the “endless omakase” portion we were expecting it to be different from all the other AYCE omakase we tried because they promoted it as staying true to the quality instead of swapping the fishes out with a poorer quality which they did. But what got us disappointed was that they also said “Endless” so we were expecting to be able to request however many pieces of fish we wanted without compromising the quality like what other AYCE omakases do. Hence why we’re were willing to pay more than what other AYCE omakases were charging. But instead it was chefs choice so we weren’t able to request what we wanted we also couldn’t get however many pieces we wanted either. Total pieces I had was 32 pieces and that was within a 90min time frame which included the starting 15 pieces. Maybe for some of u guys you’d be able to get full off that but I could’ve had a couple more. A few other things that made it feel less like an endless omakase was the time constraint 90min we had a pretty slow chef who talked to the customers this meant he paused his work as he was talking so we also had to patiently wait till he stopped talking and go back to making our food. We also heard some staff say “are u almost done” to the sushi chef and they replied saying “no I have 2 more” so it felt pretty scripted to be exactly a certain amount of pieces you should be eating rather than it being truly endless. Additionally I felt like after the first 10 pieces there really wasn’t much flavor to any of them that really wowed us. It tasted pretty bland compared to other omakases we had. I did however liked the first 2 pieces we had and the squid. I understand they are still doing test trials so I hope they take this review as a way to improve and adjust. The service was ok. I liked the lighting that came from the window. However it was pretty cold inside the place or perhaps it was just me but I was freezing.

Started with a slightly off tone due to some seating issues, but they quickly made up for it. Staff is very hospitable, and attentive. The restaurant fits about a dozen people at the bar with a few tables by the wall. Quite clean and nice atmosphere. We got the Endless Omakase and promptly lost count! 15 course base plus Chef's Choice unlimited. Variety is good, and in particular I enjoyed the smoked wagyu, bluefin tuna, oyster, eel, and scallop with lime zest. Perfect date spot!

Been here twice and had an absolutely amazing experience both times!! Their endless omakase can’t be skipped, it’s mouthwatering!! We loveddd their: • Bluefin tuna w truffle paste - IMO the BEST bite! • Spanish mackerel w cherrywood smoke • Fatty tuna w uni (sea urchin) • Steelhead trout w crispy onions • Salmon w foi gras • Hokkaido scallop w truffle salt Highly recommend Takumi on the lower east side in NYC!!

We had a 7:00 PM Friday reservation to celebrate a major milestone, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. We tried reaching out afterward through the restaurant’s website, but their “contact” form/server does not work. We eat omakase frequently, and this was the first time we’ve ever had to leave in the middle of a meal, due to food quality. At the beginning, the quality was good. However, once we reached the tuna and red snapper courses, the quality noticeably declined. My girlfriend’s red snapper tasted foul and not fresh. She nearly spit it out but didn’t want to create a scene in front of other diners. On the way home and later that night, she became ill. I also experienced an upset stomach. I discreetly pulled our server aside to explain the issue rather than mentioning it in front of other guests. They seemed shocked but not particularly apologetic when I raised concerns about the fish quality. There were also service inconsistencies. After we were served our second course (yellowtail), another server took mine back because it was missing the sauce. Apparently everyone’s was missing it, but others had already eaten theirs. Mine was corrected only because I hadn’t started. For an omakase experience, this kind of mistake is unusual — dishes are typically executed correctly the first time. Additionally, timing and service felt off. The sushi bar guests were receiving their plates immediately, while we were left waiting at our table. The overall dynamic felt unusual for omakase. While the servers were polite, the service was slow. Reservations were also confusing. We — along with other couples — did not realize we had booked a table instead of the bar. The reservation system lists “Omakase Table,” and there was no available option for “Omakase Bar,” which made the distinction unclear. Overall, a very disappointing experience for what was meant to be a special celebration.

We came here for a celebratory date night last night and tried their AYCE omakase for $130pp. We learned that it was BYOB when we got there and was able to conveniently pick up a bottle of good sake from a liquor store down the street (<5 min walk). The food, vibe, sushi chef, customer service was 10/10! The pieces were imported from all over the world and our chef, Lee, was so passionate about the quality and worked to get our belly’s full and happy. I will definitely come back here and will try their regular omakase as well!

Takumi Omakase was the first omakase experience for us and it totally delivered! The service was amazing and each bite just kept on getting better! The eel, salmon and uni were the show stoppers😍 Great hospitality and vibed, would recommed if you’re looking to eat good in NY!

One of the best meals I've ever had. Every single piece was mind-blowing. The chef was also so sweet, and we got to talk to him a bit about his career as a chef. The counter seating is super cozy and cute, and I love how intimate the place feels. I came here for my birthday dinner, and the staff presented me with a handwritten card and a small bottle of sake. The handwritten card was so incredibly sweet, and it started my experience off on a great note. We didn't realize the place was BYOB (we will definitely be bringing a beverage next time), so we got a bottle of their yuzu sake. Absolutely delicious. So refreshing! Like I said, every single piece was amazing. There were three appetizers, 11 nigiri pieces, and one handroll (total of 15 courses). At $89, this place is a great deal. The appetizers were all so delicious, and I was super surprised that one of them came with two very sizable slices of fish. Generous, indeed! And onto the nigiri. At other omakase places, I've felt that in general, everything was good and there were a few standout pieces. I'm not kidding when I say that every single piece was astounding. The fish was so fresh, it just melted in your mouth. The flavor pairings were immaculate. The tuna/caviar piece felt like liquid gold in my mouth. I usually hate scallop at omakase, but their scallop nigiri changed me for the better. I cannot say better things about this meal. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday and I am counting down the days until I'll be back.

As someone who's had their fair share of omakase experiences in NYC, Takumi Omakase is by far one of the best omakase places I have ever been to. You know an omakase place is good when they don't have to do anything super special to the fish to really highlight just how fresh each piece is. For the quality of fish you get, $89 for 15 courses is 100% worth it. My boyfriend and I treated our friends to a meal here during one of our most recent visits. My absolute favorites were the the Kuramoto oyster (I've never had an oyster with yuzu... it make it taste so light and refreshing!), salmon, eel, scallop, and sea bream, but I'm not kidding when I say every piece was spectacular. This place is BYOB, but we also got the Dassai Sake, which paired really well with the omakase. Honestly, I'm shocked that it was so easy to get a reservation to this place last minute. I left this place in a giddy sort of feeling that you only get when you've had a meal that has really shocked you. Definitely recommend to anyone that wants to try omakase in the city and 10/10 would go again.

This place was excellent for an omakase dinner. I recommended coming early to get a seat at the bar. I didn't know this so we can right on time for our reservation and we're not able to sit at the bar. I love how they have appetizers to ease you into the courses. The oyster was amazing and soooo flavorful. The second appitizer was sashimi and was the freshest cut of delicious dish. Next was the warm cod that melted in your mouth. Then came the sushi pieces. All so delicious and flavorful. Everything was so fresh and presented beautifully. The restaurant is dimly lit and romantic. The staff was very friendly and fun. Even though we didn't sit by the bar I could see some of what the chefs were doing from afar. Great experience I would come again to get a bar seat!

We booked Takumi on Resy for a weekday and we did their 8:45 seating which was apparently their last for the evening. They accommodated my shellfish allergy which was great! Our sushi chef was great at giving us enough info about each item we were getting. Some favorites were the otoro, the oyster appetizer and the unagi hand roll at the end. I think about the unagi fondly to this day. It's a small place with maybe 14ish bar seats and a few tables. Not sure if they seat you if you dont make a reservation, but they do have a time limit for seating so they can clear out for upcoming groups. The best part? This place is was $89 a person, which is completely unheard of for an omakase place in NYC. Cheap didnt mean bad or anything, it was fantastic, felt like great value and I will absolutely come back here again.

the fish here MAKES ME FERALLLLLLL I loved every course so so much and the fish is sooo fresh. It's just a bit expensive ($89 per person) for nyc and I also didn't know each bottle of still water was $8... (we got 2)

Food: 6/10 Was influenced by tiktok sadly...don't believe everything you see online. I would say the oyster starter was my favorite dish. Each piece had me feeling like something was missing. I went to an omakase the day after and realized that the quality of the fish here is not the same as what I have had at previous places. Felt hungry after and did need a second meal after this one. I would say that the meal here was pretty average, nothing special and not something to come back for especially at a price point close to $100 a person. FYI It's BYOB. Service: 9/10 nice waiters and staff Ambiance: Cute omakase area with a few tables in the back. One bathroom to use for customers.

The omakase was straightforward and reasonably priced, but none of the fish selections particularly stood out or left a lasting impression. Overall, it was decent, but nothing exceptional.

Such a DELICIOUS experience! For $89 you get 15 rounds (3 apps, 11 nigiri, and a hand roll). The place is intimate and the staff is extremely skilled and informative. If you're looking for an omakase experience that is affordable and delicious you should definitely check it out!

Such a great time at Takumi last night. We had a 10:15PM seating and had the whole restaurant for our group. We were a little late starting but the staff was very understanding and accommodating. The food was amazing, the scallop, wagyu, and salmon were definitely some of the standouts for me. Good sake selection and they threw all of the bottles we brought in on ice for us. The team was interacting with our party and constantly checking in on how we were enjoying the food. They even threw in some mochi for my bf so we could sing happy birthday. 100/10 experience, can't recommend this place enough, the absolute best $89 you'll ever spend.

Just finished an omakase dinner here. Was fantastic, extremely affordable for what we got. Every portion was delicious service was fantastic and I will definitely be coming again. A very approachable delicious sushi restaurant.

My partner and I decided to try Takumi based on some recommendations, and overall, we were glad that we went! The staff and chefs were friendly, informative, and very attentive. The food itself was very fresh and high quality, and we felt like we got a good value for our experience. We didn't have any pieces that were particularly unique (e.g; wouldn't find at similarly priced omakase experiences), but everything we had was delicious. Also, it's nice that they have BYOB (we brought our own sake).

Takumi offers 15pcs omakase for $89 and it is definitely worth booking! It is a small, cozy spot where two chefs really make the experience! I absolutely LOVED the three starters as they were so good, and all the other pieces tasted so fresh and savory. The chef asks after the first piece or so if you would like more wasabi or not and they really try to cater to you! I think this is one of the omakase places are are reasonably priced for their great value and service!

Solid omakase experience for a great price. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Ambiance was quieter but that is usual for omakase. The BYOB option is great If you want to bring your own wine or sake.

It's a small place, and it can get really crowded, and you may have to wait outside because there's no room inside, but the wait is worth it. Each and every dish was mastered perfectly, and I kept telling myself that the last bite has to be the best one yet. Each bite was so tender, fresh, rich, and fun. I think the price per person for our omakase ran around $65ish which is very reasonable. When I'm visiting NY, I'd love to visit Takumi again.

This was such a fun place full of vibrant chefs and waiters/waitresses! I came here for a dinner with my partner and honestly, because of the fun I had here eating the fish and learning about the fish from the chefs, I would rate it a 4.5/5 stars. The space itself is a bit small and cramped but not to worry, you will be too busy eating to even notice. The chef who made our food was high spirited and it was great watching him and his fellow chefs laugh and smile with their customers and with one another. I felt that it really brightened up the atmosphere. One small drawback I noticed was that these chefs don't really seem as expereinced as other chefs I have had omakase from. Sometimes the cuts and portions were not really consistent but they were so focused and had such fierce determination and the food was still delicious. So I think that didn't matter as much since I'm not a food critic or a sushi chef. It was just something I had noticed. I do think that a few pieces were not as flavorful but many were and surprised me because they were different from other omakases. I loved their miso cod appetizer and something I had never seen at omakase before - eel with foie gras. It tasted creamy and paired well with the eel. I also really enjoyed the fatty tuna they had. It was so soft to eat and honestly I thought it was even better than the wagyu. Lastly, you can't forget about the uni, and the chef gave such a huge portion of it too! They ended the omakase with a handroll which was new to me but I liked that it was different. I feel that this place was really unique and I honestly look forward to coming back in the new year. It's affordable, delicious, and such good vibes so I can easily see this place as one of my go - to omakase spots in the city. Next time I will be bringing my own drinks since it's BYOB.

Such a great experience! A well-paced, budget omakase that offers all the premium pieces and exceptional service at only $89. The omakase starts off with some complimentary miso soup which comes out hot and savory without being overly salty. The three appetizers are delicious! My favorite was the miso cod, which melted in my mouth, but I also loved the refreshing touch of the oyster with yuzu cream. My favorite pieces of the omakase included the wagyu, eel with goi gras, spanish mackerel, uni (so extremely fresh), and wagyu... they definitely execute extremely well on the cooked pieces of fish. The raw pieces were all extremely solid, but nothing extremely outstanding. The yellowtail handroll was delicious though; it was a nice change from the typical toro handroll at omakases. The service was also excellent! I was celebrating my friend's birthday and they gifted her a handwritten birthday card, a mini-can of sake, and green tea mochi ice cream with a candle :) Great place to celebrate a birthday and enjoy quality pieces at an affordable price. The meal was also filling, which was a huge plus.

Amazing experience. And will definitely come back! Chef Mike is very nice. Worth the price!!! They have Hokkaido uni and a lot of kinds of in season fish.

Easy 5-star, 10/10 would recommend spot. Too bad it's almost 3000 miles away! Crazy to think that this was just a treat until the next NY trip. Loved this place so much it's a must visit for next time and byob?? A literal dream. Chef Matthew explained each course thoroughly. He was fun overall and we were glad to experience this. The host/server was also very kind. Every single course was memorable and it felt so unreal because how good it was. A few did stick out as personal favorites but ALL fresh and just melts in your mouth. No specific order but my top 3. -torched salmon -A5 wagyu -toro w/ caviar All our of reaction for each course was "OMG" This was one of our first dinner spots when visiting NY and we agreed that it was our favorite. I NEED this experience again.

This was an amazing under-$100 omakase experience! The chef and server were both super knowledgable and friendly, and answered all the questions we had about the food. Beautiful, high quality sushi pieces, with fresh and tasty fish imported from Japan and around the world. Will definitely be recommending to others for future NYC trips! Also really liked the intimate bar seating, close to the chef

Fresh fish and great appetizers for a great price. Service was quick but detailed. I was able to get a table seat with a last minute reservation on Mother's Day which I was grateful for. The restaurant is small and quaint. I would definitely come again

We went on a weekday with a reservation and the restaurant was not busy. There was only one other party when we went and the restaurant is on the smaller end. We sat near the window so there was good lighting. The host, perhaps the owner, was very friendly. We went for my friends birthday and I would recommend it as a birthday spot! The food was good, and I would return, but I am more likely to try other places. The set came with 3 appetizers, 11 nigiri, and 1 hand roll, and we each added on 2 additional pieces. My favorite was the unagi!

We've dined at takumi omakase well over a dozen times, and they have yet to disappoint us. Food is always fresh, service and hospitality will rival 5 star restaurant. The misses and I have been to dozens of omakase places around the city from budget to michelin star and this is our go to place. This place is such a good vibe.

10/10 Best we've ever had! Every fish was our favorite (each one topped the last) Ask for sushi chef Lee! He's an expert at his craft and will ensure you have the best time ever

I came here for a double date and it was one of the best omakase spots I've been to! They seated us right away and the sushi chef was so accommodating. He would adjust the wasabi amount according to our preferences and made sure to ask if we didn't like anything to let him know. The vibes are so comfortable as there many other people there having a good time talking to one another. Definitely an amazing omakase spot and would love to come back!

TLDR: Excellent choice for an omakase under $100. Generous one bottle BYOB too! Worth a visit. Omakase has become so mainstream at this point that I almost approach new shops with caution. Under $100 tasting menus have become the trend that there's such an over saturation of sushi bars lately. Takumi was one that stood out to me. While the restaurant is small, they're booked fairly regularly and for good reason. BYOB policy for 1 bottle and a good variety of fish with excellent sushi rice. Far better than what I'd expect for a place at this price point. Some of the pieces are served more traditional while others have punchier flavors. The wagyu with foie gras (although over done at many places) was fantastic. Not too greasy, wonderful sear on the foie gras and full of flavor. I think with how popular omakase has become, it gives a lot of shops the opportunity to showcase their work. Takumi is actually one of those spots that I would say exceeded my expectations taste-wise.

15 course omakase meal that includes a few appetizers, nigiri and a hand roll at the end. Every dish was unique and delicious, they definitely use high end fish. Service was quick and it was a nice casual vibe at the sushi bar. My favorites were the king salmon w truffle salt, the tuna hand roll, a5 wagyu w Hokkaido uni, and the interesting balsamic tomato fish appetizer they had at the beginning. Left pretty full from this meal, but the party next to us actually ordered a second entire omakase course cause they loved it so much Would definitely come back

I stumbled upon this omakase spot near my hotel - you know, the kind that serves up affordable sushi adventures. Did it stand out? Well, kinda. First off, the staff? Pretty cool and welcoming, making the whole vibe pretty chill. The place itself? Cozy setup, perfect for a laid-back date night. Think dim lights, cool decor - that sort of thing. But let's chat about what really matters - the sushi. No doubt, they didn't skimp on quality. Every piece was like a tiny work of art. Fresh and tasty, they definitely know their sushi game. From the sashimi that's practically melting in your mouth to the rice that's just right, it's a sushi lover's paradise. Now, here's the deal - don't go in expecting to leave with a food coma. They're more about quality than quantity. So, did it totally change the game for omakase? Not exactly. But it's got its charms. Great service, a cozy atmosphere, and some seriously good sushi. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just up for a nice dinner, it's worth checking out. Trust me, it's a delicious adventure waiting to happen."

Extremely unsatisfied and left disappointed. Compared to the other fast sushi joints, this one would rank the lowest. First it felt a bit stuffy. Second, the quality of fish weren't to me all that great. Each piece of sushi was extremely small. The rice was ok but it didn't feel like it was prepared well. Eh. Just a big eh.

AMAZING 10/10!!!!!!!!! ended up $125pp after tax+tip with no add-ons. no filler dishes at all, you know your money is all going towards REAL STUFF. cute n cozy n clean interior but nothing crazy fancy. again, you know your money is going to the FOOD and nothing else. my chef was a nice Chinese guy and he introduced each dish in both languages because my friend didn't speak Chinese :") it was 4 people per chef when I went and the entire place was filled (12 customers total). I didn't feel rushed and service was consistent (in fact they might have had too many servers on the side). We dined for almost 2 hours. I saw lots of people get free sake for birthdays so I might have to come back for my own!!!

Had higher expectations but still a good time! Unfortunately we couldn't sit at the bar (something about the reservation time... a bit unclear) which took away from the experience. I wasn't a fan of the first course (oyster coated in yuzu foam) or the last (hand roll that was mostly seaweed). Nigiris were great though - loved the otoro, scallop, and wagyu. Pacing was quick - possibly too quick. Service was just fine; a bit cold and rushed. All things considered, food was above average but experience left something to be desired.

We booked out the full omakase counter for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. The chefs were all super friendly, the fish was delicious, and the meal was an amazing value. The ingredients were all top notch and this is absolutely some place I will coming back to.

Great place for omakase in lower Manhattan! The food was delicious and staffs were super friendly. We were the last shift so the owner gifted us some desserts and a hand roll. Will definitely come back again!

Good ingredients Nice service Cozy omakase place recommend Need reservation Affordable price

Pretty solid omakase place for the price. We got 15 courses for $89. Overall, they have good quality fish and the flavors were nice. Dassai sake was was also really nice and had mild sweet tones to it. Only con about this place is that they are very strict on time. We didn't have a good chance to sit back and enjoy our sake at the end of the meal because they book all their reservations back-to-back. Our service also felt extremely rushed.

Foods are fresh and good services. Chef describes every dish when served you. Friends and family are always happy to have dinner there.

Had an absolute blast with my family at Takumi. The fish was fresh and the pieces creative. The chef was kind and answered all mine and my family's questions. This was my mom's, Aunt's and brother's first omakase experience and I was worried they wouldn't enjoy/appreciate it but we really lucked out choosing Takumi. My family was still talking about the meal days later. My brother was raving about the foie gras and eel piece. The setting was so modern and chic yet invited chats. It's a great date spot for those wanting to splurge and impress!

15-course omakase for $89 (3 appetizers, 11 nigiri, 1 hand roll) plus complimentary sake. See below for the full menu. For omakase, getting 15 courses is a deal for all the tasty bites. Honestly, all of the pieces were really tasty and fresh. The different salts and torching really brought each piece to life. I don't think I could even pick a favorite, my top two were probably the Chutoro with caviar and the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. Both were so fatty and tasted luxurious. Probably, one of the most expensive meals I've ever had but totally worth it. This is one of those treat yourself spots. We came on a Monday night at 5pm so it wasn't too crowded. The staff were really friendly and asked if we had any allergies. We don't particularly like wasabi so the chef was very accommodating and only had us try one piece to decide if we wanted more pieces with wasabi. Really nice ambiance and the chef was really knowledgeable and friendly. Oyster with Yuzu foam shot Mini squid Miso Black Cod Akami (Lean Tuna) Fluke (White Fish) Sake (King Salmon) Ikura (Salmon eggs) Kanpachi (Amber Jack) Chutoro with caviar Sea scallop with truffle salt, lime Sawara (Mackerel) Hokkaido Uni (Sea Urchin) Unagi (Eel) with Foie Gras A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Toro Handroll

The omakase here is amazing! The first couple pieces are very different from other omakase's I've been to. The oyster was delicious and the presentation was even better. Would come back!!

A great omakase experience, they have different seatings so you can't really just walk in. The servers are all fantastic, it's byob or enjoy their complimentary sake that comes with the $89 omakase experience. Everything rocked - I don't usually like or care for any unique flavors like uni or eel but they both were good

Best value & quality omakase For $89, the restaurant offers 15 courses that kicks off with 3 delicious appetizers (highlighted by out of this world raw oyster with yuzu foam) and then an assortment of high end sushi including foie gras, A5 Wagyu & Hokkaido uni. For any birthday, they offer complimentary dessert! They tailor their menu based on the best fish selection & seasonal ingredients, so you can always expect a sensational meal.

Food (5/5): Got the 15 course Omakase for $89 which includes 3 appetizer, 11 nigiri, and 1 hand roll. There were a lot of fish originating from Spain, Greece, and Japan. Everything was super fresh and delicious with not a single roll that I didn't like. My favorites were the eel and seared salmon with truffle oil. Ambiance & Venue (4/5): Not a huge restaurant but it appears like a place where seriously good sushi is being served. There is a classic Japanese setting with a well lit Omakase bar area. There is sufficient seating to where it's not too cramped. There was only one bathroom but fortunately didn't have too much issue with waiting times this time. Service (5/5): Top notch service with great efficiency. It seems like they have designated times for sushi bar service and efficiently seated everyone for our 8:45pm booking. Lee was our Omakase chef and he did an amazing job of learning our preferences, chatting with us, explaining the dishes, getting to know us, and answering questions about the restaurant. The servers also did a great job of frequently refilling water, taking away plates, and checking up on us. Set a really high bar for excellent service.

Amazing!!! My friend checked to see if they had any reservations a week ahead, they did not but she asked to be notified if there were any cancellations. They emailed her early in the morning for a reservation that day so she booked it. We were running a little late and got there 10-15 mins after the time of our reservation. I was panicked but the staff was nice. They have a 15 min grace period but there is a time limit. You have to leave 1 hr 15 mins after the start of your reservation. The pieces were served quickly? 3 at a time. They gave us sake on the house but usually it's byob. I tend to not like sake but theirs was the best of all the sake I've ever tried. Was 15 courses, no dessert. Our reservation was at a table. We were seated behind the bar, along the wall. This is a pretty small space. Everything was delicious. Some favorites include oyster with a yuzu foam and the unagi. Portions were okay. It was not enough for me or my friend and we do not usually eat much. We did order one item a la carte at the end of the meal. It helped but wasn't enough overall. Still great value for omakase. I liked that the experience was intimate despite not being seated at the bar. The restaurant itself is small and the seating is a bit close together but it was still pleasant. Warm lighting throughout and servers were very prompt. I still think about this experience. Would return.

This place is amaaazing! I've been hopping around nyc trying omakase places ranging $60-$120 and this is my absolute favorite so far. All the pieces were fresh, interesting and well executed. Service was impeccable. Will definitely revisit this one!

A fantastic omakase located in the lower east side neighborhood! Definitely worth it, the vibe is great and staff is amazing! Stopped by here on a Monday and it was great energy! Good selection of sake as well. Every piece in the omakase was outstanding and very delicious!

Amazing omakase at an even more amazing price! $89 for 15 courses. I've been to a couple michelin star rated omakase sushi restaurants in the city, and although they were great, none of them beat this price point. Came here on a Sunday night for their 8:45pm reservation and we were seated at the bar--make sure you get there early because they do bar seating first! The service is incredibly hospitable. They allow byob w/ no corkage fee, but they also provided us with complimentary sake! The quality of the fish was amazing. Highlights of the meal for me were: A5 Miyazaki, Hokkaido scallop, Hokkaido Uni, and Otoro. HIGHLY recommend

Overall really liked this place - the food is amazing!! For $89, it's a fantastic omakase that include interesting flavors, ingredients and fish. All very fresh and high quality fish as well, and creative presentation and preparation. It's also nice that they have a good sake selection but allow byob too. The one reason I gave four stars instead of five is that the experience was a bit rushed. We were seated at the bar, which is nice for 2 people, but there wasn't much time to chat in between pieces. If you haven't finished the piece on your plate when the next one comes out, the staff will look a bit annoyed and push you to eat it. Again, fantastic food - but maybe not the best choice if you're looking to linger or catch up.

While most omakase allocate a strict one hour policy , this place is a little forgiving which I truly appreciate . My friend was running late 15 min due to train delays but the whole experience didn't feel rushed as we had a little over an hour left . In order to appreciate the food and experience which we did , one needs an hour . From the service to the dining experience to the food , value for quality is on point . Its cozy and has the fee of a typical Japanese omakase place. I would love to go back for more and I cannot wait . I'll let the photos speak for itself ! When going for omakase , sitting and dining at the bar is the way to go ! Photos courtesy of my friend who is equally a foodie as I am . Thanks Angela!

Relatively new, opened within the past year & has an a really great vibe. About 4 tables and then the sushi bar- really small, but we were able to get reservations pretty easily. The quality and assortment of the Omakase was incredible. The staff is helpful & sweet. Definitely recommend, great value.

Good value for Manhattan at $89 and BYOB! Fish overall was pretty good minus the tuna at the beginning - it grossed my husband out and I thought it tasted slightly spoiled/fishy. We drank a bunch of sake and took shots with the sushi chef- didn't get any extras though... bar is very crowded and the space is small. If you're craving decent fish and don't want to pay the upcharge for alcohol I would recommend this place.
