Thirteen Water West

Great omakase at <$100pp. There are steps into the restroom and a slight salt fish water smell in the restaurant. The entrance door does not close well so it feels a little drafty. The flavors are delicious and decadent. The use of tomato was great. The sushi is prepared in front of you. The staff are friendly and expertly torch certain pieces.

Great taste, but for me too much fish, I would love to have more beef and scallops all mixed together in one meal. The matcha beer was wonderful !

The omakase was AMAZING 🤩 on of my favorites in the city for reasonable price. Chef jimmy was super attentive and accommodating with my allergies. He puts a lot of thought and effort into each sushi piece. I’ll keep coming here :)

DO NOT and I mean DO NOT recommend this place. The experience was terrible from the start. There is a little waiting hall when you walk in but NO ONE to greet you or to bring you in. It’s just all other guests that made reservations. There were guests walking out and told us we had to go find the host?????? We were then led to the back room where there were four counter laid out in an oval with four chefs. I would have to say it was louder than a bar in there. I asked to be moved over to the middle of the counter in front of the chef so I could see the preparation of the food but was ignored by both waitresses. The servers walked around pouring water (also spilled water all over the counter for another guest and never went to clean it up) and never came back to ask for our alcohol order even though everyone else got theirs (some people are probably saying why didn’t you flag them down and place the order? That’s because there was no one around). So we didn’t end up ordering alcohol. There was a bone in the first course (the couple sitting next to us found one as well) and we told the waitress and she took the plate and left. Came back with another plate and left without giving us time to say anything and she did not apologize for anything. None of the courses were outstanding. Just fish on rice. We asked for the check the minute we finished our last course and my boyfriend was nice enough to leave a 10% tip for the bad experience and lack of service we got.

My freind took me here for my birthday and I just had to go back asap, taking another friend for his birthday. The omakase is well thought out and fish super fresh. Delicious, satisfying and beautiful. I love the design of the restaurant kind of Japanese brutalist and last but not least the staff are just so lovely. I can’t wait to go back again, next week.

There’s no ambiance. The setting feels oddly residential which could have been unique, but the service was lax with staff dressed in hoodies who served diners whenever they had a chance to step away from whatever they were doing on their tablets. $75 for omakase is a good value and the sushi was fresh. The add ons were expensive in comparison (~$15 per Handroll). Ultimately an underwhelming experience.

We loved it 🍣 Every piece was very unique and creative. Significantly better than some of the omakases we tried in NYC.

Outstanding quality and value. I went with coworkers from Hudson Yards which anyone who works there knows has plenty of overpriced fancy restaurants you’d only go on someone else’s dime. It may be the best value omakase I have ever had. We had seven or so pieces for $75. We were never rushed but finished comfortably in an hour with no add on’s. I love that they use caviar and truffle - even lightly fried tomato with salmon - but those toppings only enhanced the high quality seafood and never overwhelmed it. I have never liked scallop sushi and it was very delicious here. One of our coworkers came 30 minutes late so they assembled a beautiful plate for him.
