Uotora

"Uotora in Crown Heights is an another cross between a neighborhood place and a somewhat high-end sushi spot. The staff is friendly, the space is small, bright, and minimally decorated, and there are some sushi and sashimi platters that aren’t outrageously expensive. But at the same time, you can sit at the bar and eat a serious $85, 13-course omakase. You’ll get things like uni and toro, along with an interesting selection of whatever fish they have in stock. If king salmon is on the menu, ask for it to be dressed with dashi." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman

"Consider moving to Crown Heights. Or, if you already live in Crown Heights, consider remaining there. Because there’s an excellent neighborhood sushi spot called Uotora. If you call 718-513-0724 or order on their website, you can walk over and pick up some fatty tuna rolls or a sushi set for $25. They also deliver." - team infatuation

"If you want to spend an upsetting amount of money on dinner, omakase is generally a good way to go. While $105 is not nothing, the omakase at Uotora is a relatively good deal for 10 pieces of high-quality fish, plus assorted sashimi, a handroll, and more. You can also order à la carte if you don’t sit at the bar, and they offer a few different sushi/sashimi plates. Uotora is certainly nicer than your average neighborhood sushi spot, but it’s still casual and friendly." - Kenny Yang, Bryan Kim, Nikko Duren, Hannah Albertine, Matt Tervooren

"Uotora in Crown Heights is a reasonably-priced, excellent sushi spot that flies in most of their fish from Japan every day and still keeps their sushi omakase well below $100. In addition to sushi sets for $25 and a la carte specials, they also offer a $65 omakase with 10 pieces of sushi as well as salad, soup, and a handroll. Call 718-513-0724 ahead of time to reserve one of their five tables outside." - hannah albertine
