Our chef was also informative and talked about each fish and where it came from! Every piece was better than the one before. This place serves monkfish which is new to me but I didn't hate it?! All the pieces were fresh and I especially loved the Scottish salmon and the different cuts of tuna! The restaurant is tucked away in a west village basement that maybe fits 10 people at the counter.

It was my first New York omakase experience so we didn't really know which place to go to. Glad we found this one. Service was good and there is no way I could remember all of the courses but a few of my favs was the one with uni and caviar and also the dessert was soo good. It was a tofu pudding. The handrolls were also good. We also liked one with a fried tomatoe? One thing we did not like was the credit card fee. It wasn't really transparent but I think it should just be tacked on with the food price. It might be normal in New York though... We would definitely come back here if we're in New York again.

You climb down few stairs into a clean space with most of the seating around the chefs counter and some side seating. We were seated at the counter immediately, and treated to an indulgent meal. Every bite was luxury. As someone who loves shrimp in every form, a course of shrimp ended up being my least favorite of the night - which really says a LOT! Every course was better than the one before. The bite of buttery uni was my favorite, followed by perch from the specials menu, and fatty tuna. The yuzu sake carafe paired beautifully with each course and we had to get another to end our meal. We left feeling satiated, cared for, and happy.

To be honest though, I was still a bit hungry afterwards. I think omakases in general in NYC are a bit overpriced for what you get, but Sushi Ouji delivers value relative to an overpriced market.

So when I reserved this place and saw that it charges $220 per person for an omakase dinner, I'll admit I was worried about both quality and quantity. To make matters trickier, my wife and I had both recently caught colds and debated until the last minute whether to attend or forfeit the reservation. Since I was on antibiotics, I couldn't have any alcohol -- a real downside for me, since I usually enjoy a sake pairing with sushi. What happened next completely exceeded every expectation. I received here one of the greatest surprises that NYC can offer. The sushi was of the highest quality and craftsmanship, every appetizer and every stunning sushi bite uniquely flavorful, balanced, and thoughtful. The experience never once felt repetitive or dull. I want to sincerely thank Chef Jongin Jeong and the entire staff for a magical evening. Everyone -- including our fellow diners -- made us feel right at home in this intimate space. Sushi Ikumi stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best sushi restaurants in the city, including Masa, but at a fraction of the cost. I wholeheartedly applaud Sushi Ikumi and will definitely return.

The inside, so cozy and relaxing, I wanted to just sit in there and chill all night... didn't take any pictures as it felt it would be sort of rude, sorry about that. The food of course was spectacular... have you ever had a bite of food so delicious that you can't stop yourself laughing, from sheer joy? It was like that for 13 courses, I felt like we were such dorks sitting there and giggling at sushi. It was a blast. I'm mad at how good the one with roast tomato on it was. That was the best bite of tomato I've ever had. I'm gonna be thinking about it for weeks. They gave us sesame pudding as birthday dessert and we spent the entire walk home just talking about how good it was. Also worth mentioning, they respected my request for no meat besides seafood, no questions asked: I was given alternatives for the one or two courses where my lover was given beef or similar. Thank you so much Sushi Lin for making my partner so happy on his birthday! Awesome restaurant!

I also love that they prepare each piece with just the right amount of wasabi and soy sauce. The first 5 or so dishes included tuna tartare on a little thin tart shell, fish soup, and one of my favorites with a ponzu sauce. The rest of the meal was 10 different kinds of sushi. We enjoyed chatting with the chefs who answered all of our questions and even made my pieces with a little less rice as the meal progressed since I was getting so full. I also noticed they gave the people next to us, who were still hungry at the end, more pieces of sushi. I didn't adore every piece, but it was a really fun experience. There is one small step at the front door (they have an accessible entrance, but I just got a hand up the step) and the bar is regular seat height, so it was very comfortable from my wheelchair.
