    Not a bad first omakase experience. Way more casual but the quality was still amazing. Every bite was indeed delicious. Great amount for the price. Faves were Unagi with Foie Gras, Otoro, Wagyu, and Salmon Belly. Pay with cash for a 4% discount!!

    My boyfriend and I had our first date here 4 years ago, we make sure to come at least once a year! The quality is unbeatable. Gib was our chef and not only was she super sweet but very well versed on her courses. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great omakase experience for a reasonable price.

    Matsunori is a great small and casual omakase spot with two affordable menu options. $58 for 9 pieces or $88 for 2 apps, 10 pieces and two handrolls. Jackie and the team are great fun and bring a very happy energy to the place. Overall the service is quick but we never felt rushed. It's BYOB but they also serve a small menu of sake and beers.

    AMAZING! We recently went here for my fiance's birthday with 7 of our friends. The restaurant is very small and could seat about 11 people max. The sushi chefs and the manager/owner (I assume) was very engaging and attentive for the entire meal! This restaurant is BYOB and the omakase is only $88. You really can't beat the price for the quality of fish and service you're getting! My personal favorite was the Spanish Mackerel which was shocking because I honestly don't like Mackerel due to their fishier taste but here, it was mild and very buttery. The chef even persuaded me to try the uni and foie gras combination which was so buttery and delicious. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a deal, great service and a fun atmosphere.

    Matsunori is our go-to omakase spot, and we've been three times already. Their BOGO 1/5 deal, ending on 2/29, was a great incentive for us to revisit. But what's got us even more excited is their upcoming hand rolls omakase concept starting in March. Plus, hearing about their expansion to a bigger location just adds to the anticipation. We can't wait to see what's next for them! Very friendly staff. Their homemade yuzu sake was amazing! BYOB without fee is chefs kiss!

    I recently celebrated my birthday at Matusnori with 9 of my best friends so we had the whole restaurant to ourselves! Don't think I could've chosen a better restaurant to celebrate! Everything about the experience was 10/10, from the omakase to service to overall experience. Fave pieces of the night for me were the Scallop with Uni and Toro with Caviar. Also loved the Toro hand roll and the end. In total, we got 2 appetizers, 10 pieces of sushi, 2 hand rolls, and a piece of fruit. Since I was the birthday girl, they also gave me a matcha ice cream! The sushi chefs and employees were super friendly and offered us the yuzu sake on the house!! BYOB - they were very on top of it with the pours which we all appreciated. I really liked that for the reservation of 10, all I needed to do was make a res on Resy beforehand. I didn't need a deposit or a more expensive omakase menu unlike many other places that I checked in Manhattan. Overall great birthday experience! My friends and I all loved the experience and can't wait to be back. We did the BOGO 50% off so it came out to about $90 a person, which is a great deal for a filling and delicious omakase.

    Matsunori sits ~10 people in a very cramped space (think, difficult to walk behind chairs if they're hung with winter coats). So imagine how uncomfortable we were when, before we had even begun our meal, one of the sushi chefs started yelling at the only server. They argued first in English, then in Mandarin--which was doubly awkward for me since I could understand them in both. The yelling went on for a solid 5-10 min. It took us another 10 min to get basic things like water, since the server was clearly too frazzled. The food was basic and forgettable. No creative toppings or sauces. But for ~$68, I guess beggars can't be choosers. At the end of our meal, things came to a head yet again between the chef and the server, and this time, they yelled at each other for maybe 15-20 min. It was so loud, we couldn't even pretend to ignore it and carry on our conversation. And it was super inconvenient, since all we wanted to do was pay and leave, but the server was the only one who could process our card (and he was too busy being yelled at). Oh, and there's strong insistence on paying your bill via cash or Venmo. In fact, there's a BOGO offer if you pay by cash. Totally not sketchy.... Omakase menu below, in case you care. I don't. I won't be coming back. Appetizers: - Bluefin tuna with wasabi yuzu - Yellowtail sashimi with onion dressing Nigiri: - Japanese red snapper - Sea bass - Mackerel with truffle sea salt and shiso - Barca with mustard seed and seaweed - Salmon roe with yuzu skin - Yellowtail - Bluefin tuna - King salmon with manchego cheese - Otoro (fatty tuna) - Scallop and uni from Hokkaido Hand roll: - Eel and black truffle - Tuna

    Went when they had a BOGO half off deal! Really good fish quality, chef was personable and explained each course. No frills omakase!

    A cozy spot for delicious omakase tucked into the LES -- the value is great, with two menus for $58 and $88, respectively! You get an appetizer, 9 nigiri and 2 hand rolls for the $58 menu -- this is such a steal. The space itself is super intimate, would recommend coming with a friend or two. The fish was super fresh and tasty -- literally every single bite was delicious, with my favorites being the sashimi appetizer and Chutoro Tuna. There was a good mix of raw and torched fish, too. If you're looking for a quality omakase which doesn't break the bank, cannot recommend this enough.

    This was my first omakase experience and I had a great time at matsunori! They offer two different packages, a $58 package and an $88 package. We got the $88 package. The appetizers were alright but I really liked the fish and my favorite was the wagyu! They also gave us a glass of their yuzu sake for free and a refill for free too! The restaurant seats about 10 people and is quite small and intimate. The whole experience takes about an hour. I would come back if I want a no frills omakase experience.

    If you're looking for a first foray into omakase, Matsunori is a great place to start! The fish selection and preparation is subtle yet distinct, delivering a coherent meal that has good variety. Both the smaller and larger omakase options are great, but for me the smaller was plenty (though I've had both). Not quite as much of an event as a fancier omakase experience but that can be a benefit if you're new to it. Aside from the food, the service is nice, atmosphere is cramped in a cozy way, so grab 2-3 friends, sit at the bar, and enjoy some fish.

    Loved that they have two omakase options. One was $58 for 1 appetizer, 9 nigiri and 1 hand roll and the other was $88 for 2 appetizers, 10 nigiri and 2 hand rolls. We were starving so we got the latter. We also brought our own sake. They generously supplied us with a bed of ice and sake cups free of charge. They actually have a drink menu themselves - alcoholic and nonalcoholic. They even offered us a cup of their House Yuzu Sake which was delicious- tart and sweet. It really shows they just want their customers to have a good time. All pieces were sizable and hearty. I loved the fatty ones such as Otoro and King Salmon. There's a special a la carte menu that's not included in the omakase and the prices range from $10-$25 a piece. At the end of the meal, they gave us a few pieces of cantaloupe which was a lovelyFYI - paying in cash avoids the 4% credit card service fee.

    Patrick W.

    TLDR: Very well-priced and if you're looking for a budget omakase with good volume Matsunori is good. The BOGO 50% deal for cash payment is great if it's still available. Flavor-wise though, you get what you pay for. Service is wonderful, really friendly folks. I saw the promotion and figured we'd check it out. You can also bring your own bottles which is a plus. The volume of the meal is decent and for an omakase meal, it's on the cheaper side for sure. To be candid though, probably one of the less enjoyable cheapish omakases for me. The pieces I felt were overly-sauced which muted the taste of the fish completely. Sauces were either too sweet, too heavy. I understand the purpose of it but I'd probably like a bit more minimalist dressing. The team is super friendly but just being honest - I think there are better options even at the cheaper price.

    Izakaya Fuku in New York offers the kind of dining experience that feels memorable from the very…read morestart. Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.

Great decor and ambiance as always. Wish the grilled shrimps come with shell on, and with salt only (no sauce).

    Yakitori Totto has been around for ages, and I've visited this location in person a few times…read morethough it's been a while! Their location is a little hidden, it's on the second floor above Soba Noodle Azuma on 55th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, closer to 8th. You have to go up a stairwell on the side. Getting to the food, their focus is on meat, seafood and vegetable skewers though they also have a variety of appetizers, rice bowls and noodles, and dessert. The meats and veggies are grilled over charcoal while basted with "tare", a house-made sauce that adds a level of umami to the caramelized grill flavors. Recently I got a handful of skewers for takeout, including: - Ebi (shrimp) $8 x 2: the shrimp were cooked just right, tender and juicy, yum! - Hotate Eringi (scallop and oyster mushrooms) $8 x 2: the textures of the oyster mushrooms and scallop pieces complemented each other, and were kinda similar. Another tasty offering. - Negi pon (pork belly with scallions) $7: I'm not a huge fan of pork belly in general, though they grilled it well here and chopped scallions added a little spicy tickle. While not the cheapest for skewers that you can find, (and inflation hasn't helped,) their flavors are authentic and their quality and consistency is key here. I'm glad it's still here since there seems to be fewer and fewer good yakitori spots in Manhattan these days. They used to have another location in the city though I believe this closed pre-pandemic, however from their website they now have another location in Boston. This was also the sister restaurant to Ramen Totto which had four locations at one point though all have shuttered as well. Hope this location stays around for a long time!
