Too many torched pieces for my preference. Hokkaido Uni and scallop didn't feel as fresh as when I tried it at other restaurants. I was full by the end of the 13 courses. Service is great. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable omakase experience where every piece hits, you can trust this place. Also, BYOB without corkage fee

A fantastic value for an omakase experience in the East Village! At $69 for a 13-piece omakase, you…read moreshouldn't expect top-tier, luxury sushi, but the quality is genuinely good. The chef mentioned that most of the fish is sourced directly from Japan, depending on market availability. The fish is pre-sliced and served piece-by-piece if you are seated at the bar. They run on a strict 60-minute schedule, meaning there are seatings every hour. It is a very tight timeframe, but it worked out completely fine for us. Another huge plus is their BYOB policy with no corkage fee, and they do offer some basic drinks like tea and sakes as well. Overall, it's not the absolute best omakase in the city, but considering the price and freshness, it's incredibly hard to beat.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

A dear friend recommended this spot for my NYC trip, and I wasn't sure we'd be able to fit it in. I'm so glad we did. We arrived right when they opened and were seated immediately, no reservation needed (although recommended). The staff is warm, kind, and welcoming, and the service from our lovely server Dulce was truly top-notch. The food felt fresh, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. I'm a sucker for agedashi tofu, and even though it wasn't overly bold, it was still comforting and delicious. We also had miso soup, sushi rolls, mushrooms en papillote, wagyu yaki shabu, kisu tempura, and the matcha crème brûlée--which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The discovery of matcha salt was a highlight on its own--such a simple detail, but completely mind-blowing. Every dish showed an incredible attention to detail and balance. A truly wholesome and satisfying dining experience!

The experience itself was great made up by the the service since they were very attentive, and the ambiance was perfect, ideal for a date night since they never rush you. A standout moment was their thoughtful gesture of comping the dessert for my friend's birthday. The only noticeable drawback was the sushi itself, I felt the fish could have been fresher overall. Despite that, I was surprised and impressed to learn this restaurant is a sister establishment to Cha An and Hi Collar

The quality of the fish is fresh and delicious as well, which makes this absolutely worth it! When making a reservation, be sure to get a bar seat for the full experience. You start off with a seasonal fish and then go through 11 nigiri pieces while finishing with a tiny handroll. Some of my favorite pieces were the salmon foie gras, wagyu uni, fatty tuna, shrimp, and scallop. It wasn't super full, but quite content by the end of the meal. Of course you can also add more piece à la carte if you please. When you're not feeling AYCE omakase, this is something I'd come back for often. It is such an affordable spot when you want to also treat yourself. The only negative I have is high tight the seats are to each other, so they really fill up the restaurant space.

They're pretty strict on where they want to seat you so you just have to take what they offer. Then you're taken on a culinary adventure. It's delicious and offer a great variety of flavors. There's torching, gold dusting, topping off with caviar.. all types of nice touches. I did enjoy the experience here until they abruptly ended it without a soft warning and pretty much ushered us out. I feel like they can do better with communicating with their customers. Inside it's classic chill Japanese style counter spaces. The service is very matter of fact. They're so busy that I think they can care less about the experience and more about the efficiency. I am not dying to come back here but if someone wants to try it I wouldn't say no to come back.

Chef Toshio Matsuoka has been a sushi chef for longer than I have existed on this planet and curates an incredible experience with fish flown in straight from Japan. Getting to watch him work just three feet in front of us was its own kind of gratifying. Highlights for me were trying things I've not seen on a menu anywhere else, like gizzard shad and chicken grunt. Flavors were clean, deeply savory, and balanced. There are six seats at the bar. We had the first three seats, which meant Chef Matsuoka was serving the absolute largest and best parts of the best cuts to just us. Is it fair to everyone else? No. Am I complaining? Also no. (And suddenly I kind of understand Republicans.) I thoroughly enjoyed every touchpoint, from the speakeasy phone that is so New York, to the selection of fish, to the departing memento with one last puzzle -- every detail was highly considered with a thoughtfulness that is seemingly harder and harder to come by in this world.

Since I was dining alone, I ended up chatting quite a bit with the chef--he was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really elevated the whole experience. He even gave me a couple of extra nigiri to try while we were talking, which was a really nice touch. Flavor-wise, it's what you'd expect from a solid New York-style omakase night out--creative, well-executed, and satisfying without being over the top. Everything hit the mark, and there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy. They've only recently opened, so if you're looking for a new omakase spot to try, I'd definitely recommend stopping by and showing them some support.
