I'm always in a hunt for a good omakase place for under $100. This place is great, 17-courses for $88 for dinner and lunch is 12-courses for $48. Came here around 6pm for dinner on a Tuesday. The place was not very busy. Staff were nice and welcoming. Clean spot and cozy ambiance. I thought the sushi were fresh, my personal favorites were the king salmon, eel and fatty tuna. I also enjoyed the dessert, not sure what it was called but it was very delicious. I would definitely come back and try the lunch. read more

Great deal for lunch at around $70pp after tax and tip. Came here around 1 pm on a Monday, and it was practically empty, except for 2 other people. The ambiance and service were good. Great spot for omakase and would come back. read more

Omakase 33 - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious neighborhood spot for lunch or dinner omakase. Each bite was delicious, fish was fresh, and price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity (17 courses for $88 for dinner). Be sure to make reservations in advance as they can get very busy during peak dinner times! read more

It's hard to find a better lunch deal. I think it was $48 for 12 courses. That's pretty solid, especially in NYC. Starting with an Uni/Wagyu bowl definitely got me excited for the rest to come. It was an app, but I could have eaten a portion much larger. The fish was fresh and I loved that they included my favorites. Scallop, Otoro, Sea Breem, Amber jack... wow. This is what swayed me to want to come back. The meal closed with an aged miso soup. I found this interesting, since soup is generally a starter. I did not get full from the omakase, but I seldom do. Service was very good and attentive. The inside has a large sushi counter and a few tables, and I walked right in at 12:30pm on a weekday when they opened, expecting I might be the only one. Shortly thereafter, the place started to fill up with patrons. The chef did a great job, since he had to manage serving people in a staggered manner, as those of us who arrived earlier were way ahead in the service. They do accept walk-ins, so you don't need a reservation, per say. I would probably make one if I was going for the dinner service. This was still one of the best spots for omakase in NYC and I will come back to it. read more

Holy hell... this Omakase is brilliant. Good value and amazing quality. Just back from Tokyo and this place is comparable to some of the amazing omakase / sushi there. Really great. Had a very engaged chef.... sat at the counter and had the 18 piece dinner $88 omakase. Just right in terms of feeling full / enjoying a wide range of nigiri. Everything had a nice twist... aged miso, homemade ginger, etc. Added the "chef's special" which ended with sprayed gold.... enough said. Super great whiskey / sake options also. read more

Okay. Listen up. If you're looking for a fire omakase meal during lunch, this is your spot. $48 for 12 courses? STEAL. The quality? Elite. The service? Impeccable. The ambiance? Classy. I don't know what to even say besides come try this place!! Each piece was delicious and perfectly balanced. The chef was quiet but attentive, and the pacing was spot-on -- no rush, no lag. It felt like they respected your time but also wanted you to enjoy each bite fully. The space itself is minimalist but warm, which I loved. No distractions, just a peaceful sushi counter experience that feels elevated but still approachable. Check them out! read more

I am from Chicago and try to go to Omakase everywhere I go. I have been to Omakase multiple times in NY as well - and this place....... Hands down the best ever. Ever. The ambiance is perfect, calm, classy, professional. Every chef and staff so kind. The sushi- well, amazing. And the art, phenomenal. Interaction with guests amazing. I have now been here twice. Each time perfect. Our chef, Oscar, was amazing. read more

I had an amazing time at Omakase 33. I have had my fair share of omakase in the city and this was right up there. Not only was the quality of the fish top notch, but I really (REALLY) enjoyed their take on flavor combinations. One specific, was a piece with spicy chili crisp on top. It's so nice to have a mix up of traditional dishes with a new flavor profile that works really well on top. I felt that way about every piece they added a twist too, very thoughtfully curated combinations. The staff was also incredibly friendly, I feel very fortunate to have this spot right around the corner as I WILL be back. read more

Came here again for Friday lunch and the food was leaning mediocre this time. Updating to 4 stars because the first time was great but probably won't be back because of the inconsistency read more

Dropped by here for their $50 lunch special and man I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed this spot! Each piece of fish was carefully crafted and paired. I also really enjoyed the non-sushi courses like the soup and the amazing!! mini wagyu bowl (I still think about the presentation and taste of this dish). Honestly one of my favorite value omakase lunch specials and will definitely have to come back! Only con was that we came on a hot day and the AC was not on? Not sure if that was just a one-time thing though. read more

Really enjoyed this omakase! It's not too busy like other more popular omakase spots, which I really liked. I wish they had a menu of all the pieces, but other than that, no complaints. I'll definitely be coming back to try the lunch omakase! read more

I live very close to this restaurant and was excited to see an omakase place so close to home. I have been here twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner. I think the lunch omakase is overall a great deal and portioned appropriately. You get appetizers, 8 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, and miso soup for $48. The fish was all fresh and I liked the level of seasoning. I didn't leave feeling hungry and had good interactions with the sushi chef. The dinner I was less impressed with. For $88 you get a very similar meal but with 5 extra pieces of nigiri. The sushi chef was different this time around. I thought a lot of the pieces were actually under seasoned and the fish was cut very thin. I would give the dinner omakase only 3 stars. Not a bad deal but I've been to better for a similar price (under $100). So overall, a somewhat mixed experience but either way I am glad to see more sushi options in the Kips Bay and Murray Hill area. read more

A pretty modern twist to Omakaze with some unique flavors! I loved the ikura that was soaked with sweet soy and kanpachi with homemade chili crisps! So delicious and amazing. I absolutely loved the whole ginger for palette cleansers. The semi sweet miso was a great closer. I definitely recommend and would come back again! read more

My soulmate and I decided to have a date night at this place. Glad I decided to do a search for something in the Kips Bay area. Omakase 33 has excellent service, great decor, and delicious courses. They have been open for about a year. Perfect place to have a meal before a movie. We'll be back! read more

Another one of those Chinese-run omakase places in the city. I like these places for their affordability and convenience - food is usually served more quickly than at traditional omakase places. This place is quite a bit cheaper than other Chinese-run omakase places in my nabe, so I gave it a shot. The seafood ingredients used were mostly okay, but the rice was dry and hard, and tasted like overnight rice. Luckily the rice pieces were small, but honestly they should pay more attention to the rice quality. Service was good and the sushi chef was chatty. They did not try to upsell as we just got the standard omakase set and didn't get any extra nigiri. read more

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but I came here to give the highest praise to the chefs and staff for an incredible experience for my last two visits. The omakase menu is fantastic, great value and I love the chef's touch with each piece. The king salmon, amber jack and of course the otoro were major highlights for me. See you in two weeks! read more

A newer spot in the Kips Bay area serving up delicious omakase -- the ambiance is really nice and it's definitely a bit more upscale than some of the other omakases I've been to in the city, but worth it IMO. I'd recommend for a date night or for a smaller group. They serve really traditional nigiri, with the only flavors being the fish, soy sauce and wasabi. The nigiri was all very fresh and they have toppings and seasonings that are all house-made. My favorite bite was definitely the Tuna! The sushi chef was an absolute delight -- he was so patient and took the time to explain everything, hands-down the best omakase chef I've ever experienced. I had a really nice time here, would recommend! read more

Yumyumyumyum. I want to preface by saying that this is my first experience with a sub $100 omakase in the states, so my scale might be a bit off. But the omakase here was really good! Pretty on par with more expensive omakases I've had. When my friends and I arrived for dinner, we were the first party there. The sushi chef immediately started prepping our fish. We started with a smoky rice bowl (bite?). Rice was seasoned well, uni was creamy, beef gave a nice bite. All the nigiri's were delicious! I especially enjoyed the salmon with house made mayo, the hotate, the otoro with caviar, the wagyu, and the unagi. Rice is pre seasoned so there's no need to dip in soy sauce. The proportion of rice to fish was fair. And the amount of wasabi was just enough. Not too overpowering. I loved the house made ginger as well! Overall, my experience here was really good! The sushi chef was nice and answered all of our random questions haha read more

I am sooooo glad my boyfriend booked this for my birthday (he picked it off my want to go list). The service was excellent! The manager/owner (I am unsure) was very welcoming. He kept referring to us using our names which made the experience more memorable and checked in every once in a while to make sure everything was ok. The food itself was spectacular every course was interesting and different. We would recommend adding the oyster shot!!! Very flavorful!!!! They are part of the Omakase Shihou chain (changed the name to 33 because people kept confusing this location with another restaurant out of the state) which we will definitely try out. So if you are looking for affordable omakase with a great experience I would 100% recommend this place. read more

There are very few places (if any) where you can find an omakase for less than $50. From the reviews I was worried the fish wouldn't be omakase quality - but it indeed is and I could book a reservation last minute. The chef is passionate about the dishes and the service is solid. Price to quality ratio is great. read more

Omakase 33 - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Neighborhood spot ive been wanting to try for a while and was happy to get a reservation. Kind of a hidden gem in the area as I didnt realize it was in my neighborhood until recently. The staff was very warm and welcoming and we had a great time chatting with the chef as he prepared each of our courses. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, quiet, and has an elegant but not overstated vibe. Overall the omakase is good, the price for dinner is a little high compared to other similar spots, but it is certainly reasonable. I will definitely be back for their lunch special which seems like a really good deal! read more

Had a lovely experience here. I remember when this location was a very different restaurant over ten years ago. So, it was pleasant to discover a nicely renovated space. I had the great luck to have an essentially private seating and appreciated all of the attention to detail. The host had lots of suggestions and insight into customer favorites and the chef was kind. I loved the appetizers in the beginning! Excited to come back for a dinner seating sometime. read more

Unbelievable omakase experience. This is one of the best deals i've seen for omakase. This place is authentic and had a nice quiet comfortable atmosphere. It was 17 courses (including soup, ice cream and an appetizer) for $88. The also had a bottle of wine for $45. We sat at the counter and the chef explained each course to us in detail. I would definitely come back here in the future. read more

3.5/5 - saw this new omakase opened up and wanted to give it a try. For the amount of food/courses, it is the most affordable place in the city - $48 pp for 12+ courses. We went when it was fairly empty, and the chef was fun and chatty. Some of the pieces felt a bit fishy, hence the lower rating, but overall was pretty good. read more

I made my way to Omakase 33 to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was super excited to try this place as I've seen a handful of good reviews. Upon stepping foot into the restaurant, I was severely disappointed. The lighting and the seating arrangements threw me off. The environment as a whole seemed quite bland, while I had seen how picturesque the establishment looked online. What drew me to this place was the price. It seems like such a steal, $48 for about 15 courses. Much to my dismay, the ambiance and the quality of each piece was just a let down. I felt that each piece tasted warm which added to my unsettling feeling. The only positive impression I had with this experience was the chef. He seemed attentive and perhaps could even sense my dissatisfaction. The friends I went with agreed that the chef left the best impression. (This is entirely just my opinion) read more

Omakase 33 - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Yesterday, with a reservation, I had 12:30 lunch omakase at Omakase 33. With a couple of small glitches, I have to say the sushi was outstanding - best I've ever had. Each piece was flavorful and melted in my mouth. For $48 they serve 2 appetizers, 8 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll and red miso soup. Other than 2 other people who came in and sat at the counter, I was the only customer; but I assume they get busy at night. I started out with a small hot sake ($13). The large hot sake was $28; so I opted against that. Kind of expensive but, I guess, since their sushi is reasonable, they have to make their money somehow. In comparison, I was early; so I stopped by Phoshime a couple doors down the block and had a large hot sake for $7.50. The only 2 glitches were: in one of the mixed appetizers (very tasty) one of the fish was a little difficult to chew. The second glitch was the mini Ikura piece (I've had better), but this was minor in comparison to the delight of the rest of the meal. The red miso soup at the end was delicious and a great final touch. This was exactly the right amount of food to be full, but not stuffed. The service was excellent, and the entire meal took only 40 minutes. This was my 2nd experience having omakase, and it won't be my last. I definitely want to return. Although I recognized some of the fish, other pieces I didn't recognize because, even though the server and the sushi chef briefly explained what they were, I found it very difficult to understand them; so I just wolfed down the food and enjoyed. My first excuse of an omakase experience was at Kissaki on Columbus Avenue (now closed), and it was a disaster. I was so pleased with my 2nd experience at Omakase 33. Although I have eaten sushi for years, I'm new to the omakase scene, and Omakase 33 has definitely convinced me that, whenever affordable, omakase is the way to go. read more

Wonderful Omakase in Murray Hill. They have reservations available for lunch/dinner with the set respectively $48/$88. It was artistry to watch the chef at the bar prepare every piece. Each piece was more delicious than the last. The service was excellent with drinks being replenished at the appropriate time. Perfect spot for an intimate date. Will definitely be returning. read more

This is a solid Omakase option for the local neighborhood. Omakase spots are opening up left and right and some of them Are just offering basic sushi at a more expensive price. Not Omakase 33. Their offering is good, reasonably priced and will leave you wanting more. You will likely need to order more than they offer you to leave full but it's a very good option for an Omakase dinner. read more

$48/person omakase sounds like a steal, however this meal was worth much less. The rice was inconsistent and overly seasoned. Everything was way too salty. It started off well until the marinated lean tuna came out. Salt on salt. The pieces progressively became worse. Finally, the fatty tuna came out, in pieces. This restaurant is in dire need of quality control. The overall service and ambiance was still attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, it doesn't make up for the lackluster food. read more
