    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    what a delicious and delightful meal. with reservations we were served first. quiet dining experience and the wait staff is super nice

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    This sake was sweet, but not sweet enough for me.

    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!

    1st course - a bit strange to be serving a "don" first, which was two spoonfuls of rice with toppings

    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.

    Friedman is an absolute must-visit if you are looking for an incredible burger in NYC. I honestly…read moredid not expect to be this impressed, but this ended up being one of the best burgers I have ever had -- and quite possibly the best burger of my life. I ordered the burger with cheese, and everything about it was perfect. The burger itself was THICK, incredibly juicy, and cooked beautifully. You could immediately tell that the meat was high quality, and knowing that they use Creekstone beef made it even better. The flavor was rich and beefy without being overwhelming, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The patty had that perfect combination of a beautifully cooked exterior while still being extremely juicy and tender inside. And the bread deserves its own paragraph! The brioche-style bun was excellent. It was soft, slightly buttery, and substantial enough to hold the thick patty without falling apart or becoming soggy. It complemented the burger perfectly rather than taking away from the meat. The combination of the juicy Creekstone beef, melted cheese, and that excellent brioche-style bread was honestly phenomenal. What really stood out to me was how substantial the burger was. This wasn't one of those thin burgers where you finish it and immediately feel like you could eat another one. It was thick, hearty, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite felt like you were getting exactly what you want from a great burger. The fries were also excellent. I really appreciated that they weren't overly fried or greasy. They had a great texture and were crispy without feeling heavy or excessively oily. Sometimes fries can completely overwhelm a meal because they're so fried, but these were much more balanced and paired perfectly with the burger. Overall, Friedman absolutely exceeded my expectations. The burger, especially with the cheese, was outstanding, the Creekstone beef was incredibly flavorful, the brioche-style bun was excellent, and the fries were the perfect accompaniment. If you're in NYC and love burgers, this is a must-go-to. I would absolutely order this burger again and would highly recommend Friedman to anyone looking for a thick, juicy, high-quality burger. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever

    Don't always believe Yelp reviews--especially coming from a Yelp Elite--so let's set the record…read morestraight! First off, just a quick note for anyone looking: this restaurant is not halal. Aside from that, we had a fantastic experience here at Friedmans Herald Square near Penn Station. They were playing Hilary Duff music, which was such a fun touch since they often match the vibe of whatever is happening at MSG! They even had special Hilary Duff mocktails. The atmosphere is super sweet and cozy. The restaurant was empty when we first walked in, but the second we sat down, it completely packed up! The waiter was very friendly, and even though they weren't able to split the check at the table, they did provide an itemized receipt to make figuring it out easy. The food was great overall--the Mac & Cheese bites and the corn were especially good! We also tried the cheesecake and molten cake. Plus, the neighbors sitting next to us were so sweet. A wonderful spot with a fun vibe!

I will say, ordering from a kiosk takes away from the experience of writing on the paper you see on YouTube but again, not the worst thing in the world.
