    I love the concept of this spot -- all you can eat for an affordable price! But it felt pretty clear that 1. You're rushed and 2. The quality of the food decreases the more you order. The larger the quantity requested, the more salt/sodium was tucked into the sushi. We had someone in the group order 6 pieces and someone else order 20, and the person who ordered 6 immediately tasted the difference between the two servings. I understand wanting to make money on customers, but I'd rather pay more and not leave feeling sick from the soy sauce drenched sushi

    I made the reservation about 2 days before and still got to chef counter spots. Very cute set up! There's about 3-4 chefs for 20 ish guests. Everyone was talking and eating at the same time so sometimes it's hard to hear what the chef was describing the course. It's so fun though to watch how he rolled each and put it in front of you. This is my first omakase experience and I was very excited since it's in NYC. I was definitely full at the end since there were 3 rounds of AYCE on top of the 14 courses. The fish quality was good but for what I was paying, I was expecting a bit of caviar. There was one course with foie gras though and it was delicious.

    My LAST round. The chef kept offering more but I could only make room for 1 wagyu and 1 otoro.

    $98 for omakase + miso soup + all you can drink sake and beer + 3 rounds of AYCE lean tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu. What deal is better than this? Not only is this a VALUE meal, but the service and ambiance pair perfectly with it. The chef was so generous with the nigiri and kept offering MORE! I wish my stomach could handle more but I just couldn't. We had a great time and loved all the pieces we tried! Def save room for the otoro! My favorite pieces were the salmon belly w/ foie gras and otoro!

    Otoro Tuna

    Genuinely fantastic experience. Fish was great, service was great. And the best part of it all was our Sushi chef David. He was so pleasant, friendly and definitely funny. Will 100% come back to this location, and David made sure of that.

    Don't know why the ratings are low but I went yesterday 4/2/2026 had chef Alan serving us and everything tasted amazing and the fish was high quality. Probably the better AYCE omakase I've had in the city and chef Alan really made the experience for us too. The omakase course was so good, it wasn't gimmicky, it highlighted the quality of the fish, and most were melt in your mouth. The only piece I wasn't a big fan of was the maki piece - not sure if it has radish in the middle but I think they should've kept the soft texture versus adding a crunchy bit just my opinion. The AYCE round? WOW yeah their lean tuna is one of the best I've had in the city and the quality of the fish per round was so good. For the sake, def recommend the Takara Plum Wine if you like it on the sweeter end. Not pictured but yes, they give you miso soup. Coming back here next big back meal!

    Pretty affordable all you can eat and drink omakase -- I thought it was good but not amazing. There's a time limit as well, so by the end it felt like we got rushed out a bit. A few of the fish pieces felt slightly fishy to me, and were under salted/not enough flavor. I also wish the rice was warmer! Green tea tasted like water. I liked the eel, toro handroll, seared salmon, and wagyu pieces the best! The sushi chefs and servers were sweet.

    Bianca C.

    An amazing experience! What a great omakase experience. The chef's were so nice and kept giving us extra of our favorite pieces, the A5 with uni was incredible, as well as the mackerel was definitely one of my favorite bites, cannot wait to come back again

    This place feels very gimmicky. The quality was mediocre. You get 14 pieces omakase and then 3 rounds of unlimited all you can eat. The quality was also very inconsistent to the point I felt like I was just eating rice. The unlimited toro was paper thin and stringy on a glop of rice. They charge 10 dollar per piece penalty for anything not eaten so I forced it all down even though the quality was lacking. The alcoholic drinks are unlimited but for non drinker it is disappointing since the only non alcoholic option they have available is green tea.

    We were in NYC for the weekend and were able to make a reservation for a Friday evening. We arrived a few minutes before the seating, checked in and waited outside until it was time. We reserved for seats at the bar, which I highly recommend as it allows you to interact with the sushi chefs and eat each piece as they make it! We loved all of the dishes of the omakase, especially the otoro. We ordered multiple pieces of the AYCE round at the end, saving our stomachs for the fatty tuna (toro) and Wagyu. The meal also comes with unlimited drinks so we got to try all 4 Japanese sakes and wines and my favorite was the plum wine, which was sweet tasting. Cost ended up being around $200-220 for 2 people (ballpark because I think my partner paid). Would definitely recommend for delicious fish and fun experience overall.

    My girlfriends first omakase and it was a success! We arrived 20 mins early for our reservation so we sat down at the bench by the window while the earlier time slot finished up. Once it was closer to our start time, the hostess brought us to our seats. Alcoholic drinks (beer and sake) were included in the price and can be continuously refilled. We really liked the plum sake, it was sweet as advertised. All the pieces that were selected today were delicious. Our favorite pieces were definitely the sea bass, salmon, shrimp, and eel. You can really taste how fresh it was! There were 12 sushi pieces, a miso soup, a mochi, and 3 AYCE rounds where you let the staff know how many of each piece you want. We opted for 4 lean tuna, 8 fatty tuna, and 8 wagyu sushis each and it was definitely enough for us to feel satisfied but not overstuffed to the point where we didnt enjoy the food. The fish wasnt too thin and the rice wasnt too large, it was still a good proportion. There were only two chefs and around 15-20 guests so we didnt get to converse with our chef but overall it was still a great experience. We spoke to our chef towards the end and he said his favorite pieces are the shrimp and scallop! The chef was really nice and gave my girlfriend an extra item with salmon and scallops (her favorite pieces) because of her birthday! Would definitely recommend this place as an entry to the omakase experience.

    Absolutely worth the $$ -- fish quality is great, unlimited sake, AYCE for 3 rounds plus friendly service

    Sabrina H.

    We were seated by the window instead of at the bar, so it felt like we didn't get the full experience. For the omakase sets before the AYCE rounds, we were given a plate with 5 pieces, then 4 pieces, then 3 pieces, for a total of 12 pieces. Then we have 3 rounds of AYCE. However, you're only able to state the amount that you want once for each round. The first round of AYCE was lean tuna, second round was fatty tuna and third round was Wagyu. You have to have a good idea of how many you want to eat (and can eat) before ordering each round because you don't have the option to add more later on. If you don't finish it, you are charged for each piece left. Overall, a pleasant experience, but I didn't enjoy the fact that you had to know exactly how many pieces you want for each round of ayce. I also did not realize that there are only 3 different options for the ayce rounds.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

Now, having said that although the food was decent, there were a couple of questionable choices in the overall presentation and plating and the sauces that accompany the black cod bento box I ordered, which did not actually come in a box. Everything is brought out piecemeal so you don't get an actual meal before you, but a lot of little plates brought out at different times, kinda like the Japanese equivalent of Tapas. We have been to this location twice, hoping the first time was a fluke, and trying to give them a chance only for the second time to be worse. The waitstaff is entirely disengaged from the customers. They rush you through the order process and don't explain any of the menu offerings, such as what is the difference between the different platter options. When they do come over, you are greeted with the sweetness and warmth of an unemotionally flat "What do you want?" After you get your food, no one comes over to refill water and cups are initially filled halfway with too much ice. No one comes over to remove plates afterward, and they definitely show no interest in finding out if you are enjoying your meal in the least. The booth we were sat at had not been cleaned after the last party's use so there was sauce all over, and it got on the back of my pants, which I later discovered while walking home...the joy. After eating comes the best part, they come over with these tablets outlining your check on the screen. Meanwhile, the tablets are strapped to their bodies the entire time. They don't allow you to scrutinize the charges in peace, no, they stand there impatiently for the duration either swerving from side to side of tapping their foot signaling discomfort that you're taking way too long. The funny part is the straps have clips to remove the tablets so it's not like it's impossible to leave the tablet and come back shortly. The whole process feels very rushed and pressurized for you to tip with one of the predetermined button selections, which start at 25%. Ummm, service sucked so no, we're definitely NOT starting there. I guess now we're both disappointed. Eventually, you get no paper receipt for your records even if you ask for it to be printed. And the whole time, the waitstaff is with you judging you on your tipping and not even being graceful enough to restrain their reaction. So no, not going back, and definitely would not recommend as a place to have a good time. Now, if you're looking for an uncomfortable experience served by someone that completely ignores you during your entire time there and expects an exorbitant tip to boot, then yes, this is the place for you!

Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
