Ah yes, Sushi on Jones... previously known for their $50 12-course omakase. Just so you're aware, they now charge $68 before tax and tip. We made a reservation and chose the sushi bar seating. Service was VERY slow to start. It looked like they had a lot of takeout orders to fill, which left us twiddling our thumbs for around 15 minutes. I won't lie, I was a little annoyed at that since they advertise this as a 45-minute omakase, but it was closer to 70 minutes from start to finish. The sushi was decent, but the size of each piece was small (I'd say 30% smaller than your average nigiri). Sushi on Jones actually reminds me a lot of Sushi by Bou. It's an affordable option, but at this price point, it'd be more cost-effective to go to Domo Domo - bigger pieces, similar fish quality, and more food, for a similar price.

My fiancé and I were excited to try this place. We saw that their omakase was $58 so we were sold! We made a resy for our first day landing in the city. When we arrived it was empty, no one at the bar area and pretty empty dining room. We sat down and ordered. We wanted to get the 12 course because we wanted to leave room for a post sushi meal. The fish was fresh, don't get me wrong. However, their was no WOW factor of how these fish were prepared. The fish didn't have much flavor. Either we had this place overhyped or it was just not impressive.

Best little hole in the wall traditional Japanese Omakase experience ever! I the sushi was fresh and melted in your mouth and the chef served every course at a great pace. We arrived on a Friday night to our 8:30pm reservation and it seemed like someone was already seated using our name. The wait staff realized the mishap and quickly amended the situation. They cleared the area so my friend and I can have an amazing experience while watching our nigiri be prepared. We were the last seating and they gave us complimentary miso soup and for $68 omakase I cannot complain!! $68 for 12 piece omakase. Can't get any better than this in the city.

A $120 omakase per person with 20 pieces?!? Yes please!! It was such a good price for what we got! I loved all of the pieces we got. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! My favorite were the two uni. The uni was so soft, creamy and flavorful. I loved the barracuda! I have never tried this fish and it was charred and perfect! Another memorable piece was the scallop. It was so creamy and had a perfect bite to it. I was most excited for the Kobe with uni on top, but It actually was not my most favorite. I felt like the Kobe beef was to tough and I wanted it to be more on the raw side, but it was cooked way too much. I would want to go back 100%! The service was great. They made sure they explained what each piece was and they were very attentive to what we needed.

Have always heard of this place and heard Dua Lipa comes a lot...so decided to try it out. I usually like the more traditional places (amane, noz, Nakaji), but my friend wanted to try this out as well and for the price I didn't think it would be that bad. I liked the outdoor omakase vibes - very different from other places, and quite the experience. However, the space was very small - barely enough space on the counter for my liking. It was SO fast and rushed. If my friend and I didn't pause and push back, we probably would've finished the meal in 15-20 minutes. Right as we picked up the piece to eat, the next one was placed on our platter. The chef just kept making and making them and we always saw that the next piece was ready before we even touched the current one. I know they have other locations, and not sure if those are better. Price wise, I would say Shiki is a lot better and not as rushed. Not a terrible place to go for more affordable omakase though.

Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Experience: 5/5 My bf and I love Sushi on Jones and it's become one of our favorite casual omakase spots. Both managers who work there are incredibly hospitable and we really enjoy the company of the sushi chef. We continue to go back here because the experience never disappoints, the service is great, and the food is even better. There is limited seating so it's best to get a res and I would highly recommend the bar to watch the chef prepare the fish. All the fish is incredibly fresh and the chef has created an excellent menu. If you order the omakase there is nigiri that you can't find on the menu that the chef specially added. We always go for the omakase and add more if we're still hungry. We have already been here a few times on dates or with friends and will definitely be going back in the future. What we ordered: * 12 course omakase Things to know: * make a res, late night is usually not too busy * this location is BYOB * omakase is great but they also do rolls * for the winter the seating is enclosed and "indoors" Full menu for all locations on website: https://www.sushionjones.com/menus/#bowery

Fast-casual omakase is certainly a unique concept and I'm glad I tried this place, but the food and ambience were such a mismatch that I felt like I was cheapening the amazing sushi by eating it outside with a pyramid of garbage bags in my purview. My guess is that it might be more ambient at night, but if you just want affordable omakase, this place is for you. Walked by here with my friend on a Saturday around 3pm; they have a large menu facing the street and after taking a quick glance, I somehow was convinced by my friend and the staff to sit down at the bar (a week later, I still can't believe I had spontaneous omakase). Though they are situated at the corner of a busy intersection, the bar is in a more secluded area. Service in general was friendly and quick throughout our visit. We had other food plans, so we opted for the a la carte--one each of the akami, ama ebi (shrimp), and California uni. Each piece, but specifically the uni, had such an indulgent texture and I felt it was well worth the price. Flavour-wise, I enjoyed the ama ebi the most as it had a very pleasant sweetness. The three pieces were so good that we decided to splurge on one more and got the crispy rice tuna. I really enjoyed this one as well, but it wasn't as notable to me as the standard nigiris.

Crispy rice
Kadeesha L.

The crispy rice roll was the best I ever had! Like seriously it was delicious melt in your mouth served slightly warm so the rice is crispy but not rip the top of your roof crispy. It also smells delicious! We tried some of waygu rolls with uni but I thought those were just ok this place is also kind of pricey but I would come back to try the omakase menu.

While eating sushi at a shack may feel a bit ratchet, this is probably one of the most worth it places to have omakase. You'll get a wide array of different fish in various styles, from local to Japanese imports. Given that you only have 30-minute appointments, you will feel rushed eating. It's basically an interval-eating set of 1-2 minutes per piece. My main complaint was the fish temperature. I always like my fish to be the same temperature as the rice, which in all is also about the same temperature as your mouth for the most smooth eating experience. Here, the fish is often much colder than the rice. This is probably a by-product of the fact that the kitchen is so small, and the chef is a one-man team, so prep is much harder to do. For the price, the fish quality is fantastic, but don't expect it to be as good as the top end omakase places. The environment almost forces you into the chef's kitchen. The shack is in a small alleyway, and the kitchen is compact and immerses you in the chef's workspace. If you're looking for a mid-tier omakase experience, be sure to stop by here for a quick bite!

This is my first time doing omakase, and Sushi on Jones did not disappoint! We originally came in hoping to do the 12-piece for $58, but the server convinced us to do the 20-piece for $105. 100% worth it. We were able to make reservations, so there was no wait. Keep in mind, it is outdoors so I can see it getting chilly during the colder months, and super hot during the summer, but today's weather was perfect! I wholeheartedly enjoyed the ambiance here. They played 90's - early 00's R&B songs, that I sang along to during my meal. I'm not sure if it was the kitchen porter, but he was very kind. He smiled at us often, and laughed when I began singing along to some songs. Our waiter was very attentive, and explained every piece of sushi to us. We started off with miso soup and began our sushi journey. The sushi was fresh and simply divine. I was a little scared going in because there are some types of sushi I just don't mess with such as uni (yeah I know, I'm a disappointment). Anyway, turns out I just wasn't having good uni. Sushi on Jones has definitely changed my perspectives on it, and I'm willing to give it a try again! The sushi was very well curated. There's supposedly a time limit to eat, but we were not informed of one. We stayed about an hour with no trouble. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in NYC who appreciates sushi the way I do. Sushi on Jones reignited my love for sushi!

Really good sushi. Service was good. Place is too tight. Can't fit your food in the table or can't even get up and go to the bathroom comfortable. It's just too tight to move around.

Jillian N.

I loved this place! I haven't been to many omakase places in NY but out of the ones I've been to, hands down the best. We reserved a table at the sushi omakase bar. They have a time limit of 45 min I believe and they serve you very quickly for the 12 course so we finished in about 30-35 min. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Jenn and Alvin were amazing. We will definitely be back when in town!

Janet R.

Delicious!!! Made reservations here on a Friday night with 2 other friends and got a seat inside at the bar. I ordered the 12 course omakase and a Bigmac. A 30 minute omakase experience?! I'm in. I really enjoyed all of the fish. It tasted super fresh and it's always cool watching the chefs work their magic at the sushi bar. I'm docking a star because this location feels a little claustrophobic inside and they don't serve cocktails. I'd not recommend eating here with a group larger than 4. That said, their outdoor booths are a nice alternative and their other locations serve drinks. If this were as expensive as some other omakase alternatives, I would probably only give Sushi on Jones 4 stars, but for affordable this place is I definitely think the quality is worth leaving 5. The Big Mac is an a la crate sushi with Wagyu, toro, and uni. Heaven in a bite! I'd recommend!

Is this place outdoors? I can't really tell by the photos. Where we would be seated during this cold weather?

This is outdoors but there is usually something to cover you up. Last time I went in winter, they had heat lamps overhead and offered blankets /shawls

What's the difference in terms of food between daytime omakase and night time omakase?

There's a reason why people have willpower for the hours-long wait here on weekends. There are many…read morerestaurants with lines that I can't say are worth waiting on, but this restaurant is worth every minute and every ounce of energy left for the wait. I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.

konban is a modern Japanese restaurant that focuses on creative takes on classic comfort dishes,…read moreespecially katsu, noodles, and small plates. We walked into a stylish, energetic space with a menu designed around sharing, making it a good option for a casual dinner or group meal. The interior has a contemporary, lively feel with an open kitchen that adds energy to the room, and the seating is arranged to accommodate both small groups and larger parties comfortably. Instead of sticking strictly to traditional Japanese dishes, the menu mixes familiar flavors with more modern presentations, creating a dining experience that feels both approachable and exploratory. The standout item is the katsu, which is where the restaurant really shines. We ordered the pork loin and tenderloin versions and found the breading crisp while the meat stayed tender and juicy, the crust holding up well without becoming greasy. The mazemen is another highlight, with chewy noodles and a rich sauce that brought a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy, the sauce coating each strand evenly and the toppings adding layers of texture and depth. Beyond those, dishes like the butter scallops, corn ribs, and seafood options added variety and made it worth ordering multiple plates to share. The scallops were well seared with a buttery finish, and the corn ribs offered a smoky, slightly charred flavor that paired well with the richer dishes. The desserts are also a memorable part of the meal. The corn ice cream is one of the more unique items, with a sweet and savory flavor that sounds unusual but works surprisingly well, the sweetness of the corn balanced by a subtle savory note that kept it from feeling cloying. It fits the restaurant's overall approach of taking familiar ingredients and presenting them in a more unexpected way, and the creativity of the dessert menu feels consistent with the rest of the meal. Service and atmosphere add to the experience, with attentive staff and a lively dining room that feels suited for groups. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the pacing of the meal comfortable, and the open kitchen added a layer of engagement as we watched the dishes come together. Reservations can be difficult to get, especially during busy times, and the small plate format means the best experience comes from ordering several dishes rather than focusing on one entree. The variety across the menu encourages sharing, and the pacing of the meal works well for a longer, more social dinner. konban delivers a well-executed modern Japanese dining experience. While some of the more hyped dishes may not completely live up to expectations, the katsu, noodles, and seafood dishes make it a worthwhile visit. The combination of creativity, quality ingredients, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for exploring different flavors and dishes together rather than just ordering one signature item, offering a meal that feels both engaging and satisfying.

The ube tiramisu was free since we wrote a google review for the restaurant. Everything was delicious and the zucchini was surprisingly good as well. The pork was so tender. the ebi tempura were huge, and the mazemen was thankfully not spicy. However, the scallops could've been more tender and we we were all unimpressed with the ube tiramisu. Overall, I would come back and would definitely recommend konban! Get the corn ribs, zucchini, pork katsu, and corn ice cream! My friend did notice that some menu items changed from her previous visit (instead of the zucchini they had the eggplant in the past)

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.
