Each bite was absolutely incredible - with the exception of the ankimo. While I wouldn't call it bad by any stretch, I feel the texture was off a bit; could have been much softer and creamier. The flavor was there. We had two of the king salmon with foie gras which was unreal. Really amazing wagyu bite as well. The lighting is a bit bright for me and would love to see some more natural elements incorporated into the restaurant (it's very grey, black, and white). The sushi bar is large and round in the middle of the restaurant which is really cool as it provides a ton of bar seating. Thank you for a lovely experience! I will absolutely be back.

It doesn't look like they're very well known yet, but I anticipate they will be! Osukaa provides a very no frills experience - the fish is the highlight and star, instead of different flavor pairings and toppings. I could have maybe used just a touch more soy on some of the pieces, but this was an experience where you could really just savor the flavor of the fish itself. They also constantly serve up fresh rice that's infused with what looks like a kombu mixture, instead of having a huge batch that cools off. What's most unique about Osukaa is that they're really serving up different fish compared to a usual omakase experience. They don't have salmon, yellowtail, eel, snapper, or hand rolls. Instead, they really rotate through whatever catches they have. We were served things we never tried before and usually don't see, like barracuda, thread fish, grunt fish, belt fish, and baby squid! The hot appetizers were also really well done - I enjoyed the miso cod. Service is really attentive - our waters never ran empty even though there was only one staff member. The chef seems to be a bit shy - there's not much banter, but he did take his time in explaining what each piece was, and noting which ones were his favorites. We also didn't feel rished at all - Osukaa isn't like other omakases where they're turning over seats rapidly. The restaurant is really easy to get to - it's walkable from Grand Central Terminal.

From the appetizers to the final sushi courses, everything was fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. The fish quality was excellent, portions were satisfying, and every course felt intentional. It's rare to find this level of quality and attention to detail at this price point. The service was warm and welcoming, and the intimate counter seating made the experience even more enjoyable. For just $89, this is one of the best omakase values in New York City.

The fish was fresh, well-prepared, and the pacing of the courses felt just right. Standouts for me were the torched toro with caviar and the salmon with ikura, simple but executed perfectly.

Service was attentive, the space is modern and clean, and the whole experience feels smooth from start to finish. Definitely a strong option if you want a good omakase without breaking the bank.

Wish they had had something special for anniversary though hokkaido sea scallop (truffle butter): 9.5, ended up getting an extra piece after. First bite was one of the best I've had, sear added smoky flavor and scallop itself was incredibly soft and sweet. Would be higher but second one was a tiny bit too salty yellowtail (shishito pepper): great shishito pepper flavor, nice compliment to the yellowtail, slight fishiness so only an 8.3 king salmon: classic, very fatty and flavorful. 8.5 sea bream (lime zest, yuzu sauce), loved the texture and the lime zest, nice firm, chewy fish. 8.8 botan ebi (jumbo sweet shrimp with foie gras) 8.9, combo of flavors was really good with the firm sweet shrimp and the deep richness and slight gaminess of the foie gras. Only not a 9 cause of ethical reasons lol Shima aji (striped jack with pickled wasabi), 9.7 my favorite bite of the night, perfect flavor pairing with a firm but fatty fish and the acid of the pickled wasabi. Ordered another after and it was just as good even though I was full. lean tuna (bluefin with truffle mushroom): 8, flavor was pretty good but sadly a bit too fishy for me. I've had akami in Japan so I know what it could be. Could just be biased against tuna in the US though. Chutoro (caviar), 8.3, chutoro was borderline otoro fatty, the caviar added a nice salty pop but not much additional flavor? I don't get the appeal of caviar tbh. Held back by slight fishiness miso chilean sea bass hand roll: 8.4 very standard miso soy marinade, probably mimicking the nobu recipe. Fish itself was cooked perfectly, was cooked in an air fryer lol but didn't feel like it suffered from that at all. Hokkaido uni: 8.2, rich, oceany flavor that coats your whole mouth. Not as sweet as Santa Barbara uni which I think I prefer but that's subjective a5 wagyu (grated foie gras), 8.8 a surprisingly great bite of fatty on fatty. I think they froze or dehydrated(?) foie gras and grated it over the wagyu which was seared on one side. Wagyu was not as melt in your mouth as other wagyu I've had, but had a nice chew to it that was very meaty unagi: 7 sadly just a very standard unagi nigiri with nothing special to it. Was still good, but not as good as I wanted or expected it to be. Also cooked in the air fryer which I think it suffered from, would've been much better if cooked on a skewer or something. negitoro hand roll, 8, had pickled radish in it on top of the usual green onion and chutoro. Good with a bit of pop of acid. A little too much salt

They offer an omakase sushi experience---we were the only customers for a late seating, so it felt like we had our own private sushi chef. Morgan and the rest of the staff at Hōseki treated us like honored guests. We enjoyed a selection of nigiri: fluke, scallop, shrimp, sea bream, uni, king salmon and we added a seared waygu course. All were artfully prepared, with some nice flourishes like real grated wasabi, chiffonaded shiso leaf and some quick searing with a blowtorch. I loved the fish bone broth soup course--very clean taste with just the right amount of salt---and the uni handroll was an unconventional, yet perfect way to present the unctuous and very fresh urchin. Our chef, Morgan, was a delight. She was very skilled, but also charmingly personable. My wife and I enjoyed chatting with her about all manner of subjects during our lunch. The rest of the staff was also friendly and quick to help with suggestions or clearing our plates. Don't miss this unique and charming sushi experience! At roughly $100 per person, Hōseki felt like a good value for a sushi omakase. It is certainly worth a visit!

Unfortunately the noise and chatter from the return counter is very audible and does mar the atmosphere. The decor looks like Aime Leon Dore was in charge in the best way. It is saturated with interesting shades of green and the tableware is stunning. The omakase itself was good not great. The fish was quite fresh and treated well. It is served simply without excessive garnish. My main issue was with the shari (the rice). It was both overcooked and over-seasoned giving it a gluey consistency and overpowering the fish with vinegar. Still, most pieces were tasty and beautifully presented. Overall this is a serviceable omakase option I might stop in at if I'm shopping here.

I'd splurge on it if you want to treat yourself to a good "to go" lunch or dinner. Definitely do so if you have corporate meal allowance. I was always curios about Joji Box but it' s not cheap - so like many I wondered if it was worth it. Eventually took one for the team. The first time I got the omakase box I didn't love having to sauce/wasabi it myself but I think that's just being picky. The last time I got the omaakase box, the omakase chirashi and the maki flight. The omakase box is a good assortment with a shimi, salad, two maki rolls and 10 nigiri. The pieces vary with premium ingredients like kinmedai, ikura, uni, toro, etc. It's costly at $62 but I think you get what you pay for. The chirashi had a variety of sashimi, lots of ikura and plenty of sushi rice. It's very good but for $50 I'd rather kick in more $ for the omakase. Maki Flight is great, $21 for a sampling of their three best rolls. It's 12 pieces total but they're nice size with a good amount of filling. If you're looking to treat yourself for lunch or maybe a nicer dinner takeaway - solid choice. I'm convinced enough that I'll try Joji for real one night.
