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. It's impressive how they manage to keep the quality high while still being more accessible price-wise compared to other NYC omakase spots. 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.

On our first night, we were treated to a private 21-course omakase experience with Chef Takuma Yonemaru, and it was hands down the most intimate, refined, and extraordinary omakase we've ever had. We've been fortunate to enjoy omakase at some of the top spots across the U.S. and internationally--but nothing has come close to this. The care, detail, and artistry Chef Takuma brings to every single course is unmatched. Each dish was perfectly balanced, delicately presented, and delivered with a quiet confidence that only a master at his craft can offer. From the freshness of the ingredients to the precise temperature of the rice, every bite was thoughtfully executed and full of intention. The entire experience felt deeply personal and curated just for us--because it was. Chef Takuma is the only one who prepares and serves, and that direct connection elevated the evening to something truly memorable. To make it even more special, the team surprised us with a beautiful "Happy Anniversary" dessert presentation that was heartfelt and thoughtful--a perfect touch to close out an already perfect evening. We took over 30 photos and videos because everything was just that beautiful--visually and flavor-wise. Every single detail was flawless, from the matcha to the hand rolls to the final sweet bite. If you're looking for an exceptional omakase in New York, this is it. Chef Takuma at Nama is in a league of his own, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Chef Takuma and the Aman team for such a deeply thoughtful and memorable night. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to New York.

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.

The pieces of sushi are served really fast though which is nice. I wasn't really a huge fan of the appetizer to be honest - the set of 3 all tasted pretty mediocre (the cod tasted a bit old, the yuzu did not pair with the fluke) and the snow crab tasted like store-bought crabmeat with mayo. So overall, was disappointed with these. As for the nigiri - most of them were pretty good. The fish was good quality and the one that really blew me away was the uni don - the uni and roe were EXTREMELY fresh, blew my mind. It was the best uni I had in a while. The wagyu handroll was also delicious and decadent. The last handroll - hamachi handroll - was a bit flavorless though. Dessert was good - a really light matcha pudding that was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my experience but not sure if I would come back. Note: they will charge you for water unless you ask for tap. That was an unexpected surprise on my bill
