Ishi Omakase Sushi & Premium Sake

I’ve been to several omakase restaurants, but this was the first time I felt uncomfortable. The food was okay, but the service was terrible. The server, a young woman, interrupted us four times within the first 40 minutes to remind us that our time was limited, even though we still had an hour and a half left (a total of five interruptions). She repeatedly disrupted our conversation, which felt completely unnecessary. I still left a 20% tip, but honestly, the service didn’t deserve it. I wouldn’t come back here again.

This place is amazing! The staff is so great, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for Omakase in NYC/Brooklyn. Also have to recommend Chef Jack, he is the best!

Just had an incredible omakase experience at Ishi Omakase ?✨ We indulged in their 18-course menu for $125, featuring an amuse-bouche, 12 pieces of nigiri, a temaki handroll, miso soup, and a kanmi sweet. The flavors and textures were absolutely divine, with the freshest fish sourced from select suppliers in small batches. ? Even the A5 wagyu comes with a certificate of authenticity, so you know it’s the real deal. And the wasabi? Made fresh daily right on the premises. Truly enjoyed every bite and can’t wait to go back! ??

Ishi is an excellent omakase addition to the neighborhood and does not disappoint. You sit down for your reservation and usually get served at the same pace as those around you. The fish is fresh, you can definitely tell that. The menu is picked carefully and flows nicely through your meal. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for omakase nearby!

Had an enjoyable omakase experience here. We were able to make a reservation for Saturday dinner on the day of. Service was excellent. Overall a great place for an intimate celebration.

We had the table tasting course with 10 nigiris. Felt full and satisfied from the meal. The sushi tasted fresh and well-executed, I especially liked the otoro and tuna with aioli. Also loved the mountain vegetables from the amuse course. Portions were generous for each person.

Was sad the uni fell off on one of the pieces a moment after it was served, otherwise it was delicious. Serving the miso soup at the end as a palate cleanser before the dessert was a nice touch.

Very good experience. Food was very very good, service was above and beyond.

On the corner of Park Slope’s 5th Ave and St Marks bear Barclays is an amazing Japanese restaurant, Ishi Omakase. Outside is simple yet elegant meeting an L-shaped sushi counter as you open the doors. Ishi’s friendly host seated us promptly and we ordered a couple Sapporo’s and the counter experience for $125. This delicious meal consisted of a 3-dish amuse, three appetizers, eleven nigiri’s, onetemaki, a miso soup, and dessert. Their friendly and attentive Chefs and staffs will introduce you to every course. You can tell the quality culinary ingredients and techniques from each and every bite. Miso soup was served last as opposed to the beginning to wash your palate after the meal. A small piece of homemade sponge cake also accompanied the soup right before a simple yet amazing strawberry jelly for dessert. By Barclays and looking for an omakase? Look no further and go experience Ishi a couple blocks down!

I LOVE Ishi so much... This was my favorite omakase experience in NYC! Brought my parents here for their anniversary and their first ever Omakase.The ambiance is lovely. The interior is warm, inviting and intimate. Staff is very welcoming.The food is AMAZING and high quality. Every single piece was delicious and we were so impressed. I will definitely be back. There are so many great omakase places in NYC but this was the first that made me want to revisit even without a special occasion to celebrate.Thank you to the team at Ishi for such a wonderful experience!

A few pieces stood out and were very good (sweet shrimp, sea scallop, wagyu, toro, hand roll) but other pieces were bland despite the fish being very fresh. Probably wont be back even though i live in the neighborhood.
