Sign in to eat? The sea urchin in hand is salty with caviar/the additional snow crab makes me feel sick after eating it?

Joji NYC’s omakase paired with Macallan was an exceptional experience. The intimate setting, with just eight guests, allowed for a highly personalized touch from both the chef and the Macallan host. The 19-course meal showcased a masterful range of sushi and sashimi, each piece thoughtfully explained by the chef. The Macallan host provided insightful commentary on the four distinct pairings, enhancing the culinary journey. The attention to detail from both the chef and staff was impeccable, making for an exquisite evening. However, the initial 30 min wait due to the entrance setup was an inconvenience, as there was no designated seating area and it was too dark!!!

I like this restaurant very much. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, the chef is skilled, and the wine is delicious. The atmosphere in New York is much better than similar restaurants in Japan. It is child-friendly, you can also laugh and chat, and it is relaxing and enjoyable to eat?

"Joji: After trying several times to get ar reservation, we finally managed to visit and see what all the fuss is about. The first location is conveniently situated next to Grand Central, with easy access. We were seated right on time in the small, intimate setting with only 10 seats, which features a lovely decor. Immediately after being seated, we met Chef George, who welcomed us with infectious energy. The vibe, ambiance, and kindness of the staff and service made us feel right at home. I can confidently say that it's the best sushi I've ever had. The food? Absolutely divine! Every dish and taste is heavenly. We will definitely be back. If you want to experience elevated omakase, this is the only place in NYC. Thank you, Chef George, for a crazy, unforgettable night!"

Really solid omakase spot in NYC. Came several months ago with some out of town friends, and were able to enjoy Chef Xiao's expertise and hospitality. Quality is consistently good, service is decently attentive, and atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. It's certainly not the absolute best sushi in town, and prices are, well, NYC-prices, but Joji is still worth the trip and an overall enjoyable experience.

Food definitely tasty. But does not have the WOW factor. Biggest grudge, just totally overpriced for fpwhat you get. NY prices are high but Joji is overpriced.

First off, if you coming for first time, good luck finding the place. Hint: you won’t. I almost gave up after asking several ppl but kept on looking only because I know they will still charge me for no-show. I won’t be able to describe location much only that there are no present signage and it’s basically in sub level of Grand Central Station. Like I said, good luck.It’s a nice place inside and quite modern looking though as with most Omakase rooms, windowless. But duh, it’s in the basement level.Food is good but value not so much. You can argue a Porsche is quite expensive but can you buy another car that drives like a Porsche? Highly unlikely. There are cars close or better but if you want a Porsche, you wud have to pay for one. No so here because while food is great, I can have sushi equal or better for much less. And there was really only one hand roll with tuna and caviar that really stood out.I rarely come out of these Omakases full and normally I won’t complain since it’s mostly fish with some rice but you wud think at this price range, you be full but you wud be wrong and mind you I ate immediately before this dinner and had a lobster roll and salad and was worried I ruined my appetite.There are some pluses like always able to get a seat since it’s so hidden and if you enjoy chatting with the chef, he is quite friendly so this wud be the place for you. I find some to be not too friendly or chatty either because of personality or language barrier.Getting the bill, I feel I shud appreciate Tock where they usually charge you one fee for food and your choice of gratuity beforehand. Here, food cost, tax, tips, and some cheap drinks ran me nearly $600! Ouch. And I was still hungry lol.
