All you can eat omakase but they will give you a tiny slice of meat on top of a disproportionate amount of rice. Every piece of wagyu was just fat as well. We had a rude waitress who wouldn’t give us time to order our all you can eat portions. After we asked if we could first finish our current plate, she responded with “I’ll give you 1 minute.” We felt rushed and uncomfortable with our experience. The same waitress passive aggressively told me to finish all my rice, despite the portions being off.
The initial omakase offering was good even though the all you can eat rounds were not. For the price you’re paying, this experience is
not worth the trouble.

This was a solid AYCE experience for Omakase. They provide bottomless beer and sake as well. I stuck with Orion. They'll walk you through a lineup of different nigiri and the last three selections of lean tuna, fatty tuna and wagyu beef are unlimited portions, but as the chef prepares each protein at a time, you have to let them know how many pieces of each you would like beforehand.
I would say this is a great value if you come hungry, but for myself I'm not particular to having sushi or nigiri in such a high volume.
My favorite roll was the tuna and uni hand roll. It was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend coming here especially if it is a part of your NYC Sushi/Omakase tour.

The food it self was good but for the price that we paid we definitely did not get our moneys worth. There’s definitely other spots that I would rather go to with a better value.

Omakase has been on the top of my list so I was excited for this opportunity when I saw $100 for all you can eat and drink. I would of rather spent it at an expensive steak house and had real wagyu. The sushi was yummy but for 9 thin pieces of fish not really worth it. Saki was good and the staff was friendly. Not real wagyu from my experiences. Fatty Tuna was my favorite. Would skip and just go to a steakhouse get a roll, steak and cocktail.

The most overrated and bad omakase I’ve ever had. Save yourself some time and money at somewhere else that is a real omakase restaurant.
Food was alright, not even sure if it’s fresh fish, as they were all precut.
1) The worst service ever. They made me put my coat away at an Omakase restaurant??
2) The menu claims to be unlimited, but you don’t ask if we need refills? Trust me this is their unique selling point, or else how do they differentiate themselves from the rest of the Omakase restaurants in NYC? There’s so many good restaurants here. I had to constantly ask for water or drinks myself.
3) At the end of the course, you have 3 chances to do the so called unlimited courses, the options were: lean tuna, fatty toro, and wagyu. Not only are the pieces tiny, but also there were so many restrictions. If you don’t order it at this time, you can’t order anything afterwards. And you can’t even do light on rice? I thought this is an omakase restaurant where chefs curates the dishes and personalized to guests. If you left any rice it’ll be $10 per piece.
Overall, if you’re so stingy on giving out unlimited drinks to guests please do not include drinks in your unlimited menu, and so strict on when or what we can order at an omakase restaurant. Also, please do not call yourself an omakase restaurant if you can’t even personalized the dishes to guest. This is such a rip off $98/ person.

This is my second time (first time was at the original location) and I must say this is the better of the 2. The people here are amazing especially chef Jay. He was friendly and all the nigiri pieces were consistent.
This place also doesn’t play loud music so it doesn’t feel like a club compared to the original location. Even though I’d say the pieces here are smaller, they were made with consistency and quality.
Thank you to chef Jay for making it a great experience. Will definitely be back at this location.

What an amazing experience! Great place for omakase with all you can drink sake and beer as well as AYCE tuna and wagyu pieces at the end.
I think it’s important to realize that this is not an AYCE sushi restaurant. Rather, you get 12 pieces of omakase that is followed by AYCE of 3 types of sushi pieces: lean tuna (raw), fatty tuna (raw or torched), and wagyu (torched). You have to choose how many pieces that you want of each, and you can’t go back to re-order more. I ordered 5 lean tuna, 8 fatty tuna, and 20 wagyu. Also keep in mind that the amount of meat that you get is relatively small, so you might want to order a bit more. The quality of the fish and wagyu is not the best that I have had, but still fresh and delicious.
It was great to have endless amounts of sake and beer. I liked the sweet sake more than the dry sake. We had such a blast drinking and eating together! Great place to come with friends to share a meal and some drinks.
We came here with a group of six people for the 5:30 PM slot. You can choose either the counter or window option, so be aware when you’re choosing your reservation. We all made separate reservations online, and two of us were seated at the window and four of us were seated at the counter. It was still nice because we were seated close to each other and could all talk. It was also interesting because being seated at the counter or the window changes your experience. I would recommend sitting at the counter because you get each piece fresh, and you get to interact with the chef. If you sit at the window, you get six pieces at a time.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a unique experience and a fun time!

Great sushi accompanied by even better service from wait staff and chefs! The sushi was very tasty, but the AYCE finisher is hit or miss depending on your eating capacity. Overall it was a very unique experience and more fun than I expected!
Food: The omakase course was on the simpler side but the quality of the fish made each great bites. My favorite part of the meal was definitely the set course portion. You could really taste and enjoy the unique qualities of the fish especially the seasonal selection. The AYCE portion is an interesting idea and would be great for bigger eaters that might feel like they need for to be fully satisfied, but it feels like it pushes you to try to “get your moneys worth”. The AYCE sushi was still undoubtably good but it left me wishing more of the value of the meal was in the omakase instead of the AYCE at the end.
Service: The staff was very accommodating to not only allergies but also taste preferences. Our chef was a lot of fun and really encouraged us to eat till we were happy.
Atmosphere: The space is on the smaller size but thankfully they don’t crowd the space and the seating was very comfortable. The decor is minimal, but sets the tone for a good night.

The omakase was decent, nothing special. It was a great value though with the all you can eat option, but the nigiri pieces all had much more rice ratio than the protein.

Good experience for what it is and the value is definitely there. The omakase was only 12 pieces even though I think others have been saying it was 14 pcs? Anyway then we headed into the all you can order option - first up was lean tuna, then fatty tuna, then wagyu. All the ayce pieces were much smaller, maybe half of the regular pieces so keep that in mind. Overall good experience tho didn’t quite line up with the other reviews/social media. Drink options were dry same / sweet sake or Orion beer(!). Dessert was half a piece of mochi lol felt that was a weird way to end an omakase - I think each person should get at least a single one!

A great value experience, the sashimi is fresh and delicate!
Among them, scallop, bluefintuna, big belly, grilled cod, sweet shrimp, grilled New Zealand king salmon, grilled eel and other ingredients are all fresh and delicious?The Hokkaido sea urchin is also fresh and sweet
The hand rolls include Wagyu beef and foie gras rolls. The fat aroma of Wagyu beef and foie gras are well blended. There are also tuna hand rolls with pickled radish, which makes the taste richer.
