Came by for dinner with some friends to try out their omakase! The staff were friendly and the bar was neatly arranged with the chef in the middle. I believe they’re able to seat 12 at a time so we shared the space with another party. The chef was knowledgeable and helped explain each piece as it came out and I felt like the pacing was perfect! Every piece served had amazing flavor and seemed to get better as it progressed. In total there were 15 courses + a dessert which was their matcha and ultimately ended satisfied and happy! Would come back again to try again!

?120 for 16 courses (not include tax and fees).I would say price is the most compatible advantage.

Ci saremo aspettati un servizio più cordiale e professionale da parte della ragazza in sala. Aiutare a togliersi la giacca per esempio é un modo per mostrare interesse verso il cliente da subito. Cibo fantastico, il ragazzo si merita un servizio molto più alto per la professione che mette nel suo lavoro. 5 stelle allo chef

30 mins wait after the reservation time. You as a restauratuers should be responsible for time management. A "sorry for the wait" isn't gonna cut it. Food was mediocre and definitely not worth the wait. Overall: DO BETTER.

The wife and I got the opportunity to dine here. What an amazing experience! If you are into Japanese food, omakase, or just like high quality food, this place is it! Quickly greeted and sat down with a friendly host and chef. Enjoyed every course and thr chef was very nice to explain some of the techniques and cuta of fish. When I'm back in the city, I'm coming back!

The omakase was delicious, my whole group loved it. We had a couple of sake pairings and supplements before desert, when we had to get a second round of it because it was so good.

Full review on IG @valeries.views. Ondo is a delicious, very fun intimate style omakase restaurant. The toro, squid, uni, and wagyu with Foie gras were my favorites! The panna cotta dessert was also to die for! I think there's other omakase restaurants that are a better bang for your buck, but this place was delicious and good quality!
Consistently a fantastic omakase in the city that is not overpriced for the quality of the fish and rice. Will continue to come back often!

This is my go-to omakase in the city. You get good bang for your buck here. I’ve been here several times. I’m always happy with my time and money spent. Fresh taste, big portions, amazing price.Review from first visit 1 year ago:$120 for 16 courses. Chef Harry from Mojo Omakase was there, along with two other omakase chefs. Very generously sized pieces with unique items. Among them were our first course which was a mix of ebi/ikura/Hokkaido uni/ume jelly, the second item which was cooked branzino, and fatty yellowtail which isn’t usually offered elsewhere. The final piece was futomaki (containing pickled radish, wagyu, tuna, mushroom, and caviar) which perfectly completed the meal, rendering me full and not desiring additional pieces. Of note, the rice was perfectly flavored. I appreciated that the dessert item wasn’t the stereotypical mochi ice cream but rather a house-made mango mousse coated in hard white chocolate.

Local New Yorker here! I Came here with my wife, spent $300 for 2 people and walked out with an upset stomach from the food. I’ve been to many Omakase dinners in NYC and can say this was just mediocre. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

Decent omakase and reasonably priced. None of the dishes blew us away, but it's convenient and reasonably

We had a party of 3 and I tell you that the sushi chef is really good. He asked if anyone had allergies or any preference of fish types to avoid. We all enjoyed our meal. As the pieces was served the Sushi Chef explained each fish and it's uniqueness and even told us which seasons they are best in. When we asked a few questions he gladly answered. Very polite and professional. The pieces were very good. Not too much over the top as I don't like Omakase that have too much going on. I prefer to taste the actual fish. He paired them well. I would recommend this place to my friends. Servers were attentive and cleaned up right away after each empty bowl or drinks.
