Good sashimi and food, but truly excellent service and a nice intimate space. It's sushi so you should have an idea what to expect. We did not order anything exceptionally unique--the 18 piece sashimi which was snapper, tuna, albacore, yellowtail, salmon, mackerel.

We decided to treat ourselves to a boujee sushi dinner on our last night in NYC because good sushi is hard to come by in London.
Big ups to the TikTok recommendation for this place.
Food is definitely on the pricier side, but it was definitely worth it.
We had the seaweed salad, a couple of pieces of sashimi, salmon sushi roll and a prawn roll. All 🔥
Also had two of the sake cocktails - both delish.
Absolutely get a booking here and come try out this epic west village location.
Hope to come back one day!!

Amazing sushi quality and amazing service. It does not get better than this in any sushi spot. However, the only thing to keep an eye on are the prices as it can get expensive quick as with any high grade sushi spot.
Such a unique dining experience, and I love how private the omakase experience was overall. They definitely put some serious TLC into everything they do and all of the imported products from Japan definitely elevate the dining experience. Some of the best Japanese melon I’ve ever had was here.
Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate all of my gluten-free dietary restrictions without compromising the meal for me by having me possibly miss out on something
Parking: Parking may be difficult after 6 but is pretty easy to find if you have no problem paying the meter or a lot.
What a delicious and accommodating experience! Each piece of the 18-course omakase featured a different type of fish, or urchin, and even scallops, from waters around the globe. The chef dressed them with an incredible variety of complementing flavors. Even the pickled ginger was unique and flavorful (there were two distinct types of ginger!)!
The host, Jack, was as friendly with each of us diners as he was knowledgeable about every aspect of the food and drink we sampled. He was a delight to interact with. The chef and his assistant were also very friendly and expert in their craft.
Again, this was a really wonderful dining experience.

I've been to Ueki twice now: once when they first opened in January 2023 and just last week. This is not only the best omakase in NYC, but another impressive addition to the Blue Ribbon repertoire. The super intimate setting is great for a date night if sitting at a booth, but I also enjoyed a fun experience sitting at the bar with a small group of friends and engaging with the chefs as they prepared eighteen courses over two and a half hours. Both dining experiences included my favorite sashimis (lots of tunas, toro, shrimp!) tempuras, and soups, with interesting flavor combinations and luxurious quality food. The maître d', Jack, keeps the pace of dinner moving along. He ensured that we knew important details about each dish and answered questions with effervescence and memorable stories! If you are an experienced omakase you will revel in the quality of the food, but if you've never tried an omakase, this is SUCH a great way to try it. 10/10 highly recommend.
The omakase was fresh and delicious, the chef’s menu was creative and inventive. We really had a great time there. The host was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the origin of each dish. We’ve been there twice already and the menu is seasonal. Highly recommend!

Amazing new spot in the west village for omakase! The food was delicious, the staff was kind and the service was great. I loved how excited the staff was to tell the story of each dish, it was clear how much love and attention went into every detail, from the menu to the decor…perfect. I highly recommend a visit and looking forward to going back soon!

Absolutely beautiful atmosphere where every detail is unique and considered down to the hand-dyed linens and beautiful individual sake glasses, and the food is a creative twist on traditional omakase. Unfussy and comfortable dining, perfect for someone who wants to try omakase for the first time!

Had dinner tonight, amazing food and service! The server made note “all compliments go to the chef”, spoke volumes to their culture and style. Nestled in the heart of west village, this gem needs to be on your list.

2 notches up from other blue ribbon sushi.
Neighborhood gem… amazing sushi chef, fresh fish, stellar service.
