Japanese hospitality at its best. With only 12 seating areas this beautiful restaurant can make you feel welcomed and extremely well taken care of. We were lucky to have chef Tetsu Yagi back from Kyoto and ready to impress us with a beautiful feast. Definitely dive into the Omakase experience and trust your culinary journey to chef Yagi. Thank you for a wonderful night and amazing food experience and memorable food bites.

The reputation seemed too good to be true until I discovered it was justified. The restaurant team impressed us completely. Great cuisine and professional waiters left us completely satisfied. I was genuinely surprised by how good this spot is. I feel intense devotion to this spot.

Great little place if you are looking for straight sushi. I think there are only 3 tables and then the sushi bar. Everything was fresh, high quality.

I received service that doesn't match the negative feedback I've seen. The employee showed a wonderful attitude and ensured our first visit was thoroughly pleasant. The food was satisfying but not the best example we've tried. Everyone says good things about this restaurant, so I came. It's no surprise this spot is always busy.

Unbelievably good. Chef Tetsu is incredibly attentive to every detail. Each dish is perfection; the sakes and cocktails are fantastic. Coco's knowledge of sushi and sake are unmatched. And the vibe here is intimate, warm and welcoming. Outstanding !

The fish, as always, was fresh and of the highest quality. The sake as well. The sushi chef and server, as always at all of the Blue Ribbon's family of restaurants, were spot on, professional and above all made my wife and I feel right at home. The uniqueness of this smaller space, named after the group's late Master Sushi Chef Toshi Ueki, and helmed on this night by their director of sushi, is truly a most special venue providing for an utterly exquisite experience!! Not all of NYC's sushi is the same. This is head and shoulders above most all. Truly, Jason

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!!
