Food was alright. Average level for omakase that’s priced around $150. Fish cuts on nigiri was thick. Appetizers are a little bit over seasoned. Good fish selection. The foie gras on A5 wagyu was bland. The room temperature was very low my wife caught cold right after.

This may not offer the most upscale environment compared to other omakase spots in the city, but the value, service, and experience are outstanding. Every course was well-seasoned and truly unique, with highlights included the Shirako stew, monkfish liver, Kanpachi, Otoro, Hotate, Uni, and more. We visited during their anniversary promo, which included free sake and additional nigiri course at the end, making an already fantastic meal even better in terms of value.

This place came highly recommended by a close friend and we gave it a shot. Though we weren’t blown away, but as first time trying omakase, this place was fantastic and set the bar very high! Every course was fresh and uniquely tasting. Chef was engaging and very conversational. The dinning environment was clean, comfortable and intimate. In addition to the set course, we were given unlimited orders of four different courses that weren’t on the set! Also the unlimited sale that never seen an empty glass. Needless to say, we walked out of the restaurant happy, satisfied, and full. Would definitely come again in the near future!

What a delightful experience. We had Ken and Kammy take care of us and every thing on offer was a masterpiece. If you are a fan of good Uni, this is your place. Peaceful, intimate and we'll executed!

We've been coming here almost once a month--sometimes every week. Not only the food is beyond amazing, we love the hospitality of the chefs. They always make us feel welcomed, taken care of and just like an old friend. I can tell from the crowd they all share the same sentiment as many of them are returning clients/familiar faces. But yes the food--that umami, presentation, unique texture and flavor profile--just hits home.

"Unique" is a bit of a misnomer. More like "less commonplace than all the other boring Edomae omakase spots". See also: Sushi chef is Chinese. Is that unique?
Anyway, this is one of the more affordable options in the city for 15 courses ngiri and small apps. $85 will nab you some fun dishes like shrimp in shell with uni and seasoned seaweed.
But the main reason to come here? Your birthday. We did a group birthday dinner here (3 out of 4 of us had May birthdays) and were surprised with not one but two generous dishes of birthday sashimi and rice--for free! And those were some pretty generous cuts of salmon, tuna and yellowtail.
Me like free.

I wouldn’t sleep on this place at all. The quality to cost ratio is off the charts good. Very nice staff. Great attention to creativity and detail. Especially loved the Toro roll and the uni/oyster combo. Will most definitely return!

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The value for what you get is outstanding, and the food is simply delicious. The appetizers were incredible , setting the tone for an exceptional meal. The service was top-notch; our tea cups never went empty. Plus, they offer some rare sake that's hard to find elsewhere, adding a unique touch to the experience. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

A friend recommended us this place and we loved it! I don’t understand the low google reviews for this place — the service is friendly, the food is great value, and the atmosphere is nice and welcoming. Will definitely come back when I visit NY, and recommend to all my friends!

This place has decent omakase for a decent price ($120/pp). Omakase for 2, a bottle of sake, and 2 Sapporo beers came out to $360, including tax and tip. The sushi chef is very nice and explains what each piece is as it’s served. The service is great overall. I wasn’t a particular fan of the fish liver which were unfortunately 2 of the 16 pieces served.

Top tier spot at a fair price. Can’t go wrong here. Personal fav was the Hokkaido uni.
