My wife and I ate here last night. We were looking for a unique experience where quality was high and we could share new memories. Omakase Ichi definitely exceeded all expectations.
First, if you are coming here, you should have an open mind as they are selecting all your sushi pieces and you are going to be led in this dance. Chef selects his fish based on availability and quality. That means no two visits here will be exactly the same. You are also experiencing works of art that impress your vision as well as your taste. You will be thoroughly satisfied in every way.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and we learned new things with each offering. We cannot wait to return.

I'm giving Omakase Ichi 5 Stars for being the best Omakase option in Staten Island. For the price the food quality and taste is unbeatable. There are rooms for improvements: 1. the dining pace is a bit fast, slow down a bit would be nice 2. more hot sake option, there is only 1 at this point and it is warmed up by microwaving it. There are hot sake dispensers that can be used instead of microwaving. Also the hot sake gets cold fast, need something better to maintain the temp. 3. my personal preference, i prefer my cold sake in a sake bamboo cup or some other sake cup. Cold sake is in a wine glass and it got warm fast.
I look forward to dine here again when they have a new menu. I prefer a seasonal menu. I understand some patrons wants uni and wagyu. Seasonal is fresher and more sustainable.
Fabulous tasting menu in a calm space. Fresh quality ingredients in a beautiful presentation. Absolutely delicious and fairly priced. Would love to return. Make reservations!!! Favorites - lovely smooth broth is a wild vessel with scallop surprise. Feathery crab in a crispy tart vessel. Pippet to flavor the freshest taste from the sea

Really great experience. This was our first omakase experience and we were blown away. It’s limited seating which makes the experience feel very personal and intimate. Every single bite was excellent and truly some of the best fish we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

The staff made my husband’s 40th birthday so special, intimate, delicious, and novel! They were also so accommodating and nice to our 1.5 year old - who ate the kid’s meal and could not resist the sushi! We had an amazing experience overall and highly recommend this culinary experience!

Exceptional service. The food was amazing. Each course is different from one another and the flavors of the fish are ones that you’ll remember. Everything was like butter. Fantastic time

If you are a fan of Sushi or Omakase this place is a MUST to go to. This is one of Staten Island's best kept secrets. Reservations are necessary and I would recommend showing up 10-15 minutes prior.

What a fun & unique experience. Very intimate, curious, and eager to taste. The chefs were beautifully in sync, like a ballet. The food was fresh & well presented as separate art pieces. Chefs were also endearing, clever & easy to converse with. Only issue was that my friend and i agreed some of the courses looked/tasted very similar but beautiful, nonetheless. The female hostess was so nice & knowledgeable as well, she was so cool engaging with us too without asking. Shows just how much they appreciate the quality & diners of this experience. Loved every minute!

Amazing experience and super fresh food. The problem with omakase however is how often can you really go, when the menu hardly changes.
