I went there with my daughter, seeking out a high-end sushi experience. They did not disappoint. There were several courses and all were handmade right in front of you. Everything was fresh and held to high standards. The seating was limited, and everyone around us was in a good mood and it made the atmosphere very warm and friendly. The chef and his assistants were very attentive and you did not have to wait for anything, outside of the handmade sushi itself as he made it. I can't imagine any place on earth being better than this when it comes to high-end sushi. Do yourself a favor and go experience it for yourself, I highly recommend this place. This places in my top 5 restaurants ever and is now my daughter's favorite restaurant ever. My apologies for not taking more pictures of the food, I normally refrain from breaking out my phone during a meal. Thank you for the experience! read more

Domo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We got the sumo, which is a 19 course omakase with a matcha panna cotta. My overall thoughts is that while the pieces were good and fish was fresh, I don't think this place is worth a premium over the omakase spots which are under $100. The presentation of some of the pieces is beautiful, almost like art, but I found the chef over used truffle and was using the blow torch quite a bit (leading to a bad smell, which they use a fan to blow this away). The fan and blow torch was also loud. I think if you come here I would recommend just doing the Aki ($120) vs the Sumo ($180). I will say the matcha panna cotta was very good. My bf who isn't a matcha fan or a coconut fan thoroughly enjoyed his. Service was good. The chefs wife constantly refilled our waters and both her and the chef were very personable. read more

What an unforgettable omakase experience in NYC. In the flatiron / Rose Hill area. Great for intimate gatherings, we were a party of 3 and were treated so well by the chef and our waitress. Sparkling water went very well with our 19 course meal. I was blown away by presentation and style. The quality of the ingredients shown through the dishes as they were so complimentarily delicious. read more

First time trying Domo Sushi last night and I thought it was great! Fish was fresh and the flavors from the garnishes weren't overwhelming- they complemented the fish flavor well. There was a good variety of fish prepared in different ways (torched, smoked under a dome, mixed together with sauces). My favorite pieces were the shrimp with foie gras (and some ingredient name I didn't recognize), kanpachi with yuzu, amberjack with cilantro, and the ocean trout with tomato and radish. The shrimp itself was incredibly flavorful but the taste from the other ingredients and/or the sauce was completely new to me and made it one of the main highlights of the night. The kanpachi was cut noticeably thicker than what I've had at other places and seasoned accordingly. The amberjack with cilantro pairing was unique for me as well, just not as unique as the shrimp. And I always like a good, fatty ocean trout or salmon with tomato piece. A recurring theme here is the chef is generous with the fish and ingredients like uni and truffle, knows what flavors work well together, and does a good job making each course presentable/appealing. I also had the Sumo set this time and ymmv but the few extra pieces took away a bit from my overall experience with the food. The extra pieces I had were fluke with uni, black cod with truffle and caviar, a5 wagyu with foie gras, and anago (specific type of eel). A lot of these pieces felt like repeats of pieces earlier on in the meal and were too rich for me. Just a matter of personal preference, I would've liked more white fish with light, refreshing flavors but I know a lot of people enjoy the richness of otoro, wagyu, etc better. The other highlights of the night were the matcha panna cotta dessert and the interactions I had with the owner's wife and other customers. The panna cotta was velvety smooth and had just the right amount of sweetness with the slight bitterness from the matcha balancing it out. I have been searching for dessert spots that might serve something similar haha. And everyone was so sweet and friendly- it was really heartwarming Overall Domo Sushi has become one of my favorite omakase spots in the city and I highly recommend any omakase lover to give them a try read more

Hubs and I visited this spot on a snowy night early in December. We were lucky with a last min res, likely due to the cold and weather. We were greeted warmly by the chef and the waitress and seated promptly. The remaining guests arrived shortly after and our sake was delivered, it was time for the meal to begin! Each dish was delicious! Well composed flavors, fresh fish, and pretty presentation. Uni paired with scallop, truffle garnish that didn't overpower the fresh fish, all so well done. We tapped out after 15 pieces while the rest of the diners opted to continue.. We had slight regret seeing the additional plates, but we were stuffed! Our meal was capped by a refreshing matcha panna cotta dessert that I probably could have had seconds of, despite my fullness(and I'm not the type to order panna cotta ever!) check them out, the price point is great for the experience too! read more

As a long time patron (since 2022) of Domo, please visit Domo at least once if you love sushi, especially omakase. Everyone I recommended to only had exceptional things to say about Domo, some even actually say they have a religious experience there. Chef Jiro puts his love and care for each piece and there's never a bad piece I've ever tasted from him. Every dish is a work of art and is not surprising considering his vast culinary background and his love for art as a hobby. But let's be honest, Sally's homemade matcha panna cotta and friendly personality is what actually will bring you back every time. read more

This is not just my favorite omakase in NYC but my favorite restaurant period. I've been a loyal fan for years, since back when they had the prior Mott St location. I come here as often as I can and I'll use any special occasion (birthdays, new job, out-of-town visitors, etc.) as a reason to go celebrate at Domo. My friends and I are so obsessed with this place that we refer to it as "going to church" because every dinner is a religious experience. When we partake of the Lord's table, we praise, worship, speak in tongues, confess, repent, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose. The whole staff is sweet, friendly, and wonderful. Jiro is my hero. He's the head chef and I think he's a genius. I love how he combines different complementary/contrasting flavors and textures: if there's soft he'll add crunch, if there's sweet he'll add bitter. Seating is limited, which is ideal because it's never too crowded or rushed. I sometimes end up having friendly chats with the people seated next to me, which creates a welcoming and communal atmosphere that is really rare and lovely. This place is so amazing it gives me an existential crisis (in a good way) because the rest of my life can't compare. It's a delicious, masterful, hedonistic experience and I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Domo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

It was absolutely delicious. I have been omakase-ing for over a decade and this by far is one of my favorite. The unique culinary style and craft put into it, the presentation, the quality-it checked all the boxes for me. One chef, one waitress. Nothing extra needed. My one suggestion might be to have a bigger variety of dessert, my husband does not eat coconut and there weren't any alternatives for him, two for me so I still win! read more

Domo omakase is my all time favorite restaurant-- across not just sushi restaurants but any food establishment. I've been here at least a dozen times and I keep coming back for more. I tell everyone I know how much I love this place. If you're thinking of coming, come! It's been absolutely worth it every time. This restaurant serves omakase; in other words, I trust the chef to select the fish for me, as opposed to choosing off of a menu that lists the available fish. Every time I go, chef has cooked up some new seasonal items. I am always surprised by the new crafts and pleased with the classics. Sometimes I feel nostalgia for a piece I had once or twice before, but hasn't come back into the menu rotation since. The pieces are mainly raw, seasonal fresh fish, plus wasabi, plus chef's special seasonings. Some pieces are seared or smoked. Some pieces come fully cooked, such as the anago. All taste lovely. If you're not a fan of wasabi, you may ask to exclude it. Pickled ginger is served on the side. You won't see soy sauce for dipping here; you won't need it anyway. My hunger levels are satisfied and sometimes really full after eating the standard course. I always look forward to hot tea and the matcha panna cotta dessert at the end as well! For drinks, they now serve alcohol with selections available from a drinks menu. The new location on 29th street is much more cozy and relaxing than the stall inside the busy Mott Street Eatery. While the stall experience definitely made for some fun times, the new location is welcoming and attuned to the owners' tastes (in art and food). I am looking forward to coming back again and again. read more

A transcendent experience... I don't even know where to begin--this omakase was next level. If you're even thinking about coming here, just do it. You won't regret it. From the moment I sat down at the counter, I could tell this place was serious about the craft. The vibe isn't stuffy like other omakase counters, but intimate and minimalist, no loud music--just you, the chef, and the freshest fish you'll probably ever eat in your life. The food - Every piece was perfectly timed and balanced. The rice? Warm, perfectly seasoned. Even dessert was thoughtful-- the creamiest custard, covered in matcha which struck such a perfect balance, it made my mouth sing. The service is what really sets this place apart - you're getting an experience, one-on-one with a chef who clearly pours his soul into every piece. The sake kept coming without us asking (which in my book makes every service experience 11/10). Just the sweetest folks you could ever meet. TL;DR: This place is a hidden gem. Go hungry. Sit at the counter. Trust the chef. And prepare to be blown away. read more

Need a casual dining experience that is still titillating to the taste buds? Sushi Chef Jiro's omakase experience will not disappoint your stomach nor eyes! The price point is also something your wallet will be pleased with, too. Tucked away in an unassuming small food court, the 3-seat countertop offers diners an up close view of each of the 14 pieces being created (with concern for individual diner's dietary restrictions/allergies, too). Refreshing (complimentary) hot green tea was served with our meal. And don't be afraid to use your hands to pick up the nigiri... as you can see from the photos, some of the nigiri is stacked rather delicately and not conducive for less-than-skilled chopsticks users to test their hand at balancing acts. My friend and I watched on as our nigiri was flambéed, infused with smoke, and shaped into delectable works of art. And let me tell you... the fresh-tasting fish, caviar, truffles, rice, and other culinary elements well-exceeded every one of our expectations!!! My friend even started 'happy fat kid' humming midway through the meal. I also greatly appreciated the conversation held with Jiro and his wife--they spoke Mandarin Chinese, which was a pleasant surprise! Service, food, value...everything was wonderful, and I am still dreaming of this Jiro's sushi (albeit, he's not the famous Jiro from a well-known documentary). Can't wait to visit NYC and Domo Sushi again in the future!!!! read more

Wow. This is truly one of my favorite omakase spots in the city. The quality of the fish was amazing and very fresh. The chef was very generous either uni, caviar and truffle. I was surprised how much I loved the matcha panna cotta at the end too. The service and vibe was incredible as well. I'm very picky with omakase and this place did not disappoint. I can't wait to go back. read more

Make reservations ahead of time! We had a party of 6 and we were able to sit by the counter. The staffs were friendly and omakase were delicious!

Domo Omakase is my new favorite sushi place in NYC. The ambiance is clean, simple modern, and very inviting. The hostess is very hospitable, friendly, and attentive. The sushi chef, trained in Japan, is truly a master of this skill. The presentation of each piece served is beautifully crafted - taste is fresh and flavorable yet clean. Overall an amazing experience. I've come several times with other friends and it's become their new favorite omakase place. Don't forget to save room for the delicious matcha panna cota dessert at the end! Can't wait to book my next reservation! read more

Came here with a good friend because we saw the high reviews, and thought the $100 Omakase was a good deal for what you get. It came with 13 courses, plus a hand roll and a dessert. This little unassuming sushi bar has very tasty sushi with high quality fish, and awesome boujee seasonal toppings. I always enjoy truffles, caviar, foie gras, and gold flakes though I know the latter is probably a hot take as it adds nothing outside of style, but it jus looks so cool . Most importantly, the fish itself is never overpowered and always feels like the main feature. I also loved the dessert - a super creamy and not overly sweet matcha panna cotta that was made fresh in house. I think this was a perfect amount to leave satisfied and not overly full. Having done 8 piece and even 20 piece Omakase before, this is definitely a happy medium. Our sushi chef (I believe the owner?) was cool and funny too! He was super busy making takeout orders for others in between our courses, but he still answered any questions we asked. Maybe you won't get as much of a full conversational experience as you could elsewhere, but that's why we bring friends anyway right? Overall solid recommendation from me, 5/5 read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 5 Value: 10 Overall: 9 What a concept! High end Japanese omakase in a food court. Restaurant owner save on rent costs and pass the savings onto the customers by providing amazing quality at an excellent price. Fyi, this is not my first sushi omakase experience inside a food court. There was another spot in Honolulu I tried last year. Sadly, that location is now closed due to covid. With that said, that restaurant costed more than Domo and nowhere near the satisfaction. First of all, just from pictures on Yelp I saw before my visit to Domo Sushi, I already knew some of Chef Jiro's past work experience. His style is very modern and immediately reminded me of what Chef Don Pham has been doing for a few years now at his restaurants. Apparently, speaking to Chef Jiro, he did work with Chef Don at Sushi Ishikawa for a short period of time. Well, you know what they say, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." At current grand opening price of $100, I am not hating on Chef Jiro at all. If anything, I appreciate him giving me another option to taste very similar food when I can't get a sushi bar reservation at Ishikawa, which is always busy. However, according to their website, regular price for the omakse will be $130 ... ... better go now! Three of us enjoyed a fantastic meal last week. Omakase included 10 pieces of sushi, two entrees, hand roll, and a dessert. We added some extra pieces and dishes. Sushi: Otoro (Fatty Bluefin Tuna) - seared, miso Hotate & Uni (Scallop & Sea Urchin) - smoked Suzuki (Sea Bass) - seared, scallion, ginger Gindara (Black Cod) - shaved summer truffle Kanpachi (Amberjack) - lemon zest Dungeness Crab, Otoro & Kaluga Caviar Zuke Akami (Marinated Lean Tuna) - garlic zest Double Otoro - summer black truffle Botan Ebi (Spot Prawn) - mullet roe, shaved foie gras Tempura Shiso Leaf, Mentaiko & Uni Entree: Black Pepper Otoro w/ Tobiko - sweet miso sauce Ankimo w/ Kaluga Caviar - creamy ponzu sauce Hand Roll: Chopped Toro, Uni, Ikura, Takuan, Scallions, Rice Puffs Extras: Shima Aji (Striped Jack) - scallion, ginger Hamachi Toro (Yellowtail Belly) - yuzu pepper Anago (Sea Eel) - eel sauce, rice puffs Grilled Gindara & Kaluga Caviar - miso butter sauce Dessert: Matcha Pana Cotta For $100, this is an amazing meal, regardless of the ambiance. Since there is only three seats, a constant issue is multiple requests for takeout sushi from other customers. Chef Jiro sometimes have to stop and speak with them or rush some of our food. If you're don't mind that, the rest of the service provided by the hostess Sally was quite nice. For one thing, she always made sure that our tea cups were filled without it ever getting empty. Trust me, that means a lot to me. Anyway, the Mott Street Eatery was pretty empty the night of our meal. I pray the food court's business picks up with the nicer weather, resulting in more customers who will discover this little gem of a restaurant. read more

My friend wanted to get sushi for lunch and she suggested this place. I had no idea what to expect and I actually had a bit of trouble finding this place because I didn't know it was a stall in a Chinatown food court. We actually didn't have much time so Domo Sushi's quick, efficient service was perfect for us. Every bite tasted so good, a masterful use of salt and citrus to bring out the flavors of the fish. Finishing off the meal was a really tasty and refreshing matcha panna cotta. I'd easily come again (and the food court itself had a lot of good food I want to come back and try). There is a credit card surcharge because of the credit card companies high fees so bring cash or a debit card, apple pay should work too. read more

I'm a Chinatown boy and I was skeptical about trying out a high end sushi bar located inside a food court. But I heard a few good things from some friends and thought I needed to try it for myself. I came by for lunch with my wife to celebrate Mother's Day. We were seated at the bar (seats up to 6, more on that later) and ordered the Aki Omakase (14 pieces). There's a smaller version for $70 more suitable for lunch (9 pieces) but hey, it's a celebration peaches. I try to make some small talk in the beginning but Jiro is reserved in the beginning and was getting a feel for us. I'm calling out the fish and ingredients as he's preparing the sushi and as each piece comes out... I'm more and more impressed, hokkaido uni, truffles, foie gras, gold leaf, toro, caviar... he spared no expense on high end sushi stuffs. At the end of the Aki, we were just enjoying ourselves so much that we upgraded to the Sumo (4 more pieces) which is usually reserved for regulars. Wagyu, more caviar, more toro, tiger shrimp, booyah. Finally at the end, Sally (his wife), serves a surprise dessert at the end and it's amazing (spoiler alert: the Matcha Panna Cotta is to die for). We make some more small talk and they talked about the challenges of working in the food court (some random guy walks up to the counter and asks for a coke?!), but the food is great and they are getting lots of love and support. I saw a picture of a group of 30 dining there, 6 at the bar and the rest being served in the tables behind them. It really is a small shop being run with love and care, and I admired their dedication to the craft. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back here. read more

This omakase was so lovely. Didn't know what to expect walking into the food court, but the reviews are true to their word - this unassuming spot is such a treat. They kindly seated me as a walk-in and quickly served me before the next party was supposed to arrive. I had a lovely time chatting with Sally while Chef Jiro crafted delicious and creative nigiri pieces. The flavors were unique, different from the other typical NYC omakase spots in a good way. It was a very special experience, I'd definitely come again! To reserve for omakase, you just have to call them. They don't do online reservations read more

Was looking forward to our meal to celebrate a project completion but sadly was very disappointed. In the recent era of value-oriented pop-up omakases and new LA-style informal sushi joints all over NYC, Domo is priced at a meaningful and unjustifiable premium to such "nuevo sushi" spots considering its quality. Our sushi was at best the same as that peer group (with novelty/gimmicky ingredients masking decent quality - though hardly high grade - fish). A few of the pieces were even quite pedestrian. Most noticeably we felt the rice tasted "not fresh" enough for proper sushi. Most of the sushi emphasized creativity than accentuating the freshness of the fish with creativity. The bottarga dusting was nice though the use of truffles was a bit heavy and repetitive. Torched sushi always provide a nice accent, but overuse (together with the unnecessary and noisy fan to draw away light fumes and cool the hand-torch) crosses into the realm of gimmick. Wasn't expecting the meal to be of the same elevated pedigree as high-end traditional sushi places that charge far more; but Domo is more an overpriced nuevo-sushi spot than a good value top-end sushi establishment. This is not meant to be a put-down on nuevo-sushi, with similar places like Sushi Kai, Matsunori, Genki, Sushi by Bou or Sugarfish, etc. all a very welcome addition in NYC. They fill an important access- and price-point ($80-100) in the segment between supermarket/all-you-can-eat sushi and Yasuda/Nakazawa. Domo is just not up to par within that mid-category. Our party of five sushi fans had an early-ish dinner reservation at the end of a workweek, yet the place was completely empty which was probably a bit of a red flag. It felt a bit odd in space designed for more diners. Nevertheless, we looked forward to having more personal interactions with the sushi itamae that's part of an omakase experience. But here things also fell flat. The first bad sign was upon our initial seating - one of us had to go use the restroom to first wash her hands at arrival. But the chef rushed to place her first piece on her plate even before she returned. What's the hurry? We were early for our reservation, were literally the only diners there, and my friend was only away for a brief moment. Absolutely poor form and the antithesis of traditional omakase elegance or pop-up omakase friendliness. The rest of the meal was hardly personable and really felt begrudgingly performative. Maybe he was having a bad day. Our experience was literally a rushed affair and completed in 45 minutes. There was no patrons waiting or arriving as we left. It was just a very unsatisfying omakase experience - both in terms of food and service. read more

Domo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My cousin usually picks out nice restaurants to take me for my birthday, so I was a bit taken by surprise when she told me we were going to the recently opened Mott Street Eatery to celebrate it. The Mott Street Eatery is a food court that used to house Joy Luck Palace, a dim sum banquet restaurant. Now, the walls are lined with little stands serving a variety of foods from which you order, pickup, and bring to the central space dining area. We walked over to the second stand on the right side of the main entrance, and there we were greeted by Chef Jiro and his assistant at Domo Sushi. This is the only spot in the food court at which you can sit at the food stand, but it only has a maximum of four spots, so reservations are recommended. We really lucked out, as my cousin did not think to reserve our spots since it was in a food court, but when we arrived, there were already two spots reserved. The assistant quickly set up our two seats, Chef Jiro introduced himself, told us he was going to create a lovely Omakase for us, and he proceeded to create delicious morsels as we watched. Each bite he presented to us was fresh and unique in its flavor profile. It was the kind of omakase you'd expect at a high-end sushi restaurant, except it felt more intimate because there were just four of us. They closed the omakase with a delicious Matcha Panna Cotta that was lightly sweet, delicate, and silky. A perfect ending to a lovely omakase indeed. read more

I wanted to keep this place a secret but it wouldn't be fair. I also want to support incredible small businesses like these in light of the crushing blow the pandemic caused in this industry. Let's start with what an unexpected and incredible gem at a food court in Chinatown this is! This is no jab at the wonderful local businesses surrounding Domo, as I've tried them as well, but it's certainly an outlier in a most inconspicuous way. It would be relatively easy to walk past the minimalist stand and not realize the treasure before you. The quality of the omakase and the chef's handiwork are unparalleled. I personally feel Domo is on par with some of the high-end sushi spots, but at an incredible steal. It leans on the more inspired end with Chef Jiro's unexpected play of sushi classics, subtly dressed with fresh market flavors, and taken to the next level with the help of a good sear or wood-smoked infusion. It's creative but not heavy-handed--the flavors play off of each other to enhance, not hide, the star ingredient. It's enough to express his unique palate. The chef is generous with premium ingredients like uni, truffles, caviar and foie gras. A little gold foil doesn't hurt. Most of the sushi are so lovely to look at that I dream of framing them, or wearing them like jewelry. Don't judge. I wouldn't be surprised that the quality and measured creativity could be close to a Michelin star, but what do I know. But I do know that I thoroughly enjoyed it--more than most well-reviewed and popular sushi restaurants. If I had any minor quibble, it would be that there were one or two pieces that were slightly too cold. The matcha coconut panna cotta was such a perfectly light and almost palette cleansing end to an incredible course. It was deliciously creamy, pleasantly bitter--by way of quality matcha--and faintly sweet. We had a wonderful time chatting with the talented, hardworking and humble Chef Jiro and his sweet wife, Sally. The chef has had more than 40 years of experience as a sushi chef and it shows. I believe they used to own their restaurant in Tribeca but, like many others in the restaurant business, they took a hit, rent was too high, and they had to let it go during the pandemic. Although I had not tried their original restaurant(s?), you can feel the battle scars. I'm so happy for the gift of their return, and that they have been able to pivot by scaling back while they regain their bearings in the almost-post pandemic era. And although it's at an eatery, most of the time, I found myself so focused on enjoying the quality and choice of flavors, while watching the chef do his magic, that I barely noticed. And there's a unique appeal to the incongruity of it all, that makes it such a New York experience. Also note, there are usually only three seats available for Omakase, so reservations are probably a good idea but I was able to walk in twice. However, you can sit at the shared tables and order from the standard menu, from what I understand. Experience this wonderful find at this incredible price point, before they run off to greener pastures! read more

This is not really your everyday ordinary sushi place although it does provide Americanized and normal sushi courses. I rate this place 5* because of its Omakase. Many rare ingredients are used. I got the chance to try uni from 3 places which are CA, Maine and Hokkaido. They also have fatty blue fin tuna from Spain. The owner does have a good taste in food. Every piece of sushi in the Omakase is consisted with different ingredients and is made with many layers in harmony. Each piece is an piece of art. I enjoyed sitting their and watching the chef crafted the art pieces. The dessert was a bomb. The green tea powder contains the real tea flavor and is very bitter which enhances the sweetness of the coconut pudding. I will definitely visit again. read more

If you are a sushi fan then this is a must try. I mean, just look at our photos... I have been to many omakase and high-end sushi restaurants and this place is definitely among the best I have tried. Hands down the best value you can find anywhere. Chef was generous in his offerings and every single piece was a piece of culinary art. And the dessert, omg! They could just open a dessert shop with this single dish! We got to hear the chef and his wife's story and got touched. Like all Asian parents who are immigrants here, they are trying their best to support their kids. Make us think a lot about our parents. If you are still hesitating then... stop, reserve or come out to this place to try their omakase. You wont regret it. To the owners, if you are reading this, my wife has just seen your daughter's email and shes going to reply to her soon. I wish you 2 the best of luck! read more

This sushi restaurant came highly recommended so we headed over only to find out it was in a food court. I know this is training now all over but it's not what you're expecting for a high-end sushi restaurant. There were only three seats at his bar and it was reserved for omakase customers only. We went ahead and ordered two rolls and a variety of nigiri (1 piece per order) and sat at the common shared tables. The rolls came out in a flash and were not your mall food court variety. We parked up. Then came the nigiri that hit across the spectrum: toro with shaved black truffle, torched salmon with tomato, uni, ikura. If he was in a location with just his sushi bar... he would be a legend. Offering a $100 omakase menu next to folks selling $2 dim sum and other cheap cuisine is jarring. We went back to the menu to try the monkfish liver for good measure. We left completely full and pleasantly surprised. This is a gem of a restaurant and worth seeking out. read more

While visiting the city, I had an evening to kill and was able to get in for the 8:30 seating at Domo omakase. It was a really exceptional experience. The artistry in the combinations of flavors and the presentation of the various pieces was top tier. Every new dish was an opportunity to just close my eyes and savor the genius. The quality and freshness of the ingredients was stellar, up to and including the chef grabbing a little planter of living sprouts and slicing off the tops for fresh garnish. One of my favorite dishes was actually dessert, which was a gorgeously balanced, lightly sweet coconut panna cotta with a slightly bitter matcha sauce. The combination was heavenly, the perfect mix of sweet and bitter. I was told that it is a creation of the chef's wife, and truly I cannot compliment it enough. I am not really a dessert person most of the time (I think many desserts lack depth and are not interesting outside of just being sweet), but this blew me away. I understand their location is pretty new. It has a really great vibe, with beautiful exposed wood beams and a very nice sushi bar, and it is well decorated with some of the chef's paintings (an artist in more way than one it seems). I think another nice big one right behind the bar would be a great addition. It's mostly irrelevant to this review, but I really did like the paintings quite a lot. Anyway, truly an incredible meal, definitively a spot that I will come back to whenever I'm in the city. read more

I decided to give it a shot after seeing the nice reviews and photos of omakase. I got the lunch special, 3 rolls for $18, and this is what I got. I think the deli around my apartment does a better job. They say a picture is a worth a thousand word, so I'll let you be the judge. read more
