Tried the Omakon, chef choice 5 shashimi, 6 nigiri and 1 handroll. Overall I loved each round of seafood. They picked the progression perfect. There was a really buttery fatty tuna and the mackerel was the best I have ever had. I really enjoyed the meal and will certainly come here again. We were both sufficiently full but ended up getting dessert. The mochi came in 3 flavors and was a great ending to the meal. I will also say the prices are great for some really solid suchi.

The sushi chefs are all or nearly all Japanese and trained in Japan from what I can tell. They have incredibly affordable options for omakase - we chose the $80 omakase including 6 nigiri, 5 sashimi and 1 hand roll. Everything is typically excellent at sushi Katsuei, highly recommend.

In an area where Happy Hour is hardly found, this place is a gem!…read more I love to sit at the sushi bar, as I usually come here alone, everyone working here is very attentive and friendly but make sure if you sit at the bar that you sit away from where they place all the orders (for here and to go) as that spot gets busy and in your way. I've been here many times and my favorite things from the HH menu are the sushi tacos, bite sized different spicy fish with fried wonton skins with some avocado. Spicy tuna is my go to but friends like the spicy salmon. I also ALWAYS order a cucumber salad, very refreshing in a ginger almost peanut like sauce. Round out the HH order with the $1 edamame and one of the rolls. Absolute perfection and not breaking the bank!

They have an extensive cocktail menu with unique flavors. My husband and I started with Miso Soup and Spicy Cucumber. The miso soup was perfect for the cold weather. The spicy cucumber left more to be desired not only was it not spicy, it wasn't that flavorful at all. It tasted like just cucumber. For our main, we shared the Goma Hamachi, American Wagyu Steak, Seared Salmon Roll. The hamachi and salmon roll were our favorites. So flavorful. The steak was okay. Cooked to our liking but flavor-wise wasn't anything spectacular. The sauce it came with tasted like oil with no seasoning. For my drink, I had the margarita with mezcal. It was amazing. For the service, I wish the food had been timed out better. We had a small two top table and the food came out so quickly. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but we rushed eating our apps because we had no table space. We had to constantly shift plates, the candle, and our drinks to make room. It was slightly frustrating.

Amazing little Japanese restaurant!!!…read more I'm always on the hunt for new sushi spots to gorge myself on raw fish. This was an amazing find! It's one of those bitterly cold New York nights and my husband is on his way out of town on business tomorrow, so we wanted to have a cute night out before he goes. We opted for a smaller restaurant to avoid any rushes and I can say for a fact we were not disappointed. I had the spicy dinner rolls (that were enough for two people if I am to be honest), and my husband had the classic sushi dinner. I'd definitely return.

I came into Muteki Udon a bit skeptical since the prices initially felt on the higher side, but…read morethat quickly changed once the bowl arrived. The portion size lined up with the cost, and more importantly, the quality delivered. Every sip of the broth and every slurp of the udon made it clear this was a thoughtfully prepared dish. I went with the niku udon on recommendation and it lived up to it. The flavor was rich and satisfying, and the quality of the meat really stood out. What really put things into perspective was visiting Raku shortly after. At a similar price point, the difference in portion, flavor, and quality of ingredients was noticeable. Muteki felt more filling and more complete as a meal. I left genuinely happy with the experience and would definitely come back to try more of their udon options.

I loved…read morethe ambiance and decor of the place including their handmade bowls and plates, which are individually made by the owner --wow. To start off, we had the Cheeseburger Dumplings ($12), which was so unique. We've never had something like this and they executed it really well. The dumplings were filled with meat and fried with a skirt. The cheese part was topped over it like a melty dressing, so a delicious and special dish here. Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls.
