For the price you are paying, you are getting a good deal on most of the sushi, and chef omakase or tasting menu. On our recent trip, I ordered the $50 omakase, while my my brother and sister in law ordered the $75 chef special. How they differed, we were not sure. Later we found out that we were both to get a variety of dishes all of which were rather outstanding. Unfortunately, my $50 entree came with a rather boring close of 3 salmon, 3 tuna, and 3 scallop sashimi's. However my brother and sister in law received a true omakase tasting featuring approximately 10 sushi all of the better higher-end cuts, along with a special roll. The overall ambiance of the place is done up nicely as the price point suggests. Not entirely overboard, but just the right touches. The service here is also quite attentive with hosts and waiters being very welcoming. Just be mindful that they do get busy as most places during peak and weekend hours. I've learned my lesson and will not cheap out here and will order the $75 omakase. If you're not as hungry, they $50 will do, just know that you will be getting more sashimi than sushi, and the cuts will be your basic run of the mill. The $75 omakase is where things shine from start to finish.

Never been here before but always in the area shopping and we decided to give it a try and I'm happy we did. Came on Saturday around 6 and we came at the right time cause it started to get packed real fast. Upon arriving we were seated right away and I started off with a few sapporra beers. For food I got the fillet with shrimp over fried rice and my wife got chicken over fried rice. I also got a shrimp and chicken tempura roll and both were excellent. Very flavorful and very good sushi! The hibachi was also very good and I will definitely be back. I really enjoyed this place and I love how they have great happy hour specials and New Year's Eve deals! If you haven't been here you definitely need to check this place out! Food and service were great and the food was reasonably priced. I felt for what we got in food and apps the price was definitely cheaper than I expected! Will definitely be back and can't rave enough

They were super friendly, as said before, and asked if we were ok and wanted anything else. Everything came out fast. Granted, it's not packed but there are a fair amount of people that are in here.

There could be a line sometimes depending on when you come, but that's the only issue you'd probably run into. I had the all you can eat here and it was fantastic. They have many traditional rolls like Philadelphia, California, Tuna, etc. Alongside those, they have a ton of special rolls like the Roger Roll (sushi roll with crab) Kani Naruto (almost like a reversed California roll), etc. The food comes out very quick and is presented really nicely, the staff is knowledgeable on ingredients, and I loved how the menu had a star next to meals that have allergens that people tend to have. A great experience, would definitely come back again!

Everything came out on paper plates with plastic cutlery and wooden chopsticks which was honestly fine by us, easy clean up for them and a casual night out for us. We were checked in on frequently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our sushi, plus a few nice little extra touches like extra wasabi, etc. Everything was fresh and tasty and came out quickly and accurately. A solid sushi spot if you're in the area and have a craving.

I've been going here for yrs the food is ok but mostly it's conveniently located where I'm running errands. The staff is generally rude & unfriendly but a recent night there recently was especially unpleasant. I brought my dad there after spending a long day in the hospital where my brother was going through a life altering medical emergency. We were so emotionally exhausted & we just wanted to have a nice meal & decompress. I looked up online they were open til 10 pm & it was 9 so figured it was a reasonable choice considering it was an entire hr before close. We experienced the typical coldness from the staff & we ate or food quickly bc we hadn't eaten all day. My dad had almost a full beer left so I asked if the waitress could add a small hot sake to the order & bring the check. At that point the waitress told me she wanted to go home. Mind you it was 9:15 at this point. When she begrudgingly came back with the sake, I thought that maybe I had made a mistake and asked kindly what time they were open till at that point she told me they were open till 9:40? which still wouldn't explain such a rude and unprofessional response bc it was only 9:15? We were absolutely flabbergasted. It was unbelievable to experience such a level of rudeness & unprofessionalism esp after having experienced such an emotionally taxing day. I will never be dining there ever again.

Hoping it was just a one-time issue.

Let's start with the good. We went on a full Saturday night. Our waitress and waiter, despite their…read moreeerily "The Menu-esque" mannerisms, were very friendly. The waiter very enthusiastically brought me a perfectly chilled beer and a perfectly chilled glass. I dug that. The Tokyo White beer was delicious. One of the best beers I've had. Our waitress did - on at least two occasions - tell us the chef recommends that we eat the dish faster and immediately after it is placed in front of us. To her credit, she said it in the nicest possible way and we obliged. Now let's talk about the food. The first course was an oyster. Tasted like eel sauce and wasabi- but a good balance. The second course was some sort of Tataki. It was also pretty good. Tasted like eel sauce and wasabi- but a good balance. The third course was some sort of seaweed salad. It was pretty good. Tasted like eel sauce and wasabi (you might be starting to recognize a pattern). The fourth course I don't fully remember the name of. It did NOT taste like eel sauce and wasabi. It was a warm dish, temperature wise. It kind of tasted like a thick seafood/corn chowder, but it wasn't a soup and it has a shredded consistency. It was alright. The next course was what they described as some sort of chef specialty soup that had to "cook for hours and hours".. It was miso soup. It was good miso soup. As good as any $4 miso soup I've had at any good, local, non-Omakase sushi restaurant. Was it better? No. And it was served in a plastic cup. It really should've been served in some sort of a stone or ceramic cup/bowl. I don't even eat out of plastic in my own home when I'm throwing together a quick $10 meal. There may have been one more starter course- but if there was, it certainly wasn't memorable. Now we're onto the "main course" dishes. This might be the fault of my own ignorance, that I expected the dishes to be very unique and make us "oooh and ahhh". But the next five courses are just single pieces of sushi roll. The staff and the chef would show us pictures of the fish and the chef would hold up the actual fish they were using- as well as showing us the JFK shipping label to confirm that it had been flown in recently. I believe you! But these next five dishes are where the immeasurable disappointment really kicks in. Each single roll was from a different type of fish- and I'm sure it was some of the highest quality, freshest fish they could source. Unfortunately, every single piece tasted exactly the same. This is not hyperbole or an exaggeration- all five of the next courses tasted exactly the same- like an average sushi place roll but with eel sauce SATURATED rice and a big glob of wasabi. That was the only flavor profile- eel sauce and wasabi. Some of them were seared with a torch. The ones that were seared with the torch had a slightly different flavor profile- the torched ones tasted like eel sauce, wasabi and butane from the torch! Again, this is not hyperbole or exaggeration- the main course sushi rolls from this high-end Japanese restaurant all tasted exactly the same. If I had bought those rolls at a regular sushi restaurant for $20 per six pieces I would've been disappointed. It's just not good. It's boring. All you can taste is soy sauce, eel sauce, wasabi, and butane.. I truly felt like they were playing a joke on us- seeing how pretentious they could act while serving us beyond overpriced and mediocre food and watch us all eat it up both figuratively and literally. Every single $15 roll I've had from Sushi Ichi or Mt Sinai Sushi (two other local Japanese restaurants) is preferable to what they're serving at Sora Omakase. We had the option of adding on a single piece Wagyu beef roll for $30. Thankfully, I didn't fall for it. I'm sure it would've tasted like eel sauce, wasabi, and butane. Now let's move on to the last course. They called it a "dessert" - but it's another salty fish dish of some sort. I don't fully remember what it was, but I do remember that there was a little piece of plastic on top of it. So I have to awkwardly ask the chef if this piece of, what I clearly know is plastic garbage that shouldn't have made its way to my plate, is edible.. the chef feigns a language barrier and pretends like he doesn't know what I'm saying. He tells me that it's seed garnish. I say "no not the garnish- I'm asking what this little piece of plastic is" and pointed it out to him. He says " oh that's paper" and he plucks it off my dish before I had a chance to take a picture of it. I didn't expect them to give me money back or even remake it- but they barely acknowledged it and didn't even apologize for the mistake. I couldn't help but I think about the waitress, reminding me that the chef recommends eating each dish immediately for the best culinary experience. Well, I have a suggestion for the chef- for the best possible culinary experience - I recommend you make sure you don't serve a customer plastic garbage.

The Fish is imported from Japan and delivered on a weekly basis thus each week there is a different menu. My wife and I love treating ourselves to this place a few times a year as a date night. The inside is fairly peaceful and seats around 12 people. It seems that they got a new Chef since the last time I was here however the food was prepared just as well.
