Instagram : @yeapeats I originally had Koi Sushi saved on my NYC list, but later realized they recently rebranded to Kimyo Omakase. Glad I still ended up going because this was a great value omakase experience. For $69, you get 15 courses total (12 nigiri, 1 handroll, miso soup, and dessert) plus all-you-can-drink sake or beer, which honestly feels like a steal in NYC. The quality of the fish was surprisingly good for the price, especially the o-toro caviar nigiri, which was one of my favorites of the night. The only downside was the drink situation at the beginning. The server asked if we wanted tap water, sparkling water, or hot tea. Since hot tea is pretty standard at sushi restaurants, we chose tea without thinking much about it, but later found out they charged $4.50 per person and never mentioned there would be an extra charge. Not a huge deal, but it would've been nice if they were upfront about it. Overall though, I'd still say it's very worth it for the price and would recommend it if you're looking for an affordable omakase spot in NYC. read more

I went during their BOGO special and brought a friend with me. The service was well paced, we were out in less than an hour. The interior was very dark but it kept a minimalistic aesthetic. The actual fish was fresh and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I'm not usually a fan of eel because of its micro bones, this eel was soft and succulent and full of flavor. The overall experience was great and I'd def recommend it for hangouts or date nights. read more

Been here twice and the first time was a lil better but still a great experience! From fave to least, based on texture and taste: 1. Salmon w foie gras 2. Torched black cod 3. Chutoro 4. Toro hand roll 5. Torched black snapper w yuzu radish 6. Blue fin tuna with wasabi 7. Sea bass with chilli garlic 8. Yuzu snapper 9. Salmon roe with uni 10. Unagi 11. Amberjack 12. Sea scallop The miso soup was okay, very basic. I also ordered the otoro separately and it was my second fave bite. Not sure if I just missed it but I didn't see any soy sauce or wasabi offered on the side. The chef would explain each piece before serving it but it was very difficult to hear. I see a lot of other reviews with the same issue. read more

So KIMYO Omakase (formerly Koi) has officially become our spot. We've gone about 5 or 6 times now, and every single visit has been a blast. The sushi chefs are kind and easy to talk to, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the fish is ridiculously fresh. Every piece that hits the plate feels like a little celebration. great balance of rice, seasoning, and toppings, nothing throwaway or boring. The room is dark, cozy, and a little chic, so you get that "night out" feel while still being super comfortable. And for what you get? The price is honestly hard to beat in the city. You walk out feeling full, happy, and like you got serious value for your money. This is the place I recommend when friends ask for omakase recs now. read more

Came in with two other friends. It is my first time here, the other friend has been here before and was recommending this spot because their quality was good. We made a reservation about a week prior through resy. We got the $69 15 course, excluding tips. It includes unlimited drinks, which is beer and sake. One of my friends and I don't drink so they substitute with a dish. My favorites out of the 15 courses were the salmon with foie gras, the A5 wagyu with truffle and tuna hand roll. There was a dish where the chef spray gold flakes which was pretty interesting, the gold flakes were still floating around the air after we finished that fish. The quality of all the fish pieces were great for the price! There is also $49 14 courses with no drinks. The seating limit was 75 minutes, we were finished with our courses within 60 mins, the staff made sure we had extra time in case we want to order more pieces after we finished with 15 courses. Overall I did not feel rushed. The vibe on the restaurant was great because we noticed that most of the customers were here to eat before going to a concert. For dessert, we had matcha pudding with red beans. It was just the right size. I would totally come back again! read more

I came here when they were doing the 2 for 1 BOGO omakase deal, which for the price is really solid. I'd give this spot 5 stars for BOGO, and probably only 4 if it was at the normal price. They were also super accommodating when adding an odd number of people to the reservation and only charging half price for them. I was impressed that even at ~$35/pp, they still provided what feels like their full menu - fatty tuna, scallop, uni, etc. I was expecting them to cut back on some of these pieces for a lunch BOGO, but was pleasantly surprised when they kept them in. Overall the ambiance was quite standard as well. I don't know if I'd come back on a normal deal, but for BOGO I think it's pretty unbeatable. read more

Kimyo Omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I revisited this spot when they rebranded to Kimyo and my exp fell flat. Firstly, the outside is a bit confusing bc they kept the original business name. The only distinction was the Kimyo sign on the floor. Otherwise, everything else is the same. The biggest downside of everything was that a lot of the pieces in the course were CHEWY. I'm not sure why - maybe the quality isn't what it used to be or the fish had been a few days, but that tainted my exp this time around. However, the chef was great and the staff were attentive. While it's a good deal, I probably wouldn't come back due to the quality of the pieces. read more

This is my second time here and I'm pleasantly surprised again! Last time I came for the grand opening bogo deal and now they have an anniversary bogo deal until September 1st. There's some slight differences: last time there was a dessert course and also unlimited sake. I wasn't sure about coming again because despite the great price point, I definitely had better quality omakase elsewhere. But alas, I couldn't resist a good deal especially for my birthday. And I'm so glad I came again! We got last minute reservations for 9pm on a Sunday. If you have a reservation for 3 people, the third person has half off. The ambiance is really nice, it's very casual. It doesn't feel stuffy, it feels like you can chat comfortably and just have a good time. I would say it's a pretty casual omakase experience not a fine dining type of experience. The sushi pieces were still smaller than other places but I feel like it was a good amount of food. I left feeling quite stuffed but granted I didn't arrive hungry. There was one piece that was a little fishy for me but overall, the pieces were quite good. I enjoyed the salmon with the foie gras and the sweet shrimp with uni. Also, they were so sweet with the birthday scoop of ice cream. Nothing fancy but it feels nice to be celebrated. They sang happy birthday and lit a candle on a scoop of matcha ice cream. Overall: I had a great second time. I would definitely recommend coming to check out the bogo deal before it ends. It's really unbeatable for the price point. read more

I didn't have high expectations for this place as I tried it before when it was Koi Omakase, but my friend won a giveaway so I was willing to give it a second chance. Just to note, they have not changed their sign from Koi to Kimyo yet, so look for the Koi Omakase sign! Our sushi chef served 4 of us and was quick and kept track of the pieces well since we were at different stages. I am happy to say that Kimyo is much better than Koi. At the prior place, the pieces were a little boring and didn't taste as fresh. Now they serve the pieces with more flavorful toppings, I especially liked the yuzu pepper, chili garlic, and pickled wasabi. The $49 for the 14 course omakase that included 12 pieces nigiri, 1 hand roll, and 1 miso soup, it was well worth it! read more

Ordered: 13-course Omakase (complimentary; regular price ~$69 BOGO deal): 11 nigiri pieces, 1 hand roll, 1 miso soup Aya's take: I love omakase and Koi is offering one of the best deals you can get now! Normally, ~$69 per person but until September 1st, it's ~$69 for 2 people! Thankfully I won a giveaway and was excited to give them a try. If you're looking for fancy omakase with exceptionally high quality fish, this is not the place for you. I would say it's a beginner or more casual omakase experience. Of the 11 nigiri pieces, I really enjoyed the King Salmon Foie Gras, Otoro Caviar, Botan Ebi Uni, Hotate (scallop), and Unagi (eel). The rest were fine but majority of the pieces were white fish so I didn't find them to be exciting or unique. Check them out before September 1st to get the best deal! read more

For the bogo deal this is worth it. I do think they are more geared towards the Americanized palate. A lot of the sushi at times just had too much wasabi and the same goes for too much soy sauce. The fish was ok but I didn't feel like we had knockouts until half way through. The service is fine, they're pretty attentive with drinks. The Toro with caviar was my favorite and that number 6 of the 13 courses, including the miso soup. I was pleasantly surprised with the miso soup. It was prawn based and it was delicious. For other omakases I've had in the past they've just felt more intimate and I've enjoyed it more when they let the fish speak for the dish, instead of overpowering it with wasabi or soy sauce. read more

BOGO omakase so $69 plus tax and tip for two people - can't complain at all. I'd honestly come back for the shrimp miso soup alone. The shrimp flavor was amazing and a great addition to the omakase. Each piece was fresh and my favorite was the mackerel. This is a casual omakase spot where they're trying to get you in and out in an hour and are super efficient with serving you the food. Do not expect a traditional omakase experience, although you really shouldn't for the price point. Great to come with a group of friends as there's tons of seating. read more

Came here for the bogo deal with a group of 3 at 9pm on a Sunday. We were seated prompted at 9 and the whole experience was about 45 minutes. Since the place was just a single long rectangular counter, it felt very casual. It did not feel stuffy not squished when seated. Although, everyone was close, it was not too loud, so you can have a conversation and hear the chef's description of their courses. There are multiple chefs at their own stations around the table. Ours asked if we had any preferences or whether we were ok with wasabi. Although it was only 13 servings, this was enough to leave your stomach happy. I loved each serving. read more

From now until September 1st, Koi Omakase is doing a BOGO deal and it's so worth it! I came for dinner with one of my girl friends and we had a great time. The interior of the omakase spot is casual, a bit more upbeat/louder, and the bar is a giant U-shape (which was interesting, because I ended up sitting across from people I knew and it felt like I was watching them or something LOL). Service here is nice, attentive to water, and quick. Note, that because it is a BOGO omakase and you are reserved for 1-hr seatings, they do go by a bit fast. This 13-course omakase features your classics, such as toro, unagi, and scallop, but some of my unique favorites were their miso with shrimp, sea bass with chili oil, and salmon with foie gras and truffle salt. All of their cuts were pretty good, the portions left me feeling full, and the taste was great for the price you're paying. Would highly recommend to check this spot out before their BOGO deal ends! read more

Dropped by for their bogo deal 2 for $69 and honestly it was only worth the visit because of the deal. Fish was not the freshest and rice was heavily seasoned causing it to fall apart. Some pieces were better than others with the memorable ones being salmon topped with foie gras, hamachi, and sawara. Pieces were also on the smaller side. Left feeling hungry still. read more

Decided to try this place after seeing their BOGO deal for $69 and left disappointed. The price is amazing, $34.50 for 11 pieces, a handroll and a miso soup. However, the quality, taste and portions left me unsatisfied. The pieces were very small, understandable for the price, but the fish was not the freshest. The piece I liked the most was the scallop. As for the customer service, minimal chef to customer interaction. If you want a good deal, yeah this is for you. The deal is available until September 1st 2025. If you are looking for good sushi, I would not recommend. read more

First of all, I loved the ambiance as we walked in. It was REALLY spacious, with the big main rectangular table in the middle. However, I never saw an omakase place not fully seated so I thought that was interesting. For only $69 in 75min seating, you can get 18-courses which includes 15 nigiri, miso soup, temaki hand roll, a matcha ice cream with red bean, and unlimited sake/beer from the limited menu. Service was just okay; we got our miso soup but then literally 2 minutes later they made another round asking if we were done and could take it away. There was still a lot of miso soup left which I was a bit confused about.. you could take a quick look and see that I was not finished. Since it is a lot of courses for only 75 minutes, I feel like things were just rushed and the pieces were not carefully made. Sometimes I had to also ask the chef what the piece was b/c he would speak so quietly/rushed and so I was not able to catch the name of the piece. There's a lot of YUZU pieces!! So if you do not like yuzu, I would not recommend coming here. They also have one piece that has chili oil crisp on it, which was pretty interesting but was too overpowering that we could not taste the fish. None of the pieces "wow'ed" us, which was pretty disappointing as we always have a piece or two that we really like when we go to omakase. Many of the pieces felt like the seasoning was too overpowering or the fish wasn't fresh, which was also disappointing as well. As someone who has been to numerous affordable omakase places in NYC, I would have to rank this place somewhere in the bottom b/c we didn't leave feeling pleased/content about this omakase experience. read more

Fantastic Omakase and right now from 6/1-9/1 go and take advantage of Koi's BOGO deal. $69 for two to enjoy 13 courses is unheard of in NY. Everything served is fresh and flavorful. Staff is quite attentive and it's simply a great inexpensive experience. read more

Visited twice for 2 separate promotions. Most recently came for the bogo summer deal, which came out to around $44 per person for 13 course omakase. The cuts are pretty standard for an omakase in this price range, with the salmon foie gras and ebi uni being our favorites. The sea bass chili was the most unique dish of the night, and the cod was also a runner up. The seating lasts a little less than an hour, and starts on time. read more

I dined here during the $69 Buy one get one free omakase deal. I enjoyed 4/13 of the courses served, so I'd say the quality was pretty mediocre (ex: temperature of the fish is lukewarm/room temperature, some courses even had mushy texture, too much wasabi in some pieces). I get there will be a faster churn than average, which in this city it's already super quick. I timed it: from the time we were seated to the time we took our last bite, it was 37 minutes. They boot people out even earlier than the top of the hour from the start of the reservation. I love a good deal, but in hindsight, it's more worth it to pay a bigger price at a different spot for a more enjoyable omakase experience. read more

Great omakase but expensive. The vibes and decor are a little more sake/party bar than upscale, personal omakase. The Salmon Foie Gras and Cod were my favorite pieces. We both got the $49 Omakase Without Drinks deal but were still hungry after, so we added two extra pieces after. The total after tip ended up being $190. read more

Had a reservation Saturday for lunch omakase after we heard about the BOGO deal ($69 for two people). Koi Omakase is a big space and felt a lot more casual than other omakase spots. We came exactly at 2pm but didn't get seated until 2:10 because they were still setting up. As a result, the experience felt very rushed; a lot of times I would have two pieces on my plate. The actual sushi pieces were just okay. The rice was seasoned well but the fish tasted significantly lower quality than usual. I also felt that the pieces were really small. I did, however, like the miso soup they gave us on the side. Our sushi chef was also kind of anti-social and not really welcoming. Overall, the experience felt sub-par. At $35 per person I wasn't completely disappointed but I probably wouldn't pay full price for the same experience. read more

Quality: 7/10 not sure if they are cutting corners because of their BOGO but the pieces were underwhelming and all the fish were lukewarm. The pieces either were either bland or overpowered with wasabi Variety: 7/10 there weren't really standout pieces, just all the typical fish you would see at any omakase. Kind of upset that their miso soup counted as one of the 13 pieces Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 super large space to fit almost 20 people, but this also took away from the experience. The chefs were working nonstop and had little to no time to engage with you Service: 9/10 they frequently refilled my water, even my ginger without asking, but this place almost felt like a factory with the way they operated Price: $45/person not including tax for the BOGO 13-course special going on right now read more

This place was pretty good. I came for a omakase tasting that I won from their Instagram. It was 13 pieces sushi pieces and one miso soup cup. Everyone was delicious but the unagi and wagyu were my favorite. The experience lasted about an hour ad went by quick. I was satisfied at the end of the meal though not full. After the tasting you can buy additional pieces for $5 each but i opted not to. There were about 10 people per tasting and 2 sushi chefs. This was a super interesting experience. The sushi i tasted are as following: 1. Shima aji 2. Yellow tail 3. Sawara (Spanish mackerel) 4. Sable fish (black cod) 5. Miso soup 6. Suzuki (sea bass) 7. Bluefin tuna 8. Otoro caviar 9. Hotate (sea scallop) 10. Abi and uni (shrimp and sea urchin) 11. Salmon and foie gras (buttery and delicious) 12. A5 wagyu (topped with truffle) 13. Unagi (bbq eel) (soft tender, butter smooth, melt in your mouth) 14. Toro handroll read more

Koi (now Kyomi) omakase was absolutely amazing. Currently offering a crazy deal for their 14 course omakase, there's nothing not to love about it. The meal comes with miso soup as well. The servers are quite quick to get drinks as well and once seated, the food starts to come. The restaurant itself is quite dark but that's okay and the only seating is at the sushi counter which is nice. The sea bass, hand roll, uni and eel were our favorites and we got extras of those. Will definitely be back read more

We came for dinner during their BOGO special. It was a full house and service was very efficient. Our experience was ~45 min in total, by the time we finished there were already people waiting for the next round of seating reservations.

This was my first omakase experience and I was pretty happy overall. read more

Came a while back when they had a BOGO deal and it was pretty good! The food came out at a good pace and the fish was quite fresh. Left feeling pretty decently full.

Instagram strikes again! I saw a reel about Koi Omakase is doing a BOGO omakase deal from June 1st to September 1st for their 2nd anniversary and immediately was on board. It's $69 for a 13 course omakase, so about $70 for 2 people before tip and tax. It's a 60 minute seating, so it's definitely a wham, bam, thank you ma'am kind of omakase. After you finish your meal, they do give you the option of adding on any extra pieces. We were actually quite full from the 13 courses and didn't add any extra. I felt like the fish was pretty varied - a few things that I've never had before and also a bunch that I have had. Highlights included the fatty tuna with caviar, fatty salmon with foie gras, and the scallop. You also get a piece with a bit of uni! For the price point, it can't be beat. read more

Great quality sushi at an affordable price point! Came on a Friday evening and was seated right away. All of the pieces tasted fresh and were not fishy at all. I liked the toppings on a lot of the seared white fishes, ranged from crunchy chili crisp to citrusy sauces and caviar. The combination of wagyu and toro in a handroll was new to me, used to it being only toro with other mixins. I loved the char on the wagyu pieces but wished they were kept separate, maybe top half fully wagyu, bottom half just the toro. Overall great experience seeing the chef prep each piece at the bar. Recommend trying this place if you haven't! Convenient location right by Atlantic Ave/Barclays Center, great for pre or after show dinners. read more

Kimyo Omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is one of those omakases that are affordable and won't cost you over 100 per person. The sushi chef didn't speak much English but I did make out what we were eating. Great service, decent rice, fresh fish. Cost of 1 person was $70 i believe, not 100% sure. They had a BOGO deal that I didnt take advantage of. I would recommend for anyone who wants to try omakase but not spend $145 a person. This is a good starter to see if you like different types of sushi. Other than salmon and tuna. Went on a Thursday night and the bar was filled about 50%-60%. I probably wouldn't come back but again, but if you don't want to spend over $150 bucks then try this first. Then decide if you like it and want to go bigger! Hope this helps! read more

My sister and I absolutely had to try Kimyo/KOI Omakase for the incredible limited time BOGO deal for $69 omakase with 13 courses. What a deal! I hope they can bring it back in the future. We booked in advance on RESY and arrived as soon as they were opening. They were still opening up, so we sat a while in the waiting area. It's a very modern, clean stylish atmosphere, essentially one room with the sushi bar surrounding the preparation area in the center. Bar stools with a back, and sparse purse hooks under the counter. As soon as we were seated, we were given water, a moist towelette, chopsticks, and ginger. The sushi chef asked everyone in our party if we wanted wasabi -- I asked for none in mine and they were very accomodating. I had never experienced omakase before, so it was genuinely exciting to watch the chefs expertly prepare the course in front of you. Fresh fish, unique flavors and textures, paired perfectly with the other ingredients. They were all very professional and efficient, and announced the courses to us as they came. Here are the courses listed out: 1. sea bream with yuzu spritz 2. yellowtail 3. sea bass with chili crisp 4. spanish mackerel with ponzu radish 5. charred black cod yuzu 6. bluefin tuna with pickled wasabi 7. fatty tuna with caviar 8. sea scallop 9. miso soup with shrimp head 10. shrimp with uni 11. charred salmon with foie gras 12. unagi 13. toro hand roll My highlights were the yellowtail, bluefin tuna, and unagi, but there wasn't a single bad one. The fish was all fresh and delicious, and the pairings went well! A couple thoughts I had -- couldn't taste or feel the caviar at all, it must have been so soft and instantly melted? And the charred salmon with foie gras was so buttery and fatty and rich -- I loved it but some were not fans. The unagi and toro hand rolls were made one at a time and given directly to us, (probably to preserve the heat for the unagi, and the seaweed crispness for the roll) where all the other courses were prepared in total and then handed out. I didn't leave super full, but I definitely wasn't hungry after -- 12 pieces of sushi is a good amount! All in all, I'd totally recommend! I'd go again if they had a similar deal in the future. As a student, I probably wouldn't spend my money on the regular prices, but if you have an income, go for it! I had a great experience. read more

3.5 stars based on the promo experience alone. Came to Koi Omakase recently for their 2nd anniversary special $69 13-course BOGO deal, happening until September 1st. It's a 60-min seating, but it's more like 45 mins. Because of the promo, it's a full house. It's a big restaurant with a huge counter bar and seats a good 30 people at once. Don't be late because from the moment you arrive til the 60 mins are up, the whole experience feels pretty rushed and hectic, especially for the servers and chefs. I noticed for those who are late, the chef just leave your sushi pieces on your plate so when you arrive, your sushi is already sitting in front of you waiting (this is pretty unusual for an omakase). I guess they're pressured to stay on time to make sure everyone gets their complete course in an hour's time and rush you out before the next hour's seating begins. It's not ideal for a date since the whole experience is pretty rushed so this is not the place to sit and chit chat for hours. The 13-course consists of 1 shrimp miso soup, 11 nigiris, and 1 hand roll. The shrimp miso soup was a bit too salty and the tuna hand roll was just OK. The nigiris were good and some of the pieces/toppings were pretty basic/standard. The standout pieces for me were the toro with caviar, sweet shrimp with uni, and king salmon with foie gras. Overall, this is a great deal for an omakase experience but probably won't return for their standard omakase. There are better omakases in the neighborhood. While I enjoyed all the sushi, I had to knock off a few stars for the overall experience. After September 1st, Koi Omakase is rebranding and changing their name to KIMYO Omakase with a new promo, which might be worth checking out. Looks like they're keeping their pricing more affordable than other omakase. read more

Budget friendly omakase spot in Brooklyn. $68 for 18 courses and unlimited sake! You have 75 minutes so it was quite fast paced. It was relatively easy to get a reservation. Very chill omakase spot for casual catch up with friends. The interior was quite dark inside. Fishes were pretty fresh. The rice was a little too sticky and soft. I wasn't amazed by it but the omakase did get progressively better. The chefs tells you the name of the fish and that's about it but understandable since they only have 75 minutes for 18 courses. Definitely worth checking out if you're around the area or looking for a budget friendly omakase. read more
