    I got the signature grab hand roll set (5 pieces for $45). The pieces looked small so I also ordered the temaki set to share with another person...I ended up being really full. Food was okay- nothing special. Some flavors were so overpowering that I couldn't enjoy the fish. There was a really sweet one (tastes like strawberry jam) which I found weird and one that was really spicy. The temaki set was kind of soggy and they served all 5 on a plate instead of one by one like the grab hand rolls. Overall, it wasn't bad but wouldn't be my go-to spot for hand rolls.

    We went for the signature grab hand roll set. We also ordered the Hokkaido uni cup and since we went during happy hour, we also tried their crab croquette. The crab croquette was delicious, it came out hot and the filling was melting as you bit into it. The Hokkaido uni cup was very fresh, melt in your mouth, sweet and umami. All signature rolls were very good but the red snapper with plum stood out the most. Since I can't tolerate spiciness they were nice enough to switch the yellowtail jalapeño into yellowtail scallion, which I really appreciated. Once we finished our meals they gave us enough time and did not rush us for the check (like many restaurants in the city usually do). Would really recommend this place for a date!

    Recently dined at this restaurant offering the unique concept of a 'grab handroll' where you pick up sushi with seaweed wraps, and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. First off, the waitress was so pleasant and attentive. She checked up on us frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. Also, the restaurant presented with a clean interior and ample space. I opted for the grab handroll set (5 pcs) which was $38. The entire set was so yummy (mouth is watering right now as I'm writing). The only thing is that the set wasn't that filling, so I ordered an additional roll afterwards. Tldr; This place offers a fun and delicious concept on handrolls, exceptional service, and reasonable prices. Will be back!

    Wow, I was blown away by Maki Kosaka. I saw a post about their Grab Handroll set on Instagram, and the fish looked super high quality, so I decided to give it a try. It is very easy to get a reservation at this spot, which I can understand since the bar area is huge for an omakase-style setup! There are two sections for seating, and I think each could probably seat 20 people. Service was super friendly as well. The Grab Handroll Set ($45) did not disappoint! I loved the concept of giving us a little packet of seaweed-- the seaweed was super crunchy during the entire meal! The fish-to-rice ratio was impressive, and I loved that the quality of the fish wasn't overpowered by their sauce or ingredient pairings. You could also taste the fish's freshness since it is such a large component of the roll. My favorites were the Tuna and Red Snapper, but everything was superb. The price was also great for what you're getting. I will absolutely be back!!

    $45 for 5 hand roll pieces (Grab set). I thought that's the pieces were good, the jalapeño one was too strong for me. The ebi with caviar (last piece) was good and smoky. I was still kind of hungry so you might need to get more pieces.

    Came here last night with a friend and so glad we did! This has probably been one of the best and most attentive sushi restaurants I've been to in this area. We got the signature set. Each hand roll it came with was a 10/10. The staff was so kind and welcomed us for our first time. The ambiance was lightly dimmed and intimate. Perfect for a date night or after work dinner. Definitely coming back since we were in the area. Thanks again Maki staff for a great experience.

    Loved this unique concept (at least new to me) and amazing dining experience! Came here with a friend who had this on her list for a while. We each got the set, and every piece of that set was very delicious. I was full from the set, but she ended up ordering one more so I wouldn't say the set is something that would make you too too full! Service was also very sweet and kept checking up on us because we told her we were on a time crunch! Highly recommend!

    Vibey ambiance; very cute for date night! Staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered the grab handroll set and it's a fun experience as you take out each nori wrapper to pick it up! Each one came out pretty fast but we were still hungry so we ordered a bit more. Absolutely loved the Seared Garlic Botan Ebi. It was the highlight of the night.

    Did the grab hand roll set plus the soft crab hand roll. Also got the edamame with truffle salt. Everything was delicious!!! If you like hand rolls and fresh fish, absolutely check this spot out.

    Came in for a late lunch on the weekend. There was plenty of space still when we walked in maybe an hour until closing for lunch service. Ordered the grab handroll set. They serve the nori in a little baggy. It kept the nori fresh and crispy. Each fish was super fresh. Everything was already macerated, so it was hard to tell if the fish was truly tender or if it was just because they were already mushed. However, there was no fishy taste at all to any of the pieces, a good thing. Everything tasted very clean. The hamachi was the most disappointing though. It's usually my favorite fish, and I can tell it from the taste alone usually. However, this one had a really mild flavor that I was debating which piece it could be. Toro with gobi chips was good because of the textural contrast between the tender fish and crispy chip. All the flavor pairings with each piece was really nice. You could see that they possibly use real wasabi because it didn't look completely like paste. I don't think the set is super filling, but it definitely is a good lighter lunch.

    Overall 5 pieces for $38 are good for a quick lunch. However, the mayonnaise is too heavy on some pieces, other than that it is a good place for quick lunch :)

    I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, but I've been wanting to come to Maki Kosaka for a while, and I could not have had a better first experience. Everything is so fresh and obviously prepared to order, and made quickly directly in front of you. The one thing that kind of stood out above the rest was the fried Seabass, but other than that, I think everything here was delicious and you really can't go wrong with ordering any one singular thing. Definitely make a reservation, and be aware that you will be sitting next to strangers because it is low bar style seating, so this is probably a place I would more so recommend for a meal with just one other person. Will definitely be coming back soon!

    Maki Kosaka serves amazing sushi in a beautiful space, with an approachable menu and demeanor that is friendlier than a formal omakase. Staff are attentive and warm, knowledgeable and friendly. Every seat in the house is excellent, surrounding the sushi chefs' work stations in a modern island bar. Music leans pop, rather than zen instrumental. One of the memorable things about Maki Kosaka is the sushi set up leans toward a "grab hand roll" which are like three bite nigiri that you use a nori wrapper to pick up yourself. It's fun, it allows the sushi presentation to sing before you eat it, and it's a bit faster than one nigiri at a time. Each person probably can eat 6-8 grab hand rolls comfortably. They also do a temaki hand roll, which is more popular with other sushi restaurants. Temaki are a tiny bit bigger. The menu is tight, but very well curated. Standout sushi of the night: Toro with gobi chip - excellent pairing of textures Seared scallop Yellowtail with jalapeno miso Seared garlic botan ebi (shrimp) Hokkaido uni Shishito pepper appetizer had this fantastic glaze I would absolutely eat here again, for a date or friend's celebratory meal. Price point will be similar to other high end sushi places when you include all the add ons.

I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

We shared the crispy artichokes (outstanding) and the cacio e Pepe arancini (where the fried parsley was especially unique and delicious) to start. I had the eggplant parmesan which reminded me of an eggplant dish I had in Venice -- but better. My husband had the ricotta cavatelli which was also great. For dessert I had the olive oil cake accompanied by lemon curd and --wait for it -- rosemary gelato. I was skeptical about this gelato, but it turned out to be a wonderfully fantastic surprise! My husband had the Apple Crostata which was also fantastic. The limoncello was a perfect way to end the meal. I was told by my husband that I can't shave off a star for Chef Tom not being there himself. So, I won't. Fair enough. But I'm still hoping I catch him another time.

The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint.
