This place is in one fulton square surrounded by top notch restaurants. They do a great job fitting in with their neighbors. There are 18 seats at the sushi bar with a couple of sushi chefs and couple of wait staff. We lucked out and came in a time slot in which the three in my party had one chef all to ourselves. The food was excellent as expected and the sake was kept cold in a cool dispenser. We appreciated the banter with the sushi chef and had a fun time. We will be back to bring other people. read more

Omi Omakase features fresh fish from Japan and delivers an exceptional premium omakase at an impressive $159 per guest. Highlights included the Toro Nigiri with caviar and gold (my favorite), Kegani with Hokkaido uni and jelly, and abalone with egg custard (Mushimono), with each piece showcasing a perfect rice-to-fish ratio. Chef Ben was creative, attentive and elevated select cuts using a Himalayan salt board, adding both depth and subtle theatrics. The intimate Chef's counter/bar seating created an engaging, front-row experience that made every course unique. While Chef Ben and hostess Jenny provided us a warm, seamless service that made a memorable omakase date night in Flushing, Queens. read more

4.5 stars for the $69 lunch omakase set Hard to find such a well-priced omakase that also impresses in quality and quantity AND minus a trek to the city. The vibe of the restaurant is very zen. We sat at the bar but the tatami rooms also look like a vibey intimate experience. The nigiri came with giant pieces of fish - I was most pleasantly surprised at the huge piece of fatty tuna, and the chef shooting the edible gold flakes on the fish in front of each person was a nice interactive touch. My other favorite pieces were the salmon topped with fois gras (the seasoning on that fois gras made it a roller coaster of flavors) and the sweet shrimp topped with many pieces of uni - not fishy at all and super creamy. Yum! There was one chef serving about 8 or 9 of us and while he was conversing with many of the other guests in Chinese, I wish we also got asked about our wasabi or rice preference. But i don't think we spoke at all. Still, I would definitely recommend for their lunch and am looking forward to coming back to try the dinner omakase. read more

pretty authentic experience and excellent lunch omakase menu and price. The chefs are professional and clean and introduced each course when requested. Each piece was very flavorful and had a unique flair. Would come back again and maybe book the room. Also loved that the ginger were cubes not the regular slices. read more

I personally think that this omakase spot is fantastic, better than a lot of the recent slew of omakase spots that opened in Manhattan. But don't expect it to be Michelin quality, because it ain't that either. For the price of $109 for 16 pieces is very reasonable. This spot is located on the top level of the One Fulton Plaza, so take that elevator to the top level (or climb several flights of stairs). The interior is done quite nice, which makes this a great date night spot or just to get together with your friends. There was a group of women before our reservation that killed several sake bottles and looked like they had the best of times. There was a handful of classic pieces and then there were some unique ones that I have never been served at an omakase before, which is great to see. At a lot of omakase spots, the chef had the fishes precut and just slap the rice, seasoning, and garnish, but here, they cut each fish (or wagyu) fresh from the block in front of you. The sushi chef himself was personable and great to interact with. The business owner was also around and gave out some free shots of sake to try, which was some of the smoothest sake I've had. Only complaint here is that both of the bathrooms were backed up and did not flush. Will save you the disgusting details. I hope they got those issues solved by now. read more

Delicious upscale Omakase restaurant in Flushing! We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and had a great time. The restaurant is designed very well and has great aesthetics. Similar to the design of great omakase restaurants in Manhattan. We had 2 options to choose from between the 16 course omakase for $109 vs the 15 course premium omakase for $159. Although the more expensive option has less pieces, they are supposed to be more premium ingredients. Nevertheless, we went with the $109 option because still a lot of the premium pieces like Toro w/ Caviar and A5 Wagyu and Sweet Shimp with Uni. We were not disappointed! My favorite piece was the Toro w/ Caviar, and I got another one a la carte afterwards to finish off my meal prior to dessert. The dessert was match ice-cream with mochi and mango, and it was delish! The servers were very attentive and kept the table clean and the drinks topped off. The omakase chef was very friendly and we enjoyed a nice conversation with him. He also was able to make accommodations if you had allergies, or wanted to adjust the taste. I would definitely recommend this place, and I would come back for sure. Not sure if I would try the premium menu since I thought the $109 option was already really good. So glad we found such a good omakase place without having to travel into the city. read more

No need to trek to the East Village for great omakase anymore--this spot brings that same quality right to Queens. The seating wraps around the chef so everyone gets seated at the chef's table. Every piece was beautifully constructed --so delicious! Great for a date night read more

Omi omakase had such a nice ambiance - definitely more upscale and a place you would want to bring a date or for an anniversary! It reminded me of omakase places that you would go to in Japan! The crab was super fresh and sweet! The jelly sauce was such a nice compliment to the sweet crab! Chawanmushi was sooo delicious! It's light and fluffy and has a hint of truffle oil and is delicious! Their salmon with foie gras was also delicious!! It's so buttery and creamy! The tuna with truffle was also divine! I am usually not a fan of tuna because of the fishy taste, but I would highly recommend the tuna with truffle! The ginger is also surprisingly tasty! It's not like other stores' ginger The scallop from hokkaido is delicious! It's so soft and tender and also tastes so sweet - it brings me back to Japan! The shrimp and uni was also delicious! The shrimp and uni both were naturally sweet and not fishy at all! The uni melts in your mouth! There's finally a great omakase place in flushing! The handroll was also a burst of flavors and tasted amazing! The omakase chef also has 30 years of experience and it shows through his skill! read more

Made a reservation for lunch on a weekday since it tends to get pretty crowded for the dinner slots. The chef was very knowledgeable and friendly and never hesitated to answer any questions we had regarding the fish. They had a set amount of courses and each one was very tasty and fresh. They have a drink menu as well that had lots of options. The yuzu sake was sweet without tasting too strong. The interior is nicely decorated with that minimalistic look while also making it feel cozy. read more

This is a restaurant deserving of repeat. Little bit of a hole in the wall. Opened only 8 months ago. Food is FRESHHHHHH! Chef was attentive. Lunch is $69 and $109 for dinner tasting course. They also have 5 private tatami rooms as well. Food is center stage and on point! Ambiance is mellow, soft music in the background. Can't wait to go back and try dinner service. Gonna bring others! read more

$159pp The set feels very safe and doesn't try to be experimental. I feel betrayed by all the 5 stars reviews. If I can return back in time, I would have chosen the $109pp instead. Sushi OK.

Cuisine: 3 Service: 5 Decor: 8 Value: 4 Overall: 4 I hate to be bearer of bad news, especially because I was holding onto real hope that this restaurant would truly give me a top notch sushi omakase experience without going into Manhattan. Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscience recommend this new contender for best sushi in Queens. Nowadays, sushi omakase is dime a dozen. They all follow the same successful formula and opened by Fukinese immigrants who learned from other Japanese restaurants before opening their own. The trickle down effect leaves us with a bunch of unqualified "sushi chefs" serving one of the most expensive meals on average in the city. Sadly, this restaurant falls into that category. What most sushi connoisseurs appreciate more than anything else is good quality rice that accentuate the best seafood the chefs can source. The moment I tasted the rice here frightened me of the meal I was about to experience. I don't know who made the rice, but they need to re-evaluate their process immediately. It was hard, cold, lacked acidity, and all around sucked. I am not trying to be mean, but I hope the restaurant reads this review and improve upon the most important part of sushi. As for the other aspects, the fish often was served a bit too chilled, and almost always too dressed. For example, the Hokkaido Scallop didn't need plum sauce, yuzu zest, and truffle salt. When it came to the most desirable ingredients of the night, wagyu was cut too thin and over charred with the blowtorch, while the uni was not the best quality. I wanted to tale a picture of the box of uni, but the chef said it doesn't look very nice and was too watery due to likely poor transportation. I do want to mention that Chef Lok (from Malaysia, worked at Masa for 6 months) was maybe one of the only delightful part of the meal. He was friendly and funny, while the servers were a bit lackadaisical with simple tasks like keeping the tea cups filled. Also, the decor was quite nice, with many private spaces/rooms for larger groups. Btw, $109 is not crazy expensive, but this same meal could be had in Manhattan at many locations for less, not to mention better. In the end, I truly wish Omi Omakase was the sushi heaven in Queens that I have been searching for. Unfortunately, it just simply wasn't what I prayed for. read more

Met up with friends for an omakase lunch. I didn't like the first dish -- my oyster and conch didn't taste as fresh, although my two friends said theirs were fine. Overall, it wasn't too bad for the price: 12 pieces for $69 per person. The service was great, and the head chef was very friendly and talkative. However, the rice was a bit loose, and a couple of pieces fell apart. read more

Been here twice and will probably return again. It's one of the better omakase I've had, definitely the top 5. I love that they offer a good omakase without having to go to Manhattan. Each piece was unique and the variety was delightful. I don't care for the gold sparkles but I think it's innovative to offer it for people to post about. Ambience was cozy and relaxed, servers were attentive, chefs don't use too many interactions with us other than introducing the piece but that's our preference anyway so I'd say they read the room right. read more

Leading up to my reservation at Omi, I had high hopes that Flushing was finally getting a top-notch Omakase spot. Sadly, I left feeling more let down than a kid whose ice cream just hit the pavement. Here's why: The venue was charming, and the décor screamed "date night perfection." But despite the ambiance, the experience fell flat. At $109 for a 16-course Omakase dinner, the price was on par with Manhattan, but the service and quality were more "meh" than marvelous. The sushi, while edible, was largely forgettable, mainly because four of the courses were obliterated by an overzealous wasabi attack. We usually expect a gentle wasabi burn, but this was more like a wasabi smack in the face. When we asked about it, we were told it was the chef's standard prep. Apparently, the chef would have made us new pieces sans wasabi bomb if we hadn't already eaten them (we typically one bite our sushi). So, we were supposed to spit out the sushi upon realizing the wasabi overload? Our taste buds simply couldn't recover!!! The other twelve courses were a mixed bag, with some highlights like the toro and dessert, and others that were just... there. To add to the chaos, the staff's organizational skills were lacking. Despite our reservation for a private room, we were seated at the sushi bar. I had to whip out my reservation receipt like a magic trick to get our private room. At this price, we expected better food and service. Unfortunately, both were as absent as a cat at a dog show. read more

Omi Omakase - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flushing, New York

The meal was simply unremarkable. The meal started out with what seemed like mass produced appetizer made in an assembly line. Then each sushi followed didn't quite hit the mark. They lacked the right temperature of rice and fish combo. The additions, such as foie gras or truffles, although expensive, didn't enhance the fish. The ambience and service were meant to be posh and upscale, seemed forced and lacked warmth. The chefs and restaurant have rooms to grow. read more

Omi Omakase just opened in Flushing, and it's already one of the best hidden gems I've tried recently. The atmosphere is quiet, minimal, and very calming--perfect for focusing on the food. The meal starts with a Kumamoto oyster topped with quail egg, scallion, salmon roe, and a yuzu jelly at the bottom. You mix it together before eating, and the freshness really wakes up your palate. Next was the chawanmushi with white truffle, cherry sweet shrimp, and bottarga powder--smooth, fragrant, and layered with umami. Then came the deep-sea Greeneye fish, clean and tender with no fishiness at all. From there, the progression of dishes felt very thoughtful: * Kanpachi or madai sashimi, very fresh and delicate * Tuna with truffle, luxurious and aromatic * Shima aji, toro with caviar, kinmedai * Ocean trout with foie gras (a bold surf-and-turf bite) * Sawara or squid, Hokkaido scallop, Miyazaki A5 wagyu with truffle salt * Sweet shrimp with Hokkaido uni, grilled eel The highlights for me were definitely the wagyu and the toro handroll with ikura--rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. Dessert was a light cheesecake, a perfect way to finish. The full omakase is 16 courses for $109, which is honestly a fantastic value considering the quality of ingredients (truffle, foie gras, wagyu, uni, caviar). Overall, Omi Omakase feels refined yet approachable, with a well-paced menu that builds flavor gradually. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Flushing and looking for a high-quality sushi experience. read more

Went here for the lunch omakase (12 pieces for $69). All of the pieces were delicious and on par with other popular places in Manhattan like Sushi by M or Sushi by Lin (my other favorites).

Had a very pleasant dining experience at Omi Omakase. It was my first time visiting. The space was modern yet warm and inviting. We had the 16 course Omakase for $109 which included oyster shooter, toro, sea scallop and wagyu. The miso cod was particularly memorable. Ben who was behind the counter was attentive and made our dining experience that much better. It was well worth the cost of $109 and beyond. I will be back very soon! read more
