This was a super enjoyable omakase experience. I came for lunch with a friend and got the deluxe set (standard is $49 + $10 for wagyu course). The fish was all delicious and all had some kind of unique topping, and some were also torched. Each piece was truly one bite and I preferred this to the bigger nigiri that eats more messily. Typically at sushi places I stick to salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, so I had some reservations about whether I would like everything, but really everything was tasty. Some of my favorites were the appetizer yuzu yellowtail with microgreens, and then amberjack (who knew!). The wagyu had a truffle topping and it was a great piece but I am not sure it was necessary and next time would probably just opt for the standard classic set. The waitress was very friendly and the chefs checked in throughout the meal and seemed to care that we were enjoying the nigiri. A few times we were asked if we wanted add on ons (drinks, and then sushi add ons later). I would have preferred if the menu was just maybe left without explicit solicitations to order more. But other than that not sure anything could have been better. The restaurant is simple, understated, and minimalist. Though right on a busy street the outside is so narrow and understated that it would be easy to walk by every day and miss this place. Would highly recommend for an extremely good and reasonably priced omakase experience. read more

We made reservations for the lunch omakase (got the one with Wagyu so it was about $59) - there is a $10 add lunch special if you get a beer or sake (my husband got the orion beer). There were around 9 courses and then we got the waygu piece bc we picked the $58 omakase - otherwise it is $49 for the 9 pieces. I think there are other places that def give you more pieces for the price. The appetizer was monkfish liver with some salad - the monkfish liver was okay - def needed the sauce otherwise it would have been dry. I enjoyed the king salmon and otoro pieces. Overall I think the fish could have been fresher. Staff was very friendly and attentive! read more

Excellent quality sushi with excellent friendly service. Menu changes every 3 months, just as Tokyo Omakases. A special place we have enjoyed twice and we have a 3 visit scheduled. Arrive on time! 13 seats; each course is served to everyone at nearly the same time, although some guests seem to slow down without causing delays for their fellows. read more

We came here to celebrate the end of our project dinner, i was so gagged!!! Every piece was rlly delicious. I was having a GREAT time drinking sake w it.

Excellent omakase provided here. SO and I had dinner here a few weeks ago. Everything was tasty and fresh! Bottom line, the food and service were excellent. Be on time! read more

One Bite is probably one of our favorite omakase restaurants on the UWS, still. But we can't be as gung ho about it as we were when it first opened. The attention to rice has diminished precipitously. Temperature, compression and seasoning are not attended to with the same care as it was when the place first opened. It's not at all bad for a mid-tier restaurant -- just not excellent as it once was. At a recent lunch and dinner, shari (sushi rice) was too cold -- cooler than room temperature -- and overly compressed. It did not dissolve upon contact the tongue as it ought. (I like to eat nigiri sideways in these cases.) At recent omakse meals, there were far more pieces that were heavily Americanized than there used to be (think salmon with aoli). I know a lot of customers probably like this stuff, but traditionalists may not and should take note. This is a placeholder to remind me to add more detail later! read more

The cost of the omakase was okay for the fish that we got. The chef was really nice and polite. The waitress was also really friendly. However, I only gave this 4 stars before I did have to look around for the waitress to ask for more water. But overall it was a good experience. read more

Solid lunch omakase that hits the sweet spot for quality and portion size. The New Zealand king salmon was exceptional. Everything felt notably fresh; you'll leave satisfied but not uncomfortably full. Good value for the quality, especially at lunch pricing. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

Stopped by this place because of the good reviews! First impression, sushi chefs are going through pre-cut fish on a board and throwing various pieces off to the side. Not a great sign. Nomz: Started with the trio starter - found a fish bone in one of them. If you know sushi - that's a very bad sign and was a turnoff to us. Rice ratio was off in the nigiri - very inconsistent from piece to piece. Lots and lots of torching happening at this place - which as a purist - always makes me die a little inside. Drinks: Tried two sakes - loved the sake carafe - super modern and practical. Service: Chefs didn't engage much - which is fine just noting it. Overall, felt disorganized from the beginning and that set the mood. Ambiance: Small, but typical for these sushi spots popping up. Nope or Dope: Nope, lots of misses at this place. Maybe it's up to par for the UWS but coming from east village there are plenty of better options at this price point. read more

The chokehold this place has on me is unreal. I've been here 4 times in the last 6 months, most recently last night, and I'm already trying to come up with another excuse to come back. It's a cute little place with limited seating so I'd recommend making a reservation. The staff! Everyone is genuinely SO NICE and so ready to make your experience special. Last month, I came for my birthday, my party of 6 was loud and crazy (the sake was flowing! I'm sorry, I feel so bad!), and the staff just vibed with us. The chef made us a special piece and blew gold dust all over it, and then they turned on a rap song super loud when bringing out my cake. It was a Monday. It was amazing. And the food, good lord, the food! This is one of the best omakase experiences I've had, and I've been all over the world, including Japan. Every piece is delicious. The little toppings and sauces are well thought out. I'm not a fancy food critic so I can't describe it all properly but please believe me when I tell you everything was YUMMY and well worth the price of admission. Highly, highly recommend. Definitely one of my favorite spots on the UWS. read more

I went for lunch. The sushi is exceptional, especially at its price point. The menu is minimalist: 2 options and some optional a la carte extras at the end. The restaurant is tiny, fitting maybe a dozen people at the chef's table. Will return. read more

Enjoy the delicious lunch here, great value for the quality of the Omakase. The fish was so good, not a single bad bite. They make their own homemade ginger in house. I don't usually like ginger, but I really loved their cubed ginger. I added on the Uni and it was perfect. Can't wait to go again. read more

Echoing all the other reviews by saying this was one of the best meals I've ever had as well! The fish was amazing, the RICE was amazing. You hear about sushi chefs having to train for years to get the rice right. Until now I haven't quite understood why that would be, but NOW I DO. Going forth I probably won't be able to enjoy "regular" sushi again. Service was extraordinary; there were 3 sushi chefs serving a full house (12 seats I believe?) with one of the chefs serving only my party of three. The host was fully present as well but not obtrusive to make sure we were taken care of. Seating is just at the sushi counter, but you don't feel crowded. It was an unforgettable meal and one I look forward to enjoying again. read more

Insane. One of the best meals I've had in my life and amazing service. Came for my birthday and had a great time. Very cozy vibe.

Hands down the best omakase on the UWS. We have been probably 5 times and each time it's exceptional. Amazing food, great sake options, and it is SO reasonably priced. It's intimate sushi counter seating makes it perfect for a date, but it's so relaxed and inviting it's a place you can frequent without having to wait solely for special events. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Awesome lunch omakase! $50/person for 9 pieces (including a small app and hand roll). It's very close to the American Natural History Museum. It's easy to get a lunch resy at the 10 (12?) seater counter. The space is limited but is well decorated. The waiter and chef provided excellent service in the small space. Each peace had a unique texture or flavor. I especially loved the Hokkaido Scallop, and Otoro. They even had amberjack and mackerel. I usually don't love mackerel but this one was so smooth. Their homemade ginger cubes really helped cleanse between pieces. read more

One Bite Omakase - Lunch omakase $50pp - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Was craving sushi after spending all day at AMNH. Found this place with great reviews and decided to give it a try. True omakase restaurant, they just have one menu and the set depends on lunch or dinner timing. The service as soon as you enter is great. There is just the sushi bar to sit at so very limited seating. I was glad to be seated as soon as I walked in. I did see that a lot of people had reservations. They personalized the reserved sign at the bar with the person's name which I thought was a nice personal touch. The chefs were friendly and efficient. They made, played and served each dish and explained what it was. It's quite intimate and fun. Each bite was better than the last. My favorite was the A5 Wagyu topped with uni, followed by kanpachi and then scallop. They were all delicious really. Right before the set is completed, they ask if you'd like anything a la carte. I did the kanpachi and Wagyu/uni. I asked the server for a semi-sweet recommendation for sake and they recommended Hyakumoku which paired well with the meal. It also went down very smoothly. The seafood was fresh and great quality, you could taste it. The chefs were very proud of the seafood from Hokkaido. I already plan on bringing my family here when they visit as they love sushi. read more

We got seated at 2pm at the very end of the lunch window. Our 9 courses were expertly prepared in front of us. For lunch it's the fairly standard sushi items you would expect with many of them toasted with a small flame. My favorites were the king salmon with garlic aioli and the Japanese scallop with salt. The preparation had the right amount of wasabi and seasoning to enhance the fish. We also had the sake, served at a mildly cool temperature. I would definitely come back. The lunch price of $49 is outstanding for the variety. Seating is tight but comfortable. Service is solid and helpful. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner with one of my friends. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Each dish is one bite. The space is small, and all the seats are along the sushi bar. This place has been open less than a week, but it is a great addition to the neighborhood. It is definitely worth checking ou I can't wait to come back! read more

Lunch if an especially excellent value at $49 for 8 pieces. Some pieces better than others, but generally excellent. Most fish is buttery and rich, better than what you would get out of a Royal Sushi box at Sushi 35 West (just as a standard point of reference). The uni ($14 supplement) was sweet and mild with no metallic undertones. Dinner is $100, if so inclined, and includes 13 pieces. You got a lot of value for your money here. read more

It's a great omakase spot that's opened up in UWS! Absolutely amazing bites at a great price if you're looking for a tasting of various sushi and sashimi! We went at night to avoid the crowds and to experience a more intimate experience. Can't say enough about the precision and quality of the food and will definitely come back here sooner rather than later. We met some other patrons who have been here 6 times already, and they're making the trek from downtown each time to have the food and sake here. Currently, they don't have a liquor license, so you'll be served house sake. Can't go wrong for the quality and price at this omakase! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner tonight at One Bite Omakase. We've been to a number of omakase restaurants around the city and it was nice to see some new and special preparations. The fish was very fresh and pieces were of a good size. Service was crisp. Water and tea were kept filled. The space felt intimate, but a little noisy. Chef Johnny took great care of us.
