    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. One thing i feel like has made me more adult in the last year is rlly starting to appreciate why ppl need certain alcs w. certain foods. Ughhh i wanna eat this again, truly dont know which was the best bite. Maybe toro????? Beautiful night

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Came here for lunch and every piece was really solid from beginning to end. I don't think you can find a better deal for omakase.

    OMG What an amazing Omakase place, way better than any other in the hood plus lunch Omakase was only $49. Every bite was exceptional !

    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.

    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.

    You can't beat the lunch price anywhere in NYC. Hosted by very polite staff. All the fish are fresh and delicious. It's a cozy restaurant and very easily accessible. If we had more appetites, will definitely try the additional dish.

    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.

    - Tiny establishment with a very small parking lot shared with another restaurant; seating is…read moreextremely limited, so expect a wait during peak times - Visited on a sub-freezing Saturday night, and the indoor heating struggled to keep up; despite multiple space heaters, the dining area remained uncomfortably cold - Unfortunately, the service reflected the temperature of the room--efficient but lacking warmth and friendliness - The pork buns were generously filled and flavorful, though the meat was quite dry; the ramen orders, however, were satisfying with excellent flavor and solid portion sizes - Overall, the food earns 4 stars, but the service and inadequate heating brought the experience down to 3 stars

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Really, really, reallllllly good ramen and food (and just as good as our 1st time 4 years ago!) ++++ Pork Buns - Each order comes with 1 bun, so you can order 1 at a time. Pork was shredded and a little dry, but the Japanese mayo and other ingredients made it very good. ++++ Green Curry Ramen - EXCELLENT curry flavor, but it wasn't too strong. Ramen was cooked perfectly and plenty of ingredients inside, including 2 slices of cha siu and a half of a soft boiled egg. ++++ Blackbeard Ramen - Also fantastic broth flavor too and same comment as above regarding their ramen. ++++ Kids Tonkotsu Ramen - At just $7, this is a steal for a kids ramen. There was 1 piece of cha siu in it, but it was excellent for a kids bowl. + Food comes out fairly quickly. + Private parking lot, but it was packed on an early Saturday evening. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a little disappointing. ---- One (young) waitress seemed very inpatient and was a bit flustered throughout the evening. Didn't appreciate her lack of cordialness. - Interior is tight. ---- There are only 5 tables in the restaurant and all of them can accommodate 2-4 people, MAX. There is also counter seating too for about 4-5 people. - It was freeezing inside when we came in on a frigid January Saturday evening, so keep your jacket on! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We arrived at about 5:45 PM on a January Saturday evening and snagged the last available table. Turnover is relatively quick here though because all people are eating is ramen, but there was a large party of about 8 people waiting a good 15-25 minutes after we were seated.

    Strangely enough I missed trying this dish on a trip to Tokyo last year…read more I had it on the list to try but didn't get a chance given all the foodie items I had on my list. While I can't vouch for authenticity but I can vouch for a delicious bite. Sazanami Hamba-Gu is notable for their Japanese Hamburger Steak, which is a hamburger without the bun, a very popular dish in Japan. Their version was served on a platter with rice, vegetables, miso soup, and chawanmushi. The patty itself was very juicy and tender and noted on the menu as a beef and pork combination. I included some addons which made my entree far more pricer. The fried egg was a good call while the double cheese probably wasn't necessary. I got the recommended red wine demi-glacé and another with the soy onion. The red wine was better in my opinion. Also got a tonkatsu to share and while the breading was very good the pork was a little drier than other ones I've had. I'd skip the tonkatsu and stick with the Hambu-gu as that was definitely more notable. Service was friendly but the entree does take time to prepare. I'd say think twice if you are in a hurry.

    Solid hambagu spot. Had this place recommended to us by a few people so gave it a shot. Walked in…read morewere able to sit almost right away on a weekday dinner. It was busy but there were a few seats here and there. Service was friendly though on the minimal side - came once to get order and then to take our trays when done. Food itself was good. We ordered hambagu and tonkatsu both of which were cooked well with good texture for the hambagu and good crisp for the pork cutlet. Ambiance is casual - not too big of a spot but didn't feel crowded. It's BYOB and parking can be an adventure on River Road so something to note.
