A unique omakase into all you can eat and drink experience! All of the omakase dishes were delicious, with my favorites being the tuna tartare and the seared tuna with uni. The all you can drink was also a great addition to the night, the sake paired well with the sushi. Service was great and the all you can eat rules were explained very well. My favorite out of the three ayce options was the fatty tuna, it was very rich and fresh. I also loved how the Wagyu was seared right in front of us at the bar, it elevated the experience and added to the vibes. Overall I thought the experience was worth it to try once, but with the amount of places to try in the city, I can't justify going again anytime soon! Definitely go to this spot hungry, I left feeling completely stuffed. read more

SourAji appears to be gainfully employed by bratty 20 something's who don't want to be there. Omakese is always crunched because they have to serve and turn the whole restaurant at once but at Sour Aji there isn't enough time between services to even enjoy what you're getting. at $100 each this isn't a good enough deal to justify the consistently horrible service. everytime our server talked to us it was about how we basically needed to get out. we have been here 3 times, giving the benefit of the doubt, but they finally lost us after this round. The ambience is bad, the walls are gray, no decor, somewhat rancid vibes for a $300-$400 dinner. I have no issue with the food, but there are too many AYCE Omakase joints in NYC for this. read more

This place was an awesome experience! To give a brief introduction of how it works, there's a 14-course omakase, followed by four rounds of all-you-can-eat. Each of the four rounds are for one type of fish: salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and A5 Wagyu. Once you complete a round, you can't go back to that type, so it's kind of like a fun little game. First of all, I thought the omakase was quite good. The different pieces were great and very high quality! The all-you-can-eat portion was surprisingly really good, too, the meat-to-rice ratio was great! It's time for Good Coverage, presented by Progressive Insurance. The service was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere inside was a little tight, but still comfortable. I feel like the price is pretty reasonable, too, for everything you get, especially if you can eat a lot. I will definitely be coming back for special occasions! read more

VIBE: Sort of like it spirit airlines did omakase. From the first plate of 4 pieces to the last was 16 minutes, they're are trying to GET YOU OUT. At the end the server, half looking at us, asked which pre packaged in plastic wrap mochi flavor we wanted, and then gave it a little toss onto our plate lol. Closer to 2.5 stars, really. This is the kind of place to go to pregame a night out. The atmosphere is grey, the lighting is both harsh and too dark, and the music is quite loud. The establishment itself was just kinda grimy, dusty, and dirty. The single toilet overflowed with feces and was unattended to. We did let them know; I don't ding them much for this, but it was gross. AYCE: At $100 it is not all you can eat, and they very squirelly about not explaining the all you can eat until the end. You get one shot to order everything you want, and its $4 per left over piece of food/rice ball. The all you can drink sapporo and sake could definitely help you get your money worth, but that's not really what we were there for. QUALITY: The quality is pretty grim honestly, and the preparation doesn't help (wagyu over cooked in some pieces, undercooked in others, amount of fish totally inconsistent etc). I got pretty nauseous and feverish a few hours after eating here, but my table mate didn't so I won't pin it squarely on them. The staff were nice enough, but definitely felt like they knew this was sort of a cash grab, or something to be a little cagey about. I think they were surprised we didn't order more, but I was just ready to get out of there. You could have a good time, but make sure you understand the vibe. Think 22-24 year olds pregaming with sushi as a secondary experience to that. I don't recommend it outside of this setting. You can get MUCH BETTER OMAKASE AND SUSHI OTHER PLACES FOR THIS PRICE. Here you are paying for the AYCDrink and half AYCE gimmick. read more

This is, by far, my favorite omakase and AYCD sake restaurant ever!! I'm newer to the concept but really enjoyed each dish that was brought out to us and the never ending flow of sake presented to us by the great servers and sushi chefs (shoutout to Kevin!) They do two seatings per night and I recommend this restaurant to all my friends visiting NYC, I make sure to visit every time I'm in town! Definitely get a seat at the bar, the environment is lit! read more

Great value for 100 dollars especially given this comes with all you can drink as well. Sushi is high quality. Note that for the AYCE portion you have to decide ahead of time how many pieces you want, and you cannot add more after that. The AYCE only applies to tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu. Still very good value even with limitations. They also try to have you finish fast, within 1.5 hours, so they can get more customers in. They are strict about time limit. Ambiance is pretty crowded bar-style. Make sure to get a reservation ahead of time. read more

Came here with a buddy of mine after seeing the AYCE deal all over social media. This is a very small hole in the wall restaurant with a long counter and a few tables up front. I sat at the table. Service was honestly amazing and my server Sophia was super attentive and friendly explaining all of our options and dealing with our large ordering antics. After a delightful omakase experience with a bunch of great flavors, the all you can eat started and you have to order everything at once so you need to know how much you can eat before. We ordered 140 pieces, 60 lean tuna, 40 toro, and 40 of the A5 Wagyu. Do not do this, so good but so agonizing. Food tasted amazing and the sake options made it fun. Overall was a super fun experience and I would go back and get a reasonable amount of food instead. read more

Every single dime spend well here. It's omakase + all you can eat + all you can drink. The best $100/person that you could spend. The place was extremely busy. We had a great time here. Thank you!!! read more

The first 12 course were pretty good but it definitely wasn't an omakase experience. As shown in the pictures, the sushi came out in sets of 4 rather than one by one. Afterwards, they rush to take your AYCE order BUT please note you only get to order once. So right after you finish your course, you need to decide how many pieces you can eat. Between my friend and I, we had 60 pieces and we definitely slowed down towards the end. A true all you can experience should be order as you go so food doesn't go to waste and customers can enjoy the food. We didn't want to be charged extra so we forced ourself to finish which made the sushi less enjoyable. read more

SourAji has been on my wife and Is radar for quite some time, and when we had celebratory occasion, we decided to try the experience. We were a little nervous that it would be over hyped (as seen a lot of influencers posting about it online), but it really did exceed our expectations in terms of quality and service! We ended up sitting at the second bar in the back of the restaurant, and were lucky enough to get two end seats (which were right next to the sake...). Our glasses were never empty! They offer a premium version of the sake (extra $20pp), where you can order from an additional two sakes. We didn't opt for it, but may consider it for next time. Food-wise, the nigiri really was fantastic with some of our favorites being the seabreem, himachi, and BBQ eel. It was some of the best white fish nigiri I've had in a while (I usually wouldn't pick those). Then for the AYCE portion the way it works is you can order any amount of lean tuna, then any amount of fatty tuna (otoro - which is torched), then any amount of the waygu. You only have one opportunity to order each one, so choose wisely. I ordered 10 of each, which was a bold move and definitely feeling it today... But there are def groups that order way more (I think current record for someone is like 220ish between the three!). Service-wise, we felt very well taken care of. Super friendly, welcoming, and talkative. As mentioned above, our glasses were never empty - and huge shout out to Celeste and Ryan for giving great recommendations on the sake and mochi (for dessert)! Overall, left feeling like it was a memorable experience and would do it again! read more

$98 for AYCE omakase and sake! 12 courses then unlimited lean tuna, toro, and wagyu. Very delicious, good quality, and worth the price! Most omakase places feel intimate and quiet, but here, you can connect and make friends with so many people. It was a very lively environment with engaging sushi chefs and good service. You start with 12 unique pieces of sushi then go into the AYCE portion. They start with lean tuna first, you ask for how many pieces you want to eat. Then you eat them and go into toro. So on and so forth. It takes the pressure off of not ordering too much. My tip: order more than you think! This place is definitely worth it for the price point. Make reservations in advance. read more

Really solid omakase overall--fish was fresh, well-prepared, and the pacing of the meal felt just right. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for a more intimate sushi experience in NYC. The only downside was the "all you can eat" portion at the end--you have to preorder the three options (wagyu and two toro), which kind of defeats the purpose and makes it feel less flexible than expected. Also, it's a very small space with only one bathroom, so be prepared for a bit of a wait there. Still great meal however probably only a 1 time experience read more

$100 Omakase with all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat for A5 Wagyu, Fatty Tuna, and Lean Tuna! This place is worth it if you can eat a lot! The quality itself is pretty mediocre and there's option pieces where there's basically any meat on it. Rice leans more on the vinegar side and it is densely packed. Overall, I'm glad I tried it for the one time but I was defeated and probably wouldn't go again unless I was mega hungry. read more

Omakase + AYCE + AYCD. You have to make a reservation (quite easy online), but the place is pretty small so walk-ins most likely won't be seated. I arrived promptly for my reservation at 7:00pm and everyone else who had a resy had to wait outside since the previous wave was still finishing up. I booked a 3 person at the Sushi Bar (maybe 17 seats) since there wasn't any tables open (4 tables of 2 and 1 table of 6). The omakase itself is 12 pieces and decent quality and wide range of fish, regular salmon and toro and scallop and wagyu. This part takes around 30 minutes to eat and they have a bunch of sakes for you to choose from, including one plum wine that was pretty sweet and my personal favorite. The AYCE is three rounds: tuna, toro, and wagyu. They ask you how many pieces you want only one time and then you can't go back to the previous round. It's also $10 per piece that you cannot finish, so make sure to budget well (I ate 5-5-3, but my partner had 5-10-6 and said he could have gone with 1-2 pieces less. I think the average for the AYCE section is ~20 per person). There was a lady who ordered 200 pieces of toro...I'm not sure she finished because she only had the allotted 90 minutes (but 30 had already passed for the Omakase portion), and around 8:25 the entire next wave was already waiting near and outside the door and she still had like 40 pieces. Honestly, super fun experience, the waiting staff were super friendly as well. I would definitely recommend, after tax it was roughly $130pp. read more

My friend and I ate here last night and did the Unlimited sushi dinner. A few hours later, we both developed severe nausea, stomach cramps, and [other symptoms], which is a classic timeline for food poisoning. Two people getting sick after the same meal is not a coincidence. We tried calling the restaurant multiple times to let them know and request a refund, and were ignored. We followed up by text and email as well -- still no response. I'm leaving this review so others can be aware, and I'll be filing a complaint with the NYC Department of Health. Disappointing that a simple refund request for a meal that made two people sick couldn't even get a reply. read more

I enjoyed the experience. You're probably pretty hungry coming to an ayce spot so I appreciated that each piece of the omakase came pretty quickly and the fish was pretty good quality! They take your order for the ayce portion 3 separate times (right before each course). I wish there was soy sauce for the ayce portion but they seemed too busy for me to make a request. Another yelper is right through, the wagyu is salty enough which was perfect for me. The vibes were casual. I had a great time here and I recommend this place read more

Finally after months of rescheduling this reservations due to life priorities I decided to take myself out on a solo date here. I arrived 10 minutes and I was at least 6 sushi pieces behind. Omakase experience was quick and rushed. The vibe and crowd except for the host and manager were standoffish compared to other omakase spots. The seating was 90 minutes we were done in about 75 minutes. There were unlimited sake, beer and tea. I ordered hot oolong tea and they forgot about my drink even after I paid the bill but at the same time ai didn't follow up. I started off with the plum wine followed by sake. I liked the idea of serving the sake on a shot glass. It was the right amount of alcohol for each serving. My top three pieces from the omakase round were the wagyu, scallop and eel. For the AYCE, there were 3 rounds: lean tuna (1st round), Toro (2nd round) and wagyu (last round). You can't go back after ordering from each round for more so there is gamble here, order a lot and if you cannot finish it there is an extra charge. The dining experience ended with dessert of choice: cookies and cream ice cream and mochi. I went with the black sesame mochi. Bathroom was very clean. If I come back them I have to go in with an empty stomach to consume more wagyu sushi. read more

We went to SourAji recently on a Friday night to try the all you can eat Omakase that we saw on social media. All in all it was a quality experience. The cuts of sushi were delicious and what you would expect for that price point. The ice cream was tasty. The space itself is compact and pretty cute. Where this place gets 3 stars instead of higher is the service and the unusual all you can eat policy. Our service wasn't terrible and fairly decent but not what you would expect from a place at this price point as the waiter didn't do a great job of explaining the omakese. As for the all you can eat policy, as others have noted, it is more of an all you can approximately eat as you get to order 1 round of any amount of sushi but no more than that so you have to make a determination of how much you can eat instead of just ordering as you go along. It should be noted that they impose a penalty for not finishing all your sushi. read more

One of my favorite things about myself is that when I take an L, I'm very consistent in getting my lick back. I'll do anything to get a lick back. However, one lick I have been unable to get back is Montezuma. Bro just has my NUMBER. The last 4 times I have gone to Mexico I got sick as a dog. Montezuma is getting every last bit his revenge for Hernán Cortés massacring and enslaving the Aztecs. Talk about getting a lick back... All this to say, I had a dinner planned with my girlfriend's cousin at SourAji to demolish the all you can eat omakase here. When I committed to the res 9 days prior, I had no idea I would still be in a DOGFIGHT with Montezuma... and what was I gonna do? Cancel last minute? How would that look to my girlfriend's cousin? In hindsight, I should have absolutely canceled as raw fish is the last thing I should have been eating. But hindsight is always 20/20, we need to look forward. We entered the clean Japanese interior of SourAji and were seated at the bar. One of the chefs looked at me and said "Are you the chicken guy!? I love your videos!" I wish I could have interacted with him more and gotten his name, but I was so locked in on trying to have a solid poker face. The first 14 pieces of sushi were delicious, and I got through them pretty easy. I was feeling myself. However, after the omakase course, they come around and give you 3 options for all you can eat. You get to pick however many lean tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu nigiri you want. Anything you don't eat, you have to pay for. Big cuz leaned over to me and said "We are about to go CRAZY! How many do you think you're gonna get?" I said "probably like 3 each..." which sounded like a lot in my current state. He responded with "THREE!??! THAT'S IT!??! I thought you were a big dog..." I upped it to 6 each to which he said "THAT'S IT!?!" But 6 each, 18 total pieces of nigiri, was more than I thought I could possibly finish. I informed him I was operating at around 43% of my full strength right now. I got 6 of each, and he got 6 lean tuna, 8 fatty, and 10 wagyu nigiri. TANK. I made it through the first 12 somehow, but when those last 6 wagyu nigiri came... man. I had to look myself in the face and say "who are you as a man?" I was scarfing them down and chugging water. I picked up the last piece with my chopsticks, beads of sweat rolling down my face, and shoved it in my mouth against my will. Job finished. He said "we have to come back when you're at full strength." Absolutely we do, I'll be back to do some DAMAGE. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

This was my very first Omakase experience, and I have no major complaints. Service was attentive, friendly and fast. Everyone served us with a smile! The first four courses - the Omakase itself - was wonderful. Every dish that the chef put out was absolutely delicious and presentation was on point. For the final course - the "all you can eat" sushi bit - we ordered what seemed like a mountain full of sushi and it was good to the last bite. My only complaints; 1) sitting at a table instead of the bar dilutes the experience a bit. Those who were at the bar seemed to have more of an interactive experience. 2) the plum wine which is one of two bottles offered was cloyingly sweet - too sweet for anyone at the table. Not a good pairing with the exquisite plates being served. 3) not a complaint but rather a warning; do NOT over-order when it comes to the all you can eat part. Yes it's fun to be challenged (you must eat everything you order during an allotted span of time, or else you get charged extra for every piece of sushi left behind). However, at the end of the day I left overstuffed and the delicate flavors of the Omakase courses were washed out by the mountain of rolls that we were challenged to complete. However, in the end it's a cool experience and you get your money's worth if you overindulge! read more

I went to Souraji for their omakase. The restaurant features two sushi bars and a limited number of tables. We were seated at one of the bars where a single chef prepared our sushi, while the other bar had two chefs working. The concept here is an all-you-can-eat sushi and sake experience. There's a drink menu with four types of sake, two beers, and two teas, all with unlimited refills. The omakase starts with a 14-course, and afterward, you get to choose how many pieces of toro, salmon, and wagyu you'd like. I noticed the sushi pieces during the omakase were quite large, but once it shifted into the all-you-can-eat portion, the sushi and fish slices were a little smaller. It still worked well since you get to try more without feeling too stuffed. The staff was attentive, especially with drinks. They always checked if your sake cup was empty and offered the next pour right away. Service overall was excellent, and the experience felt generous and well-paced. Overall, Souraji is a great spot for those who want an omakase that's both high-quality and indulgent, with the bonus of unlimited sake. read more

Omakase, AYCE, and AYCD! We had a great experience here. The staff were all friendly and very attentive. The omakase portion was overall good. Every serving was good, but felt a little uninspired. There were 4 different options for drinks. We tried all 4 options. Refills were very prompt. After omakase, we had 3 additional courses for AYCE. They ask you to decide on how many pieces you want prior to each course. They do it this way because everyone's course is made at the same time by the chef. I really enjoyed the lean tuna and toro. Unfortunately the Wagyu fillets were too salty. This is a very fun and fast paced experienced. They do keep track of record holders. At the time of review, the current record holder had over 150 pieces! I will probably come here one day to see if I can come close to that. read more

Came here by recommendation from friends! We were super excited for AYCE Wagyu. You get to eat your omakase course then choose your number of lean tuna, fatty tuna, and Wagyu one at a time just one time. Included in the AYCE was drinks and sake which we thought was nice. The concept of the restaurant is really great however we felt as though the execution was not. You have 90 minutes but you're done in about an hour they'll rush you out. The bar seating is incredibly tight almost uncomfortably tight. The food is just eh. What really threw me off was the amount of vinegar used in the rice the day we went. All we could taste was the vinegar. The fish was okay but the Wagyu was incredibly chewy which I've never experienced chewy Wagyu. The servers were nice it seems like they're trained to make people drink alcohol? Or they are just young... this is definitely not a date night place. read more

Souraji is an you can eat omakase and all you can drink sake/beer spot definitely has a unique setup. They start you off with a 14-course tasting, which was a nice variety, but after that, you only get to choose from 4 options for the "all-you-can-eat" part which they only offer you once. I wish this had been explained more clearly from the start or that I had read reviews beforehand, because I initially thought you could reorder any of the 14 pieces, not just the limited four. The all you can drink is a great touch as they have a different variety of sake. But I did feel a bit rushed after the 90-minute mark, likely because they need to seat the next group. While I understand the time limit, the overall vibe felt a little too structured and lacked the more fun, lively atmosphere I've experienced at other omakase spots. Still, it's worth trying if you go in knowing the format and are ready to make quick decisions on your refills! read more

This ayce omakase was awesome. Came to this place with 5 people and we were stuffed. They have a lot of seating so they can serve plenty of people but make sure to reserve. The place seemed clean and atmosphere is good. They served sake along with the omakase and there were 4 sake you can choose from. The omakase started with 12 different cuts afterwards they served the unlimited omakase. The server checked up on us and asked if we wanted to refill our sake throughout the courses. The food was delicious and we order many cuts for the acye. The tuna was great but the wagyu was just okay. Overall, it was a great experience. Just remember to don't over order because they will charge per piece if you don't finish. read more

A small restaurant that is hard to miss because it is dimly lit from the outside. It serves a 14 course omakase with an all you can eat(AYCE) afterwards. The omakase portion was pretty good with a bunch of different types of fish. The AYCE system works in 3 rounds, each round you choose how many pieces you want but you cannot ask for more after. 1st Round- Lean Tuna 2nd Round- Fatty Tuna 3rd Round- Wagyu Overall I enjoyed the flavor and the different types of courses in the omakase but the AYCE portion I found to be not as good because the sushi rice was overpowering with vinegar and I could not enjoy the tuna or wagyu.

Interesting concept when they bring you a multi course omakase experience and then you can choose between only tuna, Wagyu, or Toro for the remainder all you can eat. You have to decide how many pieces of the all you can eat at the end as they will not come back to refill any further orders. The tricky part is you will get charged if you don't finish everything. That's really a disappointing strategy. Although I'm sure they were tempted, they did not overpack the rice to fill you up. The Omakase was good, but nothing that was really unusual for creative. I thought the three types of sake was a nice touch since it was also included in the all you can eat price. The Wagyu was really inconsistent. Some pieces were so chewy that you cannot digest because of the uneven cooking but some were also very delicious. The Toro definitely was much better and consistently tasty. Of course, they did not have to torch the Toro. Although I am not a drinker, I will say the plum wine/sake was pretty good. Service was friendly, but also under staffed since they had to wait for so many tables. Definitely take a little bit longer to get your water refill or even your series of omakase. They did not seem to have much of a plan as they did not start serving the tables in any logical order. In fact, people that came late actually got served first while the rest of us had to wait. For $100 per person, I don't think it was worth the price. Much better options nearby. read more

I've always wanted to try an AYCE omakase spot, so this was a super fun experience with friends! The interior of this location has two bar sections, and there's ample seating for a bigger group (but I definitely do recommend a reservation). Service here is super nice and attentive. How the AYCE works is that there's a 12-course omakase that they first start you off with (that includes handrolls, a variety of nigiri, and miso soup). Once that is done, then they explain to you the AYCE portion: there are three rounds and at the beginning of each you tell them how many pieces you want on a scale of 0-100. If you have any leftovers than you are charged per piece. The quality of the fish overall was alright and for the AYCE portion, their cuts of fish are definitely thinner. I thought that their wagyu was really 'meh' and not that high quality (I felt a bit sick after eating it). But, for $98 and AYCE you're getting what you pay for. Regardless, it still was a fun experience with friends and the environment was very lively and fun to chat in. read more

Here's a concise and honest review for Souraji: Souraji - Fun Omakase with a Twist Souraji offers a solid omakase experience at a great value. The standard course was well-executed, and the unique "all-you-can-eat" rounds at the end added a fun, interactive twist you don't usually find at omakase spots. The unlimited sake option is appealing, though the house sake fell flat--stick with the other selections, which were much better. Seating was a bit cramped and not the most comfortable, but the friendly and attentive staff helped make up for it. If you're looking for a more relaxed and experimental take on omakase without breaking the bank, Souraji is worth checking out--just don't expect much elbow room. Tasting at the time was $98 + tip read more

Okay, let me tell you how it really is....this is place is an all you can eat sushi buffet 2.0. Let me level set expectations...this is not a high end omakase experience. The space is tight and bland, just like what you would expect for LES. The sushi bar is packed so tightly that you could barely lift your arms to eat. The sushi was pretty fresh but not the quality you would expect from a higher end sushi establishment. The seasoning on the fish was bland and if you request soy sauce and wasabi, they would provide an imbalanced amount which demonstrated their inexperience. If you order more sushi after all the courses, know that the serving is roughly 50% of the actual size. Also, the sake was lukewarm which was less than ideal. Overall, it's a pretty amateur establishment. They don't have real sushi chefs and the staff is extremely inexperienced. But if you're looking for a casual dinner spot where you can get full from sushi and drink for free, I think this place makes sense. Just level set your expectations. read more

Amazing. Good enough omakase with all you can drink and all you can eat (3 courses - lean tuna, fatty tube, and wagyu - I don't eat beef so they have me the option of salmon but with a 10 piece limit). Everyone was super nice. The decor was cute. The sake was actually good and the fatty tuna was melt in your mouth. Highly recommend if you're a fatty tuna lover. Also loved the yellowtail which is not usually my fav. read more

I celebrated my birthday here with a few friends (we were a group of 7). The food (especially for the price point) was very very good - one of the better omakases I've had that are typically more expensive. For the AYCE portion you can order tuna, toro, and/or wagyu but you need a final order/total for the table in one order. I was pretty skeptical about quality given the AYCE but the food was great - the AYCE pieces were even better than the ones served during the omakase (so don't under order). I knocked off a star because I was pretty disappointed with the service. We were the last seating (8:30 pm) but from the moment we got there the entire experience felt rushed and the team was scrambling. One pregnant person could only have wagyu and asked it be cooked well and she had to send it back. Even though we told them things in advance, we had to explain allergies/restrictions again. Finally, the waitress was on top of our table the entire time to get a final order for the number - she visited to ask us 5 times in a 5 minute period and when we told her someone was in the bathroom she came back and asked us to text him. Given this isn't a timed reservation, I wasn't sure what the situation was but it was very much a turn off as I felt we were being shoved out of there. read more

My sister took me here for my birthday since I told her I just wanted something casual, and it was exactly that. Music filled the room, people chatting and drinking. Book your time slot and be ready to eat and drink. The Omakase experience is very limited; but the nigiri that was served was unique and tasted fresh. The AYCE drink options; Premium Sake, Beer, Soda and tea. All the sake I tried and drank were solid options and it was a great opportunity to try out their offerings side by side. After you get through your 8 pieces of Chef's selection of nigiri, you have an option to do AYCE of Tuna, Toro and Wagyu. You have to be strategic since you can only place an order once for the table. The Tuna and Toro was easy to get through and was delicious, but the Wagyu was a bit of an overkill with AYCE. It's so rich and fatty that after 6+ pieces, the consistency of the meat/fat and the chewing became a little unpleasant. Interesting take on your non traditional Omakase / AYCE sushi & drinking experience. read more

Finally tried this ayce omakase with some friends and it did not disappoint. For $98 ayce omakase and unlimited sake, it's such a good deal. Quality was pretty good and at the end of the course, you have 3 options to order however many pieces you want (only get to order it once for every option, so order wisely!). The staff and host were very friendly and the restaurant is spacious. Will def come again because I drank too much free sake/plum wine so I wasn't able to eat many pieces after the course. So sad... read more

Got lucky and was seated at the bar on a Sunday night. The staff were lively, attentive and fun-- a pumped up vibe compared to typical omakase. The 12 pc omakase set ($98) came out super fast and each piece was yummy and fresh (nothing too stand out), and the nigiri with uni on it was the best. After the 12 pc set begins the AYCE part. Three rounds consisting of lean tuna, toro, and wagyu. The toro was fantastic!!! Wagyu was also good, kinda fatty, bit too salty. And for all you can drink, they have some good options. Overall LOVED it here and will definitely go again. read more
