Delightful! There were games, and the kitchen prepared a special birthday roll for our party. Servers were attentive and kind. The whole seating was less than an hour! Not a typical silent omakase at all, but lively and enjoyable with delicious fish. I'll be back! read more

An omakase experience that is so worth your money!! For ten nigiri and two hand rolls for $38 and that includes tip.. I mean come on! They are also very attentive if there's modifications that you request like I don't like wasabi and they remembered to not include any in my sushi. The fish tasted so delicious as well. The restaurant is set up like a traditional omakase experience. The owner explains each dish and they are efficient with providing the next course. Definitely a must try if you are craving nigiri for lunch! read more

Sushi W - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Sushi W has one of the best affordable omakases in the city and this UWS location is great as it's not as busy as the other spots. We got the $68 premium omakase which includes everything on the regular menu plus 2 different pieces of chutoro and galbi. We loved everything! It's such a good value considering how fresh the fish is. My favorites were the chutoro with soy (so rich and melt in your mouth), scallop, and striped jack but everything honestly was really good. The service feels intimate without being stuffy and the environment is casual enough for a quick dinner or nice enough for a date night out. Will definitely be back the next time I have a craving for omakase. read more

Very accommodating staff (for an omakase joint) will put you at ease at this relaxed, divey space. The chef is the silent star of here surrounded by a wraparound bar. While the back to back reservation slots can make everything feel a little transactional, it's the best of Japanese sushi craft and stoic hospitality coupled with the familiar New York speed and pragmatism. read more

This was an incredible omakase experience at a very reasonable price Food: we ordered the premium lunch menu - which offered so much food for just $150 (for two people)! One of my favorites was the sea salt medium fatty tuna- it is amazing! There was a great variety of things. Service: The 'host' walked around and was very attentive. He explained what we were eating as well! Everyone was so kind Ambience: great ambience: there is a big table that you sit with others - and it was a nice experience read more

Sushi W - Amberjack Sushi and the Chutoro with Soy Sauce so good! They also play a series of games for free items off their menu. - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

The dinner was way above my expectations. Came here for an early birthday celebration and it was a great experience. The sushi was fresh and tasted great. Only complaint was the truffle powder was a little much...to the point where it made my mouth dry. Could probably lighten up the saucing a little bit. But overall the sushi was good and great quality. The server came around to individually tell us what the fish of the day is for each one of those, and was highly attentive. It was a very nice setting at the bar and easy to converse with the whole party. The fact that there's no tipping here just made the overall experience even better since it was still great service regardless. read more

This is a great place! The food was great, the sake was amazing and the atmosphere was fun. They had a few contests for a chance to get a free drink or another piece of sushi. The barcode service was great but I do wish they had described each piece of sushi in more detail. We will definitely go back read more

omakase on the more affordable side ($68 for premium, 16 pieces total). the space itself is intimate and dimly lit, giving the impression of a higher end place while still being casual enough to bring your friends for a night out. came here with a group and was seated promptly -- service was friendly and attentive. the servers were on top of walking us through the menu. little bonus included a few interactive experiences to keep things fun: one was a dice roll (doubles got you a free drink), the other was a last man standing rock paper scissors game for two extra pieces of chutoro. my party had two winners and it definitely elevated their night. food wise, the fish was pretty high quality especially given the affordable pricing. each piece was fresh and paired well with a simple garnish (eg soy sauce, sea salt, truffle powder, etc). the choice to do two chutoro pieces was interesting (not my favorite but good fish overall so can't complain too much). rice was also sauced which added some nice depth of flavor, but at the same time made the rice fall apart sometimes while picking it up. despite any downsides, the quality and quantity versus price makes this experience very much worth it, and i would recommend it for anyone who's in the area and looking to treat themselves without making a huge hole in the wallet. read more

my first ever omakase experience did not disappoint ! i was looking for an affordable and well rated omakase spot, and stumbled across sushi w on social media. i was surprised they offered a 38$ lunch menu with 10 pieces of nigiri and 2 rolls, which sounds too good to be true. however, this went well over my expectations. we were greeted immediately by dim lighting and the host who sat us at the bar where we got to see our sushi chef prepare each piece. for the sushi, all of the fish is fresh and buttery. my most favorite is the arctic char where they seared and added some fresh garnishes. this piece was so good that i just had to order it again a la carte. overall, i would say all of the sushi tasted delicious and not one tasted bad. but not only is the food delicious, the service is top notch. everyone is super polite ! they also named each and every piece of sushi they gave us and kept our glasses full. sushi w is indeed a W ! read more

Sushi W - 07/24/25 lunch menu - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Probably one of my favorite omakase I've tried in the city thus far the quality of the fish was great just wish we had about an extra 10-15 minutes to eat and enjoy it a bit slower. Otherwise I really enjoyed the games they incorporated to win food and their interactions with the customers. Every bite was good and I didn't have one I didn't enjoy. The inside is fine nothing too special but the food makes up for it! read more

I will be back Yummy, intimate, and like an episode of the bear :D Such yummy fish and such a good omakase deal of $38 for lunch. They have intimate sessions of ~12 people so it's such a small space. Waiting room in first area and dining area in the back! The $38 including tip is too good to be true for a 10 course meal + 2 hand rolls. Was so full after too. I enjoy a chill reg but intimate vibe, and this checked what i wanted to go for. OH PLUS we came for a bday and they turned off all the lights n made everyone sing happy birthday HAHA such a shared experience w the others eating. Such a lively crew read more

You get what you pay for, so based on the low price for omakase, you can't expect super creative takes on the fish. Though the taste overall wasn't anything to write home about, the value of this place is its relatively low price amongst the tons of other omakase places in NYC. That being said, it's a great introduction to omakase for newbies who don't want to break the bank. Service was excellent, like they make you feel like you are at more prestigious restaurant than they actually are. I'm glad that I got to try this place; though I probably won't be back, I would recommend it to someone in the area considering dining here. read more

Had my first omakase experience here, was blown away by the quality of the fish! For under $60, we had a 13 course omakase dinner. Service was extremely friendly and we had a fun experience. Quality of the fish was super good for the price point, savored every bite. I loved 12/13 of the courses, the snow crab hand roll was just alright. Definitely worth a visit, but make sure to reserve in advance! read more

Omakase Sushi W was good and would consider going back again. Quality food and nothing to complain about and doing the premium was definitely worth it. I did however take one star of for the overall experience though. This is the first omakase that I've been to where all the protein has been precut which kinda takes away from the experience you'll get from other locations. read more

Great omakase deal in the city. Very intimate seating with only 10-12 people dining in at the same time. Sushi was delicious but I can't say it's the best I've had. I wish their dining experience could have been a bit more interactive and engaging. You have the option to order additional pieces at the end. They have a no tip policy just like in Japan! read more

Came here for my anniversary dinner date late summer and was very happy with the experience. Intimate setting seated around the chef and the playlist that night was all of my favorite 90s jams. It was fun to watch the chefs at work. Service is prompt and the menu was delicious. I know some people have said that it's not as adventurous as they would like, but I think simpler and done extremely well is also worth praising. Everything was really fresh and there were some good happy hour deals, too. Honestly a spectacular bang for your buck in terms of an omakase in New York City. Would gladly come back anytime. read more

Nice selection of omakase for one hour windows, lunch and dinner. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and professional. The room is pretty basic but it's a nice price point and one can add pieces menu for an additional charge. The branzino special nigiri piece stood out to me as well as the fun being "served in your hand" ikura hand roll. read more

Came here most recently for the lunch omakase special ($38 including tip/tax), and it did not disappoint. The fish is fresh, and comes out fast. If you're looking for an exciting creative omakase place this is not for you. Sushi W is definitely straight forward in both its decor (small and very standard sushi bar) and it's flavor profiles a, but is delicious and affordable. I've also had the basic dinner set ($53) and it was delicious as well. My favorite piece is the scallop- super sweet and delicious, or the Amberjack. Will definitely be coming back for the lunch deal! Make sure you get a reservation in advance though, because they only have about 10 seats, and it fills up even on the weekdays. read more

So, after my partner rejected my proposal to dedicate a line item of our monthly budget to Omakase. I needed to find some more affordable eats. I was never going to give up sushi so, the hunt was on! Food: 5/5 I am sucker for early arrival combo and they know it. If you get two apps (~$16 total) before your reservation you get a free drink (i.e., sake, wine,etc.). You know I was hooked. Then, you finally sit down to eat and these prices (especially for NYC) are beyond reasonable since NO TIPPING!! For my friend and I we got the Omakase ($68 each), double app combo ($28), more drinks ( $12), and extra sushi ($13) only for ~$206! You know I am coming back. Like some places be like $135 just for Omakase. Service: 4.5/5 I was slightly disappointed since the staff and chef did not really talk to us that much. Like they were explaining stuff to the group, but I was hoping to talk to the chef more. That is not to say they were not attentive, but I was hoping to be little less formal. All in all, I would definitely go back and going to try their UES location next month. read more

Made a reservation for a Friday night and had an incredible meal here. Honestly, I don't want to tell people about this... that's how good it is. My boyfriend and I both did the premium omakase, which was $68pp (hospitality included). Right off the bat, you cannot beat that price for omakase downtown. What's even better is how good it was. Highlights were the marinated tuna, medium fatty tuna, squid, arctic char, yellowtail and eel. The quality was really there, and it's definitely one of the best affordable omakase I've tried. Just an amazing meal all around. Can't wait to go back! read more

Came to Sushi W for their $38 lunch omakase which was a great deal. They only have reservations for lunch at 12pm and 1pm so we decided to go on a Friday afternoon. We were seated in front of the sushi bar where we were given 10 pieces of sushi and 2 hand rolls throughout the meal. Each piece was carefully crafted and had unique flavors. Our favorites were the kampachi (amberjack) and the chotoro (fatty tuna). Definitely worth it for the lunch price omakase! read more

Expected more from a NYC omakase spot, although we ordered the premium set which was only $63. It was a deal too good to be true. The rice was brown and too much vinegar for my liking, the squid and short rib were fairly chewy. They did accommodate my request to have no rice and wasabi, but I was left feeling still fairly hungry (would've still been hungry even if I had eaten the rice). It was one of those rushed/timed places which I also realized I am not a fan of. Expected a lot more in comparison to Boston or Guildford CT, but overall was disappointed. Wouldn't go again, but at least now I know to avoid similar places. read more

Sushi W - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Simply cannot beat Sushi W. Hands down best bang for your buck sushi in NYC. At $68, the 15 pieces of nigiri and two hand rolls is some of the better quality sushi I've had. For $24, you can add a sake pairing (3 glasses throughout the one hour meal). The pace is definitely quick, but they focus on quality over presentation, and frankly, I'll take that any day. Honestly, I have had many Michelin star omakase dinners, and Sushi W can hold its own in the presence of many of them. Will choose this any day over a $200+ per person experience almost anywhere else. read more

Intimate omakase experience at a great price point! Sushi W's sushi tasted high quality and fresh. I loved all the pieces on the menu. However, the rice portions were small with each piece and I feel that can be alittle more experimental with their menu. Despite this, the service was on point- very prompt. Inside was cozy, intimate, but very lively, even on weekday. If you're someone who is looking for a little more affordable omakase experience, I highly recommend this place! read more

My partner reserved a spot for us at this omakase restaurant in the upper west side. You have to reserve by time slots as space here is very limited. We got the premium omakase which was the basic omakase plus 3 premium nigiri. We sat in front of the chefs working their magic and it was spectacular. Akami Zuke -Marinated Tuna (5/5): This the first piece of the omakase and my favorite. This tuna was marinated in soy sauce. It was sweet and made me reimagine what tuna nigiri is. Chutoro w/ soy sauce (5/5): melted in my mouth. Chutoro w/ sea salt (5/5): don't remember too much of salt but it was amazing Kampachi-amberjack (5/5): this was probably the most interesting dish I had that night. It was topped with basil and exploded with a pesto-like flavor Branzinow/lemon juice (5/5): this was our fish of the day #1. The branzino tasted like a between a sushi fish and a amaebi shrimp Ika (squid) (4/5): I was a bit disappointed in this since I really like ika. It was cut in a spiral shape, but I really liked in a flat nigiri form. I felt like the shape of the ika took out some of the chewy texture I really liked. Arctic char (5/5): this char was actually charred! I never had this one before so I was excited to try it. It tasted like a more dried salmon. Ikura (5/5): the chef pours the Ikura in your hands and you eat it like a taco. It was super yummy as the balls exploded with fish. Torotaki-minced blue tuna roll (5/5): I'm always happy whenever I get a chance to eat toro. It comes with the Korean radish so it could balance it out with some crunchiness. Seared Salmon (5/5): the addition of the truffle powder blew my mind! Hotate-scallop (5/5): this was good and I liked how the chef gave me a big piece. Spanish Mackerel & hirame (5/5): this was fresh and delicious Uni (3/5): I didn't like how sandy it tasted. I've definitely had much better uni before. Kalbi-short rib (5/5): so amazing as the fat just melted in my mouth. Unagi (4/5): not as much unagi sauce as I hoped. It was pretty big and meaty Negi Kampachi-minced Kampachi & scallion roll (5/5): great item to end the night! I highly recommend this place as it's so delicious and great it you want to try new fish. It is also one of the best value in the city. read more

we were 15 minutes late to our omakase so it was a little rushed at the beginning. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have uni (my only loveeee) but the other fishes were of good, fresh quality initially I didn't want their ikira but glad I did because it was one of my favorite things I had there I didn't like that they had ribeye for their meat, I want wagyu!!! their hand rolls were lacking fish too their rice is premade with soy sauce which I love! i'm a salty girl i'd come back! read more

Sushi W - first set of omakase - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

unbelievable price for the quality and amount of food you get. highly recommend making a reservation beforehand though as they are extremely popular. we opted for the premium omakase because at that price point, you might as well go all out! the chef was so quick with making our food and truly had a perfect ratio of wasabi, salt and rice in each course. I absolutely devoured. the blue highlights are my top favorite courses, while the purple were incredibly close runners up. the rest of the courses were so good as well (except I learned I don't like the texture of squid but that's not sushi w's fault. it's a preference). the blowtorched fishes (sablefish, salmon, and one other) were the perfect amount of smokiness and truly enhanced the flavor. I was so pleased with the service here as well (always refilling waters, answering questions about the fish, etc). I know they have more turnover than most omakase places (they have to at that price!) but I didn't feel rushed. It was a great pace for me and we ate in about an hour. I love that you get to eat at the bar and it is a more intimate and cozy environment without having to pay a crazy amount. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and staff were very welcoming. The ambiance was great, but it felt so rushed with 45-50 min to enjoy and have omakase. First, the rice was strange. It was too vinegary, had sauce in it, and was too warm - causing the rice to fall apart very easily. The fish were okay but didn't wow me. The pieces were REALLY tiny and too many toro pieces close together for the Premium set. It is affordable and great to dip your foot into the omakase world. read more

This place has amazing value for omakase, priced at $38 you get 13 pieces consisting of 11 nigiri and 2 handrolls. The quality of the fish is fresh, service is attentive and ambiance is relaxing.

We went here for the dinner omakase menu. We just went with the basic, which was more than enough food. The food was all excellent, at a reasonable pricepoint. The hand rolls were my favorite, as were the fatty tuna items. Some of the items felt a bit too creative, with things like lemon and basil seasoning; personally I would have preferred to lean more on the fish itself, but overall super, super good! read more
