最近在 Uka Omakase 用餐，整体体验很不错，性价比在纽约这个价位里算是比较突出的 首先是食物，$56 的16道 omakase（前菜、味噌汤、12贯寿司、手卷和甜品）结构很完整。鱼的整体新鲜度不错，几道印象比较深的包括扇贝（口感很甜很嫩）、三文鱼配鹅肝（风味层次比较丰富）、以及从赤身到中脂再到大脂金枪鱼的递进，最后的 double otoro 口感很好。和牛配竹炭盐也处理得比较干净，没有过多调味 服务方面做得比较细致。服务员会及时清理台面的餐具，整体节奏把控得不错，不会让人有被赶时间的感觉。如果有拍照或者交流需求，也会比较配合，体验比较轻松 氛围偏热闹一些，但整体环境干净，吧台用餐有一定互动感，适合朋友聚餐或者轻松一点的约会。如果是第一次尝试 omakase，这里也算是一个比较容易接受的入门选择 整体来说，这家更偏向性价比和稳定体验，在这个价格区间里是一个值得推荐的选择 read more

As a lover of sushi I waited wayyy too long to try Omakase but so glad that for my first time I came here. I was counting down the days for this feast!! We opted for the 2 omakase dinner for 56$ a person which is a steal. It also comes with a free bottle of house sake! We arrived half hour early before they even opened but they were kind enough to let us in to stay away from the heat. Watching them set up was amazing. It truly takes a village to create such a beautiful space and give such amazing service. We were sat all the way to the back of the restaurant which I assume goes by which omakase you order. There was a larger table towards the front and I did notice a second floor so I assume it depends on which level of regular or VIP as to where you are seated. But that just makes it all the more intimate. As we were seated they served us the miso marinated salmon appetizer which was not only delicious but beautiful vibrant colors. To not repeat myself each time, all the fish and even the wagyu was just so tender you barely needed to bite. The components of each sushi completed each slice of fish. Whether it was dried rose atop the sea bream or the foie gras on the salmon everything was spectacular. And the nice little palette cleanser of the ginger kept my mouth salivating. The sushi masters craft was just so beautiful to watch. How he delicately assembled the nigiri and using his knife to gently score the fish and still keeping the integrity of it was amazing. All my respect to him for keeping it cool under pressure with all eyes on him. The sake was also sooooo good. That has to be one of the smoothest sake I've ever had. Usually it just tastes like rubbing alcohol to me but this was perfect and really had me buzzed. It also helped that the wonderful waitress was keeping our glasses topped off and did a few shots with us as well! After downing all that sushi, they end it with a nice scoop of matcha ice cream which is the perfect ending. This is truly a one of a kind experience I think everyone needs to try. Sidenote: I have no idea what the names of the fish were so just enjoy the pictures ‍ read more

Now that oyster season is wrapping up, my newest obsession is finding the most amazing Omakase experiences in the city. I swear, I wish I was inclined for cheaper hobbies, but here we all are. I heard about Uka and their incredible $56 omakase experience and signed up immediately. If you make reservations at 5 PM, you get a free bottle of sake. I'm not a huge drinker so I didn't really go there with the expectation to get a lot of sake and I assumed because I was a solo diner that I probably didn't qualify for it anyway. However, as soon as we got seated, Kyle came out with a clay bottle of the house, sake and poured some for me generously. The rest of the experience is a little bit of a tipsy blur, but let's just say the sake was pouring, and the sushi pieces were coming in one after another. We started with the house marinated salmon, which was beautifully briny and on a bed of some nice textural noodles and kelp, which I really enjoyed. The Toro topped with truffle mushrooms was absolutely divine. I'm never too crazy about the firmer cuts of fish, but even those were absolutely outstanding here. Everybody was having a really wonderful time and I deeply enjoyed talking to Kyle and Queena during service. They are such bright and wonderful young adult adults and I feel like in an establishment like this you really need that energy. Give those two a raise immediately!! I also ordered the add-on luxe piece that had Toro, wagyu, foie gras and uni. It came like a little Nori taco and was absolutely divine and totally worth the extra $25. You also get a discount if you pay in cash which I did, so if you are heading here, you should definitely take advantage of that. Thanks again for lighting up my Tuesday evening and I will definitely be back with company next time to this fantastic establishment !! read more

Uka omakase is a spot that completely blew us away. From the moment we sat down, the hospitality was amazing...our waiter and chef were both so friendly, patient, and took the time to explain every single piece to us. They made the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal. What we also loved is that for an omakase spot in the city, the value is honestly incredible. A fresh 16-course omakase for around $56 is almost unheard of, especially with this level of quality. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh and literally melted in your mouth. You can really tell how much care goes into each course, and the experience felt way more high-end than the price point. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to, we already want to try the VIP 18-course counter experience. read more

Food (5/5): Solid and fresh Omakase with a 16 course for $56 deal. The price is good but be aware they tack on a 25% automatic gratuity. Most of the cuts were melt in your mouth and amazing. Service (4/5): Good service and it's interesting that most of the chefs were decked out in designer clothes. The automatic 25% is a bit bothersome but the staff were helpful and we had no issues. Ambiance (5/5): Upscale decorated interior. In addition to the staff wearing designer, there were also rolex wall clocks and other overpriced flashy stuff around the restaurant. Interesting design choice but made the restaurant stand out. read more

Really great and friendly service - the ambiance and all the details in the restaurant are so well done. The plates and glassware are very pretty - note the Hermes dish ware is only for VIP hahah. The General Admission section was really loud with guests yelling and music playing but again the service is great if that's the ambiance you're looking for. I dined with 2 friends and got the $56 omakase - we also got some sake to share. It was an okay experience fish wise. Personally the eel was a little dry and the wagyu wasn't melt in your mouth, as some examples. I did like the sea bream and the sashimi appetizer as part of the courses! read more

This place has been on my tiktok for a while now but we finally got the chance to come by for our friend's birthday! They have two different bookings - VIP (18 courses) and regular which I believe is 16 courses but I think the menu is different. The VIP course is upstairs and the regular course is downstairs. The place itself is fairly spacious and the staff was super friendly and nice. They also have Hermes dishware which was a nice added touch! For sake - they have a decent list; separate by both sweet and dry sake. If you are a fan of sweet sake - I highly recommend the Yuzu one which was super tasty. The pacing was really good here and the fish was also very fresh. There was a good variety of different items - they also did not have a lot of torched items which I really liked as well. This isn't one of those omakase experience where the chief chats with you the whole time. But they did give us free shots of sake since it was our friend's birthday. Highly recommend checking out this omakase place - it is mid-tier affordable; the VIP course was $99 per person which isn't bad at all. read more

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Made a Resy Reservation for 5PM reservation for this VIP 18 course, we were seated on their 2nd floor. Lucky us it was private , just the chief and a staff member. This is probably the most reasonable priced Omakase, the fish were fresh, their sashimi selection was excellent loved their seasoned salmon sashimi and the toro pieces the most. Each nigiri was very good fish to rice ratio was perfect. The service was really something else , maybe it was due to being the only guests in the vip counter but we had a lot of fun interacting with the chief and the staff. Overall I would recommend and would definitely come back. read more

$56 for 1 appetizer, 1 soup, 12 nigiri, 1 hand roll, and 1 dessert. They were also having a special deal where you get free homemade sake if you have a 5 pm or 8 pm reservation. The omakase was fresh and good quality. The salmon with foie gras was our favorite piece of the night by a mile -- it melted in my mouth! The servers were also kind and attentive. For just $56, I felt that this was an amazing omakase deal with good quality fish and would definitely come back here again! read more

NYC's only Hermès omakase! Serving a full VIP 18-course experience on Hermès tableware--yes, even the teapot and decor. From delicate bites to premium selections, every course felt elevated, both in taste and presentation. The attention to detail made this one stand out from your typical omakase. They also offer more affordable options, starting from $38-$56, but we tried the $99 premium and it was 100% worth it. Easily one of the best I've had in NYC!

56$ for 16 sushi courses (12 nigiri) was an absolute steal. You are seated at the sushi counter depending on what course you make your reservation for. Service was quick - we missed the names of the pieces, but we left happy. The vanilla ice cream lightly sprinkled with some tiny crunch brought the meal together at the end. The unagi nigiri was one of my personal favorites of the night. For the price, we were very happy - notably if you are looking for top tier sushi, this probably isn't the place for you. read more

In my quest to try all the affordable omakases in the city, I found Uka omakase and was excited to try it out. Be sure to make a reservation! Our timing was full and it was right when they opened. We went during their "happy hour" timing and so got a discount on a bottle of sake. They are also very generous and offer a complimentary cup or two of their house sake to the guests. Overall, we weren't that blown away by the experience. We liked the variety of flavors and topping choices for some of the pieces. The fish also seemed decent quality. Our reservations lie in inconsistencies in the final sushi pieces that were served, and also the sizes of the pieces. I've been to a handful of budget omakase places now and this place had by far the smallest pieces. The size of the fish also had a lot of variety, even between the sizes served to our party. We had a lady next to us with a bright light who was filming and photographing all the pieces and we definitely felt that her pieces seemed a bit larger at times. In summary, Uka omakase wasn't bad but I think I would recommend other omakase places first. read more

$56 for 16 courses? Literally the best omakase deal ever. Uka Omakase somehow does affordability without compromising on quality. My top 3 items were definitely the hand roll, the Chutoro nigiri and the Otoro nigiri. All of the items were super good and it was very well paced. 100/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to NYC p.s they also have a $38, 10-course lunch option too! read more

I came here with 2 friends on a Wednesday night and they were packed! They currently offer $56 for 16 courses, which includes 2 apps, 12 nigiri pieces, a hand roll, and a dessert. The sushi was very fresh and served in a unique way. I especially loved the otoro piece with chutoro on top (tuna on tuna!) and the salmon piece with foie gras because I just love foie gras. The wait staff was also really nice and even gave us a free shot of house sake during the meal. We also got a bottle of the lychee sake to share and it paired well with the sushi. What really impressed me was the cups they served the sake in. At the bottom of the cup was a lotus flower and it was so pretty! Such a nice touch to the overall vibe and ambience. The dessert was also a nice finish to the meal. I love black sesame and this was a kind of sherbet (so less creamier and icier than ice cream) but still very flavorful! I'd definitely come back again because it's so affordable and the fish is such good quality. - Steelhead trout appetizer - Miso soup - Sea bream - Miso cod - Mackerel(?) with yuzu - Akami (bluefin tuna) with mushroom - Chutoro with wasabi - Otoro with chutoro on top (double tuna!) - Branzino with spicy garlic - Ima aji (mackerel) with seaweed paste - Scallop with yuzu sauce - Salmon with foie gras - A5 wagyu - Unagi (eel) - Chutoro hand roll - Black sesame sherbet - Yuki Nigori lychee sake read more

I'm always a little skeptical of restaurants that open and instantly blow up on social media, but when something is good, it's good--and Uka Omakase was fantastic. Dining without a reservation is still nearly impossible, but my party of five got lucky walking at 5pm (first dinner seating) on a Wednesday. We managed to get the only open seats, as the rest of the place was fully booked. We each ordered the classic 16-course omakase set, which included a sashimi appetizer, soup, 13 pieces of nigiri, and green tea ice cream for dessert. Every course struck the perfect balance between bold and subtle flavors. The fish ranged from salmon to toro to madai, but each piece was incredibly fresh and savory. For drinks, we ordered a bottle of the yuzu sake, which was aromatic, light, and refreshing. Service was excellent across the board, from the host to the sushi chef to the servers. We even received complimentary sake during the meal. At $56 per person, the classic 16-course set is an amazing value considering the quality and service. If you're looking for great omakase at a reasonable price, Uka can't be beat. read more

I brought my friend here to celebrate her birthday and ordered the 16-course omakase. We were the first customers and arrived early, but service began exactly at 5 pm. The pacing felt a bit rushed -- we finished everything, including reorders, within an hour. Most of the fish was quite good, but the scallop had a strange off-taste that stood out. They offer two shots of sake per person, which was a nice touch. The miso soup and dessert count as two of the 16 courses, leaving 14 pieces of sushi/sashimi. Since it was a birthday, I expected a small complimentary gesture like many restaurants usually offer, so it was a bit disappointing. However, they did put a birthday candle on the dessert as requested. For $56, the 16-course omakase is pretty good in price, but the overall experience had both highlights and some areas that could be improved. read more

If you're new to omakase and don't want to necessarily ball out, Uka Omakase is a perfect entry point. We ordered the 16 course, $56 per person deal. The fish was creatively crafted-will clarify that it's actually 14 courses of fish, 1 being the miso soup and the remaining being the matcha fig dessert. They do quite a lot of torching and sauces so if you solely just want the taste of fish, this might not be for you. Wouldn't itch to come back as the location is a bit odd-next to the Roosevelt Island tramway, but have recommended to friends this spot as I'm sure the price point will hike up over time. read more

Tried the $56 omakase at Uka Omakase and thought it was a solid value for NYC. The atmosphere is lively rather than ultra-formal--everyone sits at one long counter and you can watch the chefs work, which makes the experience feel relaxed and approachable. Highlights for me were the aburi cod with a slight caramelized sweetness, the melt-in-your-mouth chutoro, and the richer otoro. The rice balance stayed consistent throughout, and the pacing felt comfortable. Overall, a good option if you want quality fish without the pressure of a super quiet, high-end omakase setting. read more

My bestie got us a VIP experience. The fish was perfectly fresh and delicious. The price is reasonable. One star off for the guest next to us who was a regular and was very loud and obnoxious. The staff knew them and shouted across the room to the and grabbed shots with them. While it's nice to be friendly with the guests, it was very loud and obnoxious - especially for a VIP experience. I did speak with the staff afterwards and they were very understanding about it. read more

First of all, I must shoutout Jade, Ken 1, and the homie Jason. They are what makes this place so special. Jason gave us some free shots despite us being Warrior fans in Knicks territory. Everything was extraordinary, I still dream about this place. My absolute favorite was the Otoro, I had never had anything like it. Honestly, everything was out of the world, Ken 1 is a master. All the chefs be cooking it up in full designer just so much aura. The ambiance was great as well. It is very dim lighting and you sit around the bar area. It furthermore elevates this experience, i was transported. This was a night I will never forget. Didn't get to grab many pics, it was just that good. read more

I absolutely loved this place. I've lived in NYC for a while and am an avid fine diner who's had my fair share of omakases -- but Uka Omakase completely blew me away. At $56 per person for 16 courses, it's an incredible value. Every bite was fresh, balanced, and full of flavor -- honestly better than several Michelin-starred omakases I've tried. The staff was also super accommodating. I don't like wasabi or ginger, and they easily adjusted my courses without issue. Service was professional and fast, and the ambiance was clean and minimalist, letting the food shine. I would definitely go back. If you're looking for your first omakase experience, this is a fantastic place to start since it's unassuming, affordable, and absolutely delicious while sparing your wallet. read more

I did the VIP, which leads you up to small counter upstairs. Everything was great but I was a little peeved by what me and my husband coined "Uka math". It is not 18 courses, but rather they strangely count multiple components on 1 plate as multiple courses, which is so strange. So say if you had tuna, Ikura and caviar in a bowl they count that as three courses, which is incredibly ridiculous. The saving grace was that it was incredibly delicious haha! But don't come here expecting to get served 18 courses. Fresh was fresh and flavors on point. I had a great time. My favorite was the fatty tuna and caviar nigiri and the kinki (which I ordered as an add on). Minus the deceit I thought it was a decent time read more

Great tasting sushi for an affordable omakase experience ($56). I liked the different flavors and textures that are paired with the different bites of fish, and the bites are rather large.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 6 Another new sushi omakase in Manhattan trying to make a name for itself, and I really came very close to giving it 4 stars due to its incredible value - 16 courses for $56. However, I landed on 3.5 stars and the quality of food ultimately was the tie breaker that decided the final rating. What about the SHARI (rice)? I always start with the sushi rice. If that sucks, then it's going to be a long night. Upon the first bite, I was a bit weary because it felt a bit mushy. However, as the meal progressed, the rice got consistently better. It's not top notch by any means, but it certainly was good enough compared to many sushiya in this price range. I would say that SHARI was a 6.5/10 overall. What about the NETA (Topping)? THE GOOD - The trio of Maguro (Bluefin Tuna) were actually quite good, especially the extra fatty Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna) with wasabi stem. Other good pieces included the smoked Sawara (Spanish Mackerel), buttery sweet Hotate (Scallop) and the super tender Unagi (Fresh Water Eel). THE BAD - Well, I would say that a few cuts of fish, including Hamachi (Yellowtail), Madai (Sea Bream), and Shima Aji (Striped Jack) were too mushy compared to what I'm use to texturally. Also, the Uni (Sea Urchin) on top of the Botan Ebi (Spotted Prawn) was fishy and not great. Oh yeah, a bland bowl of Miso Soup should not count as a course. Lol THE UGLY - Why does every new sushi omakase restaurant (Uka Omakase included) believe they need to enhance every piece of sushi with unique toppings or sauces? Please don't cover up the natural beauty of the seafood. What ever happened to letting the fish shine with simply a nice swipe of aged soy sauce. It is still the best accompaniment imho. Bottom line, I would rate the NETA about 6/10. As for the decor, it is a very long room with two sushi bars on the first floor. The sushi bar upfront is very long with 15 seats and 3 chefs serving the patrons, while the back sushi bar is for 6 guests and 1 chef. The space is sleek with black marble counters, dark and moody with mini chandeliers. I didn't get to see the upstairs private room, but it serves a $99 VIP 18 course omakase. Our chef, Tommy, was a quiet guy and kept to his job. Can't blame him. He's only got 1 hour and 15 minutes to serve all the food. Btw, our server was pretty attentive as well. Lastly, I met the owner Xin and he is quite friendly. Regardless of the harsh words I may have said here, I do wish him and the restaurant the best of luck. I might come back for the VIP meal and update this review if necessary. read more

Uka Omakase is an absolute gem. The service and atmosphere were ON POINT from the moment we walked in. The staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming without ever making us feel rushed. The food was incredible. Every piece of fish was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with toppings that elevated each bite without overpowering it. At $56 for 16 courses, this has to be the best deal in the city. It truly feels like a steal for the quality you get. I have tried a number of budget omakase spots in NYC and this was by far the best value and experience. Everything from the pacing to the presentation felt well-executed and nothing seemed cut just to meet the price point. I cannot wait to come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an excellent omakase experience without breaking the bank. read more

Uka Omakase delivered such a memorable experience. We did the 16-piece omakase course, and each piece felt intentional, balanced, and beautifully presented. Some of my favorites were the fatty tuna, the piece topped with foie gras, and the eel. What really stood out was how the fish was flavored. Several pieces had different accents like citrus zest, a hint of lime, or a touch of chili, which added depth and made each bite feel unique without overpowering the quality of the fish. We also enjoyed refreshing cocktails and really delicious sake, which paired perfectly with the courses. The overall experience felt elevated, creative, and well thought out from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Uka Omakase for a special night out, a date, or anyone looking for a refined sushi experience in NYC. read more

Solid omakase at a solid price $56 pretax and tip. Everything was good and they are a good omakase option in midtown/midtown east.

They also poured a few glasses of house sake for all the patrons, which was a nice touch. read more
