Amazing Japanese omakase in the heart of New York City. The chef was very attentive and my friend still wasn’t quite full at the end, so the chef made sure he was with a few extra pieces! Such great service and attention to detail!

This is Omakase perfection. I’m super critical of omakase. It’s often a very expensive way to relinquish control and be served your dinner one piece at a time. I’ve had more bad omakase than good. This is one of the two best I’ve ever had. Every bite from start to finish was perfection. As expensive as this was, Joji does justify the price. The Toro and Uni are abundant and the Caviar is not rationed. If you are going to do a high end omakase in NYC, I strongly recommend Joji. In my opinion, they deserved at least one more Michelin star than they got.

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had in NYC, which being here for 24 years, is saying a lot. They definitely deserve their Michelin star. Such a unique experience being part of a seating. The food was to die for. So fresh, so incredible. The service was spot on. Words can't describe the experience. Awesome. Dietary restrictions: They ask you if you are allergic to anything beforehand. You can't be a vegan here. Pescatarian, yes, but this is all about the fish pieces.

What can I say about what I experienced? Coming from the background I had, I made a promise to myself that if I returned to New York, I'd treat myself to a special experience. Joji was a holiday gift to my inner child. The space is very clean and contemporary looking, with nice wood accents. From the person at the entrance, to servers and sushi chefs, all of the service was polite (and I know not everyone claims to experience this but I did), warm and kind. I read online it's impolite to try to talk to sushi chefs while they're working so I was pleasantly surprised when our sushi chef (and Owner, Executive Chef George Ruan) engaged me in conversation! It was fun to learn his favorite fish, and then try it! Perhaps it is better I didn't know I was served by the owner of the restaurant until I read about it later, as I may have been intimidated. He's so kind and humble, and takes the craft of preparing each dish with care. My family didn't want to join me, so I went by myself. I was next to 3 couples, and while it was nice to see people on dates, I do think they seems distracted and may have missed out on experiencing the full flavors--just my opinion. In hindsight, I was glad I went alone to savor everything in quiet contemplation, at my own pace. We joked that my favorite fish wasn't available, and as I took the next bite I said "maybe this is my new favorite!", and smiled. Perhaps it may seem like "well, obviously", but it was really the most flavorful and soft fish I've ever eaten. Some of the textures felt like they melted as I ate. My favorite bites (seasonal picks so it may be different fish served for you): Toro tataki Aka ebi caviar toast Shiro ebi Uni caviar Saba Chutoro What I enjoyed most, though, was how attentive everyone was as I experienced delicious bites. It's the small details/considerations like replacing ginger or finger wipes that I really enjoy in addition to the meal. Matt was the server for drinks and I watched as he went from person to person ensuring that our cups were full with whatever we ordered. I think because I was by myself, he checked in on me a little more which was nice. I do feel bad I was a little overwhelmed with the final bill I could have tipped (a lot) better. Next time I'm bringing family and maybe friends, and we'll tip a lot more. In the meantime, I hope my review drives business more! Recommendation: have a light breakfast and/or lunch and leave room because you will be satisfied by the end of the Omakase experience..something told me to show up hungry and I'm glad I did! If you plan to have tea and/or drinks (and I do recommend either), you can expect to pay $350 give or take. On its own for lunch, Omakase experience is $275. I don't know if I will ever crave sushi again, unless it's Omakase with a highly skilled sushi chef. Dietary restrictions: They need 73 hours notice

Worth the price of admission. One of the best Omakase experiences that I’ve had to date.

My friend and I were considering eating omakase for lunch, but there are actually not many options for lunch, and we ended up going to Joji. The lunch set was around 275 before tax but we added some daily specials. Service and atmosphere were good, but the food was mediocre. The scallop tasted not that fresh… somewhat bitter. I can’t remember anything standing out to me for that meal, but I think it was an OKAY experience.

Next level sushi backed by Daniel Boulud is a triple threat with food, wine and service coming together for a fantastic Omakase experience. Don't miss.
