Best omakase in the states!!! You can get the same quality omakase as the $$$$ ones in manhattan for a tiny fraction of the price. From SF, LA to NYC, haven’t found any omakase that beats the quality per price here! The pictures are from the premium 14-piece omakase set. :)
Omakase at Sake Kawa is a must. Alex is always personable and provides the highest quality fish and ingredients. My family and I have been frequenting here for at least 3 years. The friends that we bring for the first time is always pleased after the meal. MUST get the Kumamoto oysters to start before the omakase. Thank me later :) Edit 02/23/2024 I've added more photos from my most recent omakase. Please note, uni is one of my favs, so some pieces will have uni on top which would be additional to the $90 Omakase option. Me and Alex are pretty well acquainted now since I go there somewhat frequently. Quality has not changed since my last review. Just leaving this review since I took more photos and the photos speak for itself.
Omakase was amazing, congrats to the chef and thank you for your warm welcome! We’ll be back!
This hidden spot in Astoria deserves so much more recognition for its omakase. Not only is Chef Alex so thoughtful in his preparation, but the fish is so fresh and delicious. Chef Alex is so passionate about each piece he serves, and has created such a wonderfully unique menu. The price point is so fair for the quality and service. I could not recommend this place more, I will definitely be back.
Amazing place, the Omakase was amazing and the toro was delicious. The chef Alex was very nice and told us where every fish came from. Kid-friendliness: My autistic son was never looked down upon and Alex talked to him the whole time
I moved to Astoria 4 years ago and since then i would come here and order take out all the time to the point that one of the servers would recognize my voice on the phone. She was the best! Attention was awesome but since covid happened I stopped eating out. Last year 2023 around jan-feb I decided to come back and was excited to show my husband this place. Just to be served like we were trash. The lady literally throw the placemat and chopsticks at us and also dropped the menu. When i would try to talk to her she would walk away. I left right away. I don’t know what happened to the other lady who used to worked there but they need to bring her back:( I didn’t left a review back then bc i really liked this place but recently I went by to order takeout and im not sure if she is the same server that treated us like that but she for sure was just as rude. This place is awesome and could do way better if they fire the rude servers.
