Probably one of the best omakase experiences I've ever had, even including Japan. High quality fish and craftsmanship from the lead chef, staff was attentive.
I been to this sushi bar many times. I even recommended this place to many of my sushi friends. My last visit was a disaster. I like akagai and nodoguro. Even though all other customers were served with these two choices, I was not offered with akagai and nodoguro in front of my eyes. I felt this is a discrimination. I was so upset and i left in the middle of omakase in this place. Chef needs to serve omakse fairly among all customers, except for dietary restrictions. He should not change the menu depending on a customer. Unable to have akagai before my eyes, I do not think I may be back again after this bad experience here. I left very sad and unhappy here.
夫婦でマンハッタンのおまかせの店を数えきれない位訪れましたが、そんな我々が今一番美味しく楽しくゆっくりとお寿司を楽しめるお店です。 「日本人が握るのが一番美味い」と頭のどこかにあった古い考え、つまりは偏見が、こちらで粉々に叩き砕かれ消え去りました。 店主・ジョンさんを育てた師匠(ひろ久のご主人)に脱帽します。これから先も大いに期待しております。 (追記:一月ということで、おせち風一品も頂きました。呑んでみたかった獺祭Blueを頂きながら、終始笑顔が止まりませんでした笑)
Best omakase we’ve had in the city ❤️❤️❤️ very cozy friendly ambience - already thinking about coming back again!
