Kyuubi Omakase

Amazing food in a nice low key restaurant in the East village. It's imperative to get there on time Mouth watering sushi. The Otoro Fatty Tuna was torched and sprinkled with gold dust and caviar.Since it was my birthday, they made me a special sushi dish with a candle. Simply wonderful!

Omakase set included 1 appetizer, 11 nigiri, 1 handroll at the end.My favorites were the Madai (sea bream) nigiri, the Otoro caviar (fatty tuna topped with caviar). SO much flavor with the Otoro!, and the Sake (King Salmon, that had a spicy topping). I was really impressed with the majority of the nigiri pieces, and there were none that I disliked! I'm not usually a fan of sea urchin but their Botan Uni (shrimp/sea urchin) nigiri was actually delicious and a great texture. Service - We were surprised that we were the only diners that evening on a Thursday night. We had good service. There was one sushi chef and one other staff member who checked in on us to see if we wanted drinks or any add-ons. The sushi chef was working FAST (almost too fast), because we were done with our meal and out of there after 32 minutes after being seated! I wished the sushi chef had worked a teeny bit slower, so we were able to savor each of the pieces more, and spend more time there overall. I tried to talk to the sushi chef a bit, as I've had great conversations with other sushi chefs in the past, but this chef wasn't as talkative- that's ok!Ambiance - I'd call this a quaint omakase restaurant that has only counter seating. (I can't say it's too distinctive from other omakase restaurants!)

Absolutely stellar omakase experience. Place only has like 16 seats and we were the only 8 in there on a Saturday night. Super great service and all the bites were exceptional. Super great value at $68 for 13 "courses" and we went for some add-ons as well.Love it. Easy reservation and really top overall birthday dinner.

I always love coming here it's one of my favorite lowkey sushi in the city. The staff is always kind and consistently updating the menu. It's always a 10 out of 10

Goood sushi. Good services. I really like the menu. It was a good price and the location was super cute with cute drawing. The server explained the sushi really well. Had a good yuzu drink. 10/10 recommend this place

My friend and I stumbled upon Kyuubi and their $68 omakase in East Village and decided to go day of. This restaurant is brand new, so at 8 pm, I was one of only 4 patrons, making for an extra intimate experience.I think there are some kinks to work out, making for a bit of an imbalanced experience. My favorite piece was the unagi, topped with foie gras and truffle. My friend deemed the truffle overpowering the others, but I'm always less of a fish purist and really enjoy multiple flavors and textures paired together -- and it works in this case. On the second piece, the chef applied wasabi a little too liberally, and after my eyes pooled, the chef took note the reduced the amount. The otoro caviar arrived with a flashy display of gold dazzled across the dish. The chef was sweet and gave me an extra spritz for me to record. Sadly, I pulled out a cartilage or thin bone chip as I went through the otoro.The final piece was the toro hand roll, which fell flat. It was a bit bland and came across as mushy fish. I also was surprised they didn't end the omakase experience with a sweet treat -- luckily there are ample dessert spots in East Village to satisfy that craving, but I think I would've taken dessert over this toro hand roll.

Amazing and very fresh food and great staff. Very affordable omakase, highly recommended!

Kyuubi Sushi Omakase is a hidden gem! The food is INCREDIBLE and at $68 for 13 courses the value is also unmatched. The service was great. I loved being able to see all the dishes being prepared in real time. Cannot wait to return!

We had the most delicious omakase meal. The fish was such high quality. We enjoyed every piece (usually at more expensive places there's always one or two we dislike). Our sushi chef (Ethan) and host (Zoe) were attentive and friendly. They shared with us where the fish was sourced from and answered every question. Overall, what a delightful meal at a great value. As an anniversary treat, they gave us extra fish with a candle (much preferred to a dessert). Can't wait to go back.

The ambiance is unpretentious, the staff friendly, and the food exceptional. The principle of elegance is evident in every bite. A perfect meal.We will be back regularly.
