Maki Kosaka

Like taking a step to Japan! The ambiance is chic and minimal, combined with Japanese aesthetic.I highly recommend booking a reservation, my party and I got lucky that there was room Available at the bar!Our bartender was friendly and gave great reccomendations. I love that they carried yuzu Omai!! I recommend getting the whole bottleI ordered the grab hand roll set, the fish was very fresh and delicious! The hazelnut cookies were light and delicious

Wow, I was blown away by Maki Kosaka. I saw a post about their Grab Handroll set on Instagram, and the fish looked super high quality, so I decided to give it a try. It is very easy to get a reservation at this spot, which I can understand since the bar area is huge for an omakase-style setup! There are two sections for seating, and I think each could probably seat 20 people. Service was super friendly as well.The Grab Handroll Set ($45) did not disappoint! I loved the concept of giving us a little packet of seaweed-- the seaweed was super crunchy during the entire meal! The fish-to-rice ratio was impressive, and I loved that the quality of the fish wasn't overpowered by their sauce or ingredient pairings. You could also taste the fish's freshness since it is such a large component of the roll. My favorites were the Tuna and Red Snapper, but everything was superb. The price was also great for what you're getting. I will absolutely be back!!

2 out of 5 stars for the two out of five grab roll pieces that I enjoyed. The middle 3 were insanely saucy - dripping out and I could barely taste the fish. It was crazy how heavy handed they were. Don't go here if you're Asian and appreciate subtle flavors. It felt like they were trying to mask the fish. Also service was very slow and they took 20 min to seat us after our reservation.

every single part of this experience is 5 stars. Can't recommend enough. Food is above and beyond, service is intimate and attentive, ambiance is like stepping into a pristine peaceful slice of Japan in the middle of NYC

Recently dined at this restaurant offering the unique concept of a 'grab handroll' where you pick up sushi with seaweed wraps, and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. First off, the waitress was so pleasant and attentive. She checked up on us frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. Also, the restaurant presented with a clean interior and ample space. I opted for the grab handroll set (5 pcs) which was $38. The entire set was so yummy (mouth is watering right now as I'm writing). The only thing is that the set wasn't that filling, so I ordered an additional roll afterwards. Tldr; This place offers a fun and delicious concept on handrolls, exceptional service, and reasonable prices. Will be back!

Definitely the best hand rolls in the city! Make sure to get the Grab Handroll set it's their signature one and was not only so tasty but was a fun way to enjoy it as well!! Our server Hisako was also very sweet and I can't wait to come back :)

Service was alright but food was really mediocre. Honestly not acceptable at this price. Closer to $20 but charging $ per person150 (even accounting for the Valentine's Day premium). The sashimi appetizer was pre-cut/ prepared in advance and close to freezing...the quality is closer to airport sushi bars than a $20 sushi set restaurant. Not exaggerating...

Loved this unique concept (at least new to me) and amazing dining experience! Came here with a friend who had this on her list for a while. We each got the set, and every piece of that set was very delicious. I was full from the set, but she ended up ordering one more so I wouldn't say the set is something that would make you too too full! Service was also very sweet and kept checking up on us because we told her we were on a time crunch! Highly recommend!

Definitely Worth Trying Again: Quick Bites & Great Sushi in NYC! Video here: https://www.instagram.com/circlejujubee?igsh=NHV2MGZyeWxlcnFh&utm_source=qrFound a new favorite sushi spot in NYC! Perfect for grabbing a quick bite with great service and delicious sushi. The eel is by far my favorite--flavorful and just melts in your mouth. Can't wait to go back!

Came in for a late lunch on the weekend. There was plenty of space still when we walked in maybe an hour until closing for lunch service. Ordered the grab handroll set. They serve the nori in a little baggy. It kept the nori fresh and crispy. Each fish was super fresh. Everything was already macerated, so it was hard to tell if the fish was truly tender or if it was just because they were already mushed. However, there was no fishy taste at all to any of the pieces, a good thing. Everything tasted very clean. The hamachi was the most disappointing though. It's usually my favorite fish, and I can tell it from the taste alone usually. However, this one had a really mild flavor that I was debating which piece it could be. Toro with gobi chips was good because of the textural contrast between the tender fish and crispy chip. All the flavor pairings with each piece was really nice. You could see that they possibly use real wasabi because it didn't look completely like paste. I don't think the set is super filling, but it definitely is a good lighter lunch.
