Omakase By Korami

This is the absolute best omakase I've ever had in the US, YES surpassing Sushi Kashiba in Seattle! I just got back from a trip to Japan ~2 months ago and this place definitely feels like an authentic Japanese sushi spot. Chef Ryan was an absolute DELIGHT. For the price, this place is an absolute STEAL. Top quality fresh fish, impeccably seasoned and prepared. I had to ask my friend "are you sure this is only $89 per person"? Only downside is if you dined with a taller / bigger person / male they'll probably be hungry afterwards with their standard ~15 pieces, but they can always order more! But as a petite 5'2'' asian woman, the serving size was perfect for me! Love, love, love this spot! I plan on coming back here every time I go to NYC a few times a year for work!

My all time favorite restaurant in the world. This cute 10 seat omakase is the perfect spot for any occasion. It is only $89 but the quality of fish is well worth $200+. Everything is fresh and not frozen unlike some other omakase spots in similar price ranges. They rotate a few dishes seasonally which makes it perfect. I cannot stress how good this place is. I literally go here about once a month and every friend I have brought here has loved it. The owner Alan is very kind and gives us free sake and sushi all the time. 10/10.

For my birthday dinner, my friend treated me to Omakase by Korami, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who informed us that we would be seated shortly. Their hospitality set a welcoming tone for the evening.One unique aspect of this spot is that it's BYOB, so we were able to enjoy our own drinks alongside the meal. Every sushi piece served was impeccably fresh and absolutely delicious--there wasn't a single miss. The chef was not only skilled in his craft but also highly engaging, taking the time to introduce each piece and graciously answering any questions we had. His interaction added a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable.I highly recommend Omakase by Korami for a date night, a gathering with friends, or any special occasion. The quality of the food, the intimate setting, and the wonderful service make it a standout choice. We had an amazing time--thank you so much!

What a fun experience! This was my first time trying Omakase with my husband for our wedding anniversary. The restaurant is small but beautiful with very simple decor. The 3 chefs behind the table were friendly and the food was so fresh and delicious. We got there 30 minutes early and they have a few small tables to sit at before or after your dinner reservation to have some drinks.

We came by on New Year's Eve and were running a few minutes late because of the road closures. We were still seated and had an omakase in 45 minutes instead of 60! The restaurant is cozy and probably only fits 10 ppl at a time. My favorite bites were the salmon with foie gras, scallop and seared sable fish. Least favorite was probably the eel, it was a little bit mushy. We also added on one item, can't remember the name but it had uni, caviar and ikura. Service was quick as advertised. Overall a nice and quick meal if that's what you're looking for.

This place is amazing!!! Cannot say better things about it from the people to the food! I've been to a good amount of omakase spots, and this is by far one of my favorites! We made a reservation for 2 at 7pm and were seated on time to start the 15-course meal. We were celebrating a birthday, so we ordered a glass of Champagne and a non-alcoholic Yuzu drink (so good we got 2). All the pieces were so flavorful and fresh, I was looking forward to each piece. They have a variety of seasonings laid out for each piece they serve you. My favorite was the scallop because it was so sweet compared to the fish. During our course, they gave us 2 cups of sake for our birthday celebration, which was so kind of them! At the end of the course, they even whipped out a hand-roll with a candle and the entire bar with customers and staff sang happy birthday. To add onto our course, we tried the uni flight which was super fresh. All the staff members were phenomenal and went above and beyond to make this day special. Their seats for the bar were comfortable and the staff will help push you in since it's a little bit of a tight squeeze. This is a place that'll have a special place in my heart! Can't wait to come back in the future.

My cousin who was visiting from California was craving for sushi and I'm a huge fun of omakase so I booked omakase by Korami. I've been wanting to come here for some time as it's gotten good reviews and it's close to my apt ( with the weather , I'm prone to choose places close to me ). Unfortunately she wasn't feeling well and cancelled but I decided to go solo .They were understanding and accommodating to my request of changing the reservation from 2 to 1. I'm so glad I went, what a find / gem . It's a small cozy place , the layout is open , airy and bright . The place felt inviting , clean., Minimally decorated with 3 chefs who served the delicious pieces ( it got gradually better piece by piece , my favorites were the toro with caviar , salmon with foie , scallop yuzu and the Kobe beef ). Loved the mishmash music selection from abba to Christina Aguilera playing the background . The patrons were a mix of locals and tourists .I will definitely be back , great price point for the quality of sushi ( im all about the fish vs the additives ) and thought they did an excellent job serving good fishes . Seasoned with just enough soy sauce etc . Most importantly, i will be a returning customer as I like the manager , owner and the rest of the staff.

This was my third time doing an omakase and it did not disappoint! My favorite was the waygu beef which I ordered a second round of after our meal ended and asked for truffle salt on top which they happily added for me. The 15 piece omakase plus a bottle of wine, two extra pieces of sushi, tax and tip our total was $320 which I think is very reasonable for omakase in NYC. Wine and beer options are very limited but there are a good amount of sake options and we got a free sake birthday shot!I would not recommend this omakase experience to first timers or anyone looking for a more upbeat experience. The menu does not exactly reflect what the online menu says and we were served some more exotic pieces like monkfish liver (it was delicious), which might be off putting to first timers. This restaurant is very small (about 10-12 seats in the whole restaurant), which I really enjoyed, but would not be good for big groups or anyone looking to get drunk off sake on a night out. Although they did play fun pop music during our meal!The staff was friendly and willing to answer any questions and make any special requests for allergies. I would definitely come back here.

As a first timer at any sort of omakase styled dining, Omakase by Korami has now got me hooked on experiencing different ones!When my boyfriend surprised me by treating us to a dinner here for our anniversary, I didn't know what to expect. But as the huge foodie he is, I knew it was going to be delicious! And it far exceeded anything I could have imagined!Each individual dish had its own flavor and pallette prepared right in front of you by the chefs. Our pieces were prepared with care by the sweet Chef Ben! He made making these incredible pieces look so easy while he spoke with us. It seemed almost like second nature to him!The service staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming as we arrived, constantly checking in on us and even surprising us with sake on the house for our anniversary!My boyfriend has been to several omakases across the globe and after we were done, he had said Omakase by Korami was one of the best experiences both food and attendance wise he's ever had!Thank you for introducing me into the world of omakase! I hope we can be back soon!

Went back to Omakase by Korami for the second time in a month! This time we brought friends. The team was absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home. Some of their staple pieces stayed the same, but about half the omakase was new items. This might be our new favorite omakase spot! They definitely have some of the best value I've seen. The quality is impressive for the price, and the pieces are very generous sizes.
