Sushi Ikumi

Came in for dinner recently for my wife's birthday and we loved it. All of the courses were delicious and looked beautiful on the plate. This felt like a special, high end experience without the insane prices of some of the Michelin star omakase in Manhattan (although, to be clear, this still was by no means a cheap meal).I would recommend this to anyone who's looking to go out for a special occasion or who's looking for omakase that's a bit more affordable. Definitely a somewhat hidden gem right in the heart of SoHo.

The fish selection was good at Sushi Ikumi. If you prefer raw fish in your omakase, this is the place for you. There were 4 appetizers and 12 nigiri, dessert. They were all very fresh and prepared very well by the chef. The dinnerware was also very pretty with the sushi together.We loved all the fish selection but if I have to neat pick, I think the rice was under cooked, and the chef was a bit heavy on the soy sauce. I would recommend asking the chef to be light on the soy sauce.The ambiance and service were great. They were very attentive and polite. It was a pleasure to eat here.The price is about $240 pp.

Fabulous sushi omakase experience at $220pp. I came in late September with a group of 8 for my sister's birthday. We booked the 8PM seating and it turned out to be a private dinner since there were so many of us (10-seat counter)! The service was phenomenal. Chef Jeong was very hospitable and a wizard with the knife.That being said... If you're looking for a fast-casual experience or sushi pieces that pile on uni, caviar or wagyu, this is not the place. But if you appreciate a more delicate and intricate touch with high quality ingredients, then come to Sushi Ikumi. Not all omakase is the same, which is good, because sometimes you want different things. For Ikumi, I loved that there were a lot of silver-skinned fish or hikarimono. Every piece was also presented beautifully. Till this day, I still think about this meal from time to time. One of our friends actually returned for another dinner within 2 weeks of our visit. I think that for sushi lovers who want to have an omakase experience within this price range, this is a superb option that is not often talked about.

The courses were generally good, as was the service. I found that I left more full than I usually do from omakase places, which was a plus. The service was also good - nice pace and they were very kind about letting us try a number of different sakes until we settled in the bottle we wanted. Also loved the cute sake glass selection you got to choose from.The food was generally pretty good. My favorite dish was the first course, which was a lobster and egg dish. The fish was okay but I was disappointed that there were no salmon, Arctic char, or scallop pieces, which are generally my favorite. I also didn't love that there were so many fishy mackerel-type dishes, which I usually do not like. If I'm being very picky, the uni was tiny in size, the Ebi was a little off color and taste, and the miso soup was not great (had a weird bitter taste).We were celebrating a birthday so they put a candle in our dessert, which was thoughtful. Overall, not bad. Just wish they would modify the sushi selection to include scallop and salmon or Arctic char!

My bf took me here for our anniversary back in June! We were debating between two types of sake to get and the Chef offered us samples of both! So kind. (We decided on the Born Gold, which was smooth) Their sake glasses and carafe was beautiful!I loved that the chef cut all the fish in real time, it was amazing to watch. All the fish was fresh and delicious. This time around, a lot of the pieces (aka more than one haha!) were more 'fishy' than I like. I typically don't like mackerel, gizzard shard, etc. But these pieces were okay considering I don't like them to start. I do like that the Chef makes the fish stand out on its own. No extra sauces or garnishes needed. Oh also loved how the ginger was sliced a little thicker rather than the typical thinly sliced version.We ended the meal with some ice cream. Chef also prepared a little dessert plate with a candle to celebrate our anniversary. Lovely experience!

Husband bought me here for my birthday dinner. We sat for the first seating and realized we were the only ones there. I was skeptical at first wondering why there was no one else. However, after eating the courses it was very different than the other basic omakase places in a good way. As we were the only 2 people there, the atmosphere felt a bit awkward as it was too quiet in there and the chef did not bother interacting with us either. For around $200 a person before tax and tips, it was a decent amount of serving size. I was very full for a girl.

My husband took me here for my birthday on a Saturday evening. He told me reservations were always booked so he waited until 12am two weeks prior and scored the only reservation available! We went back in April and the prices were 180$/pp but it looks like the prices have gone up since then. The place is pretty small tucked away in the middle of Soho. It had great ambiance and it was very clean. They have about 10 or so seats and we all started at the same time. This was hands down our favorite omakase experience so far (we've been to a bunch of others in NYC)! They served special cuts of sashimi based on what was in season. Everything was so DELICIOUS! Service was 5/5 - they made sure our water cups never went empty and always asked if we wanted another bottle of sake. The entire dinner took about 2.5 hours but we loved every minute of it! I don't like those omakase experiences where they rush you out right when the hour ends and you end up walking out so hungry even after paying 150$/pp. Chef Jon also gave us a special dessert for my birthday! :) Highly recommended this place and will definitely go back!!!

Authentic sushi experience, strip Jack tastes fantastic, uni is sweet. Chief arranged everything really well.

For the $150 lunch option, 9 nigiri + a couple hand rolls + soba, starter, and dessert. Some interesting, non typical pieces (some type of white clam) as well as a few that were on the more mackerel-y, salty, side. The mackerel hand roll was, in particular, a bit strong in flavor and I could see why some diners wouldn't enjoy. Overall, great quality and technique (and good value in the current landscape). Service was also very good and non cloying. Chef and waitress both speak Japanese.
