Zen Sushi Omakase

Absolutely delicious. It's a small hole in the wall type of place with limited seating so make sure to get a res! We enjoyed sitting at the bar but they have table options too. Extremely fresh and high quality ingredients makes this a great spot for omakase lovers.This is one of those places where you get there on time and everyone receives the same menu at the same time. The menu changes every week or so. It's also not too terribly expensive for what you get.The chef was very friendly and kind, as well as the staff. We really appreciated the hospitality and food presentation. One of my favorite pieces was the first one which had truffle. The aroma of truffle circulating the room made be very excited to try this one before I even saw it. There was a variety of fish, seafood, and it ended with a steak bite. Very lovely experience with a fantastic menu!

The fish here was spectacular! This place did a good job with seasonings and sauces on each dish--they complemented the fish well but did not overpower. There was not one dish we didn't like! The only thing that was rather disappointing was the ambiance. We read about people's fun omakase experiences where they got to chat with the staff, learn about the sushi, and engage with everyone else around them, but our sushi chef did not talk with us very much and only half the bar was filled when we went. It was pretty quiet inside and we could barely hear him when he was telling us what dish he was serving us. I would go again for the meal but would probably try someplace else for another experience.

15 course omakase is very modestly priced for the quality you get. I've had a lot of omakases recently so this didn't stick out much but the staff is what made this experience unique. Atmosphere is intimate as there's limited counter space.

Food and service always top notch! We have eaten here many times and have never had a bad experience eating any of their menu items!

For $140pp, my friends and I booked a 14 course omakase at Zen Sushi, with all you can drink sake and the entire space to ourselves.The 14 course menu featured a variety of items, many of which I felt were very unique for omakase. For example, they started us off with this delicious yellowtail dish, featuring a couple pieces of sashimi paired with a delicious sauce. Another was the frog muscle?? Some of my other favorites were the wagyu uni caviar piece, toro + truffle piece, and the kingfish piece.The chefs were super patient with us and even let us play our own music. They were super accommodating with any dietary restrictions we had among our group. In the end, they even brought us free mochi ice cream!Overall, this was such an amazing omakase experience - probably the best I've had in the city!

What a fantastic omakase spot. I went with my friend and we loved every single piece of the omakase. We order the extra piece at the end and we got the uni oyster and it was so fresh and delicious.Service was great and friendly and ambiance was super chill and laid back.

3.5 food.Friendly service for lunch. Chef was engaging and sweet. Fast omakase wise not my favorite spot due to the fact that first two courses were sashimi and one course was cooked cod over rice. I'm typically trying to get as many pieces of nigiri as I can so 11 small-ish side pieces made me feel wanting more. $89 is a decent price range and flavor was good with nice pairing of various salt and other flavor enhancements. Favorite piece was Hokkaido uni.

Another new omakase spot and they opened up in the lower east side. The set came with two appetizers, 11 nigiris, and 1 handrail. Some of my favorite pieces includes the shrimp which was super creamy, the toast which had many different layers of flavor, blue fin tuna and chutoro. Overall, really great new addition to the neighborhood..

Great food, nice ambiance, efficient and friendly service. I would definitely recommend and return for a wonderful omakase meal. 10/10

Went for lunch today. 14 tastings for $89 was a deal. The quality of the fish was excellent. The service was excellent and we enjoyed chatting with the sushi chef about his different preparations. Mostly nigiri which we loved. I would definitely go back.
