11 course menu with a variety of meats, vegetables, and seafoods. We liked the shiitake mushroom, waygu, fatty tuna, soft shell crab, and mussel cappuccino! The smoke and fire elevated the presentation of several dishes.
I really liked it. This is my first experience, but it was magical The only thing, I also want to do something extraordinary with the dessert, because we want something more special at the end. If it is possible to do something with yuzu - it would be perfect I also want the light brighter to make the photos even more beautiful
Fantastic omakase spot! I am so impressed by this place. The food was so delicious and prepared well. You get a bit of everything and it’s all so so unique and such a one of a kind experience. I love how small and intimate this place is. They only take small groups so it’s a nice spot for a date night or to catch up with a friend. I was actually quite full at the end, there were several courses I lost count! Service was fantastic and it’s also BYOB so we got a bottle of wine from a wine shop a block away. I really enjoyed the experience and will be back!!
unassuming and untraditional omakase spot in greenpoint , Brooklyn. visited for a friend’s bday party & had an amazing time! the owner was so accommodating & allowed us to bring in sake & cake for the end of the 15 course meal. the food was served in a relatively short amount of time & presentation was beautiful. they have an open kitchen & we can see the whole process of cooking,plating,and serving - it was delightful! The dishes themselves were works of art 3 they were a fusion of different cultures and inspirations. This wasn’t your typical Omakase dinner but you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Loved every part of this experience and definitely will be coming back here.
What an AMAZING experience this was! Luis and the other chefs were very professional and attentive, the food was superb, every single dish was full of flavor and unique. Would definitely recommend this omakase experience!
We had an amazing experience here! We came to celebrate an anniversary and got the sake pairing. The staff were so nice and the pours were very generous. They gave us extra sake tastings, a dessert course for everyone and a shot of Japanese whiskey for everyone to celebrate our anniversary! The food was thoughtful and well executed. There was also good variety amongst the dishes. My only con, which is very minor, would be that the staff was clearly very tired as we came for the last service on a Sunday night so we may not have gotten the full descriptions on some food/sake. It was still very good and would highly recommend especially given the price point.
We've been to Michelin restaurants and u omikase is easily up there with them. Staff was great and felt more like friends than staff. If you are visiting NYC/Brooklyn and are looking for a date this is a good spot. We were able to get a reservation for 4 hours later on a Sunday.
celebrated my birthday dinner here. the food was incredible, every dish was bursting with flavor. the service was stellar, left feeling so full and happy! cannot recommend this place enough.
