Fuku is the omakase who goes to eat after work without going bankrupt

The place was pretty empty that day, and the chatty young chef ended up telling me all sorts of stories—about where he sources the fish, how he preps them, even his time working at Sekai. It felt like an immersive omakase experience, and I walked out feeling so relaxed! 😌 He said I got lucky—weekends are usually packed, so you gotta book ahead. Let’s talk food: ✨ The chef’s super generous with portions, and the fish quality is solid for the price. The toro hand roll was so rich and fatty, but the thin scallion shreds cut through the heaviness perfectly 🦞. The sweet shrimp were huge, thick slices 🍤. There was this dish with uni + salmon roe + truffle—the uni was so sweet! And the seared sea eel? So good 🐠. Even the white fish like shima aji and kinmedai were prepped beautifully. ✨ What I loved most was their seasoning style—they really let the fish shine. They stick to soy sauce or yuzu touches, and one dish even leaned on smoky flavor alone. I’m not big on over-the-top, fancy tricks, so this was right up my alley 👌. ✨ Downsides? The place is a bit noisy, and the counter’s high, so you can’t see all the chef’s handiwork. But hey, I loved it so much I ordered takeout from Ricepo the next day—huge portions for，perfect for a quick craving 🥡. ✨ Sushi Nikko ✨ 28-17 Jackson Ave 2nd Flr, Queens, NY 11101 That’s it for today’s share—hope I made you hungry!
