Joji - The Michelin Omakase That Left Me Stuffed!
Hidden inside Grand Central Terminal, this omakase experience was unlike any other—it's the first time I've ever had to wave off the chef because I was too full! 😱 The two girls next to us asked for less rice halfway through, and I proudly told my friend, "We don't need to do that—no omakase in NYC has ever filled me up!" ...Famous last words. The portions here are MASSIVE! 🍣 The Meal Breakdown: ・4 Appetizers ・12 Pieces of Nigiri ・Unagi Don (Eel Rice Bowl) ・Toro Hand Roll ・Shizuoka Melon 🍈 I barely took any photos (too busy respectfully devouring the food), but trust me—every bite was luxurious. ✨ Highlights: ・Ingredients? Flawless. Michelin-starred premium everything—truffles, uni, wagyu, you name it. ・Presentation? Stunning. Each dish was artfully plated. ・Chef Chat? Friendly but brief. Both chefs were Fujianese (so yes, technically another "Fumakase" experience 😂). Rumor has it the head chef trained at Masa...but then again, who in NYC hasn't claimed that? 💰 The Verdict: ・Delicious? 100%. ・Worth the price? Eh... At $400+ per person, this is not for the faint of wallet. Come only if you're ready to splurge hard. 📍 Joji 1 Vanderbilt Ave, New York, NY 10017 💗 Like | ⭐️ Save | 🙋🏻♀️ Follow for more NYC food adventures!
