NYC Omakase Review | Sanyuu West 🍣

Recently tried Sanyuu West, an understated omakase spot in Chelsea, and here’s my honest take! 📍 Location & First Impressions 228 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011 Fair warning — this place is easy to miss! The entrance is minimalist (to put it nicely 😅), with no prominent signage. We actually thought it was closed until a nearby doorman pointed it out. The gray-toned facade blends a little too well with the street! 🗓 Reservations & Seating Reservations are required. Even with a booking, we waited a bit for the previous group to finish before being seated all together. We sat at the bar — great for watching the chef work, though it’s a tight, no-frills setup. 💵 Pricing We went with the base omakase at $87 per person (before tax/tip) — seems like prices recently increased. For the amount and quality, it’s fairly reasonable by NYC omakase standards. 🍣 Food & Experience Mostly sushi-based courses Seasoning was subtle, not overpowering Rice had good texture and temperature Pacing was relaxed — no rush between pieces You can add extras based on daily availability 📌 Final Thoughts Sanyuu West is a solid but not mind-blowing omakase experience. It won’t disappoint, but it might not become your top favorite either. A decent option if you're looking for good-value omakase without the hype — just don’t expect dramatic flair or insta-famous presentations. #OmakaseNYC #SanyuuWest #NYCEats #SushiLovers #QuietSpot
