Omakase Ichi — Restaurant in New York

One of the best and most welcoming omakase spots I've been to! The staff are extremely kind and attentive, especially Chef Jimmy who's also one of the owners! He personally guides your omakase experience, and each piece is prepared with deliberate care right in front of you like a performance. Fish was incredibly fresh and each dish was plated and presented beautifully. They also have an amazing open fire charcoal grill that adds a unique touch to the meal.

Would highly recommend this place for any occasion, whether it's a casual night out or a special occasion. The space is minimalist and intimate, which elevates the dining experience. Made fond memories enjoying my meal here while also drinking and talking to the staff! Much love to Jimmy and Wilson for their hospitality and being super welcoming to me...

In the end, the service, creativity, and overall experience made my night unforgettable. Despite my initial hesitation, I would still give them a...

My partner and I had a wonderful experience. I enjoyed watching our chef put so much time, care, and detail into each course, and it built up excitement for each new bite. The food was fresh, flavorful, and each course was designed to keep things interesting and different. Although the presentation of the appetizers weren't necessary with how yummy they were, I appreciated the thought and care that went into putting it all together. The atmosphere was calm and perfect and the decor reminded me of Japan, high quality and classy, yet subtle. The service was very kind, thoughtful, and well timed like a choreography with the sushi chef and when each finished our course. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our...
