Sushi Seki — Restaurant in New York

I wasted significant amount of time with their order for delivery system, postmate. Postmate confirmed my order placement, but there was no progression. I called the restaurant to ask my order, which they didn’t have. I didn’t have time to research another place because my guest would come anytime soon. I was asked to contact postmate, but there is no human contact for any issue. It is a long story and I don’t want to remind all over again, but you should keep in mind that their system (sush seki) seems not working sometime.

I think they serve aged sushi, but taste totally different from Japanese one. If you expect any delicate melting taste of Japanese sushi, forget about this place.

Price was not bad, but their crappy packing embarrassed my hand and costed me for dry cleaning and big tip for the driver. Cheap plastic food containers in the brown back and very dirty plastic bag. The dirty looking thinnest plastic bag was heavily smelled with fish. It is not exaggerating, It filled up the taxi with disgusting fish smell and I almost vomited. I still feel disgust, reminding the smell.

Overall opinion in short, I...

FOOD IS EDIBLE, SERVICE INEDIBLE. Friday evening, December 4th, 2020, tragically, our favorite neighborhood sushi joint Hana was shuttered by the pandemic, so we gave Sushi Seki a whirl. The overall final impression turned out to be: Pricey Sushi Joint. Kind of fancy. Kind of not thrilled by anybody without an Amex Centurion Card. How was the food? The noodles in my soup, judging by taste and texture, were mass produced and had that flat, stale taste of preserved food. The Tempura was fine (almost as good as my little bro cooks at home). And the fish in the Sushi was very chilled (not to be a cynic, but it was highly iced in preparation and served outdoors in circa 51F air) but did not taste like it had turned rotten at all. Service? Let's skip the details: it's the High Rent Manhattan Restaurant Game, Pandemic Version, plates efficiently whisked away, robbing diners of the opportunity to savor their semi-thawed fish. Their meter is...

Decor: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5

Casual setting. We were greeted immediately and they were family friendly. They offered to take our stroller and set it aside. They even had a booster chair for our 3 year old. Service was top notch here and much appreciated.

Food came out fairly quickly. My favorite was the otoro (fatty tuna) paired with fresh wasabi (which is hard to find). Absolutely mind-blowing delicious. That was the highlight of the meal. At $14 per otoro piece, it can be hard to swallow for some. The other items we ordered were eel roll, uni, tamago, soft shell crab roll and black miso chilean sea bass.

I gave the food a 4 out of 5 because the black miso chilean sea bass was unlike all the other black miso chilean sea bass I've had. It was more a black bean chilean sea bass which I was not happy with. It was the least appetizing dish...
