“This and Tatsuda (sister restaurants) are my favorite under $100 omakases in the city. Super friendly and comfortable atmosphere, they always play 90’s and 00’s hits and the fish is so fresh!”

replying to u/hahnsolo38: Korami on 50th and 9th is really great. Amazing pieces, really fun environment, good music, the hosts are all very friendly and quick to fill up your drink. Recommend going for the last hour since they will typically let you stay long and party with you. Last time I was there it was ~$150 per person including drinks
“Went there last week. Overrated. Fish weren’t that great.”

replying to u/carnimiriel: We like Omakase by korami in Hell's Kitchen for an under $100 option. It's definitely compact and not much ambiance but the food is good and the staff very friendly.
“Amazing quality for the price and fun, lively chefs!”

replying to u/UltraLuminescence: I personally wasn't a huge fan. it was okay but I don't think the chefs are super well-trained. I saw one accidentally slice the fish too deeply instead of scoring it, which removed maybe 20% of the piece of fish, and then he served it like that with the corner missing.
“Agree. Overpriced for what you get which is nothing special”
