replying to u/UltraLuminescence: I definitely agree that most of the omakase in this price range is not great, and love sushi blossoms. for reference for your future visits - I prefer booking the last seating of the evening (you get to take sake shots with your chef). I found sushi ishikawa (UWS) to be very similar in concept to sushi blossoms, although a bit pricier. I also liked sushi by M but felt sushi blossoms was better value still.

replying to u/Agreeable-Ad-7110: I agree that there are too many especially at the lower end. But with omakase, it's like fine wine tasting. You are only doing it for minute differences. It's why I don't rank sushi alongside other restaurants and even if I'll recommend like atera to someone that hasn't had many tasting menus, I wouldn't recommend noz to someone that has only been to one $70 omakase. That said, they do vary and indeed, yoshino and sho make notably better sushi than ito and sushi ann and ikumi, etc. But I don't think it's notably better unless you are into sushi, much the same way a lafitte rothschild is much better than a fayat pomerol but if you've never really had red wine, it very well might seem like they are not all that different.
“I've been to many of the ones priced betweeen $70-$200 and have usually had great experiences, Shinzo Omakase and Sushi Blossom are two favorites.”
