“Slightly above your price range after tax and tip but Sushi Ishikawa is by far my favorite. 17 courses for $179 with multiple servings of uni, toro, caviar, etc. The only one I’ve returned to multiple times.”

AI-generated summary
The runs about $175 and leans rich, with uni, , and truffle showing up on a lot of the pieces. Most people say it's their favorite in the city. Others say it fell off once prices jumped, with smaller pieces and too much luxury piled on top. Go if you want decadent rather than traditional.
