“Sushi Jin on the Upper East Side has a wide variety of fish, preparations that enhance the fish rather than extravagance for extravagance's sake, and has a very welcoming but lowkey vibe.”

replying to u/Laridianresistance: the highest quality omakase under 200 is without a doubt Sushi Jin to me. The location (upper east) is the main cause for the discount - its a little out of the way but Satoshi is an OG and the courses are always a little more interesting than the typical fare. If you want some real insider NYC sushi talk and an amazing atmosphere, that's the place. I went a little while ago and was eating next to a few sake importers straight from Tokyo who were here for a conference. You can get better fish for a much higher price point but the experience and omakase at Jin are the best deal in NYC right now. It's also compounded by their old school process (gotta call for a reservation), so it stays off the reservation sites as well. Just go here. Experience-wise, it was as warm and fun as some of the places where I've dropped 4 figures for two.
“I think it strikes the perfect balance of traditional while still having dishes that surprise me. Service and ambiance are great but the fish and preparations are what really stand out”

replying to u/Laridianresistance: It's absolutely wonderful, and a ridiculously good price for the meal. Completely agree with your assessment, and I've been everywhere. Unfortunately you're also right - business is not great. I don't understand why they refuse to have an online reservation presence - I think that's a huge part of it, but they definitely deserve all of the accolades, primarily because of the affordable cost of a fantastic omakase.
