“I just did a really wonderful omakase at Fuku Omakase. With 5 of you, you would take up half the seats and have your own chef. Really fun experience and good pricing.”

“I feel all three were similar quality, your average sub $100, 12 to 15 course, 60 min omakase. Not bad, but nothing memorable.”

replying to u/OrphanDad: Went to Omakase by Korami and found it to be super underwhelming. Pros: Service was great everyone is super friendly, its an intimate space, its a lot of food I think 16 pieces total Cons: Quality was not great. I wanted a the experience to feel a bit warmer and less manufactured than other spots so we opted for this over Shinn West. While we got just what we wanted in terms of experience, the lack of quality overshadowed everything. Nothing really tasted that great, and aside from the farm raised salmon with Foie Gras, everything was unimaginative and lacking flavor. They don't put as much care into the food as other places I have been to. No special or seasonal fish. When we went to Masu recently, every piece was enjoyable and it was even hard to pick a favorite one. With Korami, nothing really stood out. at $89pp we were disappointed. I think Sushi W at $53 would have been a better experience. At a similar price point and not too far, Masu & One Bite Omakase are much better IMO. I will say that it was a lot of food and we were very full afterwards.
“Fuku is my favorite, consistently solid omakase in the under $100 price range”

in:Best and worst sushi omakase in NYC. And why?1 pts
replying to u/RedHawk02: Fwiw, I enjoyed Shiki Omakase far more than Shinn East and they're about the same price. I think those two dominate the cheaper sphere of omakase experiences but there are definitely others I'd like to try. I also love Sushi W. Wouldn't recommended Sushi Lab, Sushi by M, or Sushi by Bou although I would probably go to another Bou location for the vibes alone. They roped us into staying for drinks afterwards with a free drink and we ended up having a great conversation with the bartender and he went nearly 1:1 on offering free drinks as we were buying more.
“For this price range I'd go to Fuku omakase in the west village.”
