    replying to u/roamingaimlessli: Completely agree that way too many subpar omakase NY spots have opened up over the last few years. Truly low quality and mass produced pieces marketed as a great value for under $100. I’ve tried a bunch and have yet to find one at these price points that are good. Feel like many of these owners are raking it in using low quality ingredients and marketing as good value “fresh fish”. I always sensed that all those Sushi by Bou type places jumped into the omakase train early on with good marketing and crap quality. Turned into a chain making lots of money and inspired even more to follow to do the same thing. I can’t rant about this for so long lol. Consistently have ranked Shota Omakase as THE place to go to for good quality/value. A few others at higher price points also are great might too expensive for normal dining.

    “$89 for 15 courses and the fish is incredible. No gimmick- just kind, talented chefs making great bites in a pretty chill (but nice) environment.”

    “Normally when I eat omakase, there will be 1 or 2 pieces that I feel like repeating. At yokox I feel like repeating the whole menu again. The pieces taste very nuanced.”
