  • “my favorite omakase is juku in chinatown. it’s intimate 8-person counter that is served by 2 sushi chefs. they have the freshest fish! better than some of the more expensive omakases.”

  • “Juku is fantastic and has rolled out a cheaper ($135) option to complement their normal ($180) option”

  • replying to u/chimama79: my favorite omakase is at juku. i've recommended it before (i prefer it over nakazawa). super high quality sushi. request to have the chef/owner, kazuo. it use to cost $150 but now there are 2 tiers - $130 & $180.

    “The food at Juku is so much better than Nakazawa”

  • replying to u/madmidget: Thanks for the recommendations. How does Juku compare with Kosaka in terms of nigiri quality? I'm curious about trying omakase room, I've heard good things about it, but I checked their website and they only serve 11 pieces of nigiri. That might be an issue with me since I have a big appetite lol. Do you know if they allow you to order additional pieces?

    “Juku IS very good, but where they really shine is at nigiri-only variety (I’ve had as many as 6 uni varieties in one omakase).”

  • “in lower manhattan there are a lot of good options as well Sushi by M (casual omakase) Nakamura (ramen) Bohemian (Japanese fusion) Takahachi (casual sushi bar) Juku (expensive omakase)”
