Any recs for omakase? Thinking about making a reservation for my birthday coming up, ideally not looking to spend more than ~$150 per person.
Recommendations I got:
- Sushi Yasuda
- Takahachi
- Morimoto
- Nobu
A friend whose opinion I trust recommended Yasuda so if there isn't much variation in this price range I'll probably go with that, though a lot of people also recommended Nobu. I searched the thread and people here seem to like Takahachi as an affordable option?

As a general rule anything in the meatpacking district = overpaying for a mediocre experience. The whole area should be burned to the ground.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Maybe I bought the cheap omakase, but I would avoid Kura.
Anyone ate at Piora? What did you think? Wasn't much to write home about. Maitre d' was overly nice it was frightening..
Still want to try Blanca.
Chiang Mai in Red Hook has pretty good Northern Thai. From the creators of Kao Soy?
More meatpacking crap?

Also LOL to "food" in New York being overrated.
Originally posted by jskidder1 View PostNakizawa would be my recommendation. I've heard mostly mixed reviews on Yasuda, and I'd avoid Nobu & Morimoto unless you're willing to overpay for a mediocre experience.

If this were back in June or prior, I would've said 15 East. Masa was by far the best value in the city (as well as Top 3 skill-wise) and easily the friendliest.
If you don't necessarily care about getting a Japanese chef, David at Sushi Dojo is a top tier sushi chef at a more reasonable price ($100-$150pp or so).
Ichimura, Kanoyama, etc. are great if you can stretch your budget to $200-$250pp.
Part of the consideration with Omakase is that it's going to be heavily based on your particular taste. I know people who think Kura is the best place in city (strongly disagree).
Check out the forum on Chowhound for very comprehensive reviews of Sushi Omakase options around NYC. Chefs come and go all the time. You can also find a place that's matching to your taste.
(Also, if anyone's omakase preference is not just for sushi, how about Tori Shin?)Last edited by Tiranis; 10-08-2015, 09:08 PM.

Fellow Barber is nice. I like Cotter Barber on Manhattan in Greenpoint. It's right by the park. Get a nice shave, snag some product, have an espresso on their patio.
As for food you guys should check Bruno Pizza in the East Village. Old school buddy just opened it up. Getting some good reviews.Originally posted by Shucksit's like cocaine, only heavier. and legal.Originally posted by interest1I don't live in the past. But I do have a vacation home there.
