Delightful dinner experience that was well paced and full of surprise. The monk fish liver appetizer was flavorful and complex. 10 pieces of nigiri were also well crafted with very seasonal ingredients like the firefly squid. The last extra piece of ikura sushi was a little overly salty but overall all pieces were impeccable. Staff were very friendly and the sushi master definitely take pride of all his pieces. Will definitely come back!

We went for my partner's birthday. She loved it. She said it was best sushi outside of Japan. And staff was very nice. All wins.

4.5 rounded up, for the omakase menu. A good quality omakase, but without paying those Manhattan prices. We got to Uotora for our date night, and booked a reservation over the phone easily. The only issue with the reservation was when we got to the restaurant: it took 20-30 minutes to sit us down, since the previous party didn't finish yet (the omakase bar can only sit 4 people). The restaurant gave us a free dessert, without us asking for it, as compensation. Now for the omakase: delicious and unique. They recently raised its price to $95, but added a sashimi dish. So we got: * Assorted sashimi - including 2 pieces of tuna, a few pieces of orange clam, yellowtail, branzino & a delicious piece of salmon * An appetizer of oyster, and marinated fish. * 10 pieces of sushi, including Saba with gut sauce, and a delicious sockeye salmon * A hand roll * And miso soup with clams The sushi chef was pleasant and took great pride in his work.

Upscale omakase sushi experience In Crown Heights. At $65 (as of 6/2021), the omakase is one of the most reasonably priced in the five borough. Sure, this doesn’t come with pomp and circumstance of some of the fancier places, the experience is quite nice; private, quiet, and relaxing. Most of the fish are sourced from Japan, with a few exceptions, but all are very high quality. I needed a few additional supplements to feel full, but some nights it’s ok for your palate to feel better than your wallet!

Food was amazing and service was above and beyond! I did not catch the waiter’s name but he was very polite and pleasant. Came here with my bf and we got the omakase. My only wish is I wish the food came out faster but I’m just always hungry. Expect to spend decent time here! Would come back. The hand rolls were sooo flavorful and fresh (toro with pickled radish), we ordered a second round. The oyster with ponzu was really good too.

Well done Chef ! I spend 1h45 there trying omakase, nice selection of fishs. I discover some new fish there. The team are really kind and friendly. The best in this area with Katsuei Sushis. But I prefer the room/bar and the service if I can compare ! Chef Denis from france ✌

I came here after hearing a new Omakase spot opened in crown heights. I came here on a Tuesday night and was happily seated at the bar for Omakase. As usual I get the Japanese greetings and sat down. There's an Ala cart menu but that doesn't get you a seat at the bar. I think Omakase let's you sit at the bar top. The place decor is minimal and cozy. Omakase is chefs choice 10 piece plus a Toro handroll and soup for 70 dollars. Before you finish the chef would offer any extra pieces please try the needle fish as it is in season as of now December! The sweet shrimp is definitely a must try. As you are served you get to see him orchestrate your food as he explains whats being plated in front of you. After the meal I chatted it up with my chef and was just very happy with them in general. I'm very glad Alot of Japanese chefs have decided to set up shop in New York city. My meal was about 120 dollars after tip and will happily come here again with my girlfriend. Give em a shot I'm sue you'll be satisfied with the Omakase experience they provide. Japanese food is an art and I think everyone should try it out!

Omakase is very valuable, only takes $90 and $105. However, 12 pieces took almost 3 hours is incredible too long. Typically 12-15 pieces can be finished around 90 minutes. Specially the seats wasn’t perfect for stay that long. The other thing I feel not that professional was the stuff said the omakase will come with a dessert, but we still get charged for ice cream. Double check with the menu, it does mention omakase including the dessert. Not sure why we get charged (no one mentioned what the dessert is, or the ice cream need extra charge).

5.27.18 - Surprisingly really good. The fish is very fresh and it includes a variety from Spain. I prefer the rice to be warmer, but it's seasoned well. The service is spot on and the interior is a simple design. So the fish is sourced from Spain, Hokkaido, and the US West Coast. We went for the Omakase, which started with 3 bite size appetizers followed by 12 sushi pieces, and then finishing off with a handroll and the tamagoyaki. Tonight's highlights include fresh octopus from Hokkaido (not sure how fresh can fresh get) and Spanish Yellowtail Tuna. The Spanish Yellowtail Tuna was super creamy; it was very surprising as I've never had tuna that was creamy. I recommend reservations, but you can still get a table as a walk-in, but it's not very likely.

Had a pleasant meal here: ordered the omakase with soft shell crab supplement, one extra piece of uni and scallop. A delicious starter of marinated aubergine. For drinks one carafe of sake and three draft beers shared between two. Total after tip came to 170. Ambience is lovely and intimate and the quality of the sushi is, as expected, high. However we arrived at 8 and waited an hour for our first omakase course and didn’t finish until 10:30 after we explained we needed to go. I felt like this was too slow and by the end we were still very hungry. I was slightly disappointed with how the omakase came in sets of 5 rather than piece by piece since it seems to go against the usual staggered nature of the dining style. This meant that the pieces weren’t as fresh as they could have been had we eaten them as soon as they were made (I think this contributed to the long long wait also). The pieces themselves were also a little smaller than I was used to but that’s a matter of house-style rather than a criticism in itself. I didn’t feel like the cuts of fish we got were more special than the regular platters from what I observed of our neighbours who, despite arriving half an hour later, received all their food a half hour earlier than us. I would go back but I wouldn’t recommend the omakase experience to anyone unless they sat at the counter and had eaten something beforehand. You would save a lot of money also.
