With all of the great reviews I really wanted to like this
With all of the great reviews I really wanted to like this place. Did I just catch someone on a bad day? I hope so. The positives were that the service was good, nice attentive staff. To start, the fish wasn't sliced properly. Every piece inconsistent, some with pieces without the bloodline removed, some sliced so thin and unevenly that you can see through to the rice, and some pieces of fish dangling off the neta/ topping. I felt mortified for the sushi chef. I stopped taking pictures after a while, they just looked awful. There was a piece where the uni was placed below the piece of fish. Not sure what the value was in that - gets completely smushed down. The rice wasn't right either. Some were quite warm from being taken out straight from the rice cooker, some were cold, and there was a lot of inconsistency with each piece - some that felt grainy and not cooked all the way. On top of that the taste was quite bland, and what I think was meant to be toro was a bit sinewy. Didn't feel like any piece was really that pleasant unfortunately. Just wanted this to end. Understand that sushi in ny is not meant to be as good as it is in Japan but this has completely scarred me. The uni pasta wasn't too bad though although the cream sauce didn't have much of an uni taste (special they have on through April and what completely goaded me to come here - never getting fooled by Instagram again!).

I actually came here for a date and the omakase was really delicious. The fish seemed to be of great quality. The service was very attentive and they seemed to pay attention to every little detail within the restaurant. I actually ate outside and was surprised to see and smell that everything was beautiful and smelling nice bcs in New York City I mean.... You never know right haha! It was such a great experience!

Everything was pretty good, being a sushi snob probably by now I would call myself, visiting Japan for work and pleasure several times a year, there isn't much in the states that can impress me. Especially how expensive everything has gone up since Covid and with an expensive meal like this one, tipping shows appreciation which we do for the real deal Japanese chef, but when the tip can be a couple hundred bucks, it's not as enjoyable anymore. There needs to be some balance of value and quality, it's quite far apart. It was to celebrate my family's birthdays, we're all in February. We had Kamasu by kissaki before which was a hand roll set and I thought that was a super good deal, huge amounts of fish and omakase of 5-6 was only $75? Kissaki Bowery was $150 some appetizers that were not innovative or with wow factors for this price, standard on the sushi. I paid $300 deposit for the four of us at reservation time. In Japan with the current exchange rate, we could of had this meal and better for less than $40 each. No taxes, no tips. It's ok once in a while to celebrate at an overpriced nice restaurant. Shari had good texture and flavor with the akasu. Fish was standard not much stood out. Been there done that. I think the crazy Chinese omakase Chef's with bluefin, uni, caviar, shaved truffles all in one bite I find more exciting cuz Japan doesn't do that. Sushi Blossoms, near MSG. Kissaki like a Nobu without the Nikkei flavors and wow ness. Actually I think I spent more at kissaki than Nobu with my family. We had a great time being together. Family is most important and brings the happiness that covers all negativity.

I recently made a visit to kissaki this past Sunday and this was my second time dining in for their omakase experience. It's safe to say that the second visit was even better than the first. The sushi chef as well as the server that took care of us throughout the meal were both so sweet and attentive. I opted for the 15 course omakase and added on a wagyu handroll from their Al la carte menu. The uni handroll as well as the toro and ikura handroll stood out to me the most. But overall, each piece was very delicious and the fish quality without a doubt was very fresh. Would recommend paying a visit for a date night or just with a friend if you're ever craving sushi!

I've been a loyal patron of Kissaki Bowery since its opening, and I'm here to tell you, it remains unrivaled as the best omakase experience in NYC, bar none. Even with heavyweights like Masa in the mix, Kissaki stands out for its exceptional culinary artistry and ambiance. Each visit to Kissaki is an adventure, a culinary journey that begins with the most refined appetizers - think dashi broth with steamed squash, steamed egg custard with eel, and the most divine tuna tartare served with crisp nori sheets. The attention to detail, the freshness of the ingredients, and the subtle complexities of flavors in these dishes set the stage for what is always an extraordinary dining experience. But let's talk about the main event - the Omakase nigiri selection. Each piece of nigiri is a masterpiece, pre-brushed with soy sauce, eliminating the need for additional dipping and allowing the pure flavors to shine through. From the buttery toro to the delicate sea bream, each bite is a revelation. Even the uni, which I approached with caution, added a unique dimension to the experience, underscoring the chefs' commitment to authenticity and quality. What truly sets Kissaki apart, though, is its dedication to the essence of Japanese cuisine, the impeccable service, and the intimate, elegantly casual setting. The restaurant has rightfully earned its Michelin Plate, a testament to its excellence and consistency in delivering an unmatched Omakase experience. Kissaki Bowery isn't just another sushi spot; it's a culinary institution that celebrates the best of Japanese cuisine with every dish served. It's the place I recommend to anyone looking for the pinnacle of sushi dining in New York, a place where food transcends to art. In a city brimming with Omakase options, Kissaki Bowery continues to reign supreme, offering a dining experience that's as unforgettable as it is unparalleled.
Be the first to ReplyChef Taro Kiso brought culinary art and skill to the table
Chef Taro Kiso brought culinary art and skill to the table with his limited time in the USA. His friendly demeanor settled the anxious first-time omakase tasters and reassured the skeptical seasoned consumers of the industry, and that's certainly a plus! The sushi hit all the right marks, and we yearned for more so we ordered a roll that's on the menu instead of getting another piece from the omakase list. Since it was near closing time, we couldn't order whatever we originally wanted but settled on a roll that satisfied our hungry bellies. We ordered several drinks and the yuzu margarita was refreshing. The sparkling soda was refreshing and a nice treat for those who don't want any alcohol. We also got a pot of green tea to round things out in the end. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the seating behind the omakase bar. I was hoping for a quiet evening where we can savor every morsel without interruption but that's difficult to achieve when you have rowdy customers 6 feet from your back. It's understandable, people are having fun, but I suppose the layout could've been better.

Had an amazing experience with Chef Taro Kiso, for the limited time tasting menu. It was my first time visiting Kissaki, and I was amazed with how beautiful the interior is. The restaurant is nicely decorated, with a very intimate and professional feel. The staff are super friendly and very helpful during the entire meal. Chef Taro Kiso was a delight and it was an honor to be personally served by him. The dishes were so pretty and carefully crafted. All of the appetizers were so unique, but I have to still say my favourite was the Toro Nigiri. Hope I can visit chef in Kyoto someday. Definitely will come back to Kissaki for their normal omakase course as well. Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyThe food was average but the prices for average were high.
The service was good, atmosphere lovely. Depends on what you're looking for
Be the first to ReplySushi was great.
But the course took forever. We had the watch the chef prep everything after every 2 pieces. We watched her wash things, we watched her cook the rice.. I guess that's what makes it fresh? But our course took over 2 hours...
Be the first to ReplyA pretty decent Omakase place at $100s/person price range.
Located near the East Village, the restaurant has great location and decent interior design. I love the chic and cozy counter area and my dining experience there have already been great. The chefs are always friendly and they do a good job on introducing all kinds of fishes and their source. They change their menu from time to time and they never disappoint! Always fresh and yummy! If you're looking for a casual Omakase experience, I would recommend this place!
Be the first to ReplyVisiting from GTA, Canda, and this restaurant was fabulous
Visiting from GTA, Canda, and this restaurant was fabulous and by far the best restaurant I tried in here. In all of my experience dining out, I can easily say this was one of the top three meals I've ever had. Everything from this restaurant was great. The entrance the vibe and the style of it. The food was marvelous, and the service was great, our service was super great and recommended amazing dishes especially the Premium futomaki. A more upscale version of The Classic 10-piece roll and excellent all around. The touch of sweet creaminess coming from the avocado and crispiness from shrimp tempura - was just right.
Be the first to ReplyBeen here to visit old friends and came here to celebrate
Been here to visit old friends and came here to celebrate the reunion. The night was amazing! Service was great and the atmosphere was wonderful, so welcoming! Food was so delicious, immaculately presented, and surprisingly well priced for what was offered. Sashimi and sushi were like butter, melted in the mouth, the hand rolls were phenomenal, and miso soup was very hearty. Blue Fin Tuna, King Salmon and Shima Aji were my favorites for sure! It seems that everyone that comes here can't help but keep coming back. They offer an extensive menu with high quality ingredients and fair portions. Everything is executed with a level of playfulness and finesse that keeps everyone coming back. Definitely do yourself a favor and check out the best sushi restaurant.

The sushi was very fresh, however the flavours were quite mid for the price. Wish they had more options for lunch with the traditional omakase experience rather than serving everything on one plate. Also, the appetizer was a bit salty, while the dessert was nothing too special.
Be the first to ReplyVery good sushi, clean and nice atmosphere.
Staff were polite. Tempo of fish was a bit fast but that's ok.

I came here on a Saturday at noon and the restaurant was very peaceful. For lunch they offer a lunch omakase which consists of 2 chef appetizers, 6 pieces of nigiri and 1 dessert. Note, even though I chose to sit at the sushi bar, I still ended up receiving my nigiri all at once instead of piece by piece. There was only one chef and one waitress during my dining time. Appetizers:Fried Amadai (tile fish)It was suggested to squeeze the lemon on top and dip the fish in salt. I was pleasantly surprised by this appetizer. The fish was perfectly cooked and fried. The skin was puffed and super crispy. The fish was buttery, light. What a wonderful way to start my meal. Dashi broth with clam and DaikonPerfect adjunct to my appetizer to cleanse my palate before moving into the next course.Nigiri:Shima aji (Stripe jack) Akamai (Lean blue fin tuna)Hata ( Japanese Grouper)- a little chewy but wonderful flavorIsaki (chicken grunt)- very soft. Usually firm texture but soft for me. Beautiful texture. Fish is sweetMasunosuke (King salmon)Hotate (Scallop)Marinated ikura- Delicious however I wished it was slightly more marinated. Tamago**each nigiri is already lightly brushed with soy sauce with a small piece of wasabi. If you're not used to eating omakase, please do yourself a favor and cleanse your palate with the pickled ginger before you eat the next piece. Your taste buds will thank you and you will actually get to taste the difference between each nigiri. A la carte menu: Chutoro with caviar($16) - aside from the Hokkaido uni, I think was probably my favorite piece. Perfect amount of fattiness complemented with the slight saltiness of the caviar and the texture was just perfect. Otoro with Hokkaido Uni($18)- this was definitely my number #2 favorite. I love a good otoro with uni and the quality of the ingredients definitely make a difference. Maine uni($18)- good uni but of course a difference flavor profile compared to the Hokkaido. More salinity and a touch firmer. Hokkaido uni($24)- soooooooo good, ordered 2 pieces. It's so buttery, creamy smooth and sweet. Bonito fish- similar flavor to tuna but less iron on the tongue. Toro Hand roll ($18)- akamai, chutoro, otoro with pickled radish and scallion. Really yummy. A little heavy on the scallion but I didn't mind. DessertBlack sesame ice cream on a puff cracker- delicious!DrinksEastern sour- not a bad cocktail but wasn't too impressed by it. Far Eastide- super refreshingYuzu margarita- my favorite and was complimentary! The orange blossom and honey really comes through and so warm comforting. Perfect end to my meal. All in all, I would definitely come back for the quality Omakase.
Be the first to ReplyLOVED this place.
I've tried a decent amount of omakase places and while they were good, not many were memorable. This place was memorable. It's the perfect blend between fusion and traditional. Would definitely come here again!
Be the first to ReplyI'm always in search of a good omakase place and my husband
I'm always in search of a good omakase place and my husband booked this place due to a friend's recommendation. The service was nice/friendly. It was a nice small place with every seat at the omakase counter filled with people eager to try the place's omakase. The appetizers were good - especially the first lobster appetizer that we got. I was excited to try the nigiri given that the appetizer was pretty good. However, I was a little turned off by the way our chef chopped the ginger. Normally, the omakase places I've been to they slice the ginger thinly. The chef I had chopped it into thick cubes - didn't like that. Most of the nigiri were decent, but I've had better. But I did enjoy their toro a lot - there was even a little uni in it! Yum yum! But all in all, I didn't find their chef or omakase to be wow.
Be the first to ReplyCame for 65$ restaurant week and thought it was okkk.
Came with 2 small appetizers (special sashimis), 8 nigiri (1 roe, 1 just egg tho ... so only 6 fish), 1 creme brรปlรฉe dessert (very small cube slice, no ice cream or anything). Felt like it wasn't worth or anything special. Rather have 65$ 12 piece omakase other restaurants offer.
Be the first to ReplyGot the 15 course omakase for my boyfriend's birthday.
Friendly staff, super fresh fish and flavor choices (first time I had mushrooms with nigiri!)...and the ginger, I'd buy a jar. The nigiri had a great ratio of fish to rice (perfectly cooked and short grain) and was served at a really nice pace where you don't feel rushed. Also I loved that it wasn't super loud like a lot of nyc restaurants, so you can talk with your party without yelling.
Be the first to ReplyHonestly, not even sure where to begin.
But how it ended, two completely full and tantalized customers. I mean, how could it be nothing less than a perfect 10 experience when you're seated at the sushi bar, and getting served by the Chef and Owner Mark... it was the treat of treats. We enjoyed the 16-course menu and had the joy and pleasure of Chef Mark's company the entire time. The flavor profiles of the nigiri were so diverse that I felt like my mouth was getting a new surprise with each bite. I cannot even begin to express how the variety of nigiri is bar none. You really just go on an omakase joy ride and every moment feels so special. I didn't want to leave. I'm so impressed by the entire experience. Service was top notch. The conversation about food, our upbringing, and ways that food made such an impression on our choices in life was so fulfilling. I really cannot wait to go back again and have both my belly and heart full.
Be the first to ReplyI brought my wife here for her birthday dinner.
Everything was going well until there was one Omakase item with almond in it, to which I told the chef I'm allergic to almonds. He asked if I told the server and I didn't because she didn't ask me about nut allergy - she only asked me about soy milk allergy which was an option listed on Resy, but not for almonds. Both the server and chef began to belittle me in front of other diners due to my almond allergy which made me very uncomfortable. I'm willing to pay for the chef to make another piece, than to hear how upset the chef and server is that I'm born with an almond allergy. I didn't choose to have an almond allergy. I wish that was the end of it. Every piece after, the chef mockingly asked me if I'm allergic to fish, seaweed, soy sauce, rice or other ingredients until the end of dinner. It was very uncomfortable and it was obvious the chef was being a jerk and not actually joking. I stopped drinking and ordering more food after because I didn't want to support this restaurant anymore. What should have been a simple pivot became an embarrassment... I don't judge businesses on mistakes made, but on how the business handles mistakes and it was clear that Kissaki Sushi was more bothered about an almond than just offering a solution. This was literally a 5-star experience except for the rude server and chef behavior. The food quality was above average, but I would not come back due to the service.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely embarrassing.
The obnoxious waiter to the slow service to the ridiculously prices menu items that came out under seasoned or over cooked I will never come back to this place. Don't ever come here go to O by Kassaki instead. Don't waste your money.
Be the first to Replycame here for restaurant week with my sisters on sunday 2pm
came here for restaurant week with my sisters on sunday 2pm where they give you an appetizer, soup, 6 piece nigiri, 1 hand roll & dessert for $60. the service was great but the food took a lot longer than i wished. the chefs don't make it one at a time like a typical omakase restaurant but makes it bunches and it comes out all at once. we were seated promptly at 2p, got appetizers around 215p but didn't get our food until 3p (where we saw the food getting made twice). the appetizer was really good as well as the the almond nigiri & the ice cream dessert. overall, not a bad deal but not THE best omakase ive tried... definitely creative though with the ingredients for sure!

5. $160 for 3 apps 12 nigiri and dessert. Honestly the fish is decent but nothing too spectacular for the price. Honestly I've had $50-$100 omakase that was better or similar quality. We paid about $420 for 2ppl including tip and tax which was not worth it to me. Food quality? DecentWorth it? Not sure for the price.
