Omakase Room by Mitsu

Sushi, for me, is now divided into two eras — before and after discovering this place. As a sushi lover, I’ve visited many renowned restaurants, but Chef Mitsu’s sushi is truly on another level. Every piece, crafted with seasonal ingredients, perfectly balanced shari (sushi rice), and the chef’s unique seasoning for each fish, is simply exceptional. The kindness and professionalism of the staff make the entire dining experience relaxed and joyful — a truly flawless and unforgettable meal.

We were originally booked at the Omakase Room by Shin in midtown, but our reservations were moved to a later time, which meant we won't make it to the show we were going to see. I was just going to cancel but the manager suggested moving our reservation to this place and she arranged everything for us. This proved serendipitous as this proved to be quite a discovery. The moment we walked down the steps and entered the place, we were greeted warmly by the hostess, shown to our seats, and explained the whole ceremony that is dining omakase. The chef started his magic: slicing, dicing, constructing each piece with adept hands. Each serving was an event. Each piece was a feast to be savored quickly as per instructions given by the chef himself (with a quick pause for pictures, of course). Yes

Such an amazing and lovely omakase experience. We got the reservation time wrong but the restaurant was so accommodating in our tardiness. It didn’t hamper the experience in any way. The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. Staff were all so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for an omakase experience!

For those looking to savor authentic omakase, this spot is a must-visit. I highly recommend this spot. I had a great time here, and top of the line chefs and food.

The best traditional Omakase experience that I have been to in NYC! Chef Mitsu is a true master of his craft and he makes sure that the sushi is the star of the show. The setting of this restaurant is traditional and very intimate. I enjoy that there are no gimmicks or bells & whistles to this place. It's simply you, the chef, and incredible sushi. The customer service by the team is also very good. You can tell the team tries very hard to make sure that you enjoy every small detail of your experience. This place is quite popular so I definitely recommend booking a reservation in advance. Also, I would encourage you to try any of their beers. These are not your typical Japanese beers that you find at your local sushi spot.
