Omakase SUSHI DAIRO

Highly recommended. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the chefs and servers were very friendly. I liked that it can be enjoyed with your hands and without soy sauce, which really lets the flavors shine. The miso soup and ice cream were also good. I usually do not pay much attention to these since they are often too salty or overly sweet in NYC, but here everything was well balanced and suited my taste. I also appreciated that there was no loud music, making it easy to talk and enjoy the meal. Everything felt simple and well done, which I appreciated. Given the price point, a bit more attention to design, especially in the bathroom, could be a nice touch, but overall it was a wonderful experience with an authentic Japanese sushi vibe.

great experience! i had omakase for lunch and it was impressive. fresh fish, outstanding seasoning, quick service. sushi here is traditional omakase, not fusion, and still very well seasoned, with many flavors that fill whole mouth

We went out for Valentine's Day last night. Omakase Sushi Dairo lost our reservation, which we showed them we had confirmed. It was no big deal because they found space for us and we had a good dinner. However, less than 90 minutes after we arrived, as we paid the bill and were finishing our waters, the hostess started to RUSH us out the door to sit the next guests. She may have been new, so maybe she didn't know that it's super inappropriate to hurry people out from a nice restaurant, especially when we tipped well and were friendly/respectful guests. There was no "time limit" like some cheaper places have. Not only were the couple who came in after us not even ready to be seated, but there were plenty of open seats. Just move your post-it notes around. If you guys want the benefit of be

The worst Omakase I’ve ever had in my life. We went with the sushi dinner set for $160. The first course was miso soup, which I usually love, but this one was about three times saltier. The first appetizer tasted like canned tuna cat food. The sashimi was objectively mid one after the other. The best part was the uni, the uni was incredible. The hand roll was disappointing. The green tea ice cream was great, and I doubt they made that in house. there are so many good Omakase places in the city and I really regret coming to this one.

A Hidden Gem That Treats You Like Family. If you’re looking for budget-friendly omakase in NYC that doesn’t compromise on quality or care, this is the place. I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it’s more than just the fish that keeps me coming back—it’s the people. The fish is always fresh. You won’t find gimmicks or over-the-top theatrics here—just honest, skillful sushi that hits all the right notes. It’s the kind of place where the chef might hand you a piece and say, “This one’s just how you like it”—and it always is. My little sushi sanctuary.Thank you!
