“ Fav omakase in the city! My absolute favorite, food is delicious, place is intimate and chefs are so nice. If you are looking for good food and a good time, run! ”
“ Food is awesome, the dishes are modern and creative, service is attentive and very helpful, the waitress help explain the dish and help us enjoy the meal when the chef is busy with preparing the next dish. The highlight for me is A5 wagyu with wagyu fat powder, it literally melt in the your mouth. All other dishes are fresh and very tasty. Were all full after the 17 dishes course. Hot towels are provided before and after meals which is a nice touch. We spent 200 per person. ”

“ Sushi was delicious with a wide variety of flavors throughout the 15 course omakase. I never liked it uni even after having tried it 6 times at different restaurants. However, the waitress convinced me to try their uni. I tried it and surprisingly, I loved it! It really does matter where you go for uni. The staff where friendly with very attentive service. My water glass was never empty for more then a minute. You should definitely check this place out if you love omakase. ”
“ Im definitely an Omakase lover and having tried many top sushi restaurants in the city, I have to add Ishikawa to my favorites list. This omakase is modern, combining exquisite pieces with awesome flavors and textures, definitely gave me a wow factor. One thing that IMPRESSED me is the use of Kama toro which is a rare piece since you can get only 2 pieces in a whole tuna collar area and are considerably small. Not many restaurants get it since its limited and expensive. All the pieces gave me a super pleasant sensation and trust me, youll get caviar, truffle, foie gras as well if season availability. The ambiance is cool, chef Pham has a great personality and he knows what hes doing putting his own expertise and passion into what he makes his dad was his mentor. Service very attentive as well. See you soon! ”
“ One of the most amazing dinner experiences we have ever had. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The sushi is fresh and unique we cant wait to go back when we visit NYC again. ”
“ This is HANDS DOWN THE BEST omakase we have ever had and we have been to many sushi restaurants and omakases. Everything is made perfectly from the fresh fish to the perfect rice! Everything served to us was amazing and each dish was unique. I couldnt choose a favorite. The service and atmosphere is perfect!! And the chefs are so nice and talented. You will leave feeling full and satisfied! We came here for new years and payed 195 for their new years special. They couldve easily charged WAYY more. We have been to omakases that are way more expensive but this one was better. Sooo worth it and sooo good. ”
“ Spectacular service and the quality of the sushi rivaled the meals we had in Japan. Perfect balance of new flavors alongside the pure sushi you want in an omakase. A mustgo. ”
