We went there last night in the storm and waited 50 minutes for a table no biggie, its thursday night prime time.we sit at the sushi bar sweet right at the action and decide we want a $100 omakase . We think we are in for a meal. yea right 9 peices of fish later 3 sapporos and a couple of sake shots it $400 dollars >>> wait im still hungry!!! 9 peices coursed over an hour and a half is like me eating bird food ... not gonna fill the BIG GUY .

BEST SUSHI IN NYC

by busterbrown16

I am a sushi connoisseur and let me tell you, this sushi restaurant is absolutely the best sushi I have had. Ever. Okay, I may not be a connoisseur, but I know my sushi pretty well. I know I don't like huge pieces slapped on the rice, I can tell whether it has salty flavor or if its just plain bland, and I know the prime fish of the season. (If you know your sushi too, you know what I am talking about) Sushi Seki's sushi is always fresh and incredible. You should definitely get the omakase (in case you don't know what that is- it's the chef's choice of fish in the order of most fresh to least, and best tasting followed by something that will compliment that etc.) The pieces are creative instead of regular sushi (which you can also get and will taste great). The omakase includes:

salmon with tomato

yellowtail with jalapeno

spicy scallop hand roll

tuna with tofu sauce

I'm drawring a blank now but those are just some of my favorites. The staff is very polite and accommodating and the chefs are great too. Not the most talkative, but they're usually pretty busy.

It's rather expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Oh, and it's more of a traditional Japanese atmosphere as opposed to a chic, modern bar for those of you who are taking dates. :) I happen to like that better, but I can not speak for everyone.

Do Enjoy!

Awesome place for sushi

by JWolfe2002

Awesome place to go for sushi. Sushi Seki does a good job on presentation and everything I had was very fresh and tasty. I definately recommend the Chirashi Sushi and the Edamame Appetizer.

• Pros: fresh,tasty
