What People Are Saying About Omido
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Restaurants near Times Square that don't look like tourist traps can be harder to find than front-row theater tickets, so this sushi spot scores points for it smart, sleek design. The space looks like a swank spa lobby, with wood-slatted walls alight with candles, and the good vibes keep flowing in the semi-private back room--its ceiling is covered with omikuji, fortunes written on rice paper slips. – – The Food – Divided into cold and hot plates, plus a decent-sized list of sashimi and sushi, the menu offers few surprises. However, the photogenic…

Food was okay. Not much service provided around lunchtime. ** CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD MONTHLY STATEMENT ** as they overcharged mine even though I wrote a specific tips amount.

Best Sushi and Japanese Food!
by PNICO
For everyone that loves sushi, I've discovered the best kept secret in Midtown last night! This restaurant is ideally located for patrons who have theater plans and the food is absolutely delicious! Omido is on Broadway, between 53rd and 54th Street, and boasts a very nice decor!
For food and service worth way more than what you're paying, this is the place to go!

Friday night, date night!
by claraluna
My fiance said he have a great surprise for me on our anniversary. When the cab took us to Time Square, I bit my lips to keep myself from saying something bad.. well, he's not a native New Yorker and I thought maybe he doesn't really know what he's doing. We went to Omido for dinner. The place is small but the decor was beautiful! We sat at the Sushi Bar and had a tasting menu. I've dropped so many hints of wanting to go to Nobu or Megu.. but Omido is now on my top list for my favorite Sushi place! It's under-rated for the value it has to offer. Loved the kampachi, the botan, the temari was my favorite! The meal was well planned by the chef, who I later found out was the same chef from Yujin! My favorite place in the West Village! I realized the familiarity of the seaweed salad which was another dish on the top of my list. Chef Taka deserves more praise than what he's getting! Anyway, back to my date night.. so, I felt sorry I ever thought about my fiance not knowing what a romantic evening was all about, because a night at Omido was very romantic. Great atmosphere, good food, candle light.. then we walked around Time Square and went to a show. I realized, he wanted to give me the absolute New York experience.. because we are moving out of NY. And for the first time, I saw Time Square in a different light. It was beautiful.
- Pros: The food, decor, service, sake list
- Cons: Time Square.. tourist cluttered pavement.. hehe
