What People Are Saying About Omen Restaurant
The Editor

In Short – Located on a quiet Soho side street, Omen's brick-wrapped dining room exudes a cozy, austere feel. Though there are a handful of Japanese a la carte offerings on the menu, the prix fixe is most popular by far. Daily specials typically include the sweet eel omelet, smoked salmon, and the signature steamed kingfish with plum. Desserts range from exotic ice creams to fresh fruit.

amazing experience, AMAZING food
by daeviydt
i frequent sushi/sashimi/japanese places. i don't know what's authentic, but i know what's good. the food here is really good. my mouth is watering just thinking about it, to be honest. the yellow fin is so delicious. the freshness of everything is unfathomable. the sushi chef, Tom, is so nice and somehow manages to make conversation while preparing dozens of dishes simultaneously. the waiters are extremely nice. things aren't cheap here, but everything is well worth the cost. it could be much more expensive and still be worth it... the best sea urchin i've ever had... the vegetables are all so delicious... decent sake menu (with silly little letter designations like P for Peachy, stuff like that). lots of other non-sushi/sashimi options... i really want to return QUITE SOON because i'm so excited to try out absolutely EVERYTHING.
- Pros: great location, love the design, great clientelle, awesome service, best sushi/sashimi to my taste
- Cons: NONE

Exquisite Japanese Food
by liahb
This is the real deal. Not some Japanese restaurant run by non-Japanese asians. I was introduced by a Japanese friend of mine. The food is authentic and unique to New York. I recommend getting the sesaonal menu the first time. It changes every season. The most amazing part is the young chef. He is one to watch - i dont mean literaly watch as he prepares the food, but his career. This is better than Nobu and without the fuss/attitude.
- Pros: Some of the best Japanese food in New York
- Cons: Decor is not great, but not bad either.

One of the Best -- not your average Japanese
by professionaleaters
This place is definitely on my list of all-time favs. Kaiseki , the style of cuisine at Omen, is hard to find even in NYC. This is a culinary experience that everyone should try at least once! The sake selection and advice give at Omen is also superb. The prix fixe meal is very large, however, the restaurant was very nice about some people ordering a la carte and some order the set meals. We were able to share a lot of things. Although the prices are high, you really get your money's worth.
- Pros: Food, Sake, No-Hype
- Cons: NONE
