The design of this place is like a jewel box or a space ship capsule. It is cute but results in a very cramped experience. I sat at the bar and could not even talk to my waitress and Jack without killing my neck. Service was very good. With regards to the sushi, food, and sake menu, I have to say that in NYC this place ranks at the very bottom for its price level. The Omakase at $95 was served up with mediocre concoctions at best, the actual sushi was 100% flavorless and the sashimi (toro excepted) was at medium grade only, not what you would expect at this price point. Unoriginal omakase, poor quality of food, especially the fish, small and limited but underwhelming sake menu. Well, need I say more? Go to Sushi Seki or Nobu Next Door for amazing and rip-off-free omakase.
Pros: interesting design of space
Cons: sushi, sashimi, sake menu
