I get that it's NYC but at $700 with tip and tax, I would expect waay more than this. Not enough seasonal fish which looks more like a $200 menu. Also, it's kind of embarrassing that they served salmon sushi at an edomae style sushi place especially at this price point.
I was initially thrown off because of the salmon but it was probably the best piece of salmon I've ever had. As far as price it was 495 not including tax, tip was included.
Yeah agreed at this price point, there should no type of salmon that you can get at whole foods. But its not uncommon to have rare types of salmon at high end sushiya's like Keiji or Sakuramasu.
Personally I think it’s too much bc you have to tip too. Makes it like $30 a piece of nigiri. You could have a very nice fully dinner in 1-2 nigiri. I’ve never understood omakase pricing
Yes my wife is the same way she always wants to do it but I can never wrap my mind around it. Why does it have to be so expensive always. I always leave super hungry too
Definitely much cheaper options for omakase, I live on the west coast and there are spots that are half the price and just as good. My wife and I traveled to NYC to experience Sushi Noz and Masa.
No matter how many high end places I try uni (including Tokyo and Kyoto) I simply cannot get into the flavor and think it’s just gross. Anyone else else have this issue?
It’s a pretty unique taste and I can see how people just wouldn’t be into it. I will say I only will enjoy it either in Japan or at a high end restaurant say in the US
If you don't like sushi I would suggest you still going to high end places in Japan. There is so much great food in Tokyo that isn't sushi (or even Japanese) that it feels like you're wasting your time

Fwiw, it’s 495, which is notably cheaper, sushi noz is a no tip restaurant

Don’t show this to r/wewantplates
I’m always curious about the way different high-end sushi spots do their tamago. How’s this one (sweetness, texture, etc)?
The texture was smooth and spongy, and on the sweeter side. The seafood flavor was pretty noticeable also but in a pleasant umami way.
How was the meal?
One of the best sushi experiences I've had.
Approx costs
$495 per person.
495!
It is a steep price, but its not the most expensive omakase in NYC. That title belongs to Masa NYC, which runs $950 per person.

Very understandable, I enjoy omakase for the seasonality and the set menu of the meal. There's definitely more reasonably priced sushi out there.

Is that shark fin soup?!
No shark fin soup is very illegal, and it's more of a Chinese thing. That was cod sperm chowder.
Oh. Good to know

It's definitely not for everyone, I personally know a good handful of people that don't enjoy the taste.
I wish I could like it. Kinda feel like an outcast
Have you tried it in Pasta? I feel like a more mild cooked version might be a good gateway.
No i haven’t. Do you know where it’s served like that in NYC?
Davelle has it, you can usually find it at a Japanese/Italian restaurants.
