"Sub-$100 omakases are opening at an alarming rate in New York, but Kazumi is still notable for a meal that tastes more expensive than it is. For $75, you get a dozen pieces of simple but good nigiri—like kanpachi with a little bite, or king salmon with miso beans. You’ll also get some luxurious pieces, like torched otoro with caviar, Hokkaido uni, and torched a5 wagyu—as well as a dainty piece of yuzu cheesecake for dessert. This is a great spot for a casual date that won’t completely break the bank, or a solo dinner to celebrate making it through the week." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore
