"This casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot called Kosaka is located near The Container Store in Flatiron with counter seating that wraps around an area where the chefs prepare all your sushi. And just like America’s foremost Organization Consortium, Maki Kosaka’s perfectly-plated makimono sushi sets will remind you that an orderly, minimalist aesthetic is extremely pleasing to your brain. You can get handroll sets with things like seared scallop and bluefin toro, or you can order what you want à la carte." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Maki Kosaka, the more affordable offshoot of Michelin-starred omakase spot Kosaka, is one of the neighborhood’s top options for downing sushi in a pretty, flower-filled space thanks to the plant shop connected to the restaurant. There are over a dozen versions of stuffed temaki rolls and “grab” sushi served with sheets of toasted nori seaweed for customers to use to scoop up the fish and rice. Or, let the restaurant do the choosing for you with two different under-$50 set sushi meals." - Melissa McCart
"Maki Kosaka in Flatiron is the casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot called Kosaka on West 13th, which means you can expect quality fish at lower prices. They have two types of handrolls here: temaki and “grab” sushi, which are pieces of beautifully constructed nigiri that you scoop up with crisp Saga nori sheets. Have your next date night here—the big wrap-around sushi bar has enough space to give you some privacy, and there’s a lush plant shop in the front that feels like their unofficial front porch." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"This casual offshoot of a fancy omakase spot (called Kosaka) opened in the summer of 2020 near The Container Store in Flatiron. And like America’s foremost Organization Consortium, Maki Kosaka’s perfectly-plated makimono sushi sets will remind you that an orderly, minimalist aesthetic is extremely pleasing to your brain. If you’re comfortable spending $50 on excellent fish for dinner or lunch, get the makimono set. It arrives on one platter with two pieces of toro and scallop onigiri, four large futomaki pieces full of pickled and fresh vegetables, and what Maki Kosaka calls “grab sushi” - three pieces of beautifully-constructed nigiri that you scoop up with fresh, crisp Saga nori sheets from Kyushu, Japan. In case you’d like to supplement your sushi grabbing (or split something with a dining teammate), Maki Kosaka also offers maki roll combo options for under $30, and you can design your own “grab sushi” set." - hannah albertine, carlo mantuano, neha talreja, kenny yang
"This Flatiron spot specializes in Makimono sets with onigiri, maki, and what they call “grab sushi,” which comes with separate nori sheets that you use to scoop up things like red snapper topped with miso-wasabi sauce. They have maki roll combo options for under $30, and the quality of fish is better than what you’ll find at most neighborhood spots in the area. You can stop by their outdoor area for lunch or dinner any day except Monday." - hannah albertine
