Sekai Omakase

I made a last-minute, same-day reservation here and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The prices were reasonable, and the freshness of the fish exceeded my expectations. The presentation was vibrant, and I especially loved being able to choose from the charming selection of sake cups. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend dining here!

Sorry for the blurry photos. We visited Sekai Omakase to celebrate an upcoming graduation and were really satisfied with the 16-course omakase experience. The price was $108 per person (excluding tax and tip). Depending on your preference, you can opt for a sake pairing by the glass, and there are also additional pieces available, as shown in the photos. The chefs and servers were mostly Chinese, but we had no issues communicating with them. They provided warm, attentive, and sophisticated service, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. During our session, I noticed that all of the other guests were Asian, which surprised me, but it didn’t affect our experience in any way. Overall, I’d highly recommend Sekai Omakase for a memorable dining experience! Street parking only.

Some of the best Omakase I’ve had. The ingredients were so delicious and you could tell they were fresh. After each bite, my friends and I would look at each other silently while chewing, just in awe over the flavors. I believe the set came with 2 appetizers, 16 courses, and a dessert, which was all-in-all very worth it and filling. It’s an intimate space that might be reservation-only, and the mood was traditional-feeling and vibrant. The staff and sushi chefs were very accommodating and great to interact with. If you let them know you don’t like wasabi or need reasonable modifications, they are very good with that. We got some Sake which were great. I would recommend asking for their recommendations. We tried a sweeter one and it went down very nicely. I also recommend offering some to the staff and sushi chefs if the vibes are right! I’ve attached just some photos of my favorites of the night, but I can say for certain that each one was delicious. We will be back!

It was quiet and calm restaurant! Loved all the omakase pieces. Super fresh and tasty. Will def recommend to friends and come back! (Didn’t take all the photos since I was busy eating lol)

Experience at Sakai Omakase was beyond my expectations. I booked the reservation ahead to make sure I got seats for my anniversary. I got there on time and lucky enough to find a street parking space as you know finding a parking in Soho is not that easy. The restaurant is on basement and no sign outside, it looks like many omakase place like to do nowadays. Service was great and always pay attention to what customers need. Excellent quality of food for the price I pay. I'm glad I picked this place to celebrate the special day. Recommended.

This is one of my favorite spot in the city! Chef Eddy provides his customers great experience and food for those who crave edomae sushi. If you want traditional Japanese sushi at a great price Sekai is the answer. His 16 course is good enough but his supplement list is the real deal where you can find options that are hard to find in other omakase places in the city.

Sekai Omakase offers an unforgettable dining experience! The chef’s selection was fresh, beautifully presented, and each course felt like a work of art. If you’re looking for high-quality sushi in an intimate setting, this place is a must-try in New York!

Food: Overall fresh, with freshly grated wasabi, which was a nice touch. However, I found the seasoning inconsistent—some fish lacked flavor, and the truffle on ikura was overpowering, a confusing combo. Ambience: Very disappointing. The atmosphere was ruined by loud patrons, and the staff did nothing to manage the noise. For a $100+ per person experience, I expect a calm, quiet environment to enjoy the sushi and interact with the chef. We couldn't wait to leave. Service: Service was okay, but the constant display of fish photos on an iPad felt unnecessary and confusing. While the food was decent, the lack of ambiance control makes it unlikely I'll return, especially with the risk of another noisy experience.

Intimate setting and great friendly service. One of the best omakases that I've ever had. Quality of fish was amazing, plating was beautiful, and dessert was unique which was made with buckwheat and had a coffee like taste

i have only been to 3 omakases. the overly popular one by pike place in seattle, and a random lower tier (it was about 75 per person and just served at the table) and sekai. at the price point of 108 per person at the time of our visit, this omakase was exquisite. the total number of courses would be 15-16 including the dessert. fish was fresh, the chef was attentive in answering all of the patron's questions (including the one from the party next to us who demanded to know what harvest the truffle was from LOL they were obnoxious yet the chef was so gracious) the experience was so private and intimate. only a total of 4-5 parties are seated at the small bar and they made sure to leave a seat empty between the parties so that we aren't all cramped. in LA at this price point, you would not be tasting fish flown from japan or uni from hokkaido. it was so relaxing to watch the chef at work, focused and artful - it was a total asmr experience for the eyes. the patrons were mostly respectful. tea was refilled frequently and we did not go hungry!! would highly recommend. reservations absolutely required and hard to come by

When they say this place is an experience, they mean it. An unassuming spot in Manhattan that will wow any sushi fanatic. You'll be greeted and given warm towels to wipe your hands before starting. Reservations are basically required and omakase is served at a bar setting. There is nothing like watching a true sushi master showcase their artistry with fresh fish and you'll get that here. Every dish was carefully plated to perfection with a traditional sushi set up. I don't know if I've had better sushi in too many other places. This place can be summed up as unassuming, fantastic, straightforward yet unique, and fresh.

I was treated to Sekai for my birthday this year and couldn't have had a better time! The setting leans no-frills, with a sparse, spartan, spare dining counter in a basement room. Service was attentive and the omakase pieces mostly standard, but executed well. The real surprise was on their supplements menu after the main sequence which had several less-common offerings - I ordered a torched hirame which was done very well. A very solid option among the current era's explosion of omakase offerings in NYC!

The whole course was very well put together, and the place was nice but not too outrageously fancy. Fish was fresh, and it started off with three different appetizers and ended with a nice little dessert. I personally am not big on shiso, but if you like shiso, you'd like the appetizer. The service was good, and particularly, it was interesting how they walked around and showed us the pics of each fish we were eating, which I liked because normally, the japanese names for fish aren't that intuitive.

Experience at Sakai Omakase was beyond my expectations. I booked the reservation ahead to make sure I got seats for my anniversary. I got there on time and lucky enough to find a street parking space as you know finding a parking in Soho is not that easy.

Solid. Last minute booking for 4. Originally booked 5 but the 5th was stuck at work, literal life and death at a hospital. The staff let the change in headcount slide which was appreciated. Space is sparse, modern and clean. Only complaint would be how close our seats were at the counter for a few bigger guys. This was more apparent when they had to squeeze between us to bus plates or refill drinks. On to the food. The bites skewed traditional but they're adding foie gras, caviar and other garnishes. Still, their compositions showed more restraint than what you would find at other places. All in, about par for the price point. If you're in the area then it's a decent choice.

Private area for omakase hidden down in the basement. They gave us some appetizers and a lot of different fish to try along with a pudding dessert. The fish was so fresh and they paired the fish well with different sauces and fresh wasabi. Loved the experience! Service was excellent and they tended to you whenever you need since it is a small group at a time.

I was skeptical given the recent proliferation of omakase spots of varying quality, but this one is a winner. The ambiance is perfect for people seeking a quiet, classy experience without the noisy hype of AYCE/AYCD drama. The chefs are soft-spoken here, with a gentle touch that mirrors the light, delicate flavors of their seafood repertoire. The final dessert was such a pleasant delight: Just the right taste to wrap up the evening, with the best compliment I can give: "Not too sweet, and not too heavy."

Minimalistic omakase that impressed with fish quality & simple flavor enhancements with wasabi and soy. At $108 pp and 16 courses, Sekai delivered a no fluff experience but did leave something to be desired. To start, 2 appetizers are served - one being an octopus with yuzu dressing, and the other being a mackerel (?) with grated radish and micro greens. The octopus was interesting, and the mackerel was just okay. Not the strongest start, but interesting for sure. A third appetizer consisting of a steamed sea bass was available for additional price. This was good, but not worth the extra add on in my opinion. Moving onto the nigiri, 12 pieces are served, and theres 1 tuna hand roll at the end. Again, the fish quality here is superb, and simple flavor enhancements are used with wasabi and soy. Probably not the ideal omakase for those who prefer more interesting flavor combinations, but still very good. They also have some pieces with native Japanese fish that I haven't seen before in other omakases. Highlights of the night definitely include the chutoro, ebi, scallop, king salmon, and hokkaido uni. We also added on the barracuda and wagyu with caviar, which were both good. Do note - the additional a la carte pieces get quite pricey. The rice was really perfectly seasoned. Our chef was a bit quieter, and it was difficult to hear the explanations for each piece. It would've been helpful to have a daily omakase menu to get an idea of what we were eating. Overall, Sekai Omakase was a good experience, but most of our party wasn't feeling quite as full as we'd expect after 16 courses + 1 app + 2 a la carte pieces. The vibe is also on the quieter side. No special pieces or desserts for celebrations - just a candle in the buckwheat pudding (which is silky smooth and delicious). Total dining time was about 1.5 - 2 hours - very well paced.

I have coming here year for over year! So great! The service is wonderful and the ambiance is so nice. On Valentine's Day they give everyone a rose! So nice! The pieces are so quality. On the higher end price point but still approachable for a special night!

They only open up 8 seats even though the counter can fit more, it's a fairly small omakase in that regard. However, I did enjoy it, but it's not the best value at $108 for 16 courses. They offer 2 appetizers, 12 nigiri, 1 handroll, 1 dessert. The first appetizer was great and pretty unique with the bamboo shoots. I didn't like the mackerel nigiri much. The standouts were the chutoro, king salmon, ikura and the buckwheat dessert.

The fish selection was very basic but the flavor was there. For $108 you'd expect to get otoro but we only got chutoro. The size of the uni was also very small portion. As someone who usually can barely finish a 16 course, this meal definitely did not fill me up. I understand costs are high right now, but I think giving customers a little bit more rice shouldn't be a big difference. The rice given was the smallest I've ever had in all the omakase I have eaten. My favorite was their pudding at the end, it was very yummy with the perfect texture and sweetness to end the course. However, the Anago we had was a bit dry for all of our liking. The chef should have left it out at room temp before torching it for a smoky flavor. But instead it was taken out directly from the fridge and torched for way too long which ended up tasting too rough and dry. If you're someone who enjoys watching the chef slice their fish on the spot, then this place isn't for you. All their fish are pre-sliced and displayed on a box in the middle of the room. The service was decent as the waitresses tried to show us pictures of the fish we were eating. It was a nice cozy spot but I felt like there was a lack of air circulation since it was in the basement. The heat was on very high and I was sweating. My husband also ordered an extra piece of sardine a la carte towards the end but ended up have a huge bone stuck in his throat for the whole night. NGL, it is one of the hardest fish to filet but at least the chef should have sliced/broken down the bones to smaller pieces so their customers would not choke on it.

all the omakase spots by the ume hospitality group are spectacular, and sekai is no exception. it's easy to miss this restaurant if you're just passing by on the street, as the entrance is unmarked with subtle signage. my friend and i came on a weekday and had a great value omakase meal - 16 pieces for $108! the pieces are small, but very fresh and flavorful. the chefs are friendly and accommodating. we asked for an off-the-menu add-on with chutoro, which we really appreciated! thank you chefs! i especially enjoyed the pana cotta -esque dessert at the end of the meal, which was "not too sweet"!

Excellent omakase at the price point. The smoked mackerel night and buckwheat pudding were highlights

Amazing experience with fresh fish, unique flavors, and great service. I went for dinner with a friend, and since it was to celebrate my birthday, they also ended the omakase with a mochi ice cream and candle. Such a cute touch for my birthday! The omakase itself had many courses (I can't remember the exact number but I think it was at least 15). They also had a wine and beer list available, and I tried a yuzu beer that was light and delicious. The interior is absolutely beautiful! You get to sit at the bar and watch the sushi chef make all the food in front of you. The area is intimate but not cramped. Only downside: it's difficult to find. I walked past it a few times back and forth looking for it. You have to go downstairs and there's no clear sign on the street. Hopefully they add signage!

Decided to do a last minute Omakase on a weekday in NYC so was lucky enough to get a reservation here! We got dropped off at Soho and was having difficulty finding the actual location. But if you use google map, you can easily navigate to the restaurant. It's actually on the ground floor so you have to take the stairs to the bottom floor. We were seated promptly at our table surrounding the chef and this is a 14-course Omakase meal that is Definitely worth your money! The quality of the sushi was not the highest that I've ever had but it was still like grade A. The 14 course was pretty solid actually. The meat was prepared and served right in front of you. At the end, the restaurant also offers extra entrees if you wanted more for your meal. There's also a complimentary Japanese pudding for dessert. I really like this low-key but high quality Omakase place. Great for enjoying with friends and love ones !

Sekai is one of the few sushiya offering authentic edomae sushi at this price point, if not the only. It's my only choice for affordable omakase in the city. Chef Eddy spent more budgets on procuring high quality fish, actually age them in the traditional edomae style (salt and vinegar only), than serving stacked sushi with low quality ingredients and tacky condiments. It's a small shop but the course progression is more than complete. You are guaranteed to enjoy a full spectrum of authentic sushi toppings, many of which require real training and efforts to prepare, and I have never had similar experiences in comparable establishments. I would especially recommend Sekai for new sushi enthusiats as it serves as a proper introduction. That said, it's no less than an excellent spot for experienced eaters thanks to its honest authenticity.

Food experience was perfect, the quality of fish were fresh. The Nigiris were good but a chef had extra little bit of wasabi in mine. It wasn't too bad to be honest because the flavors of the fish was top notched. I love the perfect ending in my omakaze and the pudding was the best ending that I could have asked for. Well balanced flavors, not too sweet, not too milky. Just perfect. The service was good. Shout out to the chef asking us how we doing and making sure we feel comfortable. My partner and I have to wait before being seated. The restaurant was cozy and good room temperature.

Food was super fresh...loved the omakase. Service was good and the setting was pretty nice...its a solid 4.5 for the evening. Recommend

Food? Basic sushi and overpriced alcohol... I had their Sauvignon Blanc, which was terrible then tried one of their red wines which was equally terrible. Service was excellent, which is why I gave them 2 stars. Perhaps I was expecting too much having read that Eddie Yang (owner) was a veteran of Masa for 10 years. But being a self proclaimed sushi expert, I would give this place 1 star at most.

This is an extremely well priced omakase that we enjoyed a lot. Came here with three other people and ordered sake (you get to pick your own glasses) and enjoyed the multiple courses. There was a new fish that I'd never heard of before that they walked around with a picture of which was really neat. The otoro was also so tender because they specifically serve it with the tendon removed- there's great attention to detail which is appreciated. At the end of the meal you can choose from a list of add ons- I chose the tuna collar and the wagyu which you can top with truffle or caviar. Both of these pieces were amazing, definitely recommend. Would come back!

Took my girlfriend here for dinner. Overall the food was pretty solid, I like that towards the end, you have the option to purchase additional pieces but you can't purchase items served during dinner or other items shown on their site as they just aren't available on the menu The selection that they offer during the omakase is well worth it but did still leave me a little hungry so the supplement menu at the end was a nice touch. I wish they had a slightly bigger omakase with an additional 2 or 3 pieces. The supplement menu was a bit pricey - we added the squid but wish they had uni available. The only item on there with uni was the toro with uni - if there was an uni option OR toro option, I probably would have gone with one of them but between the toro with uni combination and the pricing, it seemed like overkill. The counter is pretty big, I think in total including us, there were about 10 or 12 seats and about 3 sushi chefs preparing for each section of the table. The only things I would change is that I wish they would make the setting more intimate as it felt like at some points we were sitting in a cafeteria as there were some loud people talking. I also wish our chef spoke a little louder, we weren't able to hear him that well compared the the other chefs that were speaking. The staff would show us pictures on an iPad of the fish we were eating which felt like a kid showing us their google search. Maybe have the staff describe what is being served instead of having the chefs describe it? Also wish they offered drinks but the glass instead of just by the bottle. My girlfriend and I were looking at the drink menu but didn't want to have to order an entire bottle of sake so we decided to skip it instead.

Enjoyed an intimate and entertaining omakase experience! Despite the small size, the cozy atmosphere added to the charm. The servers were delightful, showcasing pictures of the fishes we were about to enjoy.

Great service and great food. Each piece in the omakase was delicious. Had me wishing they were a bit bigger :') really impressive ikura and tuna especially.

How is this place not 6 stars. Really great bespoke service and a fun environment. This is truly authentic (Japan) Omakase with some really great touches. Trust the awesomeness and enjoy.

Ok, A LOT to unpack with this one. Not because of its menu but because of its potential. This is a young gem plucked from the muddy stones of its origin, it just feels that, with patience and time, this could grow into something great. It affordable omakase, clean simple bar design, careful service and a pleasant selection of sake. This would be 'neighborhood sushi' if the world permitted such a thing. They belong in NYC, they NEED to change the landscape but they need time. Something not often afforded fledgling Restaurants. Slow serving, well prepared selections but not a wide range of total color.....this will change. People, give this time and ye shall be rewarded! --------------------- Ok / so now we finished the meal some more developments: meh / the fish was well prepared but not much different. The price was kinda over the top for the fare. Also, when a one party at our omekaze decided on another order, the rest of us HAD TO SIT THERE while they ate....WTF? I have officially taken this down from 4 to 2 as they were overpriced, underserved and kinda lost it I the end. We're weee then served a tasteless custard as desert. We were out of there, NYC do you usual.

Omakase experiences in New York are like the gap clothing brand of stores. We have the low end old navy, the mid tier gap, and the "higher" tier of banana republic. With a new omakase restaurant popping up every week, there are clear differences in what you get for your money. The lower tiers are under $75, one hour, with low quality, mid tiers are $80-$110 - hour and a half service, high tier - Michelin star level $150+ Sekai omakase falls under the mid tier. It's $108 for 16 courses - 2 appetizers, 12 nigiri, 1 hand roll , and dessert. It's also BYOB for now which is amazing. Appetizers: -firefly squid - first course started out decent. Fresh but was better with the sauce - tuna with dashi - not bad, flavors were mild Nigiri sushi: -The first piece was otoro which I found odd. Usually you would have toro in at least the middle end due to the fattiness - after was lean toro - was very confused on why they would serve this after otoro -the rest of the pieces were satisfactory - consisted of Spanish mackerel, amberjack, ikura, anago, king salmon(torched) -uni was from Hokkaido and was creamy and delish -toro handroll - very decent -ikura (fish eggs) one of my favorites of the n -buckwheat pudding for dessert - good hints of coffee and good end to the night Nothing really blew my mind. Of course for this price point, the fish isn't going to come from Japan. The chef worked at masa and nakasawa so the technique is definitely there. The quality is of what you would expect for the price point. The rice was actually good - no issues there. I keep on telling myself that I won't go to mid tier omakase places, but I had hope since the chef was from my favorite omakase places. **dear white people - don't take the plate that the sushi chef puts the sushi on! Just grab with your fingers and eat in one bite!

For a 16 course omakase for $108, you definitely get a band for your buck. The fish is good quality and the servers showed images of the fish to keep us informed of what each course was. The eel and the toro were my favorites! The appetizers were pretty unique and ended off with a refreshing buckwheat pudding dessert. Everything was presented super well and the vibes were great. The chef was very nice and even slowed down serving us each course when we were a little behind. The entrance is slightly difficult to find, there isn't a sign in the front of the store but when you notice a set of steps down to the ground floor - that's where the store is!

Very yummy! 16 courses (2 apps, 13 nigiri, 1 dessert) were all very worth the $108 price tag. (I admittedly did miss a few photos since I was busy eating.. ) They do have a wine and sake list available to supplement the meal, which my boyfriend and I did opt in for. The interior is beautifully designed and the chefs and staff were all very attentive and knowledgeable. Overall an excellent experience, good bang for your buck. Would go again! :)

Came here after looking for a new Omakase spot to try and I was not disappointed. You can tell how talented a sushi chef is by how good their rice is and how well the sushi is packed with rice, not a single rice fell when picked up. The chef worked at Masa and Nakazawa and you can totally tell from his skills. Normally I wouldn't care about the dessert, but the buckwheat pudding was soooooo good! Highly recommed this Omakase! P.S they do NOT have BYOB anymore!

Went for an anniversary outing and it was an unforgettable experience with a very professional and kind staff. With amazing fresh ingredients and a very vibey atmosphere.

Wonderful presentation. So much tradition and care into every step. It was such an experience. Small venue felt exclusive and personal, the details were really there at every turn. Very attentive staff. The food was incredible. If you are a sushi fan, this is definitely something to experience.

I love this place some of my favorite sushi in the city pricing is a bit high but it's ok because the food makes up for it

This place was a typical omakase place with some very unique appetizers included in the tasting menu. Overall, I don't have any complaints, as the food and service and ambiance was all great; however, I would have preferred to go to another omakase place I tried that has the same quality for a cheaper price or go to a more expensive place with much better quality. This place is pretty mid-tier in the omakase category for me. But still great, like I said- no complaints!!

None of the sushi really stood out, mostly were little bland. Especially last piece, eel was very dry. I wouldn't recommend here if you tried more upper scale omakase places. Best to spend little more and try other Japanese owned omakase. This is Chinese chef owned omakase. Gave two star because it's affordable omakase, but I'd probably won't be coming here. Bill comes around $400 for two with bottle of small sake. I realized this was also run by Ume Williamsburg..I had given low rating to them in the past. Same goes here, I do not recommend here or Ume. Also, no wine list.

My friend made reservations here for my birthday. They texted him to confirm and requested that we arrive 5 min in advance so we did. We weren't seated til 20 min later? The intimate omakase experience for the price point can be nice. For that they get 5*. The appetizers were 4*, the sushi, 3*. Some of the pieces fell apart and dropped when I put them in my mouth which means the rice was too wet. They had 4 mackerel pieces which is odd and unfortunate because I generally am not a fan. Overall wasn't impressed by any of the courses / pieces. The hand roll was wrapped in way too much sushi and the preparation was slow. I was holding mine for a few min before my friend got his. The dessert was good tho. This is a Chinese own and operated restaurant. So the vibe is a bit different. Like no tea was served / offered, and as soon as we finished our last bite and before we were done with the sake, they came and asked to settle the bill. Not cool. For the price point I'd rather go to DomoDomo next door. If you value the omakase counter experience more than the taste of the food than come here.

Beautiful space, decent omakase and reasonably priced. Attentive staff. I will definitely visit again.

This was an amazing experience. I have little words. The food was stunning and the environment delicate. Get yourself here now to experience the most incredible ingredients and outstanding service.

Sekai Omakase is brought to you by the team that also runs Shinn East in the East Village and Ume in Williamsburg. If you're looking for something more austere than the wagyu/uni/ikura/truffle-ladened experience at Shinn East, Sekai fills that gap. While Sekai nails down the hidden gem aesthetic of a Tokyo sushi den, the food does not pass muster. Let me say upfront that for $108, two apps, 12 nigiri, a hand roll, and a dessert, it's good value. I was drawn into their promise of "less is more" and "home brewed soy sauce" and "quality ingredients first" philosophy, but unfortunately the neta and shari themselves just were not that great. My rice was consistently mushy overly wet and had no flavor. The sequencing of their nigiri was very odd - it started off with otoro, the reason being "it's too bad it's served last because then you're too full to appreciate it". Well, that utterly backfired, because by the last few mediocre pieces, I was really ready to walk away and decline whatever else they served. The king salmon suffered from a lack of a cure and had the blobby, loose texture of poke bowl salmon. Not appetizing. My favorites were the starting ankimo and the mackerel - but frankly I've had much better mackerel that respected its taste and didn't flavor it with wood smoke. No matter how "good value" Sekai was, I personally will not return here. Perhaps if you're a sushi novice who currently operates at less than $100 omakase prices or if you don't care or know that much about quality.

If you're looking for an omakase experience devoid of fluff, where substance is valued over shine, where wasabi and house-made soy sauce are the focal seasonings, and where the quality of the fish is the centerpiece, look no further than Sekai. In a dim, unassuming downstairs level on Houston St. is this gem of a restaurant. Starting off strong with a mackerel appetizer, and their chu-toro and o-toro nigiris, you get the sense that Sekai is confident in the pure quality of the fish; toppings are minimal, and instead, each piece is brushed lightly with soy sauce and just a dab of wasabi. Most interesting to me was the kinds of fish that you can find here. I've been to several sushi joints, omakase and otherwise, and over time, you start to see the same kinds of fish over and over. Sekai offered a few that I had actually never encountered before (including a beakfish, which was delicious). Typically the weakest point in any omakase, their dessert stood out to me as an unexpected counterpoint: a buckwheat pudding, perfectly silky and sweet. At $108 and 16 courses, it is a steal.

fun, intro, low pressure omakase kind of place. you get 2 apps, 12 pieces of nigiri, 1 hand roll, and a dessert. absolutely loved the pudding dessert (like genmaicha flavor!!) and if it is your bday, they put a candle in it LOL the fish is fresh but the rice is kind of odd imo? can't make a good assessment but was a bit off fish could definitely be cut thicker and i think the amount of wasabi per bite could be qc'ed a bit better (but i love wasabi so who cares on my end lmao) for $108/pp + tax and tip it's a great place to try out omakase if you don't wanna drop rent on dinner. bring friends, grab a bottle of sake, and just chill. definitely relaxed vibes. also love the ipad for visual reference (they show you a photo of the lesser known fish)

Our first time here at Adelaide, me and my husband came on an occasion to celebrate our anniversary. We made reservations beforehand, they were very accommodating, we were running late to die traffic and arrived 15 mins later than our reservation time. I texted them to let them them know about arriving late and thankfully it was alright. It was a 16 course omakase, priced at $108 I believe. The apps were alright, loved the crab and cucumber mix but the 2nd app was a bit fishy in my opinion. It was a tuna dish. I don't quite remember the names of the fish or the dish. All the pieces of fish was very fresh and good. The only complaint is that the sizes of the pieces was a bit on the smaller side in my opinion. We've had other omakase before and in comparison to others, we just felt like the pieces of fish could be bigger. My husband has a shellfish allergy and he was accommodated with alternatives. The ebi and scallop was really good, very fresh and sweet. The red snapper, tuna and salmon were one of the best pieces that I had. Not a fan of the mackerel or the eel though. It comes with a hand roll, we had a toro hand roll which was really good as well. At the end of the course, we were served a dessert, I didn't catch the name of the dessert. But it had a consistency of tofu pudding and tasted somewhat like almond milk and hojicha (I can be completely wrong). Overall we had a really good experience and we were content with the meal.

I enjoyed the meal with Chef Eddie who used to work under Three-Michelin star chef Masa Takayama. The food is great for its price $100 for 16 dishes. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant have been open for just four months. Please give them a try.

Ambiance, service, and quality are all wonderful at Sekai. The decor is very warm and minimal, making it a relaxing experience overall. Once seated, we chose to order some sake and were able to choose our own cups from a variety of beautiful options. We offered some of our sake to our sushi chef and he made a few gentle jokes when serving our dishes that added to the light, welcoming ambiance. Each dish was a little different from the other, with some that stood out completely, and was full of flavor and was carefully and meticulously assembled.

Excellent Omakase option -- an intimate setting with high-quality ingredients. We enjoyed the toro (lean and fatty!), the red snapper and the king salmon. There's also options to upgrade your experience, such as by getting a piece of A5 wagyu with the choice of caviar or truffle ($25 more pp). Worth every penny.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but great little hidden Omakase inside. Space is sparse but meticulously clean and service was attentive. There are no seats except counter seats here and in addition to several people working behind the bar with the fish there were 2 people working in server/host roles when we came. My husband and I are long time sushi lovers but new to the Omakase experience. We both had a lovely evening here and left full and happy and having some of the best sushi

With so much omakase options in nyc, this one definitely stood out to me. Fish is of high quality and the rice is amongst the best. You can really tell the chef knows his stuff which, at this price point is fairly rare. I personally prefer this simpler approach to sushi in which every piece allows the fish to stand out rather than be covered in a ton of sauce or toppings. Highly recommend.

Food was BUSSING. If you want an authentic omakase with high-quality fishes, you will not be disappointed.
