Sekai Omakase

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.

I was delighted with the dishes offered! Sooo delicious! Once I even cried from a particularly delicious fish, it felt so amazing in my mouth! Henry was a pleasant chef, whose work was interesting to watch. A huge thank you to him!

An exquisite culinary journey that unfolds in layers of flavor, each bite a meticulous composition. This omakase experience offers a densely woven tapestry of sensations that dance on the palate. The chef's artistry is evident in every morsel, presenting a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that reveal themselves gradually. What sets this experience apart is the chef's commentary - akin to a skillful documentary narration, it complements each dish without overshadowing the tasting experience. Their measured explanations flow naturally, enhancing our understanding and appreciation without interrupting the meal's rhythm. The staff's warm professionalism further enriches the serene ambiance. In this tranquil haven, the interplay of flavors, subtle explanations, and gentle service creates an evening that resonates in memory long after the last exquisite bite.

Really amazing meal from chef Henry! The sushi here is very clean and simple but it’s incredible. Great flavors, seasonal fish, and amazing service. Everyone is so friendly and really cares about the guest experience. I love it here - have been twice in a few months and plan to return.

Thank you to the entire staff for the best Omakase experience in Manhattan. The fish is unbelievable. The atmosphere quaint and calming. I can’t say enough positive things. I don’t know how anyone can say anything even remotely negative about this place. Bravo!!!

It is a 16 course with 2 appetizers and 12 nigiris and 1 hand roll and a dessert. The chefs grate wasabi and katsuobushi fresh. The fish was good but I felt a bit weird when shown the pictures of dead fish I'm eating on an ipad. Rice was too vinegary so even a small portion of rice was overpowering. Also felt that the pace of the course was super slow. It took >90min for the entire course to come out and more if you ordered a la carte. The music was putting us to sleep. For the price it's okay but probably won't be back.

Me and my friend went to celebrate birthday but food was quiet disappointing. We’ve been to many omakase restaurants in the city and certainly won’t come back to this one. It was hard to finish appetizers due to fishy smell and unbalanced flavors. So are the rest of the course the balance between fish, rice, wasabi, soy sauce and other condiments was lacking. When they used torch, it wasn’t evenly cooked so it didn’t taste consistent. Out of the 12 or so nigiri, only 2 gave you some sort of good enough factor. It tasted amateurish throughout the course which made us want to just leave after having 4th one…. It’s cute that it has a speakeasy vibe but the music in the restaurant reminds you Chinese body massage rooms. Overall, wasn’t thrilled with anything and it was actually hard to even finish the course as it wasn’t good at all. Don’t recommend.
