Sekai Omakase

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!

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.

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)

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!

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.

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!

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.

Exceptional meal, we have been talking about it for weeks. All very high quality sushi we especially loved the raw shrimp and different types of tuna
