Sushi Kai - East Village

"Delicious, first of all. All the ingredients felt pretty high quality. It’s definitely great bang for you buck. My favorite course of the omakase was the hamachi with torched shishito peppers, soooo good. My only concern is that there were way too many courses with truffle, felt a bit overdone. So worth a try!"

"Sushi Kai lands smack dab in the middle; its good quality for the price, the space is simple and beautiful, and overall should go. The omakase, overall, is simple and there wasn't too much in a stand out piece. As you can see on the pictures, the there is no wipedown of the plates between pieces. Service overall was nice, and e didn't feel rushed, which is def a point above some other omakase spots in the same price range."

"Fabulous omakase! The service was friendly and attentive. Our chef was genuinely interested in what dishes we were enjoying most. A reservation is for one hour at the counter service, which I was concerned about. But the chef perfectly paces each course so you don’t feel rushed."

"Omakase amazingness! Each bite was heaven, loved scallop, various rounds with caviar and with truffle toppers. A small spot with all bar seats so you can watch the magic unfold. Super fresh, price is now $85 for omakase and can BYOB. Did that and then got sake also. Totally worth it dining experience!"

"Sushi Kai is officially one of my favorite omakase spots in the city. Loved their new combinations with shrimp and scallops. Their choice of making the sushi richer rather than the usual route of going light really sold me. Some of my favorite pieces of the night was the scallop with caviar, shrimp with foie gras, ikura w uni, wagyu with uni and the otoro w/ caviar."
