Kura

Amazing. Did the 20 piece omakase for 150, it came with two small appetizers, soup and dessert. Each piece is unique and delicious. Say it's a birthday and they give you free dessert and a Polaroid!

Excellent and delicious, defiantly comparable to nakazawa with a way less stuffy feel. The sake the waitress recommended was great too! Old school jazz and intimate bar dining totally transports you.

Relatively reasonably priced Omakase with unbelievably fresh and delicious fish. The intimate 12 person restaurant makes the experience feel even more special.

I've heard it called a poor man's Nakazawa which is awesome for me since I'm not baller enough to Nakazawa frequently. Kura has solid fish and entertaining service courtesy of chef. Get the omakase.

They don't have a menu. But 85 dollar omakasa for 13 sushi pieces is well worth the price. The place is small and hidden make sure you don't miss it. Also don't forget to make reservation!

Cheaper than a flight to Japan and totally worth it. Order one (or two) size smaller meal than you think you need and you can always order more after.

Tiny place tucked away from the St Marks madness. Impressive and extremely satisfying omakase. Felt like I was in Tokyo.

In my humble opinion, one of the best Sushi restaurants in NYC. Ishizuka-san, owner/chef, puts his heart and soul into each offering.

Omakase is incredible here and not priced out of range. Very chill setting with extra nice chefs. Sushi selection is super tasty.

$85 omakase option includes 13 pieces of sushi, 2 small appetizers, miso soup & dessert. enough to fill me up but i did covet my neighbors' stuffed squid (which we ended up ordering) and raw shrimp.

Love this place! Traditional but super laid back and some of the more unique offerings I've seen. Raw cherry blossom shrimp! Got the large omakase, which is really filling.

I had the small omakase with two hot entrees-- the duck and chawanmushi (steamed egg). Everything was wonderful but it was the great service and jolly chefs that makes this place stand out!

Intimate spot with delicious and fresh sushi. We did the medium size omakase and loved it (13 pieces for $105).

The menu exists in the chef’s head, and you can watch him as he works. The majority of Kura’s fish is shipped straight from the motherland. Specialties include squid sashimi and giant clam.

18pcs omakase is the way to go

We chose the $65 sushi omakase and at the end were still ready for more, so Norihiro gave us 2 more pieces- one uni and with that we said good night to one of the best sushi meals ever.

Definitely a top tier sushi omakase restaurant in new york city. Highly recommended to those who seek quality sushi.

truly awesome sushi & service - 3 omakase options, various cooked appetizers and great sake list. funny sushi chef is added bonus.

Kura is one of those places I ache to go back to the moment I leave. Simply phenomenal. Will need to sit at sushi bar next time!

Wonderful food made and served to you by wonderful people. Some of the best sushi I've had. And so refreshingly unpretentious. Call for seats in advance.

Pretty good omakase. Had to order a few extra pieces at the end. Would like to go back and sit with Chef Ishizuka (check out his business card!).

Adorable prix fixe sushi menu. Feel adventurous. Or mention your distaste for giant clams :)

Simple, clean food and unpretentious atmosphere. Do the omakase (Kappo and regular if you go with someone so you can try both). Really enjoyed and will be back soon.

An oasis hidden behind a wooden door. A beautiful omakase experience without too much formality. Make reservations to sit in front of the chef.

After a delightful meal here, I couldn't eat any Asian food for a week. It was too good, and I didn't want to ruin it. Get everything and come hungry

Two types of omakase at 65 or 85: kappo (cooked dishes with sushi) or all sushi. I prefer the 85 sushi omakase (uni and chutoro my favvvvv).

Best Omakase I had so far. But the 20 piece menu plus sashimi and extras for 180 bucks was too much for me.

Did the $105 cooked + sushi tasting and gotta say, it rocked. Unlike any other omakase you'll have for the price. yum.

Obsessed with the mackerel pressed sushi

Omakase 👌 - exceptional meal, service and ambiance.

Get the 105 dollar Omakase. And if you're lucky, there might be hotaru Ika or Sakura ebi in season

Amazing hidden sushi bar. The chef is awesome. I've been twice and it's been worth every penny

We eat at many high end sushi places and this place is NOT at the same level while the price is comparable. Service was great but omakase was very average (we chose $180,the most extensive)

There's no sign but walk past the curtain, open the door and be transported to a hidden gem. Chef Norihito will not let you down.

Sit down. Shut up. Let the food come to you. Talk to the chef and soak in the atmosphere. You're in Japan.

Love the omakase and small space which means a prime spot at the sushi bar.

The best omakase in NYC. Hands down.

Omakase! Go for the 15 piece. Medium fatty tuna! Amazing!

Intimate scene with friendly staff. Great for special occasions

Fantastic edomae style sushi. also really enjoyed the stuffed squid

Consistently good, traditional omakase. Save space for the mackerel and anago.

Favorite sushi place in NYC

Got the 12-banger for $100. Pretty pretty pretty pretty good!

Omakase or bust. And ask for a sake recommendation.

Ask for a piece of scallop sushi.

Very intimate space. Seats only 12 people at a time. Delicious fish.

Best sushi spot in NYC in you are willing to spend the time.

Omakase! Maybe my favorite in the city. Need reservations.

One of the most amazing soups ever. Tuna miso soup. I already know that I'll crave it...

Excellent low-key vibe and exceptional service. Order the omakase and savor the experience.
