Ushiwakamaru - New York

Service was bad: waitress came over every 30 seconds asking if we are ready to order as we just sat down. She didn’t help and was simply annoyed doing her job. Rude.There is no atmosphere. It’s very basic and a bit hot.

This sushi course was incredible and 1L draft Sapporo made it all the better! So good I forgot to take pictures, always the highest compliment to the chef.

Really disappointed. Have had many Omakase around the world, but this was too disappointing I had to review. Quality was good, yes. Nothing creative or fancy. Problem was service was bad, food timing is poor, wagyu beef was cold and chewy. Sushi rice falls apart when picking up. A few flies around during our entire dinner time. We kept swatting them away, two times the flies landed on our sushi. Staff didn’t even acknowledge the flies let along make any attempt to do something about it. This was throughout the entire dinner, them just watching my wife and me swatting flies from our plates. Bathroom was gross, rusted doors, gross floors and the handle was held on by a an entire roll of clear masking tape. Hard to understand the positive comments. Not worth the $251 per person is an understatement

Great food and service. There's a bit of old rundown feel to the interior but just grab a seat at the sushi bar and you'll just have a great time. Excellent sake selection, also.Food: 5/5

When we ate here in Feb 2023, they told us upon arrival that they ONLY serve omakase now. The price is $198 for one 16 piece omakase.Many of the pieces were delicious and quite special, but there were a few that I was not adventurous enough to enjoy (raw baby eels with dipping sauce). The meal came with miso soup and a mediocre dessert. Overall this meal felt overpriced and not that enjoyable. We wouldn't go back.
