Comment: Good for dating but I have too high standards for omakase. This is omakase for young ppl or middle class men. I liked experience overall.

Comment: Came here on a Friday night and it was very easy to secure a last minute reservation for 3 people. Theres typical seating at the bar but there are also two private tables for 2 and one private table for 4 in the back that can reserved by calling. The service was great and the sushi was all very delicious. We opted for the 18-course meal which runs $118 per person (the 15-course is $98 pp) and had a couple Sapporo beers at $7 each. Overall, I really enjoyed the omakase experience at Kaiyo and would definitely try again.

Comment: Highly recommend!First of all, the fish was absolutely delicious. My partner and I got the 15 course omakase and loved every dish. I loved that for so many of the pieces, the high quality fish was the star of the show. The chef would add a touch of a simple pairing that would perfectly complement the fish. My favorite was yellowtail with shishito pepper— they seemed made for each other! And the sweet shrimp with just a touch of lime was incredible. There were also some complex plates that I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Definitely top-notch omakase!The servers were very attentive, welcoming and accommodating. I love the vibes too, with the brick wall and intimate setting.

Comment: I’ve walked past here for 2 years and only now stopped in.Food was excellent, we ordered the 15 course set. They were attentive to my partner’s preference of no uni.There was a good variety of complicated and simple bites, all excellent. I was very pleased with the quality of fish, everything was top tier, no disappointing bites.Staff was very attentive, they asked half way through if the wasabi / soy sauce level needed adjusting.Just overall great quality and unpretentious experience

Comment: It was amazing atmosphere . My husband had a great birthday dinner. They asked about how to adjust the omakase and gave him a birthday card . It shows the detail in customer service. They didnt make an overdramatic birthday wishes but made sure the occasion is being celebrated.

Comment: Modern, chic, and high quality omakase in Long Island City! 🍣 Both their raw and cooked fish were fresh and delicious.Inside, it’s a cozy, intimate and beautifully minimal feel. Watching and interacting with the chef throughout the 15-course meal made the experience more memorable.It’s good for a date night or to go with a group of girl friends.

Comment: I moved into the area recently and had walked by this restaurant a few times and finally made a reservation. I went here with my girlfriend for a date night and the food and service were great. We opted for the 18-course dinner and it was worth every penny and we left very satisfied. Highlights included the fatty tuna with the caviar. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area and will definitely return.

Comment: I celebrated my birthday here with my fiancée and it was the perfect choice.The atmosphere, food, hospitality, and overall was superb.Ive had omasake all over NYC and here I felt great. The comfort, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness in their creativity was apparent in every bite.It was fun, light, and impressionable.I even got a thoughtful card for my birthday from their team. No details are overlooked and no piece of the experience was too small.

Comment: Super high quality and so grateful its in the LIC neighborhood! DEFINITELY recommended.The experience was intimate, with seating for about 10-12 in front of the chefs, but with tables in the back as well for a la carte dining. We were seated next to friendly folks so instantly had a fun connection during dinner and the staff was extremely attentive and professional throughout.The seafood was unbelievably fresh and delicious. My personal favorites were the OToro and the King Salmon but the Nigiri was up there as were all the tuna options. In short - all SO GOOD. Topped off with dessert, our 15 and 18 course omakase experience at Kaiyo was well worth it and had us content and happy.

Comment: Really wonderful new omakase place in LIC. The fish was top quality - some of the freshest, melt-in-your mouth otoro I’ve ever had. The wait staff was exception - some of the best service I’ve had in all of NYC. Recommend to anyone who loves omakase or sushi. They even hand wrote a kind birthday card for my partner’s birthday - those small touches really make you feel welcome. Will definitely return.

Comment: I tried a number of sushi spots in Manhattan and Long Island City and this was definitely one of the best spots for me. No frills, all about the sushi, prepared piece by piece right in front of you when youre sitting at the bar (thats the best way to experience this). As for 4 stars for atmosphere, that is very personal to me but I cant stand cool jazz and it was blaring during the whole evening.

Comment: Incredible and totally exceeded expectations! The fish was fresh, service attentive, and ambiance relaxing. It was the perfect way to spend a Friday evening. Flavors were well balanced and complemented the fish rather than overpowered it. We’re picky with our sushi and will definitely be back again. Excellent addition to the neighborhood!

It is the perfect place to gather with your friends after work or go on a date with your partner! I was surprised by the high-quality dishes at such reasonable prices. Every aspect of the meal was just PERFECT. I’d definitely come back again🍻

Comment: This is the second time me trying omakase 🍣 I cannot express how amazed I was by the entire experience. From the moment I walked through the door until the final bite, it was an absolute delight 💛 Each dish presented was a work of art. What impressed me even more was the warm and welcoming nature of the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was exceptional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Not only is it affordable, but the quality of the food is undeniably five stars. Trust me, you wont be disappointed! 👍🏻🔥

Comment: Amazing service and even more amazing food. The fish is fresh, the sauce ratio is perfect…Kaiyo means “sea” in Japanese. I felt my taste buds and mind drift back to my simpler days in Tokyo. Times where the entropy of daily life would float away. Kaiyo Omakase has that distinct ability to transport your body and soul to a more enlightened state of being.

Comment: Went in with no expectations (because, LIC 😆) but was so pleasantly surprised!This place is good, and would definitely revisit.Fresh fish, a lot of care in each dish, flavourful, attentive and very filling. Amazing to have an omakase option in the neighbourhood that’s actually good!- Unlimited sake right now!- Reservations can be made through their Yelp page- Dessert is just mochi ice cream, perhaps this can be something more special and created in house

Comment: Between the food, service, and drinks, we couldnt have asked for a better omakase experience. Did the 18 piece and my favorites were the hamachi, otoro, bluefin, and hand roll. The service was so attentive and polite. They were pouring some house sake as a limited time thing on the house which was very generous. And if that wasnt enough, they not only brought dessert for my birthday, they actually wrote me a birthday card. Yes, a restaurant gave me a birthday card! I have to say that was a first and made the night even more special to not only have such amazing food but also experience above and beyond hospitality. Cant recommend the food and service enough. Worth a try especially since its so many pieces and very affordable. It rivals some of the best sushi Ive had in Manhattan for sure.

Comment: Great dinner experience. Overall the fish was fresh and amazing. I had to call to get a reservation because the website was confusing. I would save overall good experience, only thing I can note is due to calling to get a reservation the server was confused on my arrival and then they were a little over attentive when it came to refilling water. It’s a pretty small space so someone popping in every 5 minutes to refill my still mostly full water was a bit distracting to the experience. With that said it was obviously done to ensure great service but was just a little distracting since it’s pretty tight we’re the seats are. Also prices have been slightly increased since soft opening

Comment: Weve been frequent customers of the previous establishment, so we were hoping the new place lives up to our expectations. We are relieved to say that the Omakase was very good.With that said, our waiter was very unpleasant, rude and simply needs some good training. Owner, please let him know the difference between 18 pieces VS 15 pieces shouldnt be I dont know and I cant find out. Rushing the customer to order because ...there are next... is rude. Next what?Ill come back, I hope service will be improved.

Comment: For me, I wasnt the biggest Omakase person, but after eating at Kaiyo Omakase.... I think I converted. The quality of the food, how its executed, and how happy you feel eating it is all top tier. The staff is super friendly and hospitality is on point. Easily #1 omakase restaurant on my list. MUST TRY.

Comment: I came here during Kaiyos soft opening, and was extremely pleasantly surprised. I selected the 18-course, and with each piece practically melting in my mouth, it was clear that every piece was made with only the freshest ingredients. The service was also attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about each piece that was served. I ended with the special they offer called The Pop Under the Atlantic, and this one was simply a chefs kiss, with both visual and gustatory surprises. Though the exterior may make it easy to miss as you walk by, Im glad I didnt miss out on this spot!

Comment: Great service and amazing food. I had the 18 course option and it was well worth the money. My favorites included the Wagyu + Uni + Ankimo as well as the King Salmon. It was fresh and flavorful. They gave us a brief description of each piece and catered to our food restrictions. It’s a great place to bring a group and have a good time over delicious food.

Comment: What an amazing experience! This was my first ever Omakase experience and it certainly wont be my last. Service was impeccable. It was great seeing the sushi chefs work front and center and our chef was particularly funny and engaging. The sushi was top notch, the best Ive ever had. The ingredients were obviously fresh and the creativity of many of their pieces were very impressive. I plan on coming back again with a loved one and I would absolutely recommend Kaiyo Omakase to all of my friends.

Comment: So glad to find this incredible gem opened in the neighborhood! It was the best Omakase experience I’ve had in all of NYC. At less than $100, it’s one of the most reasonably priced I know of in the five boroughs, yet the quality of the fishes was amazing. Everything was super fresh, flavorful and wonderfully presented; you can tell that the chefs put in efforts in perfecting each pieces with well-prepared ingredients and the choice of sauces and food building the layers of flavor. Service was fantastic - I’m absolutely in love with the bottomless sake they offer right now! And even the way this space was designed was thoughtful, giving a cozy, relaxing vibe. I will definitely visit again and I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of top quality Japanese food without a hefty price tag!
