Comment: This place has decent omakase for a decent price ($120/pp). Omakase for 2, a bottle of sake, and 2 Sapporo beers came out to $360, including tax and tip. The sushi chef is very nice and explains what each piece is as it’s served. The service is great overall. I wasn’t a particular fan of the fish liver which were unfortunately 2 of the 16 pieces served.

Comment: Came here with high expectations and they were exceeded. The fish was all incredibly fresh and the flavors they were prepared with were so delicious. Nothing was overpowering and the sushi chefs and staff were so kind and informative. Will definitely come back when we get the chance and highly recommend. The portions were also so good for the price! If you love Japanese food and are looking to explore more of that, this is the best place.

Comment: We chose to do the Unique Omakase and has an amazing time! The food was incredible and extremely fresh. I loved every single bite and thought the use of creative ingredients did not ruin the taste of the fish. They change their menu seasonally so I cant wait to come back and try their new menu. Delicious.

Comment: We really liked this place, quaint, good service. Ingredients were fresh, course successions/planning was on point. You get to enjoy 15 courses made with high end ingredients such as chutoro, otoro, caviar, wagyu, foie gras and uni for only $85. It’s GREAT value in NYC. They also have à la carte add-ons with fancier ingredients that I wish I could try, but I was really stuffed by the omakase itself and did not have additional stomach capacity. The whole meal took about 2 hours, with a 5-10 minutes spacing between each course, restaurant is pretty quiet, definitely would be a good date spot to have a good conversation.

Comment: I had a great Omakasa experience at Unique, a small, intimate, family owned and operated Japanese restaurant offering a great, affordable, $85 15 course Omakasa Experience.The sushi was incredible, fresh creative and large portions. The service felt personal, with the chef/owner and his wife being very attentive.I totally enjoyed that gem of a restaurant. 💎

Comment: Fairly priced omakase for the price. They rotate their menu every week. You get fresh and creative pieces. The service was great. You also get hot tea with your meal. Would recommend them! Would try them over Sushi by M.

Comment: Very friendly chef, good quality fish and uni.You won’t get the high end restaurant atmosphere & experience here with this price, the food itself is still worth it though.I will come back again.

Comment: This place is amazing! Yes $85 is a lot but the place is byob so if u think about it you save a ton being able to bring a bottle of wine vs being somewhere where it is $15/ drink. Also, I left full and satisfied. The sushi came with literal gold flakes! One came with truffle. Magical experience. Even tho it is byob the woman put my wine on ice and made sure that my cup was full. The fish was so good that I ate it without soy sauce. Save your coins and try it!

Comment: Amazingly fresh omakase. 14 of the 15 courses were on point. Not only is the taste good but the presentation is also. Perfect for date night.The only course that I didn’t think tasted good was, ironically, the “unique toast”.It’s BYOB, so go down two streets to get yourself some sake or wine! They’ll let you know where to go if you don’t know.

Comment: Dont come here expecting a luxe dining experience, come here for high quality sushi. While the decor leaves something to be desired, my partner and I enjoyed this no-frills omakase - at 15 courses for $85, Unique is affordable but surprisingly not the cheapest in the neighborhood (Sushi Kai offers a 14-course for $75, SHINN EAST 13 for $65, etc.). Out of the myriad 60-min omakases, we found that Unique brought the most value, with healthy portions of high quality fish and special toppings. They really dont skimp, and were here for it.

Comment: Wow. Just wow. I had to try a new omakase restaurant while on a business trip to NYC, and stumbled upon Unique Omakase.The restaurant opened earlier this month, and the food was incredible — fresh, flavorful seafood, and creative composition. I was very impressed by the owner / chef, who has been making sushi in the city for 20+ years. His expertise shined through.By dessert time (after 14 courses + 2 complimentary), I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat any more.. but the mochi ice cream was a must have.
