Comment: While my girlfriends came to visit NY, we discovered Wano. It’s really cozy and hidden which we didn’t mind. We knew it was going to be authentic Japanese food from the chefs and pictures.We ordered the sushi nigiri sets to share, we had Tuna, Kanpachi, salmon, shrimp and uni to name a few. We also ordered a bottle of the Kuroshi sake to enjoy with our meal. We also ordered their Miso Cod and Teriyaki salmon to share. Overall, it was a delicious meal and would definitely have the sushi everyday if I could.The ambiance was relaxing and quiet for me and my friends to catch up. I would definitely come back for date night or a family gathering next time.

Comment: TLDR: Wano is an omakase experience for all but definitely will appeal to you if youre more of a traditional purist eater. Omakase is excellent and if youre going to pop in to have one singular item - dont leave without the tossaki roll. You wont find that anywhere else.I came across Wano after seeing some picture on IG of their tossaki handroll. Now this is not any ordinary hand roll, its a signature item of Chef Sato who helped launch Wano. I was trying to eat this myself in Ginza but the fact I could now get this in New York - I knew I had to go.A random Saturday night and we found ourselves at the sushi bar. Wano is in the same space and same company behind of MIFUNE. Chef Tomomi who worked with Chef Sato in Hakkoku is now here and it truly was a treat to be served by him. Ayana and Daniel were also wonderful hosts and we stayed long after our dinner service because we had a great time.Food-wise, the omakase had a slightly different format but enjoyable nonetheless. First was the tossaki hand roll, a tuna temaki made from a cut near the neck of the tuna. Very tender, flavor-forward and the perfect accompaniment with crisp roasted nori and well-seasoned sushi rice. The sushi rice is so distinct, it almost looks dark brown from all the vinegar. Not salty as you might imagine, perfectly al dente and well balanced. This rice is dark, like Chinese takeout fried rice dark. Its so good though and like any omakase fan boy or girl knows - the most memorable thing from all great omakases is the rice!All the nigiri was excellent. The chawanmushi was especially luxurious with the piled on uni, caviar, chives, etc. The botan ebi was especially memorable, it was slightly cooked almost like a poached texture but so full of flavor. I love a good spotted prawn raw too but this was really unique. Almost reminded me of the flavor of a great langoustine.I also was fortunate to try the abalone and mushrooms which was super unique. Nice, bouncy chunks of abalone paired beautifully with the nice earthy mushrooms.I was hoping for some silver-skinned fish but chef said he had not yet found the optimal fish to source and thats why there was none. That was a very respectable answer.Everything was awesome but 100% my favorite was the hand roll. So nice, had to have it twice.I genuinely think Wano is a place you should try whether youre just your feet wet or youre a seasoned omakase diner. With the right marketing and word of mouth, I think Wano will become a destination sushi-ya. Much like Takeda on the UWS was when they first opened so many years ago.

Comment: One of the best no frills sushi spots in NYC. If you want excellent sushi quality/traditional style without all the Americanized bells and whistles, this your spot. My new go to spot — and if you want to upgrade your dining experience they have Sushi Amane their high end omakase downstairs.

Comment: The food was of the best quality I have had in Midtown! Fresh fish and delicious rice bowls. The service was extremely forthcoming. The place was quiet even though it was a good lunch crowd. A minor issue for me is that the kitchen is open (like many other places), so some fabrics take on the smell.
