About

About Omakase by Korami

Omakase by Korami occupies an unassuming address at 400 West 50th Street in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, yet it has carved out a reputation as one of New York City's most compelling value-omakase destinations. The restaurant seats just nine diners at a single counter, creating an intimate atmosphere where chef Korami and the team work feet away from guests, slicing, torching, and plating each course with visible craft and care.

The restaurant's philosophy centers on a new interpretation of fundamentalist Japanese cuisine, a commitment to letting premium fish speak for itself, supported by precise knife work and restrained seasoning. The 15-course progression moves deliberately from lighter, more delicate white fish such as shima aji and madai through the richly marbled mid-meal toro sequence, before culminating in the crowd-pleasing triumvirate of uni, A5 Wagyu, and unagi. At $89 per person, Omakase by Korami routinely earns placement on best-of lists for sushi omakase experiences under $100 in New York City.

Reservations are handled exclusively through Resy, and the nine-seat counter fills quickly, particularly on weekend evenings. The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sake pairings and a curated selection of Japanese beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options complement the fixed tasting menu.
