Fantastic omakase experience! Meticulously prepared dishes. Great flavor profiles. Amazing, seamless service and hospitality. We went for the 15 piece tasting menu, including all the high-end selections, and left extremely satisfied. Chatting with the other diners at the 9-seat counter, everyone was impressed and we all had a great time. Special shout-out to Cole for being such an amazing host! He really set the tone in the space and treated everyone like long-lost friends. Seriously can't wait to go back again.

My husband and I came back for a second visit and we couldn't have been happier (our first was 2 years ago; we live out of state). The hosts are attentive, friendly, and prompt, the sushi is always great, and the atmosphere for our 7:30p omakase reservation was lovely and fun. Who wouldn't want a delicious sushi dinner trivia karaoke sake shots left and right? We'll definitely make it a point to always stop by when we're in the area

Enjoyed the most interesting Omakase meal here The prize quiz segment boosted everyone's happiness to the highest level! It also increased interaction and familiarity among all the diners. My mom actually guessed right the "which fruit seeds are on the outside" hahaSo great The ingredients were very fresh The cocktails were refreshing and not too sweet The most memorable course was the flaming sablefish, with all lights turned off, accompanied by a fire song, elevating the atmosphere to a climax In the end, we even sang a birthday song for two guests celebrating their birthdays. Everyone had a very happy evening. Sushi Lab really knows romance and how to run a wonderful restaurant Highly recommended

My fiance and I had an Amazing Omakase dinner here for my birthday. All of the ingredients were high quality and the taste was to die for. We did the 15 courses and it was worth it. Our server Co was awesome. He made sure my birthday was special and there was trivia at the end, which was super fun. Definitely a dope spot to check out when you’re in the city. 10/10 will be back.

I’ve been to all of the sushi lab locations, many times each, and this dinner was one of the TOP meals i’ve had. The chef’s were so nice and I loved the small space with such an intimate counter. The drinks were amazing and they had such an extensive sake menu with good cocktails as well. I loved their diverse menu of nigiri, apps, unique dishes and cooked food too. My favorites were the shrimp skewer, miso sablefish with caviar, the artic char nigiri with crispy potatoes and the kampachi masago app. this is a MUST TRY!

NYC Local here. This is our favorite omakase in the city! We come here at least once a month now and have a great relationship with the staff. Cole is the best host, super fun and accommodating. Today we met Chef Kevin who was great to watch as he made each piece of sushi. Everything is so flavorful and the quality is top notch!!

A very unique experience and creative nigiri. We loved everything and can't wait to go back. The sake flight was a great addition to the meal as well. The chef and host made the experience extra special.

It was my first time trying omakase so I don’t really have a comparison but just by the price I would say that it is worth it. I don’t think you can find an omakase for this price in the tri state area. What you got is definitely worth the price you paid since we would have to compare apple to apple. The only thing I would say is that it is kind of not enough for me. We went to another dessert store next to it and had some dessert. It was worth for the experience, the taste and service but it don’t think it is a normal amount of meal for an adult so adjust your expectation on this part. Overall I definitely recommend this place if you wanted to try omakase for the first time.
