This place is literally the most underrated sushi omakase in all of Manhattan in terms of service, quality, rarity of choice and also price point And I'm speaking from experience because I've been to Japan over 40 times. I know what's going on. Chef Naotois a son of a Michelin star sushi chef. Nuff said. Arigato!!

I have been to probably 100 different omakases in nyc, and I can say without a doubt this is my favorite. This isn't a cheap foie gras / truffle / a5 overload sushi omakase. Rather, the team is fully focused on their craft. All fish is fresh from Japan and rotates on a daily basis (I went Thursday night and then again on Saturday and a lot of the fish had rotated). A lot of things I had never had and were in season. Staff was incredible - we had four people waiting on us. Restaurant ambiance very nice and clean. Could not recommend this place more!!!!

Delicious traditional Japanese sushi and cooked food. Hidden in a small underground restaurant, the interior is traditional and you feel transported to Japan. You should make a reservation and know that the prices are on the higher side. Service is excellent.

We've dined at Hasaki many times over the past 20 years, and the food is consistently high quality. The seaweed salad is most unusual with amazing dressing. It's unique to Hasaki, thus something we ALWAYS get. The shumai is also not your usual shumai either that you see at most Japanese restaurants. These are made in-house and look like mini snow balls. Divine. The sushi, sashimi, black cod, grilled salmon, oh instead of naming every dish on the menu, I'll just say that everything is truly fresh and delicious. Service is always polite. It's truly a culinary delight at Hasaki. We will keep coming back.

Absolutely loved this restaurant for my first omakase experience! It was $90 per person, which was pretty good considering how yummy and high quality the experience was. I loved almost every piece (except for the octopus and fatty tuna sushi - for no other reason than texture problems), and left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Our chef was wonderful, kind, and speedy, as was our waiter. But we never felt rushed! The restaurant itself was so nice and calm, I loved the traditional-feeling decor and the ambience overall. We sat at the sushi bar and it was so fun! 10 out of 10, will definitely go back for regular dining and maybe even omakase!

First time trying this place in East Village. We each got the 12 piece omakase, which also comes with miso soup. We also got the uni platter, washu beef tataki, and homemade green tea and sesame ice cream. Great meal! The uni platter is great and it's a special for that day. The homemade ice cream is amazing! Service was great!

Solid sushi nestled in East Village. Went with friends for omakase and was able to get reservations without much of a struggle. They have an outdoor patio with tables reasonable separated for social distanced dining from other patrons. Ordered the sushi and sashimi omakase. It came out all at once. Fish was fresh, and portion size solid. They also had a good selection of fresh fish, but to keep things simple with my group, we all did the same omakase. The weather was amazing and great to enjoy at the patio. For omakase aficionados, table dining is blasphemy, but its really the only way to roll when you are trying to enjoy it with a group of 4. If you are looking for a more traditional sushi omakase in the area, you wont go wrong here.

Solid sushi bar in the East Village with a great outdoor patio seating option that has barricades between the tables. I would definitely recommend the patio. Just note that the omakase is served all at once given that it is not at the bar. We had the sushi and sashimi dinner and omakase with an additional yellowtail scallion roll. The quality was solid and the rolls had the perfect balance of rice to fish. Overall it's a good option for grabbing sushi - for omakase I do prefer the actual sushi bar option but this is perfectly fine for getting nigiri and rolls.
