sushi AMANE: Reviews & Ratings
We’ve been to Sushi Amane several times — even under different chefs — and it remains one of our favorite omakase spots in the city. The fish is top quality, the small seasonal dishes are refined, and the pacing always feels just right. We love omakase in general, and Amane’s relatively fair price point makes it a place we return to again and again. Consistently satisfyiny.
Easily one of the best omakase meals I’ve had. From the food, service, even the little details - everything was INCREDIBLE and we couldn’t recommend this place more. We only wish we lived closer to go often but will come back anytime we’re in town. I especially love how much the chef cares about the ingredients and has a unique spin on certain dishes that make it so memorable. If you’re on the fence you should definitely give it a try.
Had a great meal here on my wife’s birthday. We had three other diners in our seating so a total of only 5 diners. As their previous chef had just recently left, we were served by their new chef that had just arrived two weeks ago (obviously with extensive prior experience from Japan). Chef and staff did not disappoint and just about everything was on point.
An intimate omakase experience with only eight counter seats in a hidden basement of the restaurant. The chef was friendly and welcoming, and each dish was crafted with meticulous care and stunning presentation. I especially loved the steamed abalone, uni rice, otoro nigiri, uni nigiri, and the hand roll at the end. The course was served at a perfect pace, and the attentive service and cozy atmosphere made for a wonderful meal to celebrate a special occasion.
Food is great and service is amazing too. One of the best omakase I had in nyc. Chef is very professional and their Japanese service makes you feel so comfortable rather than those who ask for high tips. Every pieces of sushi is so fresh and perfectly prepared. The monkfish liver is so smooth and melting in my mouth. Scallop is very fresh so is the uni. Only thing is that the appetiser portion could be slightly bigger. Overall 10/10. Highly recommended!
This is the highest quality sushi I've ever tasted in New York. Except for the first appetizer, which was not ideal, the other appetizers and sushi were much higher quality. The chef's skills are also very outstandingly. I will come to this restaurant again.
Love this restaurant, one of the “not to miss “. We will definitely will come back
Chef is very skillful, nigiri rice was well seasoned and held together well. Also, great service. One of the best omakase experiences I had. I only wish there was more food!
