Uotora - New York

4.5 rounded up, for the omakase menu. A good quality omakase, but without paying those Manhattan prices. We got to Uotora for our date night, and booked a reservation over the phone easily. The only issue with the reservation was when we got to the restaurant: it took 20-30 minutes to sit us down, since the previous party didn't finish yet (the omakase bar can only sit 4 people). The restaurant gave us a free dessert, without us asking for it, as compensation. Now for the

Had a pleasant meal here: ordered the omakase with soft shell crab supplement, one extra piece of uni and scallop. A delicious starter of marinated aubergine. For drinks one carafe of sake and three draft beers shared between two. Total after tip came to 170. Ambience is lovely and intimate and the quality of the sushi is, as expected, high.

Upscale omakase sushi experience In Crown Heights. At $65 (as of 6/2021), the omakase is one of the most reasonably priced in the five borough.

Food was amazing and service was above and beyond! I did not catch the waiter?s name but he was very polite and pleasant. Came here with my bf and we got the omakase. My only wish is I wish the food came out faster but I?m just always hungry. Expect to spend decent time here! Would come back. The hand rolls were sooo flavorful and fresh (toro with pickled radish), we ordered a second round. The oyster with ponzu was really good too.
