    Unbelievably good. Chef Tetsu is incredibly attentive to every detail. Each dish is perfection; the sakes and cocktails are fantastic. Coco’s knowledge of sushi and sake are unmatched. And the vibe here is intimate, warm and welcoming. Outstanding !

    The fish, as always, was fresh and of the highest quality. The sake as well. The sushi chef and server, as always at all of the Blue Ribbon’s family of restaurants, were spot on, professional and above all made my wife and I feel right at home. The uniqueness of this smaller space, named after the group’s late Master Sushi Chef Toshi Ueki, and helmed on this night by their director of sushi, is truly a most special venue providing for an utterly exquisite experience!! Not all of NYC’s sushi is the same. This is head and shoulders above most all. Truly, Jason

    It was a perfect dinner. Had a belated birthday party with my best friend and Omakase was great as always. I loved the omakase menu during the winter time but the new seasonal menu was even better. The mood and atmosphere there is also great, super cozy yet jazzy vibe, (not many seats but I like it that way) which is rare for a sushi place, and the chef was super cool too. Will definitely come back!
