Ikebana Zen - New York

Amazing, from the moment in which they are guided by the host, sunny, the server and especially the eating, led by koch z_fuji, classically trained Japanese french chef. highly recommended!

This was our first time trying Omakase on the west side. We are very well acquainted with sushi, so we recognize top quality when we see and taste it. The quality here was very good and the staff was very nice. Our kind server even explained a difference and process of filtered versus unfiltered sake, which I was quite unfamiliar with for a long time. The interior is also super cute and very well-kept. I found that the Omskase as well as the à la carte options were very reasonable for upscale sushi. We will definitely be there again. My only hope /wish is that they were open for lunch. However, given the neighborhood, I can see why they reserve their fine dining until dinner. It’s off the theater. In any event, I highly recommend this for quality sushi!

Really nice place! The uni and the wagyu sushi are very delicious!

Small restaurant with an impressive Kaiseki Omakase menu and very friendly waiters, definitely will be back next time in town.

I purposefully visit sushi places in NY often, so I consider my judgement very neutral and thorough. I've studied sushi for past 10 years and I consider myself a sushi epicurean. BUT this place is straight up the WORST sushi place in NY... Not even to me but to all my friends with less sushi experience..1. Worst quality uni... Cannot believe they are actually serving that to customers... The visible texture of fresh uni is no where to be found... Stale and too fishy..2. Too much vinegar on the rice and the rice was too hard. Maybe try using different rice.3. The sushi chefs do not even have the basics... They put too much pressure when they are molding the sushi/rice and overall freshness of ingredient is meh..I cannot believe I paid $108 (without tip tax) for this meal. They are literally robbers without a gun. I won't even come if it was $20 per meal. I actually cant believe anyone wrote positive review on this restaurant... Whoever the owner is to this place, please take my word into consideration and please please make improvement in your sushi.
