Master Critic Review

Maki Kosaka 8.5
Flatiron
A minimalist hand-roll bar in the Flatiron/Chelsea edge that prioritizes nori crispness, warm rice, and fast, made-to-order temaki. The sourcing and technique feel elevated for the format, and the set menus keep pacing tight without sacrificing variety. It’s higher-end hand-roll dining that stays casual in tone.
Must-Try Dishes: Temaki handroll set, Uni toro grab roll, Seared scallop temaki
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 8.1 Consistency: 8 Food Quality: 8.9 Atmosphere: 8 Cultural Relevance: 7.3
What makes it special: Handroll-first counter with premium fish and perfectly timed nori.
Who should go: Handroll fans and quick-date diners.
When to visit: Early dinner for peak nori crunch.
What to order: Temaki set, uni toro grab roll, scallop temaki.
Insider tip: Order sets rather than à la carte for the best pacing.
