Omi Omakase sits on the top floor of One Fulton Square with a calm, low-lit dining room and a chef’s counter built for long, linear tasting menus. Couples use it for milestone dinners where toro, uni, and seasonal nigiri arrive in a focused progression instead of a la carte plates.
Must-Try Dishes: 16-course omakase, Seasonal sashimi flight, Chef’s uni selection
What Makes it Special: A focused, higher-end omakase where each course is assembled in front of you.

Izakaya Nana is a theatrically designed Japanese izakaya and sake bar where glowing lanterns, a faux village street, and big-format cocktails turn dinner into a show. It’s less hushed omakase and more lively date night, with sushi, yakitori, and shareable plates under dramatic lighting.
Must-Try Dishes: Crazy Nana Roll, Yakitori platter, Dragon ball sushi sampler
What Makes it Special: Immersive izakaya with village-style rooms, sake towers, and showy sushi presentations.

Inside the Hyatt Place, Iki Modern Japanese pairs a slick, contemporary room with wide-ranging sushi and cooked Japanese plates. It works for couples who want something polished but not stiff, with strong lunch specials and fuller, sushi-heavy dinners that stretch into the evening.
Must-Try Dishes: Foie gras uni sushi, Wagyu beef sashimi, Deluxe sushi lunch set
What Makes it Special: A modern Japanese dining room where sushi, wagyu, and composed plates share equal billing.

Union Sushi is a compact Union Street shop locals lean on for reliably fresh rolls, sashimi combos, and takeout trays. It’s casual enough for a regular weeknight date but thoughtful with fish quality and plating, especially if you share a platter instead of eating on the run.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy tuna roll, Dragon roll, Sushi combo box
What Makes it Special: A straightforward neighborhood sushi shop known for fresh rolls and strong value.

Must-Try Dishes: House special roll, Salmon avocado roll, Assorted sashimi platter
What Makes it Special: A casual, centrally located sushi shop balancing big roll selection with fair pricing.
