Our Top Pick
Nakaji
Edomae omakase with a disciplined, chef-led progression.
Notable Picks
#1
Nakaji
8.6
An Edomae-style omakase built around precision and pacing—clean cuts, tight temperature control, and a progression that’s meant to be followed, not customized. It’s best for diners who want a focused, chef-led experience where the details (rice, seasoning, timing) do the heavy lifting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Omakase nigiri progression, Seasonal otsumami (appetizers), Toro course (when offered)
What makes it special: Edomae omakase with a disciplined, chef-led progression.
A Tribeca pub that’s most rewarding when you treat sushi as the headliner and everything else as supporting cast—cocktails, small plates, and a steady, after-work rhythm. The fish selection and roll execution are reliable enough for repeat visits, especially when you keep the order focused and skip the menu sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chef’s sushi/sashimi selection, Spicy tuna roll, Miso ramen
What makes it special: Pub energy with sushi that holds up as the main event.
#3
Shinsen
8.0
A Chinatown sushi-and-cocktails room that works when you want solid fish, crisp apps, and a bar-forward vibe in one stop. The move is to lean into nigiri/sashimi and a couple of hot items, then let the drinks carry the hang.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sushi set (chef’s selection), Spicy tuna hand roll, Crispy rice with spicy tuna
What makes it special: Sushi plus cocktails in a compact, nightlife-leaning room.
