#3
FinBar Sushi
7.7
A small, straightforward Midtown sushi counter that plays like a practical omakase stop: focused pieces, quick pacing, and a menu built around value-driven progression rather than theatrics. It’s strongest for diners who want a concise tasting-format meal without the full fine-dining ceremony.
Must-Try Dishes:
Omakase set, Uni bite (when available), Toro hand roll
What makes it special: Midtown omakase format with a value-first mindset.
7.6
An unassuming Garment District room that surprises when you treat it like an omakase bar: solid fish sourcing, a structured course flow, and a pace that fits Midtown schedules. Expect more substance than spectacle—worth it when you prioritize clean nigiri over a scene.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seasonal omakase (13-course), Wagyu nigiri (when offered), Chef’s choice sashimi course
What makes it special: Low-key Midtown omakase that’s built for efficiency.
