Master Critic Review

Kawa Omakase 7.8
East Village
A newer 14-course omakase counter offering a compact, well-priced tasting that highlights clean cuts and a few inventive bites. The vibe is casual-intimate, making it easy to drop in for a low-pressure sushi tasting. A good hidden-gem option for value-seekers exploring East Village counters.
Must-Try Dishes: 14-course omakase, Wagyu-uni hand roll, Seasonal salmon nigiri
