    Good for a first time experience, we went a second time and honestly we didn’t enjoy it nearly as much. The novelty had worn off and to us there was nothing different here than any other sushi restaurant other than not choosing what we ordered. The first time we went we got more attention, conversation, and insight from our chef. This time it was just “here's the scallop” eat “next is salmon”. And unfortunately for the price I would like 5% more than just eat the sushi and get out within 45 minutes.

    Good value. So I hear. It was my first Omakase. Venus seats eight at a sushi bar. And that’s all. This would’ve been a lot of fun as a group reservation. Average ratings were for average assembly of food (I really did not understand yuzu pairing with fish and Wagyu with Uni). Presentation was mediocre. Chefs did not communicate. Drinks were ok and expensive. And the focus was more on turning the table over than a memorable experience. I understand now why some do not “appreciate being told what to eat.” I expected at least some persuasion, but there was none. Will try other places before returning to this one.

    I introduced to my friend his first omakase experience and the sushi was so fresh at 10:15pm. His smile told me we picked the right place.

    A wonderfully varied set menu. Lovely friendly staff. This is a cheeky little sushi experience you must try at the Times square venue, where you enter through a hatch on the pavement. X

    We sat early for a preshow meal and while the food was incredible, the pacing was off. We were rushed to finish as quickly as possible. If we didn’t immediately eat the piece of sushi in front of us, the chef would stare at us uncomfortably until we did or would just keep piling it on our plates. We were the only ones there originally so were sat on the long side of the bar but after 30 mins a large party came in and they clearly wanted us to move so the servers rushed us along to our bill. We were in and out in 40 mins when I would have expected it to take 1-1.5 hours. We would have gotten another drink or two if we had been paced appropriately but we felt so uncomfortable we left. Food was incredible and a great price though.
