Kaiyo Omakase

We were first to arrive and sat by the side of the chef’s table. Best view to watch how everything is composed! We chose the 15 course meal, and it was plenty and left us full. The mocha cake dessert was delicious as well. Took a lot of pictures, but I’ll leave some as it’s part of the surprise. Hence the meaning of “omakase”.

Great experience in LIC! Went in on a quiet Wednesday night with my buddy and there were a few other patrons enjoying some nigiri! Good service and cool ambiance. Overall, tried sushi I never did before and was impressed with the experience! Below is a summary of what we had and honestly each one was better than the other for the $100 15 course meal: Oyster with fish eggs, salmon sushi,, ahi Tuna , Hamachi yellowfin, toro with caviar, Sweet shrimp, Albacore tuna, Avocado uni , Scallop, Shima aji- striped jack, King salmon with seaweed, Eel roll with jalapeño pickle, Tamago, A5 wagyu uni, Toro handroll with yuzu sauce!! Phenomenal spread and worth it! Don’t go there hungry because it won’t fill you up but enjoy the experience!

Kaiyo's a memorable and intimate experience. The server Sam, and the chef took such great care of us from beginning to end. There was anticipation. Actually, we did the 9-main tasting and left feeling full and dazzled with the design intricacy behind each serving. Would highly recommend to anybody whether you are trying omakase for the first time or looking for an eye-popping option to be delighted.

Loved this omakase! The flavor combinations were incredible. The price was great. I did the smaller of the 2 menu options so I could double up on a few of my favorite pieces at the end. Service was attentive. My water glass was always full. I had a reservation so I sat at the bar but I love that they have an option for walk-ins to enjoy the same menu but with table side service. Def recommend you give this place a try & kudos to the chef. I will be back!

Great service! Sushi Omakase for the most part was excellent, except for the Toro which was oddly chewy, perhaps just a bad cut, but overall we had a memorable experience. Will definitely come again when back in NY.
