Highly recommend the assorted house made pickles, Burimaka (grilled yellowtail collar, grated daikon) and Omakase Sashimi. And, of course saké.

It's fun crafting your own sushi rolls with avocado, tempura, cucumber and much more. All-in-all, sushi is fantastic. Atmosphere is cool, modern. Order the lychee martini, but make it a double.

the omakase here is fantastic (and has less expensive tiers with fewer courses). sit at the bar and order the sake with the buffalo on the label.

Sleek minimalism meets delicious sushi. The fish is fresh with delectable seasonal selections, but the menu overall is very expensive compared with other spots in the neighborhood.

Amazing natural wines list and fantastic food. Casual bar at the front for snacks and beautiful dining room in the back. Great service and amazing food.

everything about this restaurant is beautifully designed and presented. If you don't get the omakase, absolutely order the sesame shake, crab roll, and chicken pate to name a few.

Loooove the minimalist decor, it's so soothing like a spa with amazing, very legit sushi. Small servings compared to most places but quality over quantity is definitely the goal here.
Ronald CattrysseMay 31, 2017
Definitely not cheap for Japanese and that is actually great! It is so worth it, the food is so perfect, that I'd happily make sure it remains on this level.

Hands down the best sushi in Williamsburg. By a mile. But you pay for it. Sit at the sushi bar and let Yoshida-san feed you. Or, after a show at DBA/Glasslands, get the latenight weekend ramen menu.

Great price for good sushi and izakaya fare. Fried chicken always good. Skip the eggplant skewers and mushroom taco tho
Matty CitoMay 10, 2015
Omakase. The Tasmanian salmon and mackerel are insane. Nevermind the chu toro & o toro. Add a little ball busting humor from the chef and I was in heaven
AnissaMarch 30, 2016
Perfect meal cadence! 15 piece omakase was amazing. Just do it.
TingMay 20, 2017
Sushi omakase for $50 is hard to beat. 10 pieces, high quality, good variety of fish. Highly recommend sushi counter and skipping the dining room.
Umair ZiaSeptember 28, 2014
Sushi is excellent here. Any of it. The dumpling app stands out. But I tried a sweet potato shochu (Japanese liquor) on the rocks = The real winner of the night.
Czarina BehrendsApril 21, 2019
Everything is tasty and great here! Spacious setting, so good for groups. Service was fabulous. Buri kama was filling and tasty.
Charles BMarch 30, 2012
the Omakase here is a treat. I like that they bring it all out at once instead of making it a marathon. You have to pick btw sashimi and nigiri. We did both...nigiri was better.
Leigh QuindaraMay 1, 2015
I think 1 or 8's strong points are in the cooked items. The buri kama was delicious. The sushi on the other hand, was average in taste and for some reason very tiny in portion.
Caroline SchulweisSeptember 3, 2014
Very cool, modern atmosphere, and awesome food. Great ceviche, sushi, and sashimi!

Perfectly executed basic rolls accompany interesting variations on classics; sashimi is expertly sliced and evenly textured, and soft tuna and Atlantic salmon are exceptionally fresh Read more
Natalie FreilichFebruary 4, 2016
come for the tastes as portions are small. The fried chicken, steak, soup, and sushi are delectable...sesame shake drink cinched the meal.
Nikki BogopolskayaJuly 10, 2014
The dinner pre-fixe is the way to go here! $22 for 3 courses fills you right up. Supplement with a roll, if you must.
Jane DoeMay 11, 2018
🐷 bun, grilled 🐙, omakase crudo a must!!! esp. the yellowtail sushi 🍣 , and for dessert: milk & 🍯 ice cream!
RebeccaOctober 12, 2014
I like this place. Good vibes with the all white decor and the food is yummy. Lots of privacy between tables/booths.
Foxxy BApril 7, 2017
Honestly quite pricey. Octopus is the most tender ever. Incredibly melt-in-your-mouth sashimi options (although portions are small). Chic space, small crowd.
Justin PakFebruary 20, 2016
Call ahead and get a seat at the Sushi Bar for one of the best Omakase experiences in NYC.

Go for a booth and if you can swing the cash omakase it up and enjoy one of the best food experiences you can have in this country.
Sunny HApril 25, 2016
High quality sashimi and rolls, be sure to try the pork belly and the octopus with garlic.
DannyJuly 13, 2017
The drinks here are excellent and to my liking. Well balanced and perfect contrast of natural flavors.
Berlin BabuSeptember 1, 2013
The lamb chops are good. Sushi with mango and in it was good and the mochi with soy sauce sorbet was great
Katja WesslingJuly 18, 2015
Amazing dinner tea, pork belly, great sake selection, everything was amazing. Perfect sound level.

Try Kazuo's amazing horse mackerel tartare sushi--usually only at bar w/omakase, but if you ask nicely and tell them Jane and Jean-Marie sent you, you can get it at the table...
Josh MateoSeptember 6, 2015
The appetizers were much better than the main course. Don't skip on the Burikama. Grilled yellowtail jaw. So yummy.
Michael OcherJuly 1, 2015
great interior and delicious food and amazing spirits selection, try Satoh the sweet potato vodka
Maddie GruderSeptember 17, 2011
Not only incredible food, but fantastic and quick service. This restaurant most certainly lived up to the standard it presented with it's pristine and gorgeous aesthetics.
EchoDAFebruary 16, 2012
For sushi fans. A little bit on the expensive side, and very elegantly designed, it's speciality is the Omakase, which means "I submit" (the che chef's will).
amooliaFebruary 17, 2012
The best sushi in Brooklyn, no doubt. I'd get the sashimi entree and red miso- the bottom half is homemade tofu! Try the croquettes!
Nick JordanDecember 20, 2014
The red miso soup should be where you start. End up anywhere you damn well please.

"Scared of a little fish? It's not even alive!" The adorable and impressive sushi chef says you should try the tasting menu.
Mike SingletonJune 10, 2012
The chef offers a selection of snacks until 2 a.m. on the weekends including a killer ramen option that changes depending on his mood. Read more

Great sushi. The rice rivals Sushi Yasuda. Do Onakase with chef Kazu San and you won't be disappointed.
Steve AmaranteNovember 10, 2010
Had the grilled Bronzini: Cooking Terms: RecipeTips.comHad the grilled Bronzini and the Spanish Mackerel both outstanding. The Plum Wine cocktail was ok and loved the simplistic decor.
Katy ZackOctober 5, 2014
Omakase is unbelievable. Top notch sushi in a secret chic spot.

The way to go is to have Omakase at the sushi bar with Kazu. He is the best.

Omakase, sashimi plate if your not at the sushi bar. Fish is incredible

Best Sushi I've had in NYC to date
