they have two tiers of omakase here, one of which is a real splurge ($85), but the other one you can kinda justify as a nice night out ($45). and it's all delicious. some of the best sushi in nyc.

Great omakase for the value. 85$ for 15 pieces and a hand roll. Chef Hideo made my fantasy a reality when he married scallop and uni in one piece 😍. A taste of heaven!

Want top tier sushi at a great price? Head to Sushi Dojo. Order the 15-piece omakase and hand rolls. They also offers cooked dishes like braised snapper head and soba. Read more

A great omakase deal, ask to sit with chef David, the owner. Make reservations weeks in advance. He is extremely friendly! Good food, good times!

Great 15 piece + hand roll omakase. Would come back again, good value relative to other omakases.
Morgan McKeeApril 23, 2019
Wanted to come here for the <$100 omakase but boyf insisted on the chef’s choice. Very good stuff, and traditional, small spot. I would say you can get just as good for moderately cheaper
Michellee CFebruary 18, 2016
Besides the omakase, try the uni flight from diff regions of the world and the tuna tartar where the special soy sauce is already mixed in the tuna scramble and pairs perfectly with fried seaweed.

15 piece omakase for $90 is pretty good in NYC. Great sushi (reminded us of Japan) in a fun environment. We bonded with our chef, Takeshi, over sake.
Andrew WongJuly 11, 2019
12 piece omakase had very fresh fish (with ohtoro and uni), very filling, and great value. I especially liked the wagyu fried rice, which had rice beef flavor but not overpowering the rice.

I love this place. Food is fantastic and fresh, and he has some new, inventive takes on Japanese dishes. Sushi chefs and service are great. Been three times now, and have consistently been impressed.

The sushi is definitely solid but the omakase ($90) isn't that big of a steal, price wise. Instead get the deluxe 10 piece sushi for $45 and add a side or two. I loved the tempura
Jennifer NguyenOctober 27, 2013
Great quality, affordable, & laid back atmosphere. Get the omakase! Chef David & female Chef Hiromi gave us a great experience. We will be back for sure!
LaurenAugust 2, 2018
Two omakase offerings are only available at the bar, including the $90 chef’s choice of 15 pieces of sushi and a hand roll (there’s also sushi and sashimi for $120).
Janet CheungSeptember 6, 2014
Wonderful! Get the omakase sets and let the chef do the deciding! Good quality but small so book ahead of time
Emily WilsonDecember 10, 2016
Stay a while, drink lots of sake, and rowdiness will ensue. Omakase is a worth it here—first for the fresh, inventive sushi, second for the fun of it all.
Melody HanSeptember 19, 2015
Three pieces from the omakase that I can't stop thinking about: perfectly seared salmon, scallop and uni, Maine uni. The sake somm is excellent.
Susan KimMarch 26, 2014
Grilled hamachi, duck dish, tofu dish, orange clams, and uni was all so delicious. Service was outstanding . I will definitely return anf recommend to friends.
Clara PyoAugust 27, 2016
Sushi is great. Weird vibes tho, blasting techno and saw all the workers take shots of sake with the customers and the manager walking around promoting sake. lol wuhh

High quality sushi, downtown sensibilities. David knows his sushi, and I have also had wonderful experiences with Hiromi at the bar. If you're here for sushi, go the omakase route.

The 4 types of Uni were the best that night and I usually don't get all Uni gaga. Omakase in 50 minutes at a decent price.
Jane KatzJanuary 7, 2016
the $45 omakase is a great value... appetizers are not worth it (tried tuna tartare and pork belly). Ask them to taste some sake!
Akhil DharwadkarFebruary 8, 2014
Amazing food, amazing ambiance, amazing chefs. Only go if you can handle so much raw fish. I love it, so I loved the place.
Melissa RosenthalMarch 23, 2015
One of my favorite sushi spots in the city. Quality and service is impeccable.

I was skeptical - how well a white dude can make sushi? But David proved me wrong. It is solid. Just go with the omakase. U are in good hands
CarolineFebruary 10, 2015
Best of VV. Better to sit at the sushi bar and let Bouhadana give you a lesson as he turns out a modestly priced omakase feast.
Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013
Chef David has classical training in Japan and will tailor a wide variety of his fresh fish selection to fit your sushi desires.
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 11, 2017
Great value for Omakase. Changed since the chef left, but the quality is AmAzing and fun spot!
Nick AndlingerFebruary 17, 2016
Omakase was great. Make sure to sit at the sushi bar
Dylan StilinDecember 13, 2014
Great sushi and omakase. Easily competes with the sushi's top Japanese restaurants (and at a fraction of the cost).
MaxOctober 8, 2015
Incredible omakase with life changing rice. Make sure to get a reservation in front of Dave at the bar.
JenFebruary 20, 2014
Do get the omakase, don't get anything on the appetizer menu. Both the uni croquette and shishito peppers were meh
Jack KlauberSeptember 25, 2013
Hands down best sushi ever. EVER! Make sure to get a seat at the sushi bar with Sushi Master David Bouhadana. Incredible.
K TranOctober 5, 2014
Masterfully considered and prepared sushi. Will make you want to swim in a pool of uni after this.
Rishi SatsangiJanuary 19, 2015
This is one of those "executive" sushi joints. High quality but super pricey and just feels like a place an executive would take a client to impress them.

The staff is great. Just get the omakasa and let the sushi chefs select the best fishes of the day for you.
suneelDecember 21, 2013
best value for high end sushi in nyc. very hospitable. their miso soup is amazing as well.
Matt O'NeillMay 3, 2015
Omakase & 90s rave music - interesting combo. If you're serving traditional sushi - it needs to be fresh, Dojo's fish just doesn't cut it. More creativity might help mask the bland tastes
Angela Z.July 18, 2013
Remember to request a seat at the sushi counter with Chef David! Dojo Omakase was amazing and the staff is super attentive.
Eric ChuAugust 13, 2014
Omakase is delicious and some of the most affordable high-quality in the city. Sit at the bar.
JJanuary 13, 2019
Chefs omakase is incredibly delicious and such good quality and value!

The BEST bang for your buck sushi Omakase in NYC. Wow. #magical - the Foodie Magician
Meg FarmerOctober 7, 2014
The fish is fresh & the Tuna tartar is out of this world, but honestly I think I missed what all the hype is about. I don't have any complaints, but perhaps my expectations were a bit high.
Alex BreslerApril 10, 2014
Mad love to David Bouhadana and sushidojo hesitant about giving sushi love this place EARNED IT!!
Afro lynneJune 8, 2014
Huge portion for the tempura. That can almost pass for a meal itself
Erin SheaSeptember 23, 2016
Fresh, delicious sushi. Overall great experience and atmosphere!

Not crazy about the music, the ambiance is whatever, but the sushi is FANTASTIC, and a great value.
