Our Guestbook
“ I loved everything about my experience at Mori! The staff was SO friendly, the menu was so unique with the breakdown of appetizers, nigiri, handrolls, and dessert, and it all tasted fantastic. I'd absolutely go again and I'd recommend Mori to everyone! Best birthday dinner I can imagine ”
“ Food, fantastic. Plating and decor, smart and intentional. Vibe, immaculate and intimate. Would 100 percent, without a doubt, recommend for anyone looking for an omakase experience in NYC. They also substitute any course that you may not be interested in, which is not always the case with omakase in this price range, which I found to be extremely accommodating. ”
“ Pricey but amazing experience. It's an intimate setting, only around 10 seats. The menu is very well thought out, about 14 courses served in 3 segments. Particularly loved the sushi segment, where the fatty tuna and the scallop were my personal favorites. Service is very professional and efficient. ”
“ This was my third omakase experience, and Mori truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was amazing--perfect for celebrating or a date. The fish was incredibly fresh, the chefs were outstanding, and the service was impeccable. I'd highly recommend it! The price is $125 per person for 16 courses, and it's well worth it. ”
“ Amazing food! First bite, the Oyster was off the hook. The truffle sauce, outstanding! ”
“ BEST find of 2024 so far!!! Run, do not walk to this place. This Soho restaurant is tiny but has really cool vibes with exposed bricks and black walls. For $125, this is by far the best and most interesting omakase experience I've had in a long time (and I was just at Shuko on Thursday this week). The meal is chunked into 3 sections with appetizers, nigiri, and hand rolls. You basically get the best of everything, and the pieces are truly top notch with premium ingredients (uni, caviar, otoro, wagyu etc.) Things that I'm still thinking about: - toro and caviar on toasts - I'd come back and get 5 of these. What kind of sorcery was this!! - every single one of the 4 hand rolls - love the addition of garlic crisps - wagyu nigiri Service was great and friendly. Definitely will be back (hopefully many, many times). ”
“ Hands down NYC's best new omakase. Incredible fish quality with an inventive touch to each dish. Otoro, Uni, Wagyu dishes will live in my mind for quite some time. Beautiful modern design while maintaining the elegance of an omakase experience. Fun atmosphere with a great soundtrack at a volume that creates a lively vibe, but also conducive for conversations. Hosts and chefs were very friendly and made sure we had a great experience. 10/10, will definitely be back! ”
“ for an opening day everything was smooth; the staff were overwhelmingly friendly, well trained, and bringing the best hospitality I've seen. I'll definitely coming back. The food was really good as well. Honestly the best fish quality. It was my first time trying uni and it was delicious. Everything on the menu is well course out. Again I can't say it enough how friendly the staff is. It makes the ambiance 10x better. ”
