U Omakase
japanese · Brooklyn
michelin-approved omakase that doesn't require selling a kidney. the rice-to-fish ratio is actually correct.
Tell Harry what you fancy. Ten places worth leaving the house for. Harry reads the review-site noise, spots the tourist traps, and hands over a shortlist before the kettle's boiled.
Be honest with him. He doesn't judge.
Worth sharing
Send these ten to whoever’s asking where to eat.
