Truly amazing, All omakaze are so tasty, yet delicate. This location are always busy which is good thing for them! So Reservation is recommended. The service also go along with food quality. Nice and friendly.

Sushi Seki has great sushi, and it is open very late too! Come in, sit at the sushi bar, say “omikase”, and lots of great sushi appears. Third time here. I think it was even better than the last time. The great pieces of nigari just keep showing up. Anyway, they’re all so good!

Absolutely delicious omakase for a pretty penny. They do open omakase so it keeps going until you ask for it to close off.

The hostess’ are incredibly rude, I have picked up Uber eats orders from here and the hostess is incredibly rude. Yes some delivery drivers are annoying, but there is no reason to be this nasty to people. Whether they are dining in or picking up an order, you treat everyone nice. It is funny how the guys at the liquor store across the street were a million times friendlier.

Personally this is my favorite sushi spot in NYC. I ordered the Sushi dinner and my partner ordered the seki special. Both great choices if you want variety. Omakase is also very good here. This location offers indoor and outdoor dining. As of right now the restaurant is not requiring proof of vax. I recommend you make a reservation as it is quite popular.

Seki was good. Now just a sushi snob with rude hostess. It passed on to the fish and it sucks now. SUSHI SNOB. YOUR NOT ALL THAT. NEXT

Quality sushi and great service, but prices seemed to be very high and the environment felt a little cramped.

Be prepared to pay, but this place is awesome. The hours, the kitchen staff hangout factor, the fact that it’s busy late…it’s serious sushi. But it’s a whitefish bone short of being in MichelinStar land. Everything delivered as requested, but after 22 pieces, nothing had a seriously creative bent. Service was very good and having the omakase at my lone little 2-top up front was fine, but the bar is where the action is.
