Master Critic Review

Sushi Makoto - Omakase 8.8
West Village
A serene Chelsea omakase counter that leans Edomae in spirit—precise knife work, clean rice seasoning, and a tight progression that stays focused on fish quality. The meal reads as modern but not flashy, with luxurious cuts like otoro and Hokkaido scallop delivered in a calm, chef-driven room. Opened recently and already drawing strong local praise for polish and freshness.
Must-Try Dishes: 18-course omakase, Otoro handroll, Hokkaido scallop nigiri
