Maki Kosaka New York Reviews from The Last Year

Vibey ambiance; very cute for date night! Staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered the grab handroll set and it's a fun experience as you take out each nori wrapper to pick it up! Each one came out pretty fast but we were still hungry so we ordered a bit more. Absolutely loved the Seared Garlic Botan Ebi. It was the highlight of the night.

Maki Kosaka has a lot of great things going for it, but has a few misses that make me unable to rate it the full 5 stars. A great note to start: I was able to get a reservation here day-of on a Friday night for 2 people easily. When you walk in, it's a 2 section restaurant with a small bar/waiting area up front, and a huge space in the back with the counter wrapping around the center chef space. Honestly surprised me how nice it looked. I ordered the grab roll set. 5 pieces rolls for $38. Most add ons are about $8-10, unless you get something more premium. While the price point for the set wasn't super high, I did expect slightly larger rolls. It was barely larger than a nigiri, just with more rice, and often too much sauce. I will say: the seaweed wraps used here are probably the best I've had. The fish - I can't say the same. Almost every fish from the set lacked unctuousness, and it felt like they were trying to make up for a cheaper cut by adding fats like avocado and mayo. I also ordered the crab and ikura roll, and the seared scallop roll. The crab and ikura was good, but a bit heavy on the mayo, and the seared scallop was texturally nice, but missing sweetness from the scallop. Uni roll was an $18 add on, and while satisfying to have uni, I've definitely had better in nyc. I think fish could've been a bit less mashed, with less sauce to really taste the flavor and textural difference. Finally, a pro and a con: service was FAST. Maybe a little too fast. The chef was pre-preparing rolls on the side in whatever order he wanted, and immediately setting the next roll on our plates before we were even done chewing the previous roll. We were able avoid feeling rushed by just not eating the roll immediately, but still felt like we couldn't wait too long if we didn't want to affect the freshness of the piece. I wish he would have slowed down to check in with us, rather than run away and get started on the next orders immediately. At least the wait staff was incredibly welcoming and patient with me and my friends' slow ordering speed. Didn't feel rushed to get out at all. Overall, good, but not great.
I wanted sushi.
I went to this spot just down from our hotel. Wow, maybe the best sushi I've ever eaten. I sat in front of the chef who prepared my sushi. Each piece was created separately. And I ate them separately. All were delicious. And the soy sauce was so over the top I asked the woman who served me what brand it was. She said they made it in house. It was perfect soy sauce. If you're in Manhattan and want sushi this is the place to go.
Great service, friendly staff, was kind and helped us pick
Great service, friendly staff, was kind and helped us pick sushi for our dinner. Restaurant is very quiet and calming. Definitely would be back. Dessert was delicious too.
I come here every week.
Great prices, service is amazing, and the food is delicious. The grab hand roll set is my favorite as it consistently changes. The ambience is really nice, this restaurant is not a dress to impress at all.
Maki Kosaka serves amazing sushi in a beautiful space, with
Maki Kosaka serves amazing sushi in a beautiful space, with an approachable menu and demeanor that is friendlier than a formal omakase. Staff are attentive and warm, knowledgeable and friendly. Every seat in the house is excellent, surrounding the sushi chefs' work stations in a modern island bar. Music leans pop, rather than zen instrumental. One of the memorable things about Maki Kosaka is the sushi set up leans toward a "grab hand roll" which are like three bite nigiri that you use a nori wrapper to pick up yourself. It's fun, it allows the sushi presentation to sing before you eat it, and it's a bit faster than one nigiri at a time. Each person probably can eat 6-8 grab hand rolls comfortably. They also do a temaki hand roll, which is more popular with other sushi restaurants. Temaki are a tiny bit bigger. The menu is tight, but very well curated. Standout sushi of the night: Toro with gobi chip - excellent pairing of textures Seared scallop Yellowtail with jalapeno miso Seared garlic botan ebi (shrimp) Hokkaido uni Shishito pepper appetizer had this fantastic glaze I would absolutely eat here again, for a date or friend's celebratory meal. Price point will be similar to other high end sushi places when you include all the add ons.
this place was great.
the nori was so crispy and the fish was super tasty. probably one of the better handroll places Ive tried in the city!
We were able to make same-day reservations for a party of 4
We were able to make same-day reservations for a party of 4 on a Saturday night. I got the signature grab handroll set which consists of 5 grab hand rolls for roughly $40. The concept is quite interesting since it's essentially an open face sushi that you grab with a seaweed sheet instead of it coming already wrapped like a traditional handroll. I appreciate how much rice and toppings there are! I also got a side of toro sashimi which I'd pass on next time. The quality was a bit subpar and tasted fishy. We loved the edamame with truffle salt! It was definitely a great starter and highly recommend!
Really didn't like this experience - don't waste your time
Really didn't like this experience - don't waste your time here! Atmosphere is really stale - the entrance had one painting and some nice bottles off to the side. But as you enter, there is a center table where you can't really tell if your chefs are like omakase chefs or conveyor belt sushi chefs? We ordered the grab handroll set- which the price doesn't even make sense. $38 for 5 pieces? I get that they're meaty but they're not even that interesting pieces : shrimp / tuna / salmon. It felt so obvious they are marking up everything. Staff was really strange. Our host was very friendly, but then the chefs would literally throw down a piece then disappear. As we were paying - the tipping screen came up with a minimum of 20% and they literally hover over you as you're paying. Really pressuring you to not go lower? It was so awkward! Adding a star just for their bathroom. Really nice, clean bathroom. Otherwise, run!!
Wow. I had such a great dinner here. My bf told me it was
Wow. I had such a great dinner here. My bf told me it was better than all the Michelin star restaurants I bring him to and then wanted to cancel all our reservations to come back here during our NYC trip. It really is that good if you like sushi. Flip to the back of the menu to see all the other goodies. We came right when it opened so it was quiet here and we were able to ask the chef what his favorites were. It's a relaxing atmosphere. You're in a large rectangular table facing the center. The owner was such a nice person. They have amazing speakers here too. There are bag hooks under the table so you know they really thought about their customers.
