I have never experienced Omakase style sushi experience before. Where you are served 1 piece at a time of the chef's determination based on what fresh fish is available. Although I thought it was a little pricey, it was worth every penny. ...Read More

Omakase Ichi is the first omakase in Staten Island. Ichi means the number one in Japanese. Atmosphere is warm and friendly which also opens your appetite more. Every every bite is delicious and beautifully plated using tasteful dishware. Jimmy-san is the one of the most...Read More

Echoing the reviews so far, this is a first rate experience for anyone who wants to try an affordable Omakase on SI. Yes, for Omakase $100-115 (cant really recall exact amount) it is affordable. Its an experience unlike anything else on the island....Read More

Wow, I cannot give enough praise to this establishment.Starting with the very first impressions, I was blown away! Omakase is already a very niche experience for Staten Island. Pair it with the speakeasy feel that boasts eclectic, modern Japanese atmosphere and it gives you an...Read More

This is the first omakase experience on the island, and that deserves recognition. The food scene in the island is constantly shifting with a lot of businesses that pop up and flounder within just a year or so. Here is to hoping things go differently for Omakase Ichi, as it certainly deserves a chance.First off, the food selection is totally up to the chef. You can choose add-on items at the end, but the courses are largely not your fate to choose. That being said, I had 5 appetizers, 11 nigiris, and 1 dessert when I was there and it was excellent. It's well-on-par with that of omakases that you might find in Manhattan on the lower price range. But that doesn't mean the quality is bad at all. They change their menu daily due to procurement of fresh fish, 70 percent of which is allegedly from Japan. Their Toro is excellently fatty, and their rockfish and kampachi are wonderfully toothsome and clean-tasting. Some dishes you may disagree with based on preference, but the quality is unmistakable.My favorite bite was actually the ankimo appetizer (monkfish liver). The crispy rice they import from Japan is also deliciously smoky and crunchy.The format of omakase here is unique in that they book by time slot and everyone in a time slot should be present so that everyone eats at the same time. The chefs and servers are extremely attentive and will wait for someone to finish their course before serving the next to everyone else. The sake pairings are well-thought out and the servers keep your tea and water well filled. They also have some cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks that do not overpower the delicate sushi.The ambience of the place is dim, like a stage, with the spotlight focused on the chefs. You can see curious bits of decor like some pottery or sake bottles behind the chef. They are like accompaniments for your eyes as you watch the chefs prepare your food before your eyes.Overall, omakase Ichi is a good place for an islander to dip their toes in the experience of omakase. This is something new to the island and I heartily welcome it.
