Delicious delicious delicious! Everything I ate I recommend! Waiters were super knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Loved the vibe, food and people. It’s a must go!
Really good food. The egg on egg on egg, uni makemen and the katsu sandro are a must try. We paid around 350$ for 3 people, which is a good deal considering the amount of food we got
Been coming to Sakamai since they opened, and it’s become a LES staple that we stop by multiple times a year and have brought many friends along. The Egg on Egg on Egg continues to be a standout, and the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Katsu Sando is a must. The current iteration of the Uni Mazemen brought back the original bone marrow offering, and the Dry Aged Duck offers tons of flavor with a minor sense of funk. Also, the Uni Hand Roll offers a hefty serving of fresh uni. Lastly, ambiance and service are great as always. Highly recommended for an amazing experience.
this place is suitable for a date in terms of their atmosphere and the menu, the dishes are small but delicate and delicious. It is not recommend to come if you are very hungry as you will need to order multiple dishes somewhat costly. We got shishito peppers, beef tartare, and grilled octopus. all of them are great just won’t leave you feeling full.
Insanely good
I came with a huge group of over 20 people (which took up more than half the seating of the restaurant) and even still everything was unbelievable. The Service right out of the gate was spectacular, very fast to refill drinks, picking up plates when used, and always helpful when asked questions. The food was on another level, having me eat a ton of food I never would have eaten otherwise. Massively recommend
We had a great time at Sakamai seated upstairs in their semi private room for larger parties. The vibes were perfect and we loved the decor. Food wise, we ordered a bunch of plates to share. The dry aged duck was done well, medium wellness but not much flavor. Crispy maitake were yummy pairing to the duck. The charred brocolini with soft boiled egg was decent, not sure if I'd put raw egg yolk texture on my crispy and oiled vegetable normally though. The lightly battered octopus was perfectly cooked and super crispy! Shishito peppers and oysters were good, nothing crazy special here. Karaage I'd probably skip next time, the citrus-y aioli sauce was ok but the batter was really dry and starchy, which is not reminiscent of an Asian style fried chicken. Overall was still a good time, but I think the menu is very similar to other places in the area with a fusion take on Asian cuisine.
Everything we ordered was really good. The wagyu beef sandwich probably was one of my favorites. The beef was juicy and tender that melts in your mouth, and the sandwich on the outside was thin and crispy. The uni mazemen is a must try. The noodle was bouncy and creamy, and filled with uni flavor…so umamiiii
Nice fusion Japanese food - New York trendy
Food - some top options served. My favorite was the waygu served in toast. You have to savor each bite.
Atmosphere - smaller restaurant ( typical of new York) intimate setting with the dark decor.
Cost - in line with New York dining. Pricey, but what do you expect. I had to get french fries next door after because I was still hungry.
Service - service was good.
the best!!! 👍👍
pretty solid dinner experience, great service and enjoyable atmosphere. we ordered everything to share, and personally i loved the menu 'egg on egg on egg'. would recommend and come back.
At this price point I’d expect the uni to be a lot fresher - it was a bit bitter and fishy so you don’t get that subtle sweetness as expected. Wagyu beef sando was really good but overpriced for sure. Cocktails were good tho.
