Embark on a refined exploration of flavor and form, as a masterful chef guides you through a curated tasting experience; every bite crafted with precision, intention, and unforgettable artistry. This is Koete Omakase, just a few blocks from Central Park.
Grab your $169 pulse (a $292 value) for a 17 Course Omakase Dinner For Two that includes 2 Appetizers, Two 15 Course Omakase Dinners, 2 Specials, as well as 1 Carafe of Sake, or 2 Beers, or 2 Non-Alcoholic Beverages.
Omakase literally means “I Leave The Details Up to You,” which is exactly what you can expect from the moment you take a seat in this intimate jewel. The team of incredibly talented "itamae" - aka, sushi masters - will work their magic as the omakase experience unfolds like a carefully composed symphony of precision and passion.
A whisper of excited buzz fills the air as Head Chef Jason Lin gets to work and your delectable appetizer arrives, kickstarting your palate for what's to come. Next up, expect a procession of cuts flown in fresh from Japan's famed Tsukiji Market daily. Imagine translucent slices of Hotate (scallop), Kanpachi (amberjack), Chu Toro (medium fatty tuna), A5 Miyazaki Wagyu, and the like are delicately placed before you.
The moment your chopsticks lift the first piece, time slows. The flavors unfold, and as the courses progress, you're taken on a journey through the essence of the season. Add in a special like the Wagyu, Scallop & Truffle, not to mention sips to cleanse the palate. This is beyond your most lavish dinner dreams...
At Koete, you'll be treated to a refined chef’s choice omakase in the heart of Manhattan, where exceptional sushi meets an intimate, alluring atmosphere. Chefs craft each dish with precision and passion, showcasing authentic techniques and seasonal ingredients inspired by Japan’s coastal cuisine. Come as you are, and let the chef take care of the rest.
From the moment you enter, the frenetic pace of Manhattan fades as you are enveloped in its embrace. The atmosphere evokes a sleek, contemporary elegance rooted in the quiet beauty of a Kyoto escape - think clean lines, natural woods, and soft lighting that sets the stage for indulgence. You'll find the perfect balance of NYC energy and a reverent stillness that invites you to slow down and savor each second.
Chef Jason Lin, Head Chef at Koete Omakase, brings over 28 years of expertise to his role, crafting a feast rooted in the art of omakase. Trained in traditional Japanese techniques and shaped by a global culinary journey through Italian, Spanish, and East Asian cuisines, Chef Lin infuses each piece of nigiri with bold finesse and unexpected harmony.
His commitment to craftsmanship shines in every detail, from the careful sourcing of seasonal seafood to the curated toppings that elevate each bite. Driven by precision and imagination, Chef Lin’s creations honor Japanese tradition while telling a unique, global story on every plate.
A few sips of curated sake or an ice-cold beer will make your palate sing with anticipation as an appetizer impresses, giving you a picture of what's to come. The chef's whims & seasonal freshness guide the menu, revolving about fresh catches that are whisked in from Japan every week. Think maximum flavor, and seasonality that is second to none.
Picture presentations of Uni (urchin) that melt on your tongue like butter, O Toro (fatty tuna) nestled atop a warm pillow of rice, and Shima Aji (striped Jack) glistening from the knife's touch, among others. Each dish arrives in hushed reverence, presented with poetic precision. Finally, a hand roll and a special like Scallop, Ebi & Uni end a dreamscape of palatable bliss.
Such an intimate rendezvous makes you realize this is more than dinner, rather a meditation on craftsmanship & a fleeting art form. Trust us - the memory of this will last long after you'll left its enchanting embrace...

The chef’s passion and precision really shine through - truly an artist. It felt like a true culinary journey. Easily one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in NYC. Can’t wait to come back!"
"We had a lovely dinner here. The Japanese restaurant offers delicious Omakase special - the fish was great quality, everything is very fresh, 16 courses which was unbelievable given how wonderful everything was. Highly recommend! I’m giving this 5/5 five stars, very special taste very unique. I love it."
"The courses were delicious. The omakase here has a more complex and richer flavor profile than most places out there. I also heard that almost all the fish are sourced from Japan several times a week. Can definitely taste the difference in terms of freshness."
