If you’re looking for an exclusive-feeling experience without the exclusive hassle, this sushi spot has just the thing. On the lower level of Kibo’s Secret Garden Yorkville location, something even more intimate is taking over. The new omakase experience holds just two seatings a night and can be enjoyed by reservation only.
The omakase experience only allows for seatings of two people per reservation for a total of six people per seating. Time slots are 5:30 and 7:45 p.m., and the sushi house began accepting reservations after its soft opening on June 29. The soft opening price is $180, though the price will eventually rise to $200.
The authentic omakase experience honours the Japanese tradition of letting a chef design the menu, as the phrase translates to “I’ll leave it up to you.” So, the omakase experience at Kibo is, naturally, no different, and the chef designs the offerings that are available nightly.
The seatings take place in an ultra-modern interior, complete with dark, moody walls, wooden details and golden, contemporary chandeliers. There’s banquette seating and modern chairs, perfect for enjoying the fresh fish and traditional Japanese fare.
The Secret Garden omakase experience is located at 154 Cumberland St., and reservations can be made via email at kiboomakase@kibosushi.com.
