The Instagram description: An upscale Omakase restaurant serving authentic Edomae-style sushi by Executive Chef and co-founder Marco Lin, a veteran of Bryant Park's Michelin-starred Sushi Ginza Onodera.
Reservations are available via Resy, which notes to "expect a $250 tasting."
Sushi Mumi takes over for Kura, which closed back in the summer after nine years in service.

I am sooo over "Restaurants" and their "chefs", apparently we are in Gilded Age 2.0
ReplyDelete$250 meal in the East Village? Bring back Theresa's!!!!
ReplyDeleteTheresa’s was my fave Polish restaurant!
DeleteEchoing @noble neolani, I am sooo over "omakase" and "tasting menus". And 250 bucks? Dans votre chapeau, baby!
ReplyDelete$250, seriously? Everyone eating there will be slumming from a richer neighborhood, since virtually nobody around here spends that kind of money to eat out (especially for counter service!).
ReplyDeleteI don't think you understand what a counter omakase experience is. Counter is the way to go, and watch.
DeleteSeems unnecessary hate for a place that hasn't even opened yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd...I mean...the EV is still more diverse than many a downtown neighborhood, but let's not pretend there aren't plenty of rich folks living here to eat at this place.
@12:01PM: Hate? No hate, just astonishment that while so many people in this city don't have enough to eat, and many children get 2 of their meals of the day at SCHOOL, people are just fine with dropping that kind of coin for an omakase "experience".
ReplyDeleteMaybe if, for every $250 that was spent there, $50 was also donated to food pantries and similar, it would be a *little* bit less heedlessly offensive to the rest of us.
aww, I'll miss Kura.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one on EVG never complained on their prices...
DeleteTwo hundred and fifty dollars!? For $250 I can get a bucket at KFC and an eight ball of cocaine. Geez
