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
$250 meal in the East Village? Bring back Theresa's!!!!
Echoing @noble neolani, I am sooo over "omakase" and "tasting menus". And 250 bucks? Dans votre chapeau, baby!
$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!).
Seems unnecessary hate for a place that hasn't even opened yet.
And...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".
Maybe 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.
I don't think you understand what a counter omakase experience is. Counter is the way to go, and watch.
And no one on EVG never complained on their prices...
Theresa’s was my fave Polish restaurant!
Two hundred and fifty dollars!? For $250 I can get a bucket at KFC and an eight ball of cocaine. Geez
