About
Sushi Ikumi occupies a quiet stretch of Sullivan Street in SoHo as the omakase sibling to the acclaimed kaiseki restaurant Hirohisa. Owned by Japanese-born chef Hirohisa Hayashi from Echizen Prefecture, the 10-seat cedar counter is presided over by chef Jongin Jeong, who charges $220 for an 18-course dinner and $150 for a 16-course Saturday lunch. The Michelin Guide has highlighted it as one of New York's best affordable omakase experiences, praising the seasonal menu's depth and the kitchen's knowledge of fish sourcing. Reservations open two weeks in advance via Resy for parties of one to six.
