It needs no introduction to the sushi fanatics in the crowd, who are unanimously bullish on Seki. The restaurant is assuredly and unimpeacably in the company of the best sushi joints in New York City, both if you're looking for omakase or are on more of a pieces-and-rolls program. Seki-san cut his teeth at Sushi of Gari before striking out on his own. Some of Gari's flair is present here, too. Says the NY Times, "sushi is prepared with artistry, dedication and panache."
