Mojo East Introduce
Welcome to Mojo East, a Japanese restaurant that has quickly established itself as a true destination for sushi lovers in New York City. Nestled on Stanton Street in the vibrant Lower East Side, our restaurant is dedicated to providing an exceptional and intimate omakase experience. We believe that great sushi is about more than just fresh fish; it’s about the art, the atmosphere, and the personal connection with the chef. Our mission is to deliver an unforgettable dining experience that feels both luxurious and welcoming, making every visit a special occasion. While New York has countless sushi spots, Mojo East is the one that people keep coming back to, and for good reason.

Our omakase menu is carefully curated to showcase the freshest fish available, ensuring each nigiri and hand roll is a masterpiece of flavor and texture. We take pride in serving sushi at the perfect temperature, a detail that truly elevates the dining experience. But what makes Mojo East truly special is the personal touch.

He has a unique ability to make you feel like you’re at a friend's dinner party, even while you’re being served by a sushi master. This combination of world-class food and a warm, personal atmosphere is what makes us the real deal, worth traveling miles for.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We’ve already driven from Baltimore to Mojo East three times… that’s how you know it’s the real deal. 🐟 The fish? Crazy fresh. The price? 13 courses for $55 AND no tipping. Can’t beat it.But honestly, what makes it extra special is Chef Ken. He’s the kind of chef who makes you feel like you’re at a friend’s dinner party (if your friend happened to be a sushi master). Sit with him if you want to be taken care of — he makes the whole experience unforgettable.NYC has a ton of sushi spots, but Mojo East is the one we keep coming back to. Worth every mile. 🚗🍣
August 09 · Kayla LajaraThe omakase experience was wonderful. The fish was fresh and the nigiris were delicious. The chef served the sushi at a good temperature. The only critic is that the support staff hurried the customers. As a customer dining at such a fine dine restaurant, you do not want to encounter such thing.
September 07 · Kaustubh KReally enjoy the omakase here. Several points to this place: 1. Interesting twist on all the pieces 2. $55 for 13 pieces, very reasonable price 3. No tipping, no tipping, no tipping. Love the experience. Especially when they serve good quality food and they also give good care to the food.
September 09 · Jiao ZhangI’d love to recommend this hidden gem omakase spot in NYC — honestly the best value I’ve found so far. For just $55, you get a 13-course omakase experience that completely exceeded my expectations.The restaurant is immaculately clean, the ambience is warm and relaxing, and most impressively — there’s no tipping required, but the service is absolutely top-notch. The quality of the fish and the attention to detail were far beyond what you’d expect at this price point.If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality omakase without any pressure to tip, this place is a must-try.
June 23 · Linda So QMojo East is one of the best Omakase experiences I’ve had — AND at an incredible value! Every course was beautifully prepared with top-quality fish, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The chef’s attention to detail and the presentation were top-notch, and the atmosphere was welcoming and never pretentious.The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience, which, they do. We’ve been twice in the past month and can’t wait to go again.If you’re looking for high-end quality without the sky-high price tag, this place is a gem.
