★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was welcoming and stylish. The omakase menu was a journey of flavors each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with deliciousness. The chef was not only skilled but also friendly and engaging, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The staff was attentive, and the drinks complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend it!
August 25 · Steven ZabalaI think for New York this is a really good sushi spot! Service was really good the staff was more than accommodating and friendly. The whiskey sour was incredible. Highly recommend. Overall great place for a date or catching up with and old friend.
August 05 · Jovanny SanchezAmazing Japanese restaurant!I love visiting New York and having the opportunity to experience the unlimited dinning options. This time I was in the mood for Japanese and found out The Chemistry Room. I visited another place in a previous visit called the Lab Rooftop. I think they are related. Both are located in the same building.I made the reservation for dinner a la carte but once I was there I switched to Omakase and it was totally worth it! The price was $100 per person plus tip and it included about 16 bites in total, each of them more delicious than the previous one. It was a great experience. After I finished Omakase, I did an additional Tuna Flight.The service is amazing and having the Omakase experience we had the opportunity to interact with the Chef and he was explaining every piece of the menu with so much detail.The only piece that I didn't enjoy because it was a pungent flavor, it was the Bafan Uni made from Sea Urchin. Also the texture was something I wasn't familiar with.I wouldn't care to repeat again this amazing experience in the future.
September 10 · Carlos PenaMy wife and I have been here 8 times. This is our favorite restaurant hands down. We’ve tried many omakase spots and the value and quality are the best here. We love the kind staff and chefs. They make us feel special and celebrate us for all our special occasions we spend here. We love the Chemistry Room!! We always sit at the chefs counter and get the 15 course omakase. Cocktails are amazing as well.
August 15 · Brian DodgeHad a delicious sushi meal here. Sampled 17 different pieces of sushi with their dinner omakase option. All were very tasty with my favorite being the first piece of golden eye red snapper. The pieces were brought out quickly one after another, took about 60 minutes from start to dessert. Food was prepared right in front of you when sitting at the bar.It’s a nice sushi spot one block from crazy Times Square.
