Taikun Sushi

This tiny omakase counter on the LES only has eight seats, so you have slightly better odds of booking just one instead of two. The 13-course meal is $85 per person, which is a pretty decent deal considering the fact that it contains some of our favorite individual pieces of fish at any price point. People tend to strike up a conversation across the counter here, so don’t be surprised if you leave with a new favorite sub-$100 omakase spot and a new friend.
