Fodor's Review:

In a minefield of cheap, often inferior sushi houses gleams tiny Jewel Bako. In one of the best sushi restaurants in the East Village, the futuristic bamboo tunnel of a dining room is gorgeous, but try to nab a place at the sushi bar and put yourself in the hands of Masato Shimizu. His omakase, or chef's menu, starts at $85. He will serve you only what's freshest and best.
