Jewel Bako

Jewel Bako Review

In a minefield of cheap, often inferior sushi houses gleams tiny Jewel Bako. 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 sushi master Yoshi Kousaka. His five-course omakase, or chef's menu, starts at $95. (A less-expensive sushi or sashimi omakase is $50.) You'll be served only what's freshest and best.
