I came here for dinner one evening and had a great time. The inside of the omkase room is comfortable and casual, but still nice. There’s a bar section, but also two booths for you to sit at if you choose. We ended up choosing to sit at their booths. We came at 7pm on a Wednesday evening and there was still plenty of space, so you could definitely do a walk-in here.

We chose their original omakase set, which included 1 appetizer, 13 nigiri, and 1 kaisendon for $100. We also got a carafe of sake. Everything was great. My favorites of this omakase set were their botan ebi, miso black cod, and uni kaisendon. We also decided to follow up with an otoro handroll and uni nigiri. Loved those pieces and thought that they did them really well. This spot is more traditional (less innovative with their pieces/garnishes) and has a bigger focus on white fish. With each piece, we were shown a powerpoint and picture of the fish. Staff was great. Cool experience, and good omakase in Williamsburg!

My favorite spot for omakase. The food and service are both top notch! The chef and hostess are great at explaining the different type of fish being served and each pieces literally just melts in your mouth. The atmosphere was welcoming and intimate, I will definitely keep coming here for the freshness and tastiness of the omakase course!

Man this was first omakase so not much to compare it to but it was amazing! Each bite just kept getting better and better and for only $100? I feel like that’s a great deal. I plan on taking my sister-in-law when she’s in town.

TLDR: I’m pretty surprised I haven’t left a review yet as I’ve been to this omakase place more than any other (4x in the past year and for a reason)! It’s a great price for the quality and quantity of fish and sushi you get ($150 for seasonal, $100 for regular- each with 13 pieces + appetizers and or dessert/hand roll) and the sushi chefs are always super informative and kind.

SETTING: the restaurant is a typical omakase spot with a long bar as well as some booth like tables. Unlike some other omakase spots the bar is sufficiently spacious that you’re not sitting on top of your neighbor. Darker decor and dimmer lighting makes this a great spot for dinner, a date, catching up with friends, etc.

FOOD: I have no complaints about the quality and quantity of sushi here. The fish is always super fresh and delicious as is the rice. I especially love the appetizers (always changing). The rice CAN be on the slightly smaller side but not small enough to complain about. Also for $150 you get 3 appetizers, 13 pieces of sushi, a hand roll and dessert!

SERVICE: the service here is always top notch. The sushi chefs are super nice and they show you pictures of each type of fish you are eating.

VERDICT: this is my go to omakase restaurant as Williamsburg doesn’t have many options, but the quality, quantity and service make this a great choice. I will certainly be back 🙂

Was in the mood for omakase and randomly found this place and had high ratings, so decided to give it a try. Was able to book a late reservation for two. Was not disappointed. Every bite of the omakase was sooo good. The nigiri were all so fresh and the servers show you a pic of the fish you eat. We also ordered a glass of the sake (the one with the pear note) and it was dangerously smooth. Best omakase we’ve had. We only tried the classic omakase but def plan on coming back to try the seasonal omakase with more pieces. Highly recommend.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for an incredible experience. Mido Omakase Room takes the traditional omakase experience and elevates it. We started with the sake. Unlike the endless sake lists you see at most restaurants, this spot offers the best four, each curated and beautifully presented in a unique carafe.

What makes Mido so special is the dedication to craft, education, and excitement around each piece. Every dish is accompanied by a picture of the fish, the cut, and the name. Service was on point all night and felt right at home. We absolutely fell back in love with pieces we’ve had many times before. For the unbeatable price of $100, you won’t find another omakase of this caliber at this price!
