Just finished an omakase dinner at Thirteen Water West and wow, what an amazing experience. Every selection was delicious. Edison was a master sushi chef and went out of his way to make us feel at home. He delivered each piece with expert precision and was very funny throughout the dinner. Our waitress, Mandy, was incredibly friendly and very attentive, making sure that our sake cups were never empty. I’m already counting down the days that I return

Edison gave us the best omakase experience ever for my birthday! From start to finish, he took such great care of us and made the night feel incredibly special. The quality of the sushi at Thirteen Water West is outstanding—everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Every course was a delight, and you could really tell how much thought and craftsmanship went into each piece. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable omakase experience!

Thirteen Water was probably one of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had! Bryan was truly an amazing chef who is a master at his craft and was super friendly. The food was phenomenal and the service was perfect as everyone was very attentive and accomodating. I would absolutely recommend this spot - great quality food and service! I will definitely be coming back whenever I get the chance.

I had an incredible experience at Thirteen Water West Omakase -- special thanks to chef Edison and chef Sean! This is one of my favorite omakase places -- the pieces are actually a really good portion/on the larger size and the toppings on top of each are so unique (toasted seaweed, ginger flakes, truffle, toasted tomato, etc;). I personally loved the salmon tomato piece -- it was so juicy and the flavors are exquisite! The chefs also made the whole evening so fun — they are super friendly, patient with photos, and great to chat with! Top-tier hospitality and food! Highly recommend -- been there twice already, and will definitely be going back again :) thanks again!

What an amazing experience. Not only was the food phenomenal and amazing, but the service was personal, perfect, and attentive. I’ve never had sushi so fresh, so flavorful, with such great attention to flavor pairings. My favorite of the omakase experience was definitely the hamachi with the roasted shishito pepper. I don’t think I could go back to any regular sushi restaurant after this. Sean, our sushi chef, was truly a master at his craft. I was so impressed with the level of technique and attention to detail each piece of sushi received. You would think he was someone who has done this his whole lifetime with the level of expertise he showed! Absolutely loved this spot, great price, great quality of food, and left very full. Definitely going to try coming again before my weekend trip is over.

One of the best Omakase I have tried in NYC. They have created their own sushis with different association of ingredients/ flavors that is just incredible! The fish are so fresh, it’s just melt in your mouth like butter We also got lucky to Bryan as our chef! He is so sweet and nice, made experience even greater! I will definitely go back to the place!

I had a wonderful time at Thirteen Water. Chef Edison really makes you feel at home, and he’s so personable. The pacing of the food is fantastic and it allows you to savor each nigiri that comes your way. The staff was always on top of it and refilled my water every time it was low without me ever asking for it. All in all, for the price point, it’s hard to beat and I would highly recommend it.

Everything was delicious and service was amazing! Out chef Sean gave us wonderful extra courses and made us feel so welcome. My friend was visiting NYC from out of town and wanted omakase, so I brought her here, and it absolutely delivered. Would definitely come back here!!! 10/10
