insulting service ruins perfectly good sushi
good sushi in a nice dinning room jam packed with the corporate set trying to feel hip and in the know in East Vill. wear a suit and take your corporate card or you'll be treated like rotten fish in this lovely little spot.

Wonderful experience
Jewel Bako is still great. The fish is fresher than ever, I mean melt in your mouth good. Service is just lovely and the place is particularly beautiful, designed with elegance and comfort in mind, despite the small space. Order the yellowtail sampler appetizer and the Japanese snow crab roll. I'll be back after the next couple paychecks.

Most uncomfortable
this place was too small and too "trendy" super annoying. sushi was pretty delicious i must say, but not worth sitting in that annoying space and that tiny table.

great sushi
Jewel Bako is still excellent. The sushi is fresh and high quality. The service cant be beat. The anago is perfect. Great place.

unpleasant meal
Jewel Bako USED to be great. Not anymore. The entire meal was bland and the fish wasn't fresh, all for a mere $135. per person. I spoke to the waiter as I was leaving to tell him how disappointed I was and he apologized and told me they would be getting a new chef. Shame on you Jewel Bako for serving us such poor food. I will never return.

Amazing
The best omakase ive ever had. The fish is supremely fresh and the sake was great. Come here. Sit at the bar.

Best Omakase in NYC
This is the fifth time I've esten at Jewel Bako and the service and excellent food are impeccable. Every dish is beautifully presented and the waiters are happy to explain each cut of fish. Dunno what Lobster boy in the previous review is complaining about. He'd rather have the thing boiled alive? Definitely a silly review there. Lobster boy should stick to eating grass, but oh no, isn't the grass sufferring too, being denied water and all? If you want great experience for Japanese cuisine, with excellent fresh sushi, come to Jewel Bako.
