Ki Sushi Smith Street Guide: Menu Highlights, Reservations, and Tips
By James H. Sterling
Q1: Does Ki Sushi accommodate dietary restrictions during the counter omakase?
A1: The kitchen handles gluten sensitivities and shellfish allergies when notified at least 24 hours in advance. However, the omakase counter cannot accommodate vegetarian, vegan, or soy-free diets due to the reliance on dashi broths, soy marinades, and raw fish.
Q2: What is the dress code and corkage policy?
A2: The dress code is casual to smart-casual. Diners wear everything from denim to tailored jackets. The restaurant allows guests to bring personal wine or sake bottles for a corkage fee of $35 per 750ml bottle, with a two-bottle maximum per party.
Q3: How accessible is the restaurant via public transit?
A3: Ki Sushi is exceptionally transit-accessible. The Bergen Street station (F and G trains) sits two blocks south. The Hoyt-Schermerhorn station (A, C, and G trains) and Jay St-MetroTech (A, C, F, and R trains) are both within an eight-minute walk.
