Hudson Square
Umeko hands you $48 of gorgeous raw fish and lets you play. Choose from two seasonal don sets — mixed chirashi or single-fish highlights like four cuts of tuna — then roll your own temaki with nori sheets, housemade soy, and fresh wasabi. It is unfussy, fast, and genuinely fun: the kind of place where you eat well without making a hundred decisions.
