Omakaseed debuts in New York City’s NoMad neighborhood

  • May 13, 2022
  • Asian, Blog, New York City, NoMad, Sushi, Vegan News, Vegan Restaurant

There’s a new plant-based experience in town, thanks to the opening of Omakaseed at Plant Bar. Omakaseed is a vegan omakase dining experience in New York City’s Nomad neighborhood. It’s located inside the all-vegan restaurant, Purple Thai.

New York City Vegan Restaurant: Omakaseed

@thedianaedelman Would you try this? #vegantravel #nycdatenite #nycveganrestaurants #newyorkfoodies #foodietok ♬ Grade A (feat. JAWNY) – spill tab

The experience comes from Vegan Warrior Project and SimpleVenue. They’ve created a Japanese-inspired service complete with an eight-seat sushi bar. It offers five seatings per night and clocks in at one hour. The vegan omakase celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Michelin star Executive Chef Roberto Romero leads the experience with Chef Jorge Pineda, Chef at Omakaseed and Executive Chef at the Vegan Warrior Project.

The globally-inspired omakase is curated and offers guests “a dining experience that uncovers the complexities of each vegan sushi course, completely transforming the vegan sushi concept,” says Pineda.

What can you expect at Omakaseed?

The 15-course experience is $65 and features small bites of plant-based eats. Flavors you don’t think of combining — like torched satsuma mandarin and togarsahi on a bed of cauliflower puree — will have your tastebuds happily surprised.

The menu is served over the course of 60 minutes. It may seem like that’s far too many bites for an hour, but you’ll be fine. Nearly every dish is one bite, so it goes quickly. You’re seated where the action is. Chefs create every dish in front of you, so you can watch it all.

While the menu will change every month or so, here’s a look at what the current menu offers.

1 – Potato Veloute

4 – Pressed King Oyster Mushroom Nigiri

Another favorite, this nigiri has incredible flavor.

5 – Tomato Nigiri

Our eyes lit up when we saw the truffle shaved in front of us. Put on top of the avocado, it was hard to taste the truffle. But, the avocado was definitely one of the most perfect, creamiest we’ve ever had.

12 – Smoked Pineapple Nigiri

Torched at the bar, the thin slice of pineapple adds a smokey sweetness to the seaweed we loved.
