What to Expect From the 14-Course Format

A date-night omakase at Kawa is not built around ordering several dishes for the table. Guests sit for a chef-selected progression of seasonal courses, including nigiri prepared one piece at a time. The menu changes with availability, so the experience is structured but not static.

Kawa is located at 37 East 1st Street, convenient for guests coming from nearby downtown neighborhoods including NoHo, Bowery, SoHo, Nolita, NYU, Union Square, and the Lower East Side.
