Mido Omakase Room Adds Relatively Affordable Tasting Menu to Williamsburg’s Omakase Scene

North Brooklyn has become an unexpected destination for Japanese omakase. Newcomer Mido Omakase Room (221 South 1st St.), opened in south Williamsburg, not far from Shota (50 South 3rd St.), an upscale omakase spot that opened last year.

Mido offers a relatively affordable approach, similar to U Omakase (173 Greenpoint Ave.) which opened in Greenpoint two years ago.

Mido’s omakase brunch on Saturdays and Sundays offers a 10-course tasting menu for $68, which the Mido team says “has been a hit with guests.”

Mido’s dinner service offers a 15-course tasting menu for $100, which is still significantly cheaper than other options.

Chef Sato Cheuk of Mido brings a wealth of passion and experience from his time in France. Chef Cheuk uses a unique fusion of edomae sushi traditions and contemporary culinary innovation.

“What sets Mido Omakase Room apart is our commitment to innovation and creativity. Our culinary team goes beyond traditional flavors, introducing unique and diverse taste profiles that delight and surprise our guests,” said owner Ben Leung.

“This creative approach not only honors the essence of Japanese cuisine, but also elevates it with a global touch, making each visit to the Mido Omakase Room a unique and memorable experience.”

Leung said Green pointers that he decided to open Mido in Williamsburg because he was “motivated by a love of the neighborhood’s vibrant culture and a desire to offer something distinctive and memorable to the community.”

“The community has warmly welcomed us and we are excited to be part of such a vibrant and diverse region,” said the Mido team.

The Mido Omakase room is open Monday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. for brunch and Saturday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner.
