L’abeille à Côté is a counter-only sushi restaurant on Greenwich Street in Manhattan, led by Chef Hiroshi, who trained in Tokyo. The room holds ten seats and has no private room, keeping the focus on the counter and the nightly progression of nigiri and small courses.
The omakase runs fifteen courses for $150 per person, with an optional $30 sake pairing. Seatings last about two hours, and the kitchen offers an English menu, which helps first-time visitors follow the sequence. Dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant holds one Michelin star and is Michelin listed.
Hours are limited: Tuesday through Thursday from 5:30 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m., and closed Sunday and Monday. Reservations are typically booked about two weeks out and can be made through Tock, with an OpenTable listing also available for booking. Given the small seat count, tables move quickly once released, so checking both platforms close to the desired date is worthwhile.
The experience is rated moderate in difficulty, meaning it rewards some familiarity with omakase pacing but doesn't require prior sushi-counter experience. For questions about walk-in availability, allergy accommodations, or group seating, contacting the restaurant directly at (212) 542-3897 is the most reliable route.
