New York City has a dynamic new restaurant in town, and Oxford Property Group was thrilled to be part of making this dream into a reality.

Oxford’s own Mizuka Murai was the broker for client Xing Guang Wang, a chef with his sights set on the New York City sushi scene. Keeping the growing tech scene in mind, along with the hungry hoards from New York University, Murai worked closely with Chef Wang to secure an ideal location that is close to his hungry clientele.

Located downtown at 50 Greenwich Street in the West Village and nestled between Charles and Perry Streets, Umami Sushi has a sleek sushi bar which seats up to 18 people, making it a perfect destination for your next lunch meeting or get-together with friends.

Murai said of the location, “Small and casual Japanese dining is just perfect for the location to cater for all tourists, students, family, and professionals.”

Featuring delectable sushi, sashimi and signature rolls, Chef Wang is an alumni of Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya and has impeccable taste -- which we know will make Umami Sushi a huge success. Keeping the discerning palates of New Yorkers in mind, Chef Wang added specialties to the menu, like signature fried chicken and chicken wings with honey wasabi dipping sauce, zuke tuna and a crispy rice appetizer.

Murai added that Chef Wang, “...has over 10 years of his experiences as high end sushi chef. However he priced his menu competitively to any other great quality Japanese restaurants. He’s getting his beer and wine license soon so the dining experience at Umami Sushi will be even better very soon!”

With more New Yorkers moving into new luxury condos nearby, Umami Sushi is well-positioned to satiate those looking for a delicious meal.

The New York Post recently took note of this exciting addition to the New York City dining scene and noted that the location will allow the restaurant “...to reach techies who work in the area — for companies like Google.”

Everyone at Oxford was delighted for Murai’s success in this transaction, where she represented both parties, and we look forward to dining at Umami Sushi frequently where we know we’ll find incredible food and wonderful camaraderie.
