Great vibe in there , friendly people , iam very picky with sushi and i tell u sushi here is really good ... Amin behind the bar is great makes people feel home... Weekends here is very cool.

I love Amber restaurants , esp the one on the UWS! The menu is pocket friendly and the atmosphere is simple yet chic ! My favorites on the menu are the Pad Thai , Homestyle Pepper Steak , & the Panggang .

Eliana Hamel

Great food and ambiance. Definitely get some sushi here! But ask for your check and pay while you are eating because if you ask after you are done eating it will take 20 minutes to get you your check.

Jaron

Great lunch special ! Salad , soup , dumplings and the meal. (Asian style seafood rice is my FAV) all for under $11.00...Great value in the city . One of my favorite spots!

EArchitect

There's additional seating in the rear, which IMO is the better section to dine, especially with a large group of friends.

Darryl Scott

This is my wife & I's favorite Thai spot. They have the best pad thai ever! Also their mango chicken is killer! This is a must go for any Thai food lover.

Baturalp

This place is a hidden gem . Sushi was fresh and tasty but I cannot tell the same for cocktails . Order some pan fried dumplings !

Dani B

Really like their crunchy spicy tuna roll ... I get extra spicy mayo on the side! They also have an amazing lunch special that's pretty much the best deal on earth.

Pramod Pai

http://freshnyc.com/japanese/ambers-trendy-ring-pan-asian-fusion-restaurants-nyc appetizers are good

Melissa Cheing

Amazing brunch place . Get Thai or sushi with 2 mimosas or white wine for 20 or less

Clau Dia

Best sushi lunch special in uws- $9 for 2 rolls , ginger salad and miso soup . Tables by windows best esp when open.

Bas

Yeah, its a bit over priced if you're eating alone. But if you can split a sushi platter with someone else, it doesn't hurt the pockets that much. Sushi was decent. Cool place. Nice bathrooms

Natalie K

ᴡ Elliot

Dragos Ion

On weekends you get 2 free beers with your brunch which is essentially the same as lunch and price on a weekday without beers

Can't go wrong with spicy scallop hand roll or the crispy sangria duck

Biyon is the best waitress . She charged my phone, free sake , and took pics. We like her.

Get the zesty chicken with walnuts

Joey Daoud

Pad Thai is ok, wouldn't say the best I ever had. Sashimi platter had a lot of tuna , nothing too crazy.

Carolyn Jones

Rolls were excellent! Great place for a quiet lunch .

Cree Lawson

Try the "hot sauce " that comes with the sushi if you ask for it. Seems mayonnaise based. Nice complement.

Cheap sushi , not too bad. Nice service, a bit slow

I like this place and want to come back but the linen napkins smell really bad and that's not a good sign of the cleanliness of the joint.
