Raphael Langenscheidt

Incredible. The chefs tasting platter is the best sushi I've had in New York City . Couple it with a bottle of 'Miracle sake ' and simply enjoy. Total diamond in the (not so) rough.

Elyse Estrada

This is some of the best sushi and fairly reasonable at that. Rolls are great especially the spicy crunchy salmon ! They’re pretty big though so 3 rolls are fine shared by 2 if you get an app.

Elizabeth Burstein

Went again! Had tuna tortilla + salmon crunchy roll + fresh spring + black dynamite roll . Favs: tuna tortilla + fresh spring, then black dynamite

AlAnoud A AlGhunaim

Extremely trendy , food is on point! They recommended the crispy lobster taco and their gyoza , both were really good. Sushi was so fresh it’s incredible, will be trying their rolls next time.

Elizabeth Burstein

You must get the tuna tortilla , lobster spring roll , dynamite roll , and the sushi platter !

Mike Nickerson

Some of the best sushi I've had in New York! The crispy rice roll , crunch salmon , and sushimi platters are delectable. Trendy vibe, be prepared for a wait esp on a weekend

Elizabeth Burstein

Tuna tortilla great as usual. Ordered fresh spring, salmon crunch, nakamura, and momoya spicy tuna . We loved the crunchy but spicy tuna was least fav. Would double up the crunch or switch to new

Chelsea Murray

They don't take reservations but it's well worth the wait and you can grab a drink while you wait. Order the following: crispy shrimp , tuna tortilla , crispy rice roll , Greenwich roll.

AmateurConcierge

Great value in a swanky setting. Had a giant plate of steamed veggies , a sizable miso Black cod app and a speciality roll and got out under $60 with tip. And all dishes were solid

Clara Sanchez

No reservations but well worth the wait. Friendly staff , sleek decor, and excellent sushi . Can’t go wrong with the black cod or the crispy rice roll .

Swen Graham

Best Goyza in NYC, maybe the best in the world. Get it or you're a chump.

Annie Tolochinski

Oh momoya! You wouldn't realize it walking by - great sushi at great prices. You have to get the crispy rice roll .

Angelina Zeppieri

Best sushi of my life. Get the crispy rice ! Opt to sit at the bar if you’re a small party and the wait is long.

Jessey White-Cinis

Solid fish , skillfully prepared. The menu has many crowd-pleasing options like crispy rice with maguro tuna , but I'd stick to nigiri . I recommend ordering scallop sushi with shiso leaf and sea salt .

Tim Shea

Delicious sushi , amazing service, but you'll definitely have to wait for a table. Ask for a seat at the sushi bar , so you can watch it all being made.

Elizabeth Burstein

Sushi platter is great except want to avoid eel next time. The miso soup is a bit too salty. Lastly, the momoya roll is good but a bit on the gushi side. The dynamite roll is dynamite !!

Sharon P.

Well-priced, good-tasting sushi . Service was a little slow —the place was packed. Get there before 6 to avoid a wait. And get the negihama roll.

James Kiernan

Fresh, reliable sushi . Ideal for quick business lunch . They don’t accept reservations but you rarely have to wait. ????

Alex Bosworth

Really great rolls, lots of stuff that is new and inventive and really tasty. Try a crispy rice roll

AFAR Media

Come before 7pm and you won't have to wait in line . (If you do get stuck having to wait, then head across the street to Bar Veloce and have them call you.) Read more

Worth the wait! Get the “Miso Black Cod ” for less???? than at Nobu’s. However the sushi is just average compared to Azabu, 15 East or Sushi Yasuda.

Meredith Blechman

Greatest neighborhood sushi in NYC. Get the tuna crispy rice , miso black cod roll, green salad (ginger dressing is amazing), and the salmon crunchy roll

Nicole Tseng

Their sushi tasting is my favorite in the city ! Always good, always interesting. Add in the crispy rice , and even I'm full

Bonnie Carpenter

The best sushi place in manhattan. The seaweed salad is to die for and the yellowtail jalapeño is heaven. Everything was good. A bit pricy but oh so worth it

Elizabeth Burstein

Loved this again! The soft shell crab spider replaced the rainbow. So good! Thinking of swapping dynamite out next time

Tyler Simmons

Some of the best sushi in the area for a reasonable cost . Spicy tuna on crunchy rice is amazingly good.

Ksu K

Fantastic food! Sushi melts in your mouth (let the chef pick for you), shumai is delicious and umeshu is on point! Pricey , but so worth it!

Christin Gordon

one of my favorite meals in the city : crispy rice with a side of eel sauce (I ask for it without the shiitake )

Ernesto Gutierrez

What is not to like here? Eel over rice , momoya spicy tuna roll , salmon crunchy roll . Don't leave out dessert : mochi ice cream and Mille crepes

Lexi

Price to quality ratio here is insanely good. Get the eggplant w miso , the tuna tortilla , the crispy rice roll and the black dynamite roll !

Joe Rizk

the crispy rice roll is ????, topped w spicy tuna and jalapeno

Erin Shea

Excellent sushi and ambiance. Snag a seat at the sushi bar to watch friendly staff prepare sushi rolls . Fresh, delicious sushi .

Idan Deutsch

Wow. I wish I hadn't taken so long to discover this place. Best crispy rice I've had outside of LA. The Greenwich roll and The Black Diamond roll are also superb.

Linda Nguyen

Get the spicy crispy shrimp , the dynamite roll , salmon avocado roll , and a few pieces of sake sushi . Gyoza was good but not mind blowing, it can be skipped. Great service!

Eline Van den Eeckhaut

They don’t take reservations so you’ll have to wait for a while. But more than worth it, such great sushi rolls ! Especially loved the Salmon Crunch.

Nouf

Best sushi in NY! Try the soft shell crab , soo good. Tuna salad & tuna tortilla were great

Melissa Rosenthal

Consistently excellent food and service. The tuna pita on the menu is a must have along with the miso cod .

Abdullatif A

Try any of the special rolls in the menu. All are great. One of the best sushi places in terms of food, service and pricing.

Jason Quarisa

Excellent! Best Japanese. Recommend the lobster spring role, edamame and ricotta dumplings and the crispy signature role.

Dionysis Zindros

Would recommend against the crispy roll – it's less sushi and more fusion. The rainbow roll was traditional and excellent.

Edwina McGregor

The sukiyaki lunch special was delicious. Not too bad for the price too. Very fast service .

Burak Bekdemir

You should get the Crispy Rice Roll .

Melissa Rosenthal

Would come here again and again. Try the sashimi plate. Such a great deal for the price.

Natasha Fischer

Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice is probably the best in NYC!

Lindsay Brooke

Eggplant appetizer with miso glaze, tuna and avocado appetizer , and all of the rolls!

Carla Santistevan

Great place. Food is surprisingly fresh and tasty; totally worth the wait.

Sean Reed

Lunch specials are amazing. Also get the crispy rice appetizer . It’s pretty great

Lizzy K

Great lunch specials - two/three sushi rolls , donburi , and bento boxes !

Jane Katz

ugh can't speak highly enough about the chirashi lunch special . so much fresh fish on a lovely bed of soft, squishy sushi rice . DO IT????

Eugene Shevertalov

Everything is good here! I've had the soups , sushi , shashimi and charashi. This is a staple on a Sunday night for us.
