“Ordered 3 times already and love! Go for boxes that include your basic faves with gyoza or shumai, spring roll, rice, sushi, and salad (just shredded lettuce tho.)Already tried sweet n sour chix, chix teriyaki, general tso, and beef. Beef dishes aren't poor quality chewy meat either! Looking forward to trying more!“
“The flavors in the grab hand roll set were dynamic and delicious. Jesse helped me out with some recommendations and even asked the chef for more sauce on my a-la carte order. I had the hand roll set and had to go back for a little more! Worth checking out.“
“chef leo is extremely skillful and did a fantastic job giving us the best experience, the ingredients were extremely fresh, and chef leo was also walkin us through each dish, so we were aware of each. The atmosphere is beautiful and comfortable, highly recommend if you’re in “
“This spot opened up a month ago, and I finally came here for lunch. Service was quick. I got the bento box for $22, which consists of a choice between soup or salad, chicken teriyaki, and a choice of hand roll or Maki. I got the shrimp tempura Maki style. Portions were perfect for lunch. The ambiance of this place is Instagram worthy. I'd definitely return for happy hour.“
“First time I went early and quality was impressive but second time quality was off. Got the Alaska, spicy tuna and tunascallion and it was okay. The green tea creme brulee was not my favorite as it was so fatty and sweet. Would not get that again. Got the Madi which was my favorite fish. Spicy tuna was my favorite out if all of them and the eel cucumber special was okay.. Not again“
“Top 2 sushi restaurant around flatiron. More authentic sushi experience with a unique menus and seasonal selection. Omakase by T O W A - I didn’t “W” in the case of my photos. I was back in town for business and was lucky enough to walk in during looting rain. Overall Would eat here again.“
“I got the signature set, which I would recommend if it’s your first time. Everything is well prepared, yummy, and fresh. My favorite from this one is the coconut shrimp curry. I also got the brunch set and really enjoyed this one. It’s very fun with a variety of things I wouldn’t really think of or get in a hand roll place. Surprisingly, my favorite piece from the brunch set is the avocado one. The outside is very crunchy, sucha fun texture with the avocado.Very busy on the weekend. Would recommend having a reservation. If not, they could do walk ins but be prepared to sit outside/not at the counter, which is what I did. I personally would prefer to sit at the counter for the experience.“
“First of all, this is my second time appreciating the sushi sets! I specially love eating omakase, I had been tried a variety of place. But, at last I decided the best of this store, I could really taste the freshener of a variety of fish because I really can sense the brilliant through my tongue! Price are affordable in comparison of others. Environment brings good vibes. I definitely will back and back!“
“Best Sushi restaurant in NYC! Omg the sushi are all fresh and everything taste good!! Location: It is located in Houston St. The interior is very intimate, but you can wear casual. I wear scrubs (coming from work, im a nurse). Lot of seatings and there is a bar. Service: our server was nice, explains well the sushi that we are eating. The girl in the front desk looked at me and my friend because we are wearing scrubs as if she does not want us to enter. Food: you have to order DOMAKASE! It has everything that you need to eat here! Lol everything is good! My faves are TUNA CONE: omg so good, the spicy mayo is inside the cone as if that is the ice cream and tuna is just so fresh on top. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER: cauliflower never tasted this good, and you can eat the green pea miso spread on its own, that is how good it is. SCALLOP RISOTTO: omg this was the bomb! It will be cooked in front of you! It taste like paella but so much better! KABAYAKI: omg the seabass is sweet as if you are not eating a fish! DONBURI: even though the daikon soup is just a little bit, the wagyu don is soo good! CHEF’s CHOICE SUSHI: everything was delicious and fresh, im not sure the names are but they all good, my favorite was the toro sushi. SPICY TUNA HANDROLL: so good too! Not that spicy. CRABMEAT with CRUNCH SEAWEED: reminds me of tacos because of the crunch! BLACK SESAME PANNA COTTA: my fave cause the black sesame has earthy taste and the panna cotta is so silky smooth. HOJICHA PUDDING: taste like tea and the pudding was so soft, melts in the mouth. PEACH LYCHEE: omg so good, the sake is little bit strong but the combination of the peach and lychee is perfect. WATERMELON COOLER: so refreshing and light. Price rating: 8/10, thats the only thing cause its Michelin Restaurant it will be expensive, but it is so good! Definitely will come back here! If it is your first time go for DOMOKASE. Get the scallop risotto too!“
“We celebrated my friend’s birthday here, the staff is definitely 10/10, very cool Chef who has been making sushi for 20+ years, IMAX who is the coolest bartender and made such a beautiful unicorn drink for us, and birthday Mochi on the house.Also shout out to the beautiful hostess Beatrice and Ray who made the whole dining experience super special. ❤️❤️❤️Would definitely come back and celebrate special memories with my friends here.“
“March 2024:We went here a 2nd time for dinner. This time on the weekend. The restaurant was full. It was hectic. Unfortunately also with the service. This time the stress was clearly noticeable. The dishes were no longer always explained beautifully. That's a real shame, especially when it comes to the chef's work. You would have to take this time because it is not exactly standard sushi. The creations require explanation to be fully enjoyed. You didn't notice anything about the quality of the food. These were still at the highest level. My recommendation: one to two more people in service or otherwise accept fewer reservations. The noise level was also unpleasantly high because of all the people.That's why now only 4 instead of 5 stars.September 2023We were here for dinner. I recommend a reservation. We had the sushi and handroll menu. The quality of the sushi I selected was the best I have ever had, and I have been to many Japanese restaurants, including Masa in NYC. The quality was excellent and even with the small toppings, which fit perfectly, it was a really great experience. It was so good that we ordered some more sushi instead of dessert. The service was attentive. There is also a good selection of sake and Japanese beers here.“
“Ordered a salmon donburi lunch set (7 pieces) for about $20, found it to be about average if not slightly above average. There was a nice portion of salmon roe/ikura included with the donburi, as well as a small side salad. I think for the price, it'll be hard to beat this quality. Nothing amazing by any means, but certainly decent and far from bad - a great value and reasonable price for sushi, I will be back to try the nigiri and sashimi!“
“TL;DR: It was FIRE!!!This was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had. From the friendliest Chefs to the amazing flavorful melt in your mouth courses . Chef Ben and Chef Kong were very polite and educated us on what we were eating and had some lovely jokes. It was great to see everything prepared right in front of you and fresh. The pace of when the courses came out was perfect and not rushed at all. The place is small but understandable why they do the reservations the way they do it. I highly recommend going here!“
“This sushi restaurant left a deep impression on me. Their sushi is delicious and soft and glutinous, which gives me an endless aftertaste. At the same time, their production process is excellent, and each sushi is carefully made and matched, will come back for sure.“
“I have been here for both dinner and lunch. I prefer the dinner menu over their lunch menu because of the bigger portions and wider variety, but the dinner menu is available at lunch as well. For dinner, my partner got the braised short rib which he was very pleased with. I got the set of four hand rolls which all tasted fresh and delicious. The hand rolls are more like open sushi tacos. There was a lot of filling so I ended up being fuller than I expected. For lunch, we had the lunch bento set which included a small portion of an entrée, a miso soup or salad, and a hand roll of your choice for about $25 depending on your entree. The teriyaki is on the milder side. Overall, I am happy to have this little gem in Brooklyn. Besides the good food, service has always been exceptional too.“
“Chef was amazing and but the experience was tainted by them having us wait to be seated essentially outside (not sure why others at same counter were seated before us or why there is no designated space - and we were right on time not super early?) and by them pushing us at tad excessively at end and more importantly asking another patron to relinquish the pen they used to sign the bill. Seriously? A 500$ baseline price for food alone and you can’t let the guy just take the pen?“
“The food and service were second to none. We ordered the full 17 piece omakase and couldn't be happier with the quality of food or the atmosphere. Chefs Kevin and Kenny were friendly hosts that created amazing pieces of sushi and were outstanding people to talk to. Truly an amazing experience! Will definitely go again.“
“We had a phenomenal omakase dinner. Pretty much all the dishes were fantastic, from start to finish. A special shout-out to the salmon nigiri with foie gras and the kobe beef nigiri, truly delicious. The sake chosen for the pairing was also very enjoyable, I would recommend that. Overall, a great experience, 5 stars with no hesitation whatsoever.“
“'Twas a pleasant experience. Itamae DC made my experience a good one as this omakase dinner was one to remember with the unique and innovative courses that I have never had before.This was the first time I had potato chips on any of my omakase courses. Fish was fresh and exceptionally prepared. Atmosphere was different from other restaurants like this, but that is okay. Getting out of my comfort zone - that's our purpose of living, right?Itamae DC was down to earth and made conversation, which made me feel very welcomed during my dinner here. Prices are reasonable for experiences like this in the city.“
“Good vibe. Good sushi. Ordered crispy rice and edamame to start. Latter was just ok. Crispy rice wasn't what we expected but still good--a rice type cracker with heap of topping. For mains we got chirashi and sashimi deluxe The salmon was excellent as was one of the white fish. Other fish was ok but not mind blowing. Had the mushroom soup instead of miso and it had a stronger taste than I expected and killer hot. Beware of that. Unfiltered sake choice was good and sweet little sake glasses. We'll come back for sure with a revised order.“
“A couple of friends, who live in the vicinity, introduced us to Sushi 456, and it didn't take long for us to understand their enthusiasm for this place. The restaurant excels in numerous aspects. From the moment we walked in, the staff was not only welcoming but also promptly presented us with an appetizer, allowing us to ponder our choices. However, we were set on trying the Omakase. The pacing of the meal was impeccable, with just the right intervals between dishes for engaging conversations, yet we never felt pressured to hurry. The service was efficiently timed throughout our dining experience. Every piece of fish served was outstanding, reminiscent of the prestigious, old-school sushi bars on the west coast that have gained acclaim in NYC. However, what sets Sushi 456 apart is its affordability, which is surprisingly reasonable and inspired us to leave a generous tip. I was particularly impressed by the Toro and the hand rolls. It's been merely five days since our visit, and we're already planning our next trip there. I highly recommend giving it a try; you're sure to be delighted.“
“Excellent stop for traditional hot pot or sushi! For $40 we had unlimited sushi and hot pot selections. The servers were very helpful, and the quality of everything was excellent. I’ve had hot pot style meals in Japan and this was just as good!“
“I recently experienced the Taikun Omakase splendor in Miami. I Felt in love with it, but what impressed me the most is somehow they new I really enjoyed a Blueberry muffin and a glass of milk after dinner. So at the end of the experience they brought me 2 blueberry muffins and a glass of milk. First time "someone" did this out of the blue....Я.А“
“Food at Fushimi is excellent. Portions are more than enough. Price is very reasonable. Wait staff are outstanding. A shout out especially to Sara and her Thai colleague whose name I failed to get. Ambience is remarkable and memorable—in fact, instagrammable. Good for intimate and romantic dinner for 2 as much as for groups of 4, which we were, or 5, or 6. We'll definite go back and bring friends again.“
“This was such an amazing experience, truly. I have been to Nobu and I would choose Sushi 295 over it EVERY SINGLE TIME. The staff is amazing, the fish is amazing, I am so glad we stumbled upon it because it will be my husband and I's go to from here on out. Amazing staff, and amazing fish, WOW!!“
“First, the chefs let the fish speak for themselves- fresh, flavorful, inspired. Second, owner Eric and staff deliver personal attention- friendly, professional, elegance. Finally, atmosphere is intimate & friendly - whether you come alone, couple, or as a group, you’ll find friends and celebration - KANPAI!“

“One of the coolest dining experiences I've had in NYC. Walked in on a whim and had the place to myself for a while. Conversations with the staff were awesome. They take so much pride in their restaurant and also the local food scene in general. For the price you can't beat Fuku.“
“Words are not enough to describe this phenomenal experience. Took my girlfriend here and it was just the two of us, felt like we had a private reservation just to ourselves. Each piece was decadent, and the chef watched with a keen eye for our reactions to every bite, responding to our expressions of glee. Truly a master artisan of his craft, compliments to the chef!!!!“
“The quality and freshness of the fish was amazing. The chef is a master and the experience with him for lunch was almost mediative. This was a very no frills omakase experience, in terms of innovation or creativity or “vibes”. Just fresh good quality nigiri/ with options for uni/wagyu/caviar add ons. I did a sake pairing and the context/education/history that my server provided along with instructions regarding which bites to pair w/ was perfect and informative! Service was excellent and in sync and the chef timed things perfectly for everyone at the counter including giving us a heads up on starting our new pairing for a particular fish/waiting a moment or two for sake to be poured before serving. I knocked a star off bc the manager of the restaurant should get rid of counter chairs that require their staff to have to fully pull us out or tuck us in.. it’s too much work for them and just not great /though they did an amazing job.“
“Where is the 6th star?! No truly, this was the best omakase I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t even think of my favorite dish because they were all my favorites. Wow. I can’t wait to be back. Just don’t forget to reserve a table. No walk ins are allowed I believe. And there are very few seats, which makes the experience even more special.Oh, and they are BYOB!Dietary restrictions: accommodated my nut allergy“
“I’m on my business trip from Japan and looking ramen restaurant near my hotel in Soho, I found this restaurant! They have various Japanese menu like sushi, katsu don and of course ramen. I really like the Shio(Salty) Ramen with light chicken&salmon broth-they told this is their new lunch menu. Definitely will be back because would like to try other menus!“

“Went here for my friend’s birthday and everything was perfect! The crispy rice was the Best!! And the sea scallop was so delicious. Also the 2oz wagyu beef was yummy. And to finish a perfect meal we ended with a green tea crème brûlée which was really good. The staff was very attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Great service, food and atmosphere. Everything that we ordered tasted wonderful.“
“Came by for dinner with some friends to try out their omakase! The staff were friendly and the bar was neatly arranged with the chef in the middle. I believe they’re able to seat 12 at a time so we shared the space with another party. The chef was knowledgeable and helped explain each piece as it came out and I felt like the pacing was perfect! Every piece served had amazing flavor and seemed to get better as it progressed. In total there were 15 courses + a dessert which was their matcha and ultimately ended satisfied and happy! Would come back again to try again!“
“This was by far one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in quite a long time. My husband and I were in town unexpectedly and could greatly appreciate the care and great service we were shown at Lure by the professional staff. The ambiance was incredibly inviting and relaxing…just what we needed at this time. Chef Preston is amazing and one of the most humble and kind individuals. The time and attention he shows guests is amazing and very thoughtful! He’s turned me into a sushi eater. :-) Thank you Lure!“
“This place is an omakase lover's dream. Be prepared for a very Tokyo experience as it's in a bustling food court in Chinatown , but make no mistake chef Jiro is a master. We ordered the 14 course omakase and brought in a nice bottle of sake byo. He and his wife were amazing and te fish all flown in was exquisite. We have eaten all over the world and this omakase for 100$ ranked one of my favorites. You will not be dissapointed.“
“First time at Sushi Story - and it is amazing! I went in for lunch and asked the server for recommendations. After my ginger salad, she brought me Tuna Tataki, which was perfectly prepared and had a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t decide between Seared Salmon Sushi or the River Roll, so I ordered both. It was the best decision ever! The salmon was freshly prepared and melted in my mouth. The Spicy Tuna was delicious and had just a touch of kick, which complimented the richness of the fish. All dishes were fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous, by both the server and the chef, who checked on my satisfaction with the meal. The restaurant is small, with seven tables, and has a bustling take-out service. This is one place not to miss!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to all agesWheelchair accessibility: Small facility, but easy access for people with limited mobility.“
“"I've been to several omakase spots in the city and this one stands above all. Food, service, vibe is all 10/10. The price ($165) is a steal for the quality you get - they should raise their prices! Can't wait to come back soon"“
“Sushi by bou is easily my favorite dining experience in NY and NJ. The food quality is stellar, the staff is always so friendly and helpful, the music is great, and the restaurant itself is aesthetically calm and vibey. Great spot for a group of friends, date night, or even a solo treat yourself night. ?“
“Suram is one of my best kept secrets in Hudson Yards, but I'm no longer gatekeeping! Setting: Centered near the Hudson Yards Shops and the Vessel, Suram features a dimly lit ambiance with tones of black, silver, and gold. Service: Kind waitstaff and the food came out at an expected pace for a sushi/ramen spot. Food: I got the sake don (salmon bowl - $29) and the spicy avocado crunch roll ($10). Both were at a great value, especially for the location and the flavor. Can't wait to return!“
“I always say to people that I bring here that they serve flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. This place is a true experience. Atmosphere and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. They serve non-vegan and vegan items so it is a great place to go with a mixed dietary restriction group. They can even take care of Gluten Free people as well. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.Vegetarian options: They offer vegan options on their menuDietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“
“Food is delicious, greeting from the host station was non existent, server, Brian, was attentive and delivered hot food quickly.The pork chashu in the Tonkatsu ramen was not good (tough, off-putting flavor) despite having some of the best broth I've had.Vegetable gyoza were fantastic!Recommended.“
“EJ BBN has incredible reviews and deserves them. We were there for a Saturday dinner and surprised there was no line. Sushi is incredible. Chirashi was great and had more than the usual range of fish on it. Come try EJ BBQ Sushi when you get a chance!“
“one of the best dining experiences in nyc. huge shoutout to our server, Alejandro. we had a big group with very different preferences; he guided us through the menu and drinks, everyone was thrilled with what they got. outstanding service! can’t say enough about sushi and beer selection. just in awe!“
“It's so sharp and decadent to eat here.What an honor it is to eat here.To know it's candor, it's dark decour & shy Japanese origins.It's beautiful to eat here and I made a promise to return.The chef is so kind and a princely man to look observe.I thank him for appreciating me.I did not expect to eat that night but it was an honest blessing to have the taste of sushi in my mouth.It was delicious thank you for the pleasure of eating here.Arigato Gozaimashita!Syonara“
“My first omakase experience We got the Omakase $78/ per person and it was very delicious and filling! The chefs were excellent and friendly. Cozy and near indoor space. Fish was high quality and fresh. Melt in your mouth like butter. Definitely check it out! The highlighted ones were our favorites ?“
“The staff were extremely accommodating and super sweet. And omg the food was to die for. So fresh and portions were amazing and the hand rolls and crispy sushi were also really good. Please try it out if you’re looking for an amazing experience! The best sushi in town!“
“Ahh!! Forgot to ask the Japanese chef’s name, but Mr. Chef from Yokohama (near Tokyo) took a 12 course omakase order of mine. I have to say… the presentation and the flavor/taste of the food was amazing! The ambience of this sushi bar is modern and chic! I think they have about 20+ seats inside. I had a cherry yuzu drink, it’s a bottled sparking soda, it’s a local drink from Brooklyn and i liked its tartness flavor yet sweetness!Drinks were served in cute glasses, and the service was a 5 star ♥️♥️ I’d definitely comeback! Oh and the omakase was so filling! Yet miso soup with avocado in it was definitely a unique and a new experience to me…!“
“Overall really decent omakase.The food is well-prepared and there are a range of different kinds of fish protein in the omakase other than salmon and tuna.My friend was having a birthday and the restaurant was really nice to prepare a mini surprise for him!Regarding the drinks, it was a pity that plum wine was not an option here. Instead we got yuzu shu, which was pretty good as well.“
“We started with Edimame & Crab Rangoon Appetizers. My daughter had a "delicious Moso Soup". Our entrees included: ManhTtan Roll, Genki Roll, Two Roll Combo and Beef Fried Rice (see pics). We had beer (Adahi) and wine to drink. And closed out with a Mochi Ice Cream dessert. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt and very polite. The restaurant was very clean and had nice lighting, music and decor. It appears that these folks do A TON of take out business by tge way. Anyway, they checked all the boxes, food was great and proces were reasonable ($145 for 4 people w/appetizers, drinks, and a shared dessert). Would definitely recommend!“
“My go-to spot for sushi! This hidden gem in NA is a must-try. Once you walk in, you know the service is going to be amazing. Every time I place an order on the phone, I know the order is going to be perfect. Each order that I've placed has never been incorrect or unsatisfying.Walking in, you can see the sushi being freshly made with the good spirits of the staff. The ambiance is welcoming and makes you excited to enjoy the sushi. They have a great variety of rolls. I feel as though I am constantly trying new rolls with each other that I make her.If you haven't try! DEFF DO!“
