“Sushi on Me is a party. I have been able to swing going twice in the last year and can say that the guys behind the counter are among the hardest working folks in the restaurant business anywhere in NY. It is loud, chaotic, and a lot of fun. I can't wait to go back for a third time.“
“Solid food and good ambiance. Good for a date or to catch up with friends.A friend and I got the tuna tartare, uni spaghetti, and broccolini to share since we weren’t too hungry. Each dish did not miss.Service was friendly but if I can be picky, I think the amount of times my water was filled was a little excessive and at times distracted me from conversations with my friend ??♀️“
“It is a small and unique fusion Japanese restaurant.LINGO BEEF PIE, it's beef pie. It's so delicious when eaten soaked with the bread we ordered together, and it's fantastic with a glass of wine.CRISPY CAULIFLOWER, white brucoli. The seasoning was a little bit of Kkanpunggi sauce with a hint of Japanese pickled ginger... Oh~??????I ordered HOKKAIDO MILK BREAD... I ordered this to eat with beef pie! So delicious potato bread??Everything was really delicious!andI ordered a special dessert that wasn't on the menu... Sour, refreshing and sweet, it cleanses your mouth properly...(My friend who went with me likes the Chinese style soup... but he said it's not delicious! Please note)If you like Japanese-French fusion, this is perfect??????“
“Maki Kosaka has a lot of great things going for it, but has a few misses that make me unable to rate it the full 5 stars. A great note to start: I was able to get a reservation here day-of on a Friday night for 2 people easily. When you walk in, it's a 2 section restaurant with a small bar/waiting area up front, and a huge space in the back with the counter wrapping around the center chef space. Honestly surprised me how nice it looked. I ordered the grab roll set. 5 pieces rolls for $38. Most add ons are about $8-10, unless you get something more premium. While the price point for the set wasn't super high, I did expect slightly larger rolls. It was barely larger than a nigiri, just with more rice, and often too much sauce. I will say: the seaweed wraps used here are probably the best I've had. The fish - I can't say the same. Almost every fish from the set lacked unctuousness, and it felt like they were trying to make up for a cheaper cut by adding fats like avocado and mayo. I also ordered the crab and ikura roll, and the seared scallop roll. The crab and ikura was good, but a bit heavy on the mayo, and the seared scallop was texturally nice, but missing sweetness from the scallop. Uni roll was an $18 add on, and while satisfying to have uni, I've definitely had better in nyc. I think fish could've been a bit less mashed, with less sauce to really taste the flavor and textural difference. Finally, a pro and a con: service was FAST. Maybe a little too fast. The chef was pre-preparing rolls on the side in whatever order he wanted, and immediately setting the next roll on our plates before we were even done chewing the previous roll. We were able avoid feeling rushed by just not eating the roll immediately, but still felt like we couldn't wait too long if we didn't want to affect the freshness of the piece. I wish he would have slowed down to check in with us, rather than run away and get started on the next orders immediately. At least the wait staff was incredibly welcoming and patient with me and my friends' slow ordering speed. Didn't feel rushed to get out at all. Overall, good, but not great.“
“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“Brought my girlfriend here to celebrate Valentine’s Day and her birthday as well. Not too familiar with omakase experiences but had absolutely nothing negative to say about the food. Fish tasted fresh and simple. Service was exceptional, warm and friendly. Immediately felt welcomed and at home. Also brought us a surprise birthday cake at the end.“
“Not a huge fan of their ramen. Got the classic tonkatsu ramen. The soup base has too strong of dashi flavor which overpowers the tonkatsu flavor. The charsu were super thinly sliced, lack depth and flavor. Not charred. I've been to hundreds of ramen joint both here in the states and Japan. This one is good but nothing to rave about.“
“Raku in SoHo dishes out some seriously tasty udon! I went for the Niku Udon, which came loaded with juicy beef chunks. Plus, they add intestines to the noodles – a unique touch! ? The beefy soup gave me serious Thai beef boat noodle vibes, and the udon noodles were perfectly chewy. A must-try if you're in the area! ?“
“Wow, what a night, with flavors that can barely be described. They are so perfectly crafted. The almond miso soup packs so much flavor. The skewers are delicate. But the star of the show is the mazemen. I'm not sure I've ever had a dish like this and not sure I'll have one again. Definitely add the egg to give this dish and edge you will tell everyone about. The staff also deserves a shout out as everyone is so pleasant, knowledgeable and they make it seem like they've all been working together forever.“
“The environment is very warm and comfortable, the ingredients are fresh, and the shrimp in the sashimi is so sweet and chewy—I love it so much! The owner is very enthusiastic, and both my friends and I absolutely love it! We will definitely come often.“
“Came here for a surprise birthday lunch. Menu: Shrimp head Shrimp Mushroom Fish with the bones (?) Snow Crab with Shiso Leaf Brussel Sprout with Seaweed(?) Scallop Snow pea & Baby Onion Flying fish Lotus Anago Tendon with miso Wasn't incredibly oily at the end of everything, I had a beer to go with my meal as a palette cleanser. Service was great, showed great attention to customers. Chefs were attentive, and notice when you want a good video shot at the whole frying process and try not to ruin your video. As a small extra birthday surprise, added a nice large strawberry with a mochi ice cream. Great experience, would love to try again someday.“
“Great spot for temaki. You can mix and match your order. I mixed some of the classic with the toro and red crab. The scallop one was particularly delicious. We started with the spicy tuna dip which was also great. Tried the nami nori salad, interesting flavors, wasn’t my favorite but definitely something different to try that you won’t find on another menu. Awesome lunch spot!“
“This was our third time dining at Blue Ribbon Sushi and the place never disappoints ! The food is always extremely fresh and perfectly prepared and the service is outstanding. The servers have an excellent knowledge of the menu and consistently give great recommendations of what to order. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“I was lucky to have found a table a couple of hours before the dinner started, I went alone and it was a great experience.Some of the combinations of flavours were very interesting, would recommend it.The courses paced quite well, I'd say just slightly too fast.Vegetarian options: Just don't come here if you're vegetarian, even if they offer something it'd be a waste of money.“
“We visited this restaurant travelling from Australia. I was skeptical about the 5 Star reviews. 5 Star is exactly what I am giving this restaurant! Fresh seafood, salmon from japan, delicate sushi, bento box and a fantastic value for money. ✅“
“Good upscale style vegan Asian fusion restaurant, although portions could be bigger. If you want a big satisfying meal I wouldn’t recommend coming here.I do highly recommend the Japanese sweet potato and sushi (can’t remember which roll). I wouldn’t normally order vegan sushi but this was surprisingly delicious even though there was no fish, so definitely worth it! We also had the Singapore noodles but that was just alright, very light and not much vegetables.“
“The best sushiman in NYC! . chance discovery. Spectacular to see him work with that precision, clean cuts, he looks like a surgeon. Everything delicious, surprising combination of flavors. An address to save and return to whenever we are in the Big “
“We celebrated our anniversary at this amazing place!At the beginning, I was impressed by the person at the front. She took our jackets and led us to our table. We even did not ask where the toilets were, because she provided us that information.Our server Kritwamorpan provided an amazing service! She explained the menu, was extremely friendly and made our evening! Probably, one of the best services that we've had!We ordered Toro Shoyu and Gindara Yuan as appetizers! They were delicious!Futo Maki were tasty, but I would not order them again. Because of their size. They were failing apart.As a main dish we chose Salmon Ikura Donabe. It was delicious! Which is the perfect size for 2 people. Our server Kritwamorpan brought it and did a small show of mixing everything together! She was so attentive that filled our plates again when we finished 1st time.As a dessert we took Panna Cotta. It was tasty and not a big portion.At the end of the dinner, we were so impressed when we got our celebration present! So lovely experience!This place is amazing!P.S. I was surprised that tips are starting with 18% for such top notch service! In comparison to other places, where staff is less attentive and they have bigger tips suggestions.“
“We had a great anniversary. We got the 12 piece + 2 hand roll omakase set for $53. The fish was super fresh and the whole meal was about 45min. There’s about 12-15 seats at the counter, so if you want to guarantee seating book a reservation. It was absolutely worth every “

“No question the highest quality sushi I’ve had in my life. Staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and nice. I like how the fish was served with minimal additions - meaning the focus was on the fish, not the toppings or sauces. I loved it. Definitely will eat there again.“
“This is probably our favorite bar in the area. The cocktails are always changing and always delicious. Lisa does a fantastic job and never misses a beat. Also don't sleep on the food. The spicy chicken and truffle fries are phenomenal. It can get crowded because it's so good so getting in early is best to get a good seat. That being said, the atmosphere is lively but chill. Highly recommend it.“
“Our friends and I spent "friendsgiving" here and we had an amazing time! It has always been on my list to visit in NYC and it did not disappoint! Reservation was fairly easy to secure as there are multiple locations to choose from. The ambiance, service and the quality of the food were all superb. I would definitely recommend this for a fun, no fuss dinner experience.“
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.“
“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!“
“Cool assortment of imported Japanese produce, and goods. Everything is fresh, as the market is often busy items are constantly getting restocked. The variety of restaurants are delicious, I love the soba stand. They also have some quick eats, and desserts“
“How good a chicken on a skewer can be? At Torien, it's a masterpiece. It's amazing how a simple grilled chicken can be so good. So flavorful and you get to discover all the different flavors and textures of a chicken. A tru mastery of grilling. Staffs are very kind and helpful. The skewers tend to be bigger than those in Japan, and I sometimes find it too much food towards the end of the meal. Yes it's pricey, but half as pricey as many omakase sushi places that aren't even good. I have tried many other Yakitori places in NY, I think the chef at Torien serves the best Yakitori.“
“Definitely a little expensive for what it is, but the quality and ambiance are certainly there. Wish there was slightly more variety in seasoning, but the chicken does really shine. Their iteration of an old fashioned is also unexpectedly good.“
“I just cannot get over how good the katsu is. The chicken katsu curry has to be my favorite in the city by far and has been since they opened. It's hard for me to find time to go here, but it's such a genuinely rewarding meal, and i'm happy to sacrifice the place being open daily for the love and time that seems to go into everything there, from the in-house food to the curation of snacks and drinks. The portion is absolutely enormous, bigger than any ive had anywhere here or abroad, and the quality is astonishing. It's just so good.Cool shirts too :)“
“An absolutely amazing experience. Every piece of sushi was meticulously prepared and so so delicious. Your mouth will go on a journey that will leave your taste buds unable to appreciate any other piece of sushi. This place is amazing and we'll definitely be back.“
“Really fun environment and the sushi bar experience is a ton of fun. The chefs are great to watch execute their craft, they’ll make friendly small talk, and the host is very accommodating and friendly. The impromptu trivia and group karaoke was a welcome surprise. The food was new, interesting, unique, and very tasty!“
“This tiny restaurant is reminiscent of an authentic Japanese eatery, from the decor, to the service and importantly the food. It offers a style of hot pot that is more like a stew. The pork belly broth is full of flavor. The bean sprouts and the cabbage gave the stew a nice crunch. A very hearty and filling meal. The service was outstanding. I will be back for sure.“
“Gave Sushi 35 West a visit in person and was amazed seeing the chefs preparing delivery orders in bulk! The place is hidden in a Deli/Smoke shop second floor walk up, there are three small folding tables with six chairs. The atmosphere is not really for a relaxed consumption of the delicious sushi, but ai did it anyway ;) The Sushi & Sashimi Box for $40 was delicious. Next time I go for the online order. Thanks!“
“Tasty izakaya place for dinner! Drinks were great, all very balanced flavors. We had a variety of hot and cold plates, which all came out very timely. Seafood dishes tasted fresh and the Beef Tongue Curry was delicious! Also had the Ebi Katsu which was 10/10. Dishes are good portions for sharing comfortably between 2/3 people.Funnily enough, didn’t get pictures of the yakitori, but definitely recommend the gizzards, hearts, or oyster—super tender, well-grilled, and seasoned.I think experience could definitely be shaped by what you order so it’s nice they have a nice variety of dishes to choose from.Dietary restrictions: They did ask about allergies after confirming our selections.“
“Only ordered a la carte (seems better value), so thoughts are based on that. Good quality skewers and variety of cuts/flavors - yuzu koshou, gizzard, etc. I would say that ambiance isn't great - can feel a little gimmicky with the separated sections and bamboo interior - but the food does a good job of fulfilling the craving for authentic yakitori.“
“An exquisite gem for a romantic rendezvous! The Omakase experience at this restaurant is nothing short of culinary poetry. Each dish, a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients. The intimate atmosphere and impeccable service make it an ideal choice for a memorable Valentine's Day celebration. They also have a great Sake selection including some hard to find bottles!! Tons of five-star reviews are well-deserved; it’s a true gift to the senses!“
“Gan Hoo BBQ offers a tantalizing taste of Korean BBQ delights. As soon as you enter, the savory aroma beckons you into a world of culinary bliss. The diverse selection of meats ensures there's something for everyone, and the interactive grilling experience adds a fun twist to the meal. With attentive service and flavorful side dishes, Gan Hoo BBQ is a must-visit destination for any BBQ enthusiast.“
“Love this place! The sushi is so fresh and tasty. And reasonably priced. Free green tea pudding with Yelp check in! The pudding is topped with a spoonful of sweetened red beans. A delicious dessert! My favorite is salmon and here, it's melt in your mouth fresh and yummy. My favorite dish here is the Salmon Lover. It's salmon four ways plus a side of kani salad with some roe on top. Thick generous portions of sashimi, also has sushi, salmon avocado roll, and a grilled salmon collar (when available, otherwise you get 2 pieces of salmon belly). This place is so good, in one week, I went 3 times and still not tired of it. Not crazy about the chicken kaarage. The pieces are too small so when fried, it becomes dry and loses its juicy tenderness. Tried some skewers. A tad on the dry side. I'd stick with the sushi. Though the skewers were very popular with the kids at the table. Service. Attentive. Tea constantly being refilled. Decor. It's a small place. Lots of wood decor. The space is narrow with seating to the left and right. In front, a few private mini booth rooms covered with a curtain, line the side of the restaurant. These can seat up to 4 people. There is also a small party room downstairs. In the back, you can sit in front of the sushi chefs if you like, at a high counter.“
“Excellent omakase for an excellent price. We had an amazing, friendly chef. The way he sliced the scallop was truly amazing, I had never seen anything like that and I’ve been to many omakase’s. Our waitress was lovely and the timing is the courses was perfect! We would definitely come again !“
“We had a great time for brunch and got the prefix. Service was great and pretty spacious. Open kitchen had decent ventilation but we still kind smelled smoky after. But the sky light provided really nice lighting and was cool to see food prep. We liked the scallops, calamari, katsu, and tres leche. Wagyu was overcooked and the chocolate tart was very bland, instead of cream some gelato would’ve been better. Tuna melt looked really good will have to try that next time.“
“The food here was absolutely delicious, the service was great, and the ambience was cool (including the music). I lived in Japan for a few years and really couldn't find good agedashi tofu anywhere - but the agedashi tofu here was so so good. I would go again just for the agedashi tofu. We also had the beef nabe, okonomiyaki, ddukboki, and yakisoba - all of the dishes were superb.“
“By far the best omakase experience I've had in NYC. I went with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and we do omakase a lot since it's our favorite. This place blew our mind — you have to do the bougie omakase at the counter — SO AMAZING. The ambiance, staff, quality of food and chef was truly outstanding and so affordable. I'll be a regular here and can't wait to be back soon.“
“My friends treated me and my wife to dinner here as an engagement present. We all had a wonderful time and thought the food was top notch. On top of the fresh fish and impeccable presentations, I really appreciated that Don was so accommodating to dietary restrictions. Many restaurants serving omakase are unwilling to make changes. I would absolutely come back again and recommend this to anyone.“
“Has such a yummy and pleasant omakase experience in Astoria on a week night, thanks to That Place. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated and clean. The host/server was so attentive and sweet during the entire 1.5hr experience - my water/tea was refilled almost automatically after every sip. Same is also included in the omakase pricing which is really nice for drinkers ! The chefs worked together and created really delicious pieces- every one was super yummy. Their matcha ice cream and cheesecake were also so good ! Overall, was such a great experience and will definitely be back again for a weeknight or weekend dinner.“
“Have come here a couple times for dinner. Both times, we tried different dishes that were both classic Japanese food and also some unique specials. The last time we went we sat in the back of the restaurant past the kitchen, which is quite crowded. There was a table of screaming children (standing on their chairs screaming), being really disruptive which affected our experience a bit. Food is top notch, and service is extremely friendly.“
“By far the best omekase/sushi we’ve had in the US. We just came back from Japan and this is hands down the most authentic Japanese restaurant we’ve been to. The fish was absolutely amazing, with the perfect amount of soy sauce/wasabi (real wasabi, not horseradish like some places). The fatty tuna was a particular highlight. The seating was typical Japanese style with an L shaped counter and you can see the sushi chefs preparing the food. We tried a few of their sakes, and they were all excellent. We came for my sister-in-law’s birthday and they gave us a free glass of a very good sake to celebrate. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the sushi chefs were fantastic. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this place is. We will be coming back, and recommending it to friends and family.“
“Absolutely my favorite place for sushi. When you order the omakase you aren't just served different cuts of fish you may be familiar with like bluefin tuna but rather get a series of carefully crafted pieces combining flavors you'd never expect. Whenever friends visit New York, I always suggest Sushi “
“If you love hand rolls you have to visit this place! Full many of different types of hand rolls that freshly made one by one.There are no tables only huge bar.They do serve soft drinks, beers and sake.To get there you will have to wait in line , they don’t take any reservations.They do have couple options to choose from, last time I ordered 5 for $29 and it was great choice. Fresh fish, warm rice and crispy nori. Will definitely Come back again and again.Felt a little bit rush after my 3rd rolls, chef was making them one by one but I didn’t have time to finish previous yet and new one was coming out to soon.“
“Came for a group dinner and had an amazing experience ✨ The service, atmosphere, food - everything was 10/10 immaculate! Definitely one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. We tried almost everything on the menu as a group but my favorites were the noodle dishes. Try the Jpop lychee seltzer too! Highly recommend and would definitely return for more ?“
“This is true Japan. Real Japan. A modest restaurant of the highest quality. A small space on a side street. This is authentic Japan.There are two tables and a counter - 12 seats total. The chefs are right there. The server too, all are soft spoken and focused on their craft. The food is... The food is... The food is so good. So, so good.The sashimi melted, balanced with the spicy thing. The mazeman incredible, full of umami and flavor. The ramen healed my soul :)Do me a favor if you go... Eat, enjoy and leave. Be efficient... Be respectful. Be Japanese. It's a small space, they're too nice to move you along, but c'mon, allow them to serve more people and make more money“
“The best word to describe this place is fusion. It combines Tibetan, Indian, Bhutanese, and Chinese flavors into delicious meals. The food has a great balance of all the best part of these cuisines.Try their Tibetan style cuisines like the Momo, the pork ribs, and the thin cut seasoned fries. Then try their Bhutanese ema datsi. Combine everything to create a unique sino-indo-Tibetan cuisine.10/10 would recommend.“
