50 Best Sushi Bars in New York

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Philip was amazing! So helpful and recommended a lot of things! Thank you so much for the experience Philip. The girl at the entrance can be more helpful and have better greeting. She looked at us as if we are not very welcomed and as if she judged us. If it was not from philip i would have put max 1 star. I wanted to leave due to her before even sitting.“

“Haven’t eaten this well since I was last actually in Japan late 2019 before you know what! Loved the Korean flavoured belly pork.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Excellent sushi!!!! Fresh fish. Amazing food.“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

“A hidden gem on the UWS! The lunch omakase is less than $40, and even the premium omakase is only around $60 including tip. Honestly, that’s cheaper than many regular restaurants in NYC, especially for omakase.

The sushi was great, the staff were super friendly, and the service was excellent. Amazing value for the price. Definitely coming back!“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“We had the Standard Dinner at Uka Omakase and it was such a fantastic experience! The meal included a delicious miso soup, 12 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, and dessert. Every bite was so thoughtfully crafted.

What really stood out to me were the unique flavor combinations and decadent toppings. The bluefin tuna with mushroom was incredible, and I especially loved the piece topped with miso yuzu. The chu toro with foie gras was rich and absolutely indulgent, while the piece topped with caviar added another delicious layer of flavor.

There were so many memorable pieces throughout the meal, and I loved that the nigiri went beyond traditional flavors with creative combinations that still allowed the quality of the fish to shine. Everything felt elevated, flavorful, and beautifully balanced.

Definitely a great omakase experience for anyone who loves sushi and enjoys trying creative, luxurious flavor combinations.“

“Excellent experience the food was amazing. The service was out of this world. It was impeccable.“

“Pros: Good spot, good food, good sushi selection for being a small space. Cons: Place was very busy when we went (6/13/21) and service was slow. Took 20 minutes to get dessert. Some of our plates and soy dishes were not well cleaned from previous use. Ordered and was charged for two dishes to go, but only one was actually packed. Overall 3 stars due to the cons we experienced, but hoping that was just catching them at a bad time.“

“This is absolutely our new sushi spot in NYC. Went for my boyfriend's birthday because my usual spot was closed on the day. Beginning to end this was a phenomenal experience worth SO much more than they charge. The spot is subtle and well decorated and feels like a secret no one else is in on. There's a lovely seating area when you arrive where you can order a drink before being seated for your dining at the sushi bar.

We had 4 people to one chef, and three wonderful women attending to absolutely every other thing. Received an excellent sake recommendation, and immediately started in on the 17 course omakase. Each piece was beautifully crafted right in front of us with delicacy and precision that felt like it was out of a film. Truly truly delicious, fresh pieces flown in from Japan and seasoned in unexpected but beautiful ways. We loved every second of it. The chef was even attentive enough to notice that my boyfriend was left-handed, so he angled the nigiri at the proper angle for him to pick up. The attention to detail of everything in this place was amazing.

Because it was my boyfriend's birthday, and the end of the omakase menu they made him a beautiful little sashimi don with a teddy bear candle in it. So cute and thoughtful!

For a long time I've been a Gari devotee, but I've been entirely converted. In addition to excellent quality sushi, this was a whole experience that felt intimate and authentically Japanese. To get that kind of experience for such an unbelievably reasonable price is not something I thought I'd ever experience in NY. So glad we found this place and we will definitely be back! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Great sushi, fun vibe!
Sushi YOLO was a great find. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were creative, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. It's a good spot for a night out with friends or a laid-back dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Since I don't know what you ordered or how your visit went, please change anything that doesn't match your experience. If you tell me the dishes you had, the rating you want to give, or the tone (short and casual, detailed, or critical), I can tailor it.“

“Fabulous, in every way. Kinoko was amazing, deluxe sushi plate included more sashimi than advertised, including rarities like snapper and 3 different grades of tuna. Reasonably priced saki and the matcha tiramisu was decadent with perfect lady fingers. One of the best sushi meals of my life.“

“The omakase was soo good. Definitely recommend the golden ducky“

“Such a fun omakase experience at KAKI! The meal started with a little fire show right in the appetizer, which made for a memorable opening. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare each piece at the counter, especially the lightly seared sushi. The warm lighting and cozy atmosphere made it a lovely spot for dinner with a friend. We had the 15-course omakase for $85 per person and really enjoyed the evening! 🍣🔥“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Such a good experience! The chefs were incredible at their jobs but also engaging and lively. The server made the evening really beautiful with his presence. They gave everyone a free shot on the house and we also got a mini cake for our celebration. The food was out of this world! So yummy and you do not feel hungry after.

We’ll be back!“

“Great spot ...............“

“To us, the best Omakase place in the city. Excellent quality, exceptional service and if you excellent price, especially during the week for lunch time. We have brought our friends, our family visiting us… we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here whenever we have had the opportunity to. Just a great place.“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.

Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Nice chef at 8 pm and 8/18/2026

Service was good. Eel fois gras was a standout dish!

For $88, the signature set was very reasonable. Except, the dessert was just mochi ice cream that tasted store bought. Which was a very weak ending to the night.“

“Sushi was amazing. My daughter is allergic to soy and our waiter was very helpful! Service was very good.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“I have been to Douska a number of times, and keep coming back for their exceptional hand rolls. Fish quality has always been excellent, and I especially love the snapper.“

“Everything served here was executed to perfection—truly next-level professionalism from the kitchen to the table. One thing’s for sure: they love their truffles! I honestly started wondering if they have a secret underground truffle farm in the back because the aroma and quantity were insane. 10/10 experience!“

“Simply superb. The fish and shellfish are pristine. The chefs are skilled and approachable. The servers are helpful and gracious. While not “inexpensive,” I believe it’s a value for what is delivered. I’ve been three times—just last night for the first time, I’m sorry to say, since COVID—and each time was exquisite. Beyond highly recommended. A treasure.“

“Awesome Delicious Sushi, I can’t believe how quick they prepared and delivered our food...“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience and the outstanding service truly made our last night in New York Unforgettable!
A very special thank you to our server, whose name we unfortunately forgot to ask. Our order was under my Husband's name, Shawn. our server was exceptional in every way, so kind, professional, patient, attentive, and genuinely helpful. His attention to detail, warm attitude, and excellent service made us feel welcomed and card for.
The host was also wonderful, keeping us informed and making us feel welcome even thought we arrived without reservation.

The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious. Our son loved his roasted chicken with rice too.
We also tried the crispy fried calamari, which was delicious and another highlight of our meal!
we also had hot sake and the cold plum sake which was amazing. really recommend it.

AMAZING FOOD AND AMAZING PEOPLE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“Best omakase I’ve ever had in my life and we’ve had omakase all over across the country!

We only did the 12 course and regretted not doing the 17. We came for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday and it was empty! Not many places open for lunch so I appreciated that they have lunch service. They also gave us some mochi for dessert to celebrate our honeymoon.

I’ll always recommend this spot and plan to visit every time I’m in New York.“

“Go here with your good friends before going out to a bar in the east village. The service was fast and kind. The beers were BIG!!! And yummy. Try the plum wine why don’cha. The food was good. There were lots of special types of rolls, low-key just go for anything that has avocado in it. The fried ice cream was unique and yummy, split between three people, it felt like I wanted more, which is a good feeling. Contrast between fried and ice cream and whipped cream was nice. The waiters were kind and they’ll get you in and out efficiently- happy and fed. Have fun! Live on!“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“I rented out this place for my birthday and it was the most fun experience. Not only is the sushi amazing and fresh, the service is amazing. They went above and beyond for my party and I’m so grateful. Tony and Steven are angels and will take care of anyone. It’s my favorite spot in the city!“

“Solid omakase experience, one of the top ones in the city for sure!

First, the rice is absolutely incredible, and elevates all the nigiri and rolls. Second, the usual stars of omakase, akami zuke, uni, anago, and tamago were perfectly executed, and a joy to eat. Apart from that, the sea scallop, shrimp, squid, snow crab, striped jack, and mackerel were also phenomenal!“

“The food was amazing! Although you have to order a lot to get full, it is worth every penny. Special thanks to Owner for offering me something extra—I really appreciate it! My stomach feels full, but not overwhelmed. The quality is amazing! They made my night.“

“We found this restaurant by accident, but I can see us making regular visits any time we come to NYC. Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and a great staff. My poke bowl was incredible, and my husband got the sushi bento box. We’ll be getting the large saki during our next visit. We ate our food too quickly before it occurred to me to take a photo!“

“I can’t even begin to explain how perfect everything was here. From the people to the food. It is everything you want in an omakase experience. And quite literally had one of best meals of our lives. We didn’t want it to end. We will be back, no doubt.“

“I had such a fun evening at Wegmans next door. Do not let the supermarket side entrance fool you, the vibe is sexy and welcoming. The staff was not only kind but attentive. My server was prompt and personable. Nick made my experience exceptional. The sushi was fresh. Do not skip the waygu taco! The lobster was perfectly cooked. The sweet potato was sweet and savory.
Sit at the chef counter for an authentic experience. You will not be disappointed!“

“Love this concept, the selection always hits and great sake options. This one seats less and used a bit more rice in each sashimi which I wasn’t a fan of because it took away from the fish. We asked the chef to lessen it which he did, but why the time it came to the AYCE portion it was back to the heavy amount of rice for that I just knock it a star. Otherwise, highly recommend this experience.“

“Our experience at Domo Omakase was exquisite and lives up to fine dining. Every piece was a work of art and incorporation of various flavors balanced to perfection. I highly recommend the Sumo Omakase for the full experience. Looking forward to our next dining adventure at Domo Omakase in November.“

“Fast-paced Omakase counter at lunch time, featuring lots of traditional edomae nigiri pieces made with good quality fish. While the shari had the perfect texture and temperature, it did come across as a touch too vinegary for some of the pieces. Some pieces also had maybe a bit too much of a wasabi and soy sauce zing, but overall the experience was very pleasant. Also loved the chawanmushi! Will be back!“
