Excellent food with quick service and good presentation! We came on a busy evening with the small interior fully booked. Wait staff quickly accommodated us and set up a table outdoors. Primarily, the food was delicious and filling at a very good price point - upscale quality and an excellent experience overall :)

Not worth it. Expensive for an ok sushi, and service was lacking.Spent $30 for a special roll and one single sushi piece, both were just ok.Not coming back and I don't think it should be rated 4.5 stars.

I didn’t tell the server if I was doing takeout or staying. So they assume I was doing takeout. When I got my order in a takeout container I told the server I didn’t ask for takeout and she started yelling at me and the whole restaurant got quiet. It was embarrassing.

REALLY good sushi and an even better lunch special. You get 2 rolls for $12.95 and 10 pieces of sashimi for $15 plus miso soup. Super quick service and the place is really cute inside. It's a really small spot but we were able to get seated right away, although, we did go at 2:30 on a Wednesday. Highly recommend this spot!

WE LOVE SUSHI! Sadly I have to give a 1star review. It may have been an off day- Friday, 2pm, Feb 23, 2024. Try for yourself- maybe things will become better after I write this. This teeny tiny hole in the wall, enchanted us and charmed us to come in. It can seat about 10 people. We thought we were lucky to find such a place. There were two other couples inside, so we felt safe going in. One couple seemed like regulars... It seemed like they sat there all day, talking about business and drinking tea. It's a quirky seating situation - with benches pressed smack against the wall - bring your good posture! Haha! Stacked dishes and odds n ends occupy one table so that leaves few choices to pick from. The waitress was NY style - not rude, but also not friendly. She seemed too busy for us. Didn't like to be bothered with questions. The sad part is, a few hours later, we all went to Times Square for a show... and my daughter got sick and threw up everywhere from the sushi. It's all she had eaten all day. Our last meal the night before was at 6pm. It was positively the sushi. She threw up all over her new Ugg boots, her dress. She was on her hands and knees in her stockings, in Times Square throwing up! Poor girl. It was the most embarrassing moment ever for her. We were really lucky that a lot of people rushed to help her. She had to skip the show, (there goes mom's money... that would be me!) I put her in a cab with a plastic bag to try to make it home without throwing up. She threw up all night long in our hotel room. It was miserable.? We were supposed to fly out the next morning, but I was nervous that she wouldn't be able to. (There goes more money!!) After she got all the sushi out of her, she felt fine, just tired from having been up all night throwing up. We made it back home to Washington. It was a good reminder to pick your sushi place very very carefully. Maybe coming at an odd hour, 2 PM, going to a very small place, wasn't the best idea for us. I ate the Hamachi and was just fine. My girlfriend ate the California roll and tuna roll and was also just fine. My daughter ate the eel and the prawns tempura and got really sick. Maybe it was the oil??? I would never want to blame a restaurant, for something that I didn't believe was true. My daughter hadn't eaten anything else... not even breakfast, and got sick three hours after eating here. I didn't take more pictures... but this is my daughter and my friend.

A great local spot! Food is always delicious and not too expensive. Great lunch special. Great service- Sandy is the best! One of my go-to spots for an incredible meal for about 3 years.
Obsessed with Umami. Been going for years. The fish is so fresh and delicious. This place is New Yorks best kept

The food was okayyyy for the price you pay but after I paid the waiter threw the tip that I gave him after me. In my opinion I gave enough tip so I was in complete shock! So either you give a lot of tip or don’t go there!
