Had a great time here, ordered the chirashi and it was so delicious and a large portion, a total steal. Sat and the bar and had a great conversation with Matt, he’s the best! Will definitely be back!

I rarely write negative reviews but the service here is so horrible. About 2 years ago, we had a bad experience at this restaurant. We were waiting over an hour for our sushi rolls to come out. The waitress asked us if we wanted the check. We explained that our rolls still hadn't come out. She rushed off without saying anything. We waited again until she returned with sushi rolls that we didn't order. We told her that wasn't our order, and she said the kitchen was busy. She asked if we could just eat those rolls because they didn't have time to make ours. We were only given 1 glass of wine free for this horrible experience.

We avoided this restaurant after our last time but decided to give it another try. Sadly, the service has not improved at all. We waited over an hour for sushi rolls during our lunch visit. We told the waiter we had to get back to work and he rudely told us the kitchen was busy. No apology or even empathy for our situation. When the food finally arrived, the waiter took it upon himself to box up our rolls which we never asked him to do. Since we walked to the restaurant and we were hungry, we didn't want to carry the rolls back in the heat. As we were leaving the restaurant, we heard the staff loudly complaining about us and how we didn't even take our rolls to go after they went to all the trouble to have them boxed up.

We will never again visit this restaurant given the poor service and the rude wait staff. We have never been treated like this before.

I love its sushi and chicken. The chicken was so big that when the sushi came out I couldn't finish it. I would recommend it.

Food is good but overpriced and slow. It took over an hour to get a few rolls for two people.

Great sushi and atmosphere with waiters and chefs working hard to make your experience the best it can be. Great tables for a relaxing meal and sushi bar for getting food quick. Very beautiful food and great tasting as well.

This is my go-to spot for sushi in the city. While there are several more premium options for sushi, they come with premium price tags. None of them hold a candle to Origami in terms of value. The menu here is extensive, so it will be easy to find something for everyone in your party. The rolls are pretty standard, but all are good. Their nigiri in particular stands out for being excellent yet being almost half the price of some of the other more hyped sushi locations in the city. Their cocktails are great as well.

Seafood Nabeyaki Udon is excellent. Caviar Scallops only "so so." Russian waitress Elena is quite nice, lovely. I thought she was German but I was wrong. Lol!

This is the best Sushi in town, I can't even tell you how amazing this place is. A friend took me here for dinner a while back and I was just blown away. Carter was our server, he is too good, very attentive and proffesional. I will definetly be back.
