50 Best Sushi Bars near Edgewater

“Healthy, delicious, peaceful gem—family-owned with heart and full of flavorful options.“

“Really great small place with all you can eat sushi for $32 per person. It even included some appetizers! The sushi was small but a great size when you’re doing all you can eat.

The only downside of this place is that it has a small parking lot you can only park in after 5 pm (which is when the restaurant is officially open for sit down so make sure you check timing) and they charge for WATER. Literally handed me a bottle of water for $2.

I understand soda charges but WATER? That’s a let down and they also do not tell you it’s not free water or not served in a glass. Everything is from a bottle or a can. Be aware of that!

Other than that the staff was attentive, it was easy to order and overall good food!“

“Food is always fresh and very well prepared. Staff is professional and courteous“

“I came here a friend and had 2 rolls (salmon and tuna), one sea urchin, and one wagyu single piece. All the food was incredible. Some of the best sushi I've had in my life. My friend had 2 vegetarian rolls, which both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys higher quality sushi, especially at lunch since they have some discounted rolls.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“If you love sushi and want a dining experience, I highly recommend trying Genki Omakase. They have two branches, both highly rated, and my husband and I had such an amazing dinner here.

It’s a 15-course omakase, where the chefs curate each dish for you and every single bite was exceptional. Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs expertly prepare everything right in front of you made the experience feel so immersive and special. The pacing and flow between each course was seamless and the service was impressively fast without ever feeling rushed.

They also have some standout à la carte options (especially the Kissing roll with wagyu, toro, caviar and foie gras). Absolutely unforgettable. My personal favorite from the omakase was the O’Toro topped with caviar and a delicate dusting of gold, but honestly, every bite was memorable.

They only seat a small number of guests, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. Such a beautiful dining experience from start to finish.“

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

“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!“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

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

“I’ve lived on the Upper West Side for four years now, and Sushi W hasn’t raised their lunch set prices once in all that time—a truly remarkable business practice.

Lately, they’ve also introduced a sake tasting and regional showcase series, offering complimentary sake and seasonal fish from specific regions.

Every visit to Sushi W is a delight; the experience never ceases to amaze me. A huge thank you to Yon-San for continuously delivering such an wonderful experience for us!“

“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.“

“Sushi Saikou offers a modern omakase experience focused on high-quality fish, creative pairings, and a more personal chef-driven atmosphere. The restaurant has a calm and intimate setting that works well for special occasions, date nights, or anyone looking for a more interactive sushi experience. The counter seating allows you to watch the chefs prepare each course while learning more about the ingredients and techniques behind each piece.

The omakase menu highlights carefully selected seafood, with courses that go beyond traditional sushi by incorporating unexpected flavors and combinations. At around $120/person, the standout creations include premium pieces like toro paired with caviar and truffle, as well as other specialty bites that add richness and texture to the experience. The fish quality is the foundation of the meal, with each piece served with attention to detail.

One of the strongest parts of Sushi Saikou is the hospitality. The chefs and staff create a welcoming environment rather than a purely formal tasting experience. Conversations at the counter make the meal feel more personal, and the explanations behind each course add another layer to the dinner.

The pacing is designed around a shorter omakase format, which makes it easier to fit into an evening, although those looking for a longer, slower tasting experience may want to consider the course options and any additional pieces. The portion sizes are refined and focused on quality over quantity.

Overall, Sushi Saikou delivers a polished omakase experience with excellent fish, creative dishes, and warm service. It is a strong choice for anyone looking for a memorable sushi dinner where the interaction with the chef is just as important as the food itself.“

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

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

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

“We were very lucky to have found Sushi YOLO after a last-minute decision to extend our evening in the city. It was an incredible experience all throughout: a homey vibe with great attention to detail from Chef and the entire team and, of course, delicious courses!

We plan to come back to Sushi YOLO when we are in the city again.“

“Best sushi we’ve ever had! Chicken gyoza was so good. Udon bowl was incredible. Spicy tuna, avocado roll and yellowtail scallion were top notch. Service was amazing. What a find for a meal prior to a concert at Terminal 5. Fantastic pricing as well! Highly recommend.“

“Had such a great experience at Zen Sushi Omakase. The entire 14-course omakase was paced perfectly, and you can really tell the chef adjusts the timing based on each table, which made the experience feel relaxed and thoughtful instead of rushed.

The progression of the meal was super well balanced. It started with lighter white fish like flounder and sea bream, then gradually moved into richer cuts like striped jack, isaki, and salmon before going full luxury mode with uni, caviar, wagyu, foie gras, otoro, and black truffle.

One of the most memorable bites was their layered wagyu + scallop + foie gras piece. Every layer added something different — rich wagyu fat, sweet scallop, then the creamy foie gras at the end. Definitely one of those “wow” bites you keep thinking about after dinner.

The wagyu toast with monkfish liver and caviar was also incredible. Crispy toast soaked with wagyu fat, creamy ankimo spread, and salty caviar on top created such a rich but balanced bite. It felt like a really fun NYC-style fusion omakase moment.

Another highlight was the lightly torched otoro with black truffle. The tuna completely melted in my mouth and the truffle aroma slowly opened up as you ate it.

I also loved the miso cod and caviar rice bowl at the end. The cod was buttery and smoky from the grill, the caviar added a perfect salty umami flavor, and the vinegared rice balanced everything surprisingly well. The uni on the side was super sweet and fresh with zero fishiness.

What really made the experience stand out was the atmosphere. The chef explained the fish and preparation throughout the meal, and the whole dinner felt interactive and fun rather than overly formal or intimidating like some traditional omakase spots.

For the price, this is honestly one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in NYC. Definitely a hidden gem in LES and somewhere I would happily come back to.“

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

“Kaki Sushi was phenomenal. The staff was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu and sake offerings. They struck that perfect balance of being attentive without being intrusive.
The sushi was outstanding: incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and inventive without feeling forced or gimmicky. Having eaten sushi all over the world, I don't say this lightly—Kaki ranks among the most memorable experiences I've had.
The absolute highlight was the deep-fried eggshell stuffed with tuna and other carefully selected ingredients. It was pure perfection—one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. Every course showcased exceptional technique, creativity, and restraint.
They also have a solid sake selection, but it's great that they offer BYOB as well, giving guests plenty of options.
In a city packed with great sushi restaurants, Kaki manages to stand out. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“A neighborhood gem! Very clean and well taken care of. Atmosphere is nice and welcoming. Not too noisy. I love their Sushi - ingredients are always fresh and they give a generous portion. Michi, the manager, is very kind!!

Updates: They just started serving Japanese Curry Rice! It was so tasty.“

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

“By far the best hand rolls, best miso soup, best wasabi - you name it. The atmosphere is elegant but approachable. Perfect for date night or a delicious lunch while in NYC. My favorite was the salmon avocado hand roll. I highly recommend stopping and taking a visit! 4 rolls plus a miso soup was around $45ish total“

“Great food very good service“

“Fantastic restaurant, the sushi is great quality, and deliciously prepared. Also a great happy hour menu! Prices are reasonable for NYC sushi, and they have something for everyone (if you don’t like sushi, there are other more meat forward options.) It was my second time there, and I hope to get back soon!“

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

“PHENOMENAL! I was a little leary of omakase in East Harlem and at the price point, but this place hits it out of the park. Very simple ambiance and decor but made up for by very charismatic service staff and professional cooks. Splurge on the premium omakase, it's worth it for the chutoro...nice and fatty. Will definitely give Sugarfish a run for their money and it's nice to see uptown. Meal can get a little rushed at times given the high turnover; however, the pace keeps it moving. Nice to see this quality food and experience uptown, and I will definitely be back.“

“Steve was a great sushi chef. He made sure of our preferences and gave us options for the replacement. The sushi and wagyu are SO fresh and delicious. Very reasonable price-wise. We loved it so much the first time we visited that we went back less than a week later!!“

“Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations and showcased the quality and care that goes into the food.

The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and professional without ever feeling intrusive. The staff made us feel welcome and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal.

The atmosphere was the finishing touch: clean, elegant, and relaxing, creating the perfect setting for a great dining experience. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the food, service, and ambiance are all exceptional, but this place delivered on every level. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“Very affordable, and Mary was amazing!! Our server pointed us in the right direction for sake/wine, even offering samples. Celebrated my 21st here, Sushi was amazing, Coursed out perfectly, and amazing hospitality. Will be coming back in the future.“

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

“14 course omakase for an hour“

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

“An amazing omakase dining experience at Shota. Premium ingredients and amazing taste. Each and every course was finely prepared and beautifully presented. Service was top notch throughout. Sake list was also impressive with massive selections of both common and rare sakes. Some rare ones were priced pretty steep.
This restaurant is a treasure on South Street in Brooklyn. Definitely recommended!“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“This is the best omakase experience we’ve ever had! The fish was so fresh and you can tell the chefs put a lot of thought behind the flavor of each piece. We came here for my boyfriends birthday and they truly made it a special experience. We couldn’t stop raving about how good it was and will absolutely be back. From the sushi to the service, everything was so amazing. I hope one day they offer takeout experiences because I can tell it would be amazing quality. Thank you!“

“I've been to a dozen omakase places across nyc and japan, and this is a standout gem. Chef takes a modern approach to sushi with his own style, but preserves the essence of sushi. The flavors are elegant, layered, and delicious.

Standouts include the black cod with black truffle, trout (smoked?), hokkaido scallop with hokkaido uni, fish with bottarga and foie gras, and all kinds of toro (tuna).“

“Best Omakase in NY.. have gone twice in the last year and the food, service, and atmosphere are unparalleled. It’s hard to share what an amazing spot this is because it’s so quaint and special. Oscar and Kenny the sushi chef and owner are one of a kind. This is my go to in manhattan. Value is unparalleled.“

“Always Craveable 🥂🍣🍞
A special Sunday brunch at the sushi counter where the entire experience was effortless. From the attentive service and finesse of the fresh sushi to the spectacular talent across the kitchen, the passion here makes the quality truly superb.

A highlight of the Mother’s Day brunch was the special Matcha French Toast—a beautiful treat for the palate and a total standout. The touches of Pommery bubbles and fresh flowers made the celebration feel truly memorable.

Happy 1st Anniversary! 🥂
Cheers to Oliver & the kitchen, Joseph, Nick & team for an incredible first year. The care that goes into every plate is unmistakable. In a city filled with endless options, the heart and creativity here are exactly what make this spot a true nabe gem.

Relish and enjoy the moment—navigating year one is a remarkable accomplishment. Keep inspiring everyone, because the best is yet to come.

Thanks for making our month & see you all soon! 🥂✨

—————Prior Review April 2026—————
10/10 All Around! 🥂✨

Unwinding with a little Friday sparkle and some indulgent nibbles… fabulous as always. The chu-toro tartare with truffle dashi & caviar is always a must-have—paired with Pommery bubbles.

Nick is such a fabulous host! He seamlessly accommodated a last-minute request to pair wines with the tasting menu and expertly guided our move from the bubbles to white wine, sake, and finishing with a perfect red, sharing great insights on each pour, which we all absolutely loved. He was so thoughtful and even provided small tastings for our non-drinking friend so she could experience the flavors!

The Chef’s Tasting Menu was exceptional again, with a great variety of sashimi and sushi. I also couldn’t resist adding some of my favorites: the uni sashimi, seared scallop with uni, and the seared toro—the latter has a fabulous new twist too.

Huge thanks to Nick, all the chefs and kitchen team, the bartender, and the staff for the usual incredible care!

See you all soon!

Prior Review - April 2026
Back at this neighborhood gem—as Nick so perfectly puts it, my little reprieve from the hustle & bustle of NYC. I just found out my review is still stuck in the OpenTable moderation queue since 3/22, so I’m resorting to Google Reviews! (Honestly, this platform is much more seamless and faster.)

During a hectic night, Joseph went above and beyond—from walking us through the tasting menu to ensuring the butter lettuce was paired with the chicken dish! Costas kept everything running smoothly.

The tasting menu is fabulous—kudos to Oliver and the kitchen for the elegant presentation on every dish. The broccolini with caramelized hazelnuts is a standout, with no leftovers to spare. Sitting at the sushi counter watching Andy meticulously craft a full sea bream was a surprise highlight, and Dong provided such amazing and skillful sushi preparation throughout the night. The add-ons for the Chu-toro tartare and seared toro with foie gras and uni are absolute must-haves every time—the uni is such high quality (AAA grade) and incredibly fresh.

Those thoughtful touches made our night the perfect start to the weekend.

Looking forward to the next visit!“

“On the Frequency of a Grain of Rice
We just had a lovely evening at Sushi Nakazawa in Los Angeles
You go in the way you go underwater. The door shuts on Robertson Boulevard and the ceiling rolls overhead in slow waves of concrete, blue and gold, and you sit looking up the way you look up from the bottom of a pool. My father was an architect. He said big ideas only happen under tall roofs. I thought of him the second I walked in, which does not usually happen to me over sushi. I paint, I make films and books, I cast bronze. I know what a poured surface costs. Somebody felt every wave of that ceiling. It is tasteful, not obvious, but the waves are there. You can almost taste the salt.
Behind the stone is Daisuke Nakazawa, Jiro’s old apprentice, the one who cooked the same egg two hundred times before it was good enough. I believe the story, because I have lived the other end of it. I lost twenty years of work to a fire once and started the counting over. The slow work is never about the egg. It is about the years, and what the years do to your hands.
The rice is the whole nomenclature here, the grain the old gods kept for the living. Warm as skin, every grain loose and standing alone, the vinegar so nuanced you feel it only as a ghost. I trust smell over memory, and that warm rice hit an old frequency in me I could not name.
We do the same thing with corn in Mexico, where the maize is an ancestor and a god. One seed, a whole cosmos. Both of them, for a minute, at the counter with me.
Then you eat, and silence. I do not know how they did it, but the volume is perfect. The room is alive and you can still have a conversation. Otoro like smoke. Eel soft as an offering. Each piece gone. Seven hundred years ago the monk Muqi painted six persimmons and then had the nerve to paint almost nothing else, and the nothing is the masterpiece. That is the grandfather of this food. Musashi said that from one thing you can know ten thousand. He could have meant a single piece of these beauties.
A place is only its people. Dean guards the biggest sake list in California like a shaman who knows he will convert you. Anthony works the floor like your night is the only thing that matters, and means it.
Alessandro, Vito, and Nakazawa spent years finding these exact humans, because you cannot fake grace, you find it one person at a time.
Every one of them is seriously warm. They are a little obsessed, the good kind. I know that obsession from the inside. I looked at them and saw my own people.
A confession. I go back further with this place than tonight, further than Los Angeles. My paintings hang on the walls of the private New York room. It started the way the best New York things do, with a bet nobody expected anyone to keep. Somebody kept it. I painted, the work went up, and a restaurant became a place with my own hand on its walls.
I came to New York young, out of Mexico, by way of London, with not much, and I learned there are three cities wearing the same disasters. One sells the postcards. Another the tacos and The other keeps you alive, through a kindness nobody photographs, the kind that wants nothing back. Alessandro and Nakazawa gave me that kindness and never took it back. Now they have carried it across the whole country to Los Angeles, and walking into this blue cave and finding it already there, waiting for me, made me feel welcomed again. It made me feel human. That, more than any single piece of fish, is the best part of being here now.
Do not wait. Figure out how to see that kindness, because it manifests in every morsel and every glass.
ありがとうございました

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“Tuna cutting ceremony was a thrill in all respects… great staff here !“

“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.“

“I thought I liked sushi before, I had no idea how much I loved authentic sushi until DomoDomo. The salmon tataki is delicious, the Spicy Tuna Cones are an absolute must (you’ll thank me) and the desserts are a fusion of tastes I haven’t before had but now must have again. Leo is the best server, these dishes were his idea. Thank you for an amazing night DomoDomo!“
