“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved our experience yesterday. The basic omakase was delicious at $38, no hidden charges, and staff were lovely. Only slightly minor quibble was everything seemed a bit rushed and a little less peaceful than other places I've been to, but fair enough at that price. I was also a bit surprised at the rudeness of a customer talking on her phone when the staff were trying to engage her. That's not the restaurant's fault but maybe worth having a sign about using phones less and being in the moment more?!“

“I highly recommend anyone reading this to come try! I wish I could give 10 stars. Make a resy. This was honestly one of the best dining omakase experiences!! But not only was the experience great, so was the food and drinks. Karina was very kind on explaining us the drink options, and finding us the perfect drink we would love. Her and the chef were also super kind on telling us every piece we were eating and where it was from. Alex was also such a great host. Always asking how everything was and also make great small talk, getting to know us. The food was such great quality also so it was well worth the omakase price. I also ordered their special which had Uni-Toro-Wagyu-HotateCaviar. It was DIVINE!!“

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

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

“Mikado sushi in Lexington Avenue is my favorite sushi spot for lunch! They have amazing specials including sushi rolls like Wagyu, spicy crab ans scallops! 4 rolls for $20! They also have hot food dishes. The prices are so great and what I love about this spot is the service. I highly recommend eating here. There is also a great selection of sake, cocktails and tea!“

“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.“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“We visited from out of town and chose this sushi spot based on its great reviews. The salmon crispy rice was amazing—we even wanted seconds! The shrimp and crab dumplings and Persian cucumber salad were both very good (though not as spicy as expected). My main dish, the spicy Maine lobster roll, was incredible, and the Tuna Toro hand roll was also excellent. However, the Bluefin Tuna Toro roll was disappointing—the mix with shishito peppers didn’t work and left an off taste.“

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

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“I had a really wonderful time here - and enjoyed the excellent food! I found the service to be extremely attentive, and all the staff very responsive to needs and the fact that I am pescatarian and requested one modification to the set omakase. I got the 15 course omakase with the sake pairing and all of the pieces were delightful! The fish was firm and fresh, and tasted great, and I loved the light hand the chef used for the sauces. I will definitely come back.“

“Recently tried the Las Vegas Sushi midweek lunch special. The Hwe-Dup-Bap was well made, with fresh ingredients, and served with miso soup. We will be returning.“

“Went to Choo Choo Train with five friends. Ordered Miso Salmon entree and it was delicious. Salmon was grilled perfectly, broccoli and carrots were cooked well and still crunchy, and mashed sweet potatoes were yummy. Cannot say enough about food and attentive service. Will return...no doubt!“

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

“The food is delicious, fresh, thoughtfully prepared, each bite a carefully matched fish with yuzu, or ginger, or pepper sauce. Pure, buttery, exquisite fish as fresh as you can imagine. It may feel like a short time to eat, but you have time to savor the fish. It's a casual space with easy interaction and opportunity to ask the chefs about their preparation. A perfect spot to eat before a show, with a clear time/schedule!“

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

“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.“

“Hunted for an omakase restaurant on our NYC vacation. This is the best meal I’ve had in my life. Not exaggerating. Watching Jiro’s intense focus and passion for his craft makes the experience all the better. I’ll be back any time I’m in NYC.“

“I absolutely love Anytime Kitchen in Fort Lee! From the vibe to the service and, of course, the food—it’s all excellent.
I’ve tried several dishes here: Uni Buckwheat Noodles, Old-Fashioned Fried Chicken, Clam sujebi (수제비) , Spicy Seafood Stew, Beef Tartare, and Sweet Potato Fries. The Uni Buckwheat Noodles taste luxurious—perfect if you want a refreshing, pasta-like dish. The Old-Fashioned Fried Chicken takes a little time to cook, but it’s totally worth the wait—they even cut it for you! The Handmade Dumpling Soup is so 얼큰 and flavorful you might find yourself reaching for a whole bottle of soju, and their soups always come in very generous portions. The Spicy Seafood Stew is huge and packed with fresh seafood—it’s definitely worth the price. Sweet potatoe fries and beef tartare is a good option for side dishes. We got a service I think the name was seafood avocado but that was def would be a great side dish when drinking wine.
The service is excellent too. I dropped my fork once, and someone immediately brought me a new one—attentive service like that really makes a difference.
The vibe of the restaurant strikes a perfect balance between elegance and casual comfort. It’s great for a casual date, a team outing, or just a relaxed night out.
I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Anytime Kitchen to my friends. This place is a hidden gem that hits all the right notes!

“I’m in from Miami for a week. My first night in I came in because of its reviews and distance from my hotel! All o can say is
EVERYTHING they cook and serve is 10/10✨✨. Fresh sushi and amazing flavor to all their foods.. today’s my 2ns time here. And will make it a must whenever back in NY. Amazing food guys!“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“I booked the full 23 seating for a birthday and it was a great experience. Great service, super accommodating and made sure everyone was having fun which I really appreciated

Well worth the $98 per person, sushi is surprisingly good quality. Totally recommend especially for birthdays!“

“Just saw an amazing Broadway show and came here not expecting anything and was blown away... all the sushi - ikura, uni, toro was so fresh and delicious. You have to try their pork & chive dumplings that the chef finishes off with this yellow, mild cheese sauce - its the best!“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

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

“This was our second visit to Noz Market. They never fail to impress and satisfy. The cuts of fish are large and wrap all the way around the rice. The nigiri are seasoned perfectly, skillfully and with precision. The chefs here truly practice the art of sushi. The two omakase options are reasonably priced, and you can add extra pieces at the end of the experience. My Japanese fiancée emphatically approves, which should tell you what you need to know about this restaurant. Not too difficult to make a reservation a few weeks ahead of time, but definitely make one in advance. We will most certainly return.“

“We celebrated a couple of Birthdays and Mother's Day here. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We came for brunch and pretty much had the place for ourselves. I had the Goda Harmony which consists of the Rock Shrimp, Miso Cod and Medley of vegetables. It was wonderful! 🤗 💕 Many of my party got the Chirashi, and they enjoyed their meal. Others chose the rolls. One ordered the Nyeumen - thin udon soup Bowl with shrimp Tempura. All very yummy!“

“Watami Sushi is one of those spots you might walk past without noticing, tucked away on a busy Manhattan street--but trust me, it's so worth checking out. The staff are incredibly friendly, which makes the whole experience feel super welcoming. And the food? Amazing. The sushi is fresh and flavorful, and their omakase is such a steal for the quality you're getting.“

“Great Omakase It will make you fell, that you are in Tokyo“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“This is hands-down our favorite sushi place! It’s an intimate, family-run gem where you can truly feel the love and care that goes into everything—from the food to the service. The sushi is always incredibly fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed.

Our kids love coming here too. The friendly staff always makes them feel special, and the free ice cream at the end is such a sweet treat they look forward to every time.

We’re so grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great sushi in a cozy, family-friendly setting!“

“We stopped into Omakase Shihou (also referred to as Omakase Shiro) for their lunch omakase, tucked away on the second floor of Tenzan, a Japanese restaurant. The intimate space, clad in light wood, sets the perfect tone for a relaxed and refined experience.

The lunch omakase is an incredible value at just $49, including an appetizer, nine pieces of sushi, miso soup, and dessert. We opted to elevate the experience with the $25 add-on, which featured an oyster shooter, A5 wagyu, and a toro hand roll. Each of us also enjoyed a glass of sake for $18. While the base omakase alone is a treat—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—the add-on is highly recommended.

Every piece of sushi was fresh, artfully prepared, and included a few delightful surprises. The ikura, which I don’t typically enjoy, was so exceptional I ordered an extra—truly a testament to the quality. No spoilers here—you’ll want to experience it for yourself.

The meal concluded with a comforting akamiso soup and a refreshing matcha mochi dessert topped with arare, a perfectly balanced finish to a memorable lunch. It was a wonderful prelude to an afternoon at The Met.

We’d absolutely return to Omakase Shiro—excellent service, serene ambiance, and exceptional food from start to finish.“

“Nicely executed omakase meal for a reasonable price. Tuna was out of this world. Scallops and ikura also well done. I ordered extra mackerel because it was so good. Rice was good quality and complemented the fish well. Loved the help guide for the sake choice.“

“A laid-back omakase spot in Long Island City offering incredible value. For $118, you get 18 courses with generous portions and sushi fishes were fresh and tender. On top of that, they served us complimentary sake, and the service was warm and attentive (they gave us a handwritten bday card too!). Overall, it’s a true bang-for-your-buck experience and a highly recommended choice for a night out in LIC!!“

“I ventured to this spot after a meeting for a solo lunch. I came on a weekday between lunch and dinner, so I was seated immediately. The hostess was extremely helpful & nice, she explained the ordering process very clearly. Seeing my dish slide down the conveyor belt was just a lot of fun and the wall of Anime figures near the bar is incredible. I love One Piece & Dragon Ball so it was definitely a nice touch.

Best:
The Yellowtail was so fresh! That and the Aburi Salmon Mayo were my favorite types of nigiri.
My favorite rolls were definitely Volcano & Yummy 😋

Pass:
Chicken Karage, while cooked perfectly, it was very dry and the coating was not the best.
Also I'd stay away from the hand rolls. The rice makes up 75% of the filling.

Lastly please note sashimi does not appear on the ayce menu, so just keep that in mind if you're not looking to consume too many carbs.“

“Some of the best sushi in Manhattan Period.“

“The food here was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was lovely. Our server was incredibly kind and welcoming; truly one of the best dining experiences in terms of service.

However, our meal was disrupted by a group of unaccompanied children who were very loud, constantly changing the restaurant’s music, and playing with the volume to the point it was hard to hold a conversation. One even mentioned their dad owns the building. Another diner actually asked if they were ours because it was that disruptive.

I really hope the owner addresses this, because it’s not fair to the staff or the guests if the children are being truthful about coming three times a week being this disruptive. Otherwise, this place is wonderful and I’d absolutely return when I’m back in the area.“

“Great food & service despite how busy it was!“

“My absolute favorite place in New York. Right across the Madison Square Park, this place has rhe most sumptuous food.
The Bone marrow, fried rice, edamame, sushi, the chops and the steak were outstanding.

The server Laveena was also really helpful.

The sushi in particular was superb. Especially the crispy rice one.

We went here about thrice. Totally worth it.“

“We highly recommend ICCA Sushi, always fresh, delicious and worth every cent. This is a BYOB restaurant if you’re interested in eating in. I usually pick up. In the past during COVID they use to deliver. I am not sure if they do now. Absolutely, incredible! You can go for lunch and dinner if you want!“

“KaMe Sushi hit the spot. 🍣 Food was fresh, sushi pieces were solid, and the vibe was chill. Morea was my waiter and she crushed it—super cool, on top of everything, and made the whole experience easy. Good sushi + good service = I’ll be back for sure.“

“Good food and cheaper. Very nice staff“

“I had a wonderful experience at 34th and 8th avenue location. Bam did an amazing job putting my order together. He was very pleasant and assisted me with my selections. I was very happy with the service that I received and will come again soon. Thank you

Vegetarian options: Lots of different vegetables, Tofu, salad, rice and noodles“

“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!“

“Honestly this is some of the best sushi I’ve had. Very friendly, accommodating, and good service. But it’s the fish. Fresh, creative, delicious. We’ll be back again, and again.“

“Amazing experience at Sushi Yasuda! My chef Moriyama from Kagoshima prefecture was perfect, a typical Kyushu man with a great personality and spectacular at serving up delicious sushi. My server Tsuzumi from Okinawa prefecure was also very attentive and did a fantastic job making sure we had everything that we needed. The whole team was amazing, I’ve eaten sushi in every corner of the world, including Japan, and I can safely say that Sushi Yasuda is up there with the best! Thank you again.“

“We just celebrated a special occasion at Sushi By Sea and it was outstanding. They made planning the event easy (even recommending a mixologist, drivers and someone who could make a cake). The service was incredibly attentive without being in any way intrusive. But the food and the Chef's presentation and description were the real stars of the show. The evening completely met and even exceeded our expectations and did not disappoint in any way. We will absolutely be back.“
