“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!“

“Wow!!! Family dinner of Chef Kevin Kim's omokase menu was by far the BEST we have ever experienced. Each and every piece created was a work of art with a burst of unique flavor from each and every mouthwatering morsel. It was like watching a master of magic and artistry at work as Chef Kim prepared each delicacy with expert care and creativity. To enhance our experience, Chef Kim entertained us not only during but after our omokase extravaganza with such warm-hearted hospitality and even created a special “birthday” hand roll for my sister. The manager also comp'd our mochi desserts which melted in our mouths. Hands down to Chef Kim and staff for gracing our family with a truly memorable and 4-star experience which is w shall never forget. In fact, we are already making plans to return in Dec to relive Chef Kim's Michelin star-worthy omokase and royal carpet treatment. From one very satisfied family, we are now loyal customers of Shumi!!!“

“My family has enjoyed Nakahara for several years and it’s always fantastic. The fish is very fresh, the atmosphere is clean and cozy with gentle jazz in the background and the service is attentive and friendly. There are many sushi options in the area, but this is one of a kind!“

“Excellent soups and delicious authentic Korean dishes. Friendly staff, but give them a chance to understand what you are asking for. English isn’t 100% but extremely kind. This place has been around since my teen days. I believe almost 20 plus year or so. If your open that long? You doing something right. Plus Korean celebrities come here to eat on the low key. Privacy is everything to them. Ive never seen them myself but I’ve seen americas popular news broadcaster. He retire now but eats here regularly“

“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.“

“I was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. The price for quality is certainly a great deal.

All of the fish tasted extremely fresh. Each course was unique and had its own spin. Our chef did an excellent job. The waitresses were also very attentive and thorough.

My one critique is that if you are sitting in the seats closer to the door, the music can be very loud. It was difficult to understand what our chef was saying most of the time.

Nonetheless, I certainly recommend coming here for a great prices Omakase in NYC.“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Hole in the wall sushi spot. It’s a small and cozy spot in the LES. The size allows you to enjoy the food and chefs on a personal level. I also genuinely have not had fresher fish than here, every piece was mind blowing, the fact that it’s only $68 for 12 pieces! I’m so impressed and I truly can’t recommend it enough. Better than any Michelin I’ve ever had! Also if you love uni like I do, it’s a must.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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?!“

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

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

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

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“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!!“

“I SWEAR THIS IS WORTH THE PRICE !! The attention is amazing, 2 chefs working right in front of you and food is ready sooo quick. The sushi is URGH amazing, super creative and everyone around me told me this had been their favourite omakase yet. NOTHING could have made this better, it was an amazing place, quality food and great chefs.“

“First off, let me tell you this service was EVERYTHING. They were so kind to still serve us with 100% 20 minutes till closing. Food was immaculate and the chef was the kindest person. Second time was better than the first. Chef Kevin’s “Chef Special” was spectacular. Our server Nara was just the sweetest thank you for the best experience ever. We will be back and we definitely will recommend to friends and family here and in texas“

“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!“

“Absolutely phenomenal. Where is their star? It was nothing short of a true Michelin experience! The quality of the fish was out of this world, flown in fresh from Japan, and every bite reflected that care and precision. The team crafted an unforgettable dining experience for every single guest, with flawless service and artistry at an incredible price point. Anyone in NYC I can’t recommend this place enough“

“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.“

“This was my first time trying omakase in New York, and I went alone — but the experience couldn’t have been better. From the beginning, the staff made sure to ask about any allergies or dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, and the service was incredibly attentive and kind without being overbearing. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully explained. I felt completely taken care of the whole time.
Also, I was honestly surprised by how reasonably priced the wine and sake were — definitely not what I expected in NYC.
Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a welcoming and high-quality omakase experience.“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Fuku Omakase was a decent experience overall. The courses were well-executed, the fish was fresh, and everything was generally good. However, a few details held the meal back from being truly memorable.

One issue we had was the rice. It was overcooked and too soft, which affected the texture and balance of the sushi. Additionally, the atmosphere was not as refined as expected. The background music was TOO loud, which seemed to encourage customers to raise their voices just to be heard. It made the space feel more chaotic than relaxing.

Fuku has potential, but a few adjustments—especially to the rice and the ambiance—would make a big difference.“

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

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“An incredible omakase experience! Every course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, with fresh flavors that flowed perfectly from start to finish. The chef’s creativity and attention to detail made the meal truly memorable. The atmosphere was intimate and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable omakase.“

“Sushi Nakazawa is an unforgettable experience. The sushi is flawless — fresh, delicate, and prepared with incredible skill and precision. Every piece feels like a work of art. The chefs are engaging and passionate, and the service is smooth and attentive without being overbearing. The space is elegant yet relaxed, making the whole meal feel special from start to finish. Truly one of the best sushi experiences in the city.“

“Went inside on a whim and so glad we did. The handrolls were incredible. The fish was great quality and creativity was next level. Our favorites were the xo scallop (must get), tuna poke, salmon serrano, aka ebi, toro scallion, and spicy lobster. Not as big of a fan of cooked/fried fish in sushi, but tried the coconut shrimp and spicy crab dynamite due to the many recommendations, and thought they were just okay. Also didn’t think the caviar starter was anything special.“

“Thirteen Water is an unforgettable dining experience and our go-to spot for special occasions. The chefs are incredibly attentive, and the menu is full of creative, one of a kind flavor combinations you can’t find anywhere else. Every course bursts with freshness and balance, showcasing top-quality ingredients prepared with care. The experience feels focused and intentional—you’re there to enjoy the food, not get distracted with extras. Service is quick, the atmosphere is comfortable, and every visit feels like a treat.“

“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.“

“An extraordinary omakase experience.“

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

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“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.“

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

“Sushi by Bou is the city’s best-kept secret.
The sushi is unbelievably fresh and expertly crafted, but the real highlight is the chef — a true master whose precision and artistry elevate every bite. An unforgettable omakase and an absolute hidden gem.“

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

“I came to TAKEDA after a friend mentioned they were serving ayu, the delicate and seasonal sweetfish of early summer. I'm so glad I listened—it was truly an exceptional dining experience.
Ayu was beautifully prepared both as sashimi and in a light, crispy fried preparation. Each showcased the subtle flavor of this rare fish perfectly. Other highlights included a clear soup with a crab meatball, which was refined, warming, and deeply flavorful. The seared bonito was outstanding—lightly smoked with just the right char, full of umami. The sushi courses were all elegant and balanced, with every piece showing thoughtful attention to harmony and texture. TAKEDA offers a quiet, focused experience where seasonal ingredients shine and every dish feels intentional. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“They have a few gluten free options on the sushi happy hour which is great!! They are not labelled on the menu though so you have to ask.

Not sure on their allergen protocols/selection in the kitchen for cross contamination.“

“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!
