“I've been here in person or ordered many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The food is always good.

If you go in person, the waitress is always super nice! We went in person today and love the pork and chicken katsu plates we got. Large portions and the miso soup and salad were very tasty.“

“I always have such a great experience every time I visit this spot. The staff is consistently sweet, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They make you feel valued from the moment you walk in. Their service is always quick, friendly, and thoughtful, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is just right.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“This is such a cute place and the food was delicious! I came here for dinner with a friend and I got the Crispy and Spicy Sesame Chicken Donburi which was divine. The decor inside is super cute and cozy plus the service is excellent — they were so welcoming and efficient. Didn’t try the ramen this time but my friend did and it looked amazing. I will absolutely be coming back so maybe next time! Anyways, definitely recommend if you’re in the area“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

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

“Great sushi, fun vibe!
Sushi YOLO was a great find. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were creative, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. It's a good spot for a night out with friends or a laid-back dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Since I don't know what you ordered or how your visit went, please change anything that doesn't match your experience. If you tell me the dishes you had, the rating you want to give, or the tone (short and casual, detailed, or critical), I can tailor it.“

“Ramen is good ! Soup is good not so oily Yakitori good with Asahi Beeru !“

“Had a great 19-course omakase experience at Makoto in Chelsea. It felt highly authentic, and the seasonal fish was incredibly fresh. The Hokkaido crab, scallop and uni were the highlights for me. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great omakase experience.“

“We went to Shogun Omakase in New York yesterday for lunch. My son loves sushi and it was his birthday present (our first time experiencing Omakase). We were blown away! Seriously the best sushi experience (and to be honest, one of our top restaurant experiences) ever. Chef Ryan was an amazing chef and artist, and provided top notch customer service. We highly recommend Chef Ryan and Shogun Omakase to anyone who loves sushi and appreciates fine cuisine. ❤️🎉“

“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!“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.

Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Had an absolutely amazing dining experience. From start to finish, Jojo gave us the best service and attention. The food was not only delicious, but of the highest quality. Ryan was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive. All of the servers who attended to us were kind and detailed in their explanations of the dishes. It was truly a night to remember and now one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!!!!“

“thanks for the fab service Rei!! amazing drinks and food“

“Our 1st omakaze experience & def not the last! I love the smallness of the place, it makes it special! Everything melts in your mouth! The best Christmas gift ever!“

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

“One of the best Japanese restaurants at 9 Ave.
I was sitting at the bar with my friend. Love the food so tasty and fresh. Gerry so funny, friendly, hype everyone up. Their cocktails are amazing too. Trust me Just try everything!!!!!!!!“

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

“Fast-paced Omakase counter at lunch time, featuring lots of traditional edomae nigiri pieces made with good quality fish. While the shari had the perfect texture and temperature, it did come across as a touch too vinegary for some of the pieces. Some pieces also had maybe a bit too much of a wasabi and soy sauce zing, but overall the experience was very pleasant. Also loved the chawanmushi! Will be back!“

“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.“

“Our daughter took us here while we were visiting NY for her graduation for Wagyu Shabu. I normally don't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one.
For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu.
The place is clean and nice.
For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced.
We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it.
Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things.
The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it.
The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow.
The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty.
The vegetables are fresh and clean.
After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy.
I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like.
This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy.
So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.“

“My husband has been wanting to go to an Omakase for a while now, so we came in for his birthday. Our chef Frankie was EXCEPTIONAL. So kind, made lovely conversation with us while also making absolutely incredible dishes. All 15 were absolutely wonder. From start to finish we were so well taken care of by both our chef and waitress. I highly recommend! Well worth the price.“

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

“A hidden gem on the UWS! The lunch omakase is less than $40, and even the premium omakase is only around $60 including tip. Honestly, that’s cheaper than many regular restaurants in NYC, especially for omakase.

The sushi was great, the staff were super friendly, and the service was excellent. Amazing value for the price. Definitely coming back!“

“I love this place, I’ve been coming to suki since they were located on 2nd ave and then moved to st.marks.
I just don’t understand why they keep closing?! The food is amazing and all I want is to come back and eat here. Can you guys just stay open?! For once?!“

“We hadn't been to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare in a while, and the staff remembered what we ordered last time. That tells you about the level of service and the management behind it, not just the food.

Marc and Max are cooking at a level that earns every star — fifteen courses and the execution never slipped once. The Hokkaido uni with king crab and geoduck was my favorite bite of the night. And the dessert was to die for — not one but two, the tropical refresher and then the Fujisan bread with soy caramel and Japanese whiskey. Leave some room. This is what a Michelin restaurant is supposed to feel like.“

“Omakase 95 is absolutely incredible! I can’t believe we waited this long to try it.

We both did the 15-course menu, which was 100% the right choice. I’d also highly recommend sitting at the counter. Watching everything being prepared right in front of you is part of the experience and really gives you a bird's eye view of the magic and art that goes into each course.

There wasn’t a weak dish in the entire meal. Tbh, when I saw that the menu started with two appetizer courses, I wondered if they might feel a little like filler before the main events. Not even close. They ended up being some of my favorite dishes of the night.

Everything was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and perfectly seasoned. We also tried the Nigori sake which we loved. The staff were also warm and friendly.

And the value for the quality of the food and the overall vibe is honestly hard to beat. We left already talking about when we could come back. This is absolutely going into our regular rotation.Don’t sleep on this place!“

“Fresh food, good portion I had Kaizen don, sashimi on rice it’s fresh and refreshing. I recommend a calpico lemon drink it is so good with food“

“I loved this restaurant! It has a calm and pleasant atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the meats have an exquisite flavor. The dessert was amazing, and the prices are excellent. I will definitely be back soon! Plus, the service from the staff was outstanding.“

“Love this place! Excellent service, great food, wonderful environment! I’m going back. Love the moctels!!!!Great experience!“

“service and atmosphere was really good! went for lunch and ordered a couple of rolls. Over all was really good. The crispy tuna & the dynamite rolls were my favorite. Great for a quick lunch with friends or coworkers.

they also have a pretty great lunch menu which we didn’t order from but was definitely a good deal. everyone was getting it, we just wanted something else more specific. i do recommend going there for their weekday lunch deal“

“went for our anniversary and it was a lovely atmosphere, great jazz at perfect volume, and wonderful attentive service! they were also very mindful of allergens and have clearly labelled menu options for dietary restrictions. plus a receipt-print kind of photo station! very cute and cool ambiance and experience! loved it“

“Average quality sushi at low prices

Diners like this sushi restaurant's fresh and delicious sushi, with many highlighting the generous portions and excellent happy hour deals. They also mention the reasonable prices and the clean, cozy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the friendly, fast, and attentive service.“

“Wow this place is GOOD and I’m almost mad it’s taken me so long to come here. Ordered their classic Berkshire pork katsu which was very good, maybe slightly tough tbh. But flavor was excellent. But the real kicker was my chicken katsu - I ordered the 47th Street set which comes with a prawn tempura and shrimp croquette and omggg all of it was insane. The chicken katsu was so tender! The prawn tempura was SO crispy and delicious! The shrimp croquette was basically guilty food personified, just an amazing fry but very soft and shrimpy inside. I’m definitely not selling this well enough.

ALSO random but the pork vegetable miso soup that comes as a side is insanely good and hearty and comforting - I actually purchased two more containers of it to go lol.

Service was efficient, food came quickly. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Wow. This place is incredible! The portions are very good for the price. Awesome presentation. Fast service. Tasty… SUPER tasty. A+ all around.“

“THE BEST BIRTHDAY DINNER WE’VE EVER HAD !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🇮🇩🇺🇸👍“

“I came for lunch whenever I could and everything is so so so good, I adored the Chicken wings (the best I’ve ever had in the city), and the first time I tried Beef Yaki Noodles (changed my life), the miso soup and chicken teriyaki were also so good. The prices are very fair and everything I had was delicious!!“

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

“The service was 10/10! The sweetest persons ever, so kind and welcoming.💗 My mango pineapple slush was absolutely delicious and so refreshing! Everything was amazing, and the experience was even better because of the wonderful service. Definitely recommend!“

“Juban is my favorite restaurant in New York City, and I've been saying it for months. The food is exquisite. Every dish lands with a precision you rarely find, and nothing on the table feels like filler. The ambience is warm and effortless, the kind of room you don't want to leave, and the bar is genuinely unreal. What sets Juban apart is the staff. They are attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without pretense, and they make every visit feel personal. Service like this is Michelin level, and honestly the food is too. If you haven't been, go. Then go back“

“Beyond incredible! Our first time here and It was such an experience. Every bite was amazing, the service was fantastic, and the chefs were so kind and truly took pride in their craft. Can’t wait to come back! What a special night, and the best omakase experience we’ve ever had. Thank you for taking care of us!“

“Just passing by and purchased two Onigiri (prim and salmon). They’re very delicious and will come back for sure. The quality of steamed white rice is excellent!“

“It is a good omakase and not expensive which is a huge benefit. If you want to bring your friend or family to an omakase and don’t want to bleed money, go there, the food is good, the service is perfect and the ambiance is calm and chill!“

“The best sushi I’ve ever had in my life! Every piece was made with so much care and attention to detail, and the quality of the fish was truly unmatched. Great prices, a beautiful atmosphere, and an incredibly attentive staff throughout the entire meal. I can’t wait to come back!“

“This is my second time dining at this fabulous midtown omakase spot. The 19 course counter menu is my go-to and everything is delicious. You start with about 6 appetizers, followed by nigiri, a few hand rolls, soup and dessert. Every dish was creative and so flavorful. A few of the appetizers and the nigiri were my favorite, but none of the courses were just "meh" to me which can be rare even at a good omakase spot. The sushi chefs are friendly, explain every dish and would love to chat sushi if you have any questions (or just want to chat generally). Service was great as well. I will be back again soon!“

“Don’t judge a book by its cover for this one. The outside looks like a dark bar, and a dive bar inside. Don’t be deterred. The food is exceptional and beautifully presented. We ordered a tuna tartare, which came in a tower shape, and the oysters were top quality. The toasted striped bass was also awesome. Food is ordered by using a QR code that’s on the table top. Very reasonably priced relative to the quality. Check it out!“

“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.“
