“A hidden gem! We stumbled upon this place on a walk and decided to grab a bite. We didn’t have a reservation but was quickly seated with a full bar of other diners for the lunch omakase. Great service, yummy food, and unbeatable pricing. This was such a treat! I will make sure to come back when we are in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“TSUMO – UWS was an absolute blast.
We went as a group of six and had such a fun, high‑energy experience from start to finish. The vibe is lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff clearly loves what they do, which makes a huge difference.

The omakase was AMAZING, especially for the price. Every piece felt thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Starting with the 13 initial pieces was perfect, and we loved being able to add more afterward. It made the whole experience feel flexible and indulgent without pressure.

Great food, great energy, and a format that works perfectly for a group night out. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend. 🍣✨“

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

“We absolutely love Kura Revolving Sushi Bar! Every visit has been an incredible experience. The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. So far, we’ve never had to wait in line, which makes the experience even better.

If you’re looking for something specific, the special orders come out within just a few minutes, which is incredibly convenient. Nicole, our server, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable.

The restaurant is also very modern and fun, with electronic ordering and even robotic food delivery, which adds a unique touch to the dining experience! 🤩

If you’re a sushi lover, we highly recommend Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Tsubomi is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants I have visited in New York. The restaurant is run by Chef Genta and his wife, Beth, and their warm hospitality makes every guest feel at home.

Chef Genta trained extensively in traditional kaiseki cuisine in several cities across Japan and also perfected his sushi craftsmanship at the renowned Ginza Kyubey, one of Japan’s most respected sushi restaurants.

What makes Tsubomi special is that you can enjoy truly high quality sushi and traditional Japanese foods in a cozy and charming setting without the intimidating formality often associated with fine dining. Their lunch menu is especially affordable, and every dish is prepared with exceptional care and technique.

If you are looking for genuine Japanese foods and expertly crafted sushi, I highly recommend Tsubomi. It is a restaurant I will happily return to again and again.“

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

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

mikado, you’re fortunate to have both fany and phyo on your side

“Great spot ...............“

“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.“

“Server Xin from Sushi Gama has set a high standard for restaurants in the East Side area! Our server, Xin, was the best part of our experience. Xin displayed wonderful customer service and is by far the best server we've ever encountered. A big shout-out to Xin! He was a wonderful waiter because he provided amazing service and was very attentive. He kept changing out any dirty plates without us even having to ask. We would definitely come back for him!“

“Many people seem to enjoy this place, and there is a good variety of food and drinks. The food was generally quite good, except for the jjimdak (steamed chicken). It looked amazing in the menu photos, but it arrived undercooked and had to be cooked longer at our table, which took quite a while. When it was done. it was also a bit spicier than we expected as well
The restaurant was very busy on a Friday night, with people waiting for tables. Because of that, it felt like there was some pressure to finish and leave rather than relax and stay for a long conversation. In that sense, it felt more like a traditional Korean restaurant than a bar where you can sit with friends and talk for hours. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the dining experience felt a bit rushed.“

“I've been a regular here for a while! They have really great sushi, and it's also very affordable. The service is wonderful, and you can tell they really care about their customers. I'm always looking forward to my next visit.“

“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!“

“I have been going to Sushi by Sea regularly since discovering it in 2023. The sushi is exceptional— the quality is as good as I’ve ever had and Chris, the chef/owner, adds unique and innovative touches to each dish. The environment is fun and lively, and is always unique. The menu changes regularly so no experience is ever the same. Highly recommend to any sushi lover that also likes to have a fun time.“

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“What makes this spot so special isn't just the incredible food, but the family feel created by Kathy, Min, Sheena, Chloe, and Cristina. The attention to detail in every dish is incredible—from the expertly prepared chicken and delicious homemade sauce to the fluffy rice, avocado, egg, and mouthwatering dumplings. It’s easily one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted. Add in their consistently fresh sushi and the warm, appreciative staff, and it’s unbeatable. Thank you all for always making every visit feel so special!“

““I had a great experience here. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the omakase set. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was clean with a relaxing atmosphere. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth visiting!”“

“We had a great time at Omakase Shihou. I felt like I was in a Japanese speak easy. It has a secret back room vibe that felt exclusive. The food was impeccable. Well curated and delicious. The chefs know their stuff. The waitress was super nice and helpful as well“

“PERFECTION 👌 👍 If you are looking for a relaxed small sushi shop OMAKASE ONLY experience in the UES. ❤ The nearby places are usually packed with people and this place is a good breather from the crowds 😄 Note ⚠ that this is about $70 or $100 per person omakase but WELL WORTH IT to be honest 👍 Most ingredients brought from Tokyo's fish 🐟 market directly 😀“

“Amazing omakase. Sushi is fresh and exquisite. Ryan the chef came from Michelin restaurants and you can really tell from his skills and knowledge of the fish. Samuel the manager is also very friendly. This is becoming one of my favorite restaurants in the area!“

“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!“

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“I ordered the two-roll sushi combo with a California roll and a salmon avocado roll, and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. I also got the green salad with ginger dressing, which tasted so fresh and flavorful. The shrimp shumai were honestly addictive. They also included veggie gyoza and miso soup on the house, and both were delicious as well. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and I will definitely be returning to Kame Sushi.“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“Second time I go here because my friend’s recommendation and getting more inlove!!!
I brought my few friends a second time and everyone was impressed by that place, because it’s sooooo delicious.
And a nice thing to know, it is (Japanese) no tipping place.“

“My wife and I went to Sushi Jin last night for the first time. It was wonderful on all fronts - the space, the vibe, the freshness, the omakase selections, the assembly, the presentation, and of course, the taste (oishii!). Really good sake, too. Chef Tachikawa took great care of us- he was friendly, gracious, and way capable. Our server (everything else but the sushi), Jean, was also fantastic. We walked out of there satisfied & very happy and thought it was the perfect dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Tried this place yesterday and was honestly impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. Every roll we ordered was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were welcoming, patient, and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. Great food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Some of the best sushi in Manhattan Period.“

“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!“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“This is the best and most authentic sushi restaurant in the Bergen county area. The staff and chefs are Japanese so you know it's authentic. The menu changes daily with seasonal offerings of high quality fish. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Definitely one of the most overwhelming and beautiful places that I’ve ever been to try sushi in my whole life, there’s no way to describe how good it was.
We wait a little more of what we expected.
But wait was worth it food was fresh, homemade and delicious, attention it’s def a 1000/10 you feel that you’re in your home, my 5yo daughter mentioned that she was being treated like her grandma treat her (so you can have an idea of how good they were) well, not many words to add.

Definitely coming back even when I have to drive 21 miles to go there“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed the Salmon Poke bowl and Edamame and then I went back for their Spicy Salmon Rice Crackers and Salmon Avocado Roll the next day! Their staff is so kind and attentive. Great way to end an evening with sushi at one of their tables outside.“

“Got the omakase to go. Was surprised by how good quality the fish was. Some unique flavors/pairings as well. You can tell they are really trying to deliver high value sushi without giving up on quality as much as they can. Also love the soy sauce/and miso soup“

“Great food, great service! I've been coming here for so long, and I don't think I'll ever stop. The owners are so nice and welcoming, and the sushi is amazing. High quality fish + large portions for great prices? Count me in. I love their lunch specials and they are so generous with their portion sizes if I didn't mention it enough earlier. They have so much on their menu to offer you'll never get bored of the options. Just amazing!!“

“The loveliest decor, most delicious food and kindest service. I love coming here and brought my cousin for a celebration.

The regular omakase was superb. The chef created nigiri that had interesting flavor notes (yuzu and others), expertly prepared rice, and divine fish. More than one piece of fish seemed to melt on the tongue rather than needing to be chewed.

My cousin said that it was an out of body experience. I agreed, and then we added two types of hand rolls (snow crab with tobiko and plain scallop). The crispness of the toasted nori heightened the delicate fillings and again, the rice is so much more than an afterthought: I am still thinking about it.

I can’t remember the exact order of the arrival of the miso shrimp soup and omelet, but everything heightened the experience further. The miso soup and balanced sweetness in the omelet showed that no detail is too small for the elegance of the meal. My one regret was not finishing the soup, but the sheer volume we had eaten was at lot by that point!

We also enjoyed two different teas, warming our hands on the beautiful cups as we came in from the cold: one with dinner and another with dessert, which we ended up ordering so we could linger a bit longer in the moment. The desserts were phenomenal, especially the grape sorbet. In addition, I usually get uncomfortable on bar stools, but these are so comfortably designed that time passed without my noticing.

While you can get takeout, you are missing out on the warmth of the people at Noz Market and a sublime sensory experience created by a team that truly cares about your learning and enjoying yourself. It is not to be missed.“

“I ordered take out from here for the first time and I will definitely be back ! I got the 2 roll all day special, spicy shrimp and yellowtail avocado roll. The seafood is super fresh, they don’t use a lot of rice which I love. Miso soup was also delicious.“

“Sushi is really fresh and very friendly and competent team. Prices are confident but not higher than you would expect, spicing could be more interesting. They also have high quality sake and made the most of the shop in terms of atmosphere but it is a small takeout place and seating is at the very busy 6av so best to just grab something and enjoy it in Central Park.“

“So good!!!! Fresh and wonderful“

“Amazingly fresh sushi. Traditional Japanese restaurant with great customer service. Expensive but worth it; better quality than any other sushi place around.“
