“Best sushi restaurant I have EVER been to. It is VERY affordable, the service is amazing!!!! I went with my wife and my son, and they gave use free desert and food for my son. I will be recommending everyone I know to come here. 10/10✨✨✨“

“So, this is a very authentic place. The food is always great, and the atmosphere is just real. It still has a human feel to it because it is local and small, which is why we keep going. Thank so much to the manage (the actual owner), and the staff who brings such a real and loving feel to the eating experience. Food is always amazing...“

“We got a sushi platter on NYE and it was great. All good rolls, fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend it!“

“The food was delicious. Seating was ample, comfortable and clean. The options were plentiful.“

“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!“

“Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food! Came across this place and was not disappointed at all! Super good. Everything was a bit more expensive than my go-to place in Kips Bay but 100% worth it. The ramen was so good. Broth tasted amazing. Everything we got was perfect! Calamari, sushi all great.

I was a big fan of the seating area too. The paper cranes on the ceiling were a cool addition! Staff was also very nice. For a Saturday Lunch, there was no wait.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“NYC’s Most Beautiful Omakase — and yes, it tastes just as stunning as it looks.

Every course is a masterpiece of flavor and presentation — from delicate slices of premium fish to perfectly balanced bites that melt in your mouth. One of the most refined sushi experiences in the city.

“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!“

“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!!“

“The food was rich and flavorful. Some of the best eel, it was very tender. The sweet potato roll was crunchy and had so much flavor. The broth in the Ramen and Miso soup was not salty like most places and had a taste that complemented the dish.

The crunchy rice roll was the only dish that was average. It smelled much better than it tasted. The tuna and salmon tasted great but the actual fried portion on the rice was overpowering.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had such a wonderful experience! Marilyn took amazing care of us.
she helped with the wine and made sure our order was perfect. Leo was so friendly and kind, and Ryan kept checking in to make sure everything was going well. The food was absolutely delicious..especially the sushi, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful!
The cozy atmosphere made everything even better.
Thank you all so much for such a lovely night!“

“Fantastic Omakase sushi that's wonderfully precisely created and presented. We started with the 15 piece and ended with addons that blew the doors off (the Waygu was spectacular!). The service was attentive and immediate. Really great experience thank you so much!“

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

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

“We went on a random weekday and had to wait in line for an hour to get in. But the food, music and atmosphere were all worth the wait. The music was amazing, very old school jazz with lots of improvisation. They have different artists every day so the experience is probably different. The music is not very loud and you can easily have a conversation. The menu is extensive, lots of interesting food and a separate section listing all their vegetarian options.“

“Please open wynwood Miami Florida next location very very very soon next location they want this please plan a location this year finding a location thanks please plan to find a location this year the sooner the better so you have the location ready to go please or next year start 2026 finding a location for Miami Florida next location wynwood“

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“Such a great deal for the diner omakase
Super accommodating staff (we made a mistake to our reservation and they seamlessly welcomed us)

The chef (Moto-san?) is SUCH a gem, detailed, warm and sooo adorable 🥰
He even made a roll on the house for us

Great staff as well! Everyone was awesome

Can’t recommend this place enough 🤍🤍🤍“

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

“Went there for dinner with friends. The place is cozy and homey. The foods were delish. I really like spicy cucumber. It’s tasty and refreshing. Service was awesome. The servers are very attentive. I definitely come back to try others menu.“

“One of the best brunch spots in Upper Manhattan! The Latin music sets the perfect vibe, the drinks are on point, and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is super friendly, making sure you have a great time. Perfect place to go with friends, enjoy some music, and just vibe. Definitely my new favorite spot. Highly recommend!“

“I had an amazing experience at One Bite Omakase on the Upper West Side. The food was absolutely outstanding – every bite was packed with flavor and prepared to perfection. Truly world-class taste and quality and great price.

Highly recommended! 👍“

“Come here after you've tried a few other omakases in the city so you can appreciate the depth of flavor within the fish. There's so many flavors of “omakase's” nowadays. Some go for volume of fish. Others go for novelty of types of seafood served. And then others make crazy new combos and try to serve you wagyu on uni on caviar on gold flaked foie gras. Here, you can taste what a traditional, Edo style kombu brine over a patient few days can do for sushi. Good rice, intentional preparation. Not flashy, just good. With that said, service was great, but not exceptional.“

“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“

“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!“

“Excellent value for the meal- we have had more expensive omakase that was not as delicious as the Chemistry Room. And the chef even seared my fish because unlike my husband who loves raw sashimi, I prefer the texture of cooked fish. Both the chefs and the servers were very attentive to the guests, asking what was the occasion and bringing out a dessert with candle for one of the guests celebrating a birthday.“

“We had sushi there yesterday and it was truly an amazing experience. The chef was not only highly skilled and professional, but also very funny, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh—honestly the freshest and best I’ve ever had. Every bite was full of clean, natural flavor. Highly recommend!“

“The food was generally salty. The first time I went, I ordered the eel rice bowl, but it was so salty that I thought I'd ruined my appetite after enjoying the other appetizers. The staff checked with me and said it was just salty that day. I got free ice cream instead. So today, I went for the hand rolls for the second time, and even the appetizers were a little salty. The hand rolls were delicious. The other dishes were fine, but they were a little salty. It wasn't just me; everyone I went with said the same thing.“

“I had a great experience at Maki Sushi while I was in town for work and happened to stumble in for dinner. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered the Sushi Deluxe, which came with 10 pieces of chef’s-choice sushi and a roll — I went with salmon and avocado. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully put together.

Pete, who is both the sushi chef and the owner, was excellent. We struck up a genuinely good conversation while I was eating, and he was friendly, complimentary, and clearly takes pride in what he does. Sitting at the bar felt welcoming and relaxed — the kind of place where you actually enjoy talking to the person making your food.

One small but really impressive detail stood out: Pete noticed I like a little wasabi with my tuna and offered me fresh wasabi without me even asking. For a sushi spot of this size, having fresh wasabi on hand is always impressive — it’s a great little treat, and usually something you only get if you know to ask. That kind of attentiveness says a lot.

The quality of the fish here is excellent. My favorite bite of the night was the salmon belly — rich, buttery, and delicious. The sushi here is definitely geared toward a more classic and approachable palate. It’s simple, clean, and done well, and the quality of the fish and service really shine.

I’m really glad I found this place and will absolutely come back next time I’m in the area. Thanks for a great experience, Pete — maybe next time I’m in town you’ll have some toro on hand just for me.

Highly recommend.“

“Really delicious and filling. The Berkshire is leagues better than the tender loin, a must get. The aji fired was unbeatably tender and delicious. The prawns were really crispy and goes well with the tartar sauce. Love the mountain of cabbage given, washes away the excess oil from eating so much fried food.“

“An Evening of Class on 38th Street

On a recent Wednesday evening—September 10th at 7 PM—I stepped into a snug little spot on 38th Street to find it buzzing. The room was packed with young professionals, businessmen, and stylish women. My longtime friend Jeff and I blended into the lively crowd.

Full disclosure: I know the chef-owner personally, and this meal was generously hosted by my childhood friend. Still, as always, my words are honest.

The space is intimate, jewel-box small, glowing with dim light—sophisticated yet relaxed. Details matter here: polished silverware, sparkling glassware, a tiny table lamp. These small touches elevate the atmosphere and remind you dining is as much ritual as flavor.

Plates arrived swiftly despite the crowd. The food leaned Franco-Japanese, evoking Morimoto, Nobu, and Masa—an homage rather than imitation.

Two dishes stood out. The chicken thigh yakitori was sublime: grilled to perfection, dusted with sansho and peppercorns, and served on an antique-rimmed plate. Proof that the simplest dishes are often the hardest—and most rewarding. The truffle rice was equally memorable. During my three-week vacation back home in New York City, I’d avoided rice and carbs entirely, but this dish broke my resolve. Fragrant koshihikari, laced with truffle, finished with those irresistible crunchy bottom bits—I polished off the bowl without hesitation.

Cocktails, too, were playful and thoughtful, nodding to Queens and Brooklyn nightlife with green tea spirits and karaoke-inspired twists.

By the end, I marveled at how alive the restaurant felt for a Wednesday night. Packed, vibrant, and delicious. I’ll gladly return on my next trip, and I congratulate the chef-owner: holding one’s own on 38th Street is no small feat—and this place does it with grace and flavor.“

“The people are the best! We have been coming here for years and enjoy the food and amazing service.“

“Simplemente impresionante. No pensamos que algo así pudiera existir en NY. Los sabores propuestos son increíbles. El valor no está en las paredes o mobiliario, sino en lo que llevas a tu paladar y la atención personalísima, atenta y divertida. Gracias, gracias, gracias...“

“Chef Vincent is incredible. I went to Omakase OSUKAA yesterday and loved it so much that I came back again today. Every piece of sushi was perfectly balanced, from the toro, uni, and caviar to the creative hand rolls, and you can really taste how fresh the fish is. The pacing, explanation of each course, and warm service made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed. For the quality of the omakase, the price feels very fair, especially in Midtown East. This is easily one of my favorite omakase spots in the city and I will definitely keep coming back.“

“1st time I tried real ramen and it was SO GOOD! Friendly staff and quick service, cute small spot. Not a lot of seating but i recommend“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“Just finished a really good meal for a neighborhood sushi place. The fish tasted fresh and the temperature was correct. I ordered two types of special fish: sweet shrimp and chu-toro. Both were very good. Also had the Spicy Girl roll. That comes with the shrimp heads that were cooked and delicious. Certainly a good choice for sushi in the neighborhood and I will be back!“

“A must visit every time for me in New York! It’s my 4th visit and I love it every time. Excellent food and service, they were understanding when part of our party was late to the reservation due to travel delays and tried their best to accommodate. They even gave me tea and crackers while waiting for my friends! Gratuity is included in the price (like how they do it in Japan) which is surprisingly refreshing and touching for NYC. The value is unbeatable for omakase and definitely a must try if you like sushi and want to try an authentic and quality omakase experience without breaking the bank.“

“Came here the other night looking for something hot on a cold night and was not disappointed! Cute atmosphere and service was very quick and food lived up to expectations of other ramen places I’ve been too. I definitely recommend for when in the area!“

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

“Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.“

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

“Exceptional service. Saturday night, 10 August, 2026. We are visiting from Australia and had a busy day getting our son organised into his US college. We decided to grab a quick bite to eat on the way back to our hotel. Our food was exceptional, as was the service. Unfortunately, a lady beside us smashed her glass of water onto the floor beside us and it sprayed water and glass over our son’s legs, backpack and under our table. I had to remain standing, as our food came, whilst the staff cleaned up. The lady was so rude, didn’t apologise to the staff (or us!) or say thank you to the staff as they cleaned up after her and refilled her glass of water. Our son’s college paperwork was ruined, as was a passport. We wanted to express on our gratitude to the staff for being so professionals the whole time, for the great food and service also!! We will definitely be back. And I’m sorry that you were treated so poorly by the lady.“

“The owner and sushi chef owe a court order judgment for unpaid overtime for over 140 thousand and have avoided it for over 10 years!So much so that the interest alone is over 200 thousand!Now the own this restaurant next to Macy's in Manhattan and the owner claims they are separated now and he doesn't work there anymore to escape from a measly 100 every two weeks!The most dishonest and disrespectful con artists I have ever known in over 27 years in the restaurant business from California,Las Vegas,and New York!How do people get away with this!Taking food out of my family's mouth!Disgrace!!!!“

“Good taste and service !“

“It was fascinating. Foods was fresh. Love it“
