“The CRAZIEST thing has happened!!!

I have never experienced such high-effort service before. I was out for an early birthday dinner with a few family members, my uncle in particular, enjoys his drinks with ice (lol who doesn’t.) However, after he ordered his signature coca-cola, we were told there was no ice left. Understandably, my uncle was very upset and made it clear to the worker.

Just then, as we were receiving our sushi order, a very kind man named Michael noticed this concern, and told us he was going to the store to get ice. He went out of his way to leave the place, go to CVS, and FREAKING PAID FOR A GIANT ICE PACK JUST TO GIVE MY UNCLE AN ICED DRINK. He basically paid for our drinks if you compare prices. I have never experienced or witnessed this type of outstanding service before.

At first, we didn’t believe it at first, we even bet 5 bucks because we swore we just misheard him. 5 minutes later, he comes back with a giant iced cup just perfect for my uncle to pour his cola in. When was the last time you’ve experienced this?

And on top of that, he served us ice cream dessert on the house!!! We spoke to him for a bit, he even recognized us and where we sat all times we ate here in the past months. He is a very kind man. Shoutout to Michael!!!!!!“

“Feel like chinese or Japanese? you will be satisfied with both. Great ambience and services. Bring your wine. The best in town. A delight, including my waiter John, who treats me like a Queen.“

“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!“

“To us, the best Omakase place in the city. Excellent quality, exceptional service and if you excellent price, especially during the week for lunch time. We have brought our friends, our family visiting us… we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here whenever we have had the opportunity to. Just a great place.“

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

“Great spot ...............“

“We truly enjoyed our time at the sushi bar. My son absolutely loved the experience, especially collecting and disposing of the plates to earn points. The sushi was very fresh, provided it had not been on the belt for too long, and we would also recommend ordering the hot food. The robot was charming, and we enjoyed having it deliver our drinks. We also appreciated the restroom facilities, which featured heated seats and bidets. While we were unsure about the availability of prizes, our waiter kindly provided a charm for our son. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again in the future.“

“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. 🍣✨“

“Food is pretty good. There were not so many people on Saturday for lunch, but every servant looked busy. No one really came and helped order until I tried to stop them several times. They served the dish and were friendly. I honestly don't think I need that much of service but the minimum suggested tip is 20%. I will probably go back but I will most likely order to go“

“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!“

“The food here was great. We added this as a random stop on our way home and it did not disappoint. The dumplings were so perfectly crispy. We ordered several different specialty rolls and they food came out so quickly. It's nothing special on the inside but a lot of the best places aren't! Would definitely come back again if we pass along the way.“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“The Sushi by Sea experience is the best Omakase I have ever been to. The chef and the owner made the experience so special with the attention to detail in every course and the 12 seat omakase room. Each course was more special than the next but the New Zealand Salmon that was torched and the smoked and the Black Cod with the Whipped Miso were exceptional and unlike any bites I have ever had! Highly recommend this dining experience!!!“

“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!"“

“Okinami Sushi offers food that is clean, precise, well-priced and quietly excellent, with none of the excess that has overtaken so many spots. The servers are helpful and kind, and excitedly greet each customer like the Cheer’s bar did for Norm. You leave pleasantly delighted — already calculating when you can reasonably return. Arigato Okinami!“

“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!“

“Just stopped in after seeing on Introvert Girl TikTok. Small spot, seems like they mainly do take out but there are plenty of tables inside, seating for 25. Ordered a spicy salmon roll with tuna nigiri lunch combo and a spicy crab roll - the bill after tax was $19!! Ok, but what about the quality? Amazingly fresh and the chef cuts the tuna so it's perfectly tender, was almost close to Toro consistency but clearly not toro. And it came out with the quickness, maybe 6 or 7 minutes and I had it in my hand and there were two other customers that were waiting inside when I got there that also were served and left before I even got my food. Can't praise this spot enough. Can't wait to try and order a huge platter for the next family gathering.“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant and the menu looks amazing too but the menu looks so bad I don’t want it anymore it’s so good and it’s just a really nice place and I don’t want the restaurant and it’s so much more expensive and I want a good food but it’s so expensive I want a restaurant that“

“One of the best quality sushi you can find I this side of coast. you can not miss this place“

“We were five seconds away from getting hangry and we found this place. we both got the scallion pancakes and the pork ramen. Let me tell you the broth came out hot and plentiful. It was savory and rich. It was such a perfect end to our day. The scallion pancakes were pan fried and not deep fried, which we preferred. They were crispy and soft in the inside. I couldn’t recommend this hidden gem enough.“

“Great service! Everyone is so nice there and the food comes very fast! One of my favorite restaurants to go to! All of the food there is perfectly handmade!!! Definitely go there!!!“

“The sushi, rolls, and sashimi rice bowl were all incredibly fresh — you could taste it in every bite. The fish was clean and delicate, the rolls were packed with flavor, and the rice bowl was generous and perfectly seasoned. Easily one of the best Japanese meals I've had in a while. I'll definitely be coming back.👍“

“We stopped in for lunch for the first time. We enjoyed beef negamaki, shrimp tempura and a salmon roll. The food came out piping hot and fresh. All was delicious and the price was very reasonable.
The atmosphere was quiet and the dinning serene. We will be back again soon.“

“Food is so good. I love it. I had the shrimp and chicken hibachi combo“

“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.“

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

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“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.“

“Excellent all you can eat sushi! Everything was fresh, delicious, and the portions were very generous. The restaurant is extremely clean, the service was great, and the food came out fresh and well prepared.

What really stood out was the owner. She is such a sweet, caring, and polite person who genuinely makes you feel welcome and appreciated. You can tell she really cares about her customers and the quality of the restaurant. She’s off to a great start!

Great food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. Definitely great sushi spot. Highly recommend, and I’ll absolutely be coming 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!“

“I wish I took pictures of the food before, but the dishes were so delicious I could not wait!
From the entrees, service, and ambiance… everything was perfect!
The owners are extremely hospitable and their commitment to their craft is very evident in their delicious food!
To The Yamada Sushi Team, thank you again for the excellent dinner!“

“I work nearby, and this is my favourite place to get lunch! Delicious food, but what stands out is the service. Super friendly and accommodating. They’ll customise your order as much as you want, and once when I (clumsily) tripped and dropped my food as soon as I walked out the door they remade my order for free!“

“Great place to eat!! Excellent service.“

“Decent price and quality sushi. I had sushi and sashimi platter combo and my family and friends liked it very much!“

“The restaurant was clean and cozy. My family loves to come here for sushi !! The people are friendly and the owner is very nice. But the greatest part is the food. It’s sooo delicious and fresh. We enjoy coming to Sushi House for our family night outs!!“

“We had dinner at Matsu on Friday......its a little gem in Hillsdale. We were pleasantly surprised, by the quality and quantity of the food. The Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They very friendly and warm. It was a most enjoyable dinner. We have ordered food to takeout but hadn't been inside the restaurant since the pandemic.... We will definitely go again soon. It was a great experience and we both recommend you give it a try!“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“Good sushi, and ramen and udon soups.“

“That Detroit pizza is definitely something else and I mean that in the best way possible. Never heard of Al pastor pizza but this place got it and I ordered it and I don’t regret it. 10/10 food and it was quickly delivered too so thank you for the fast hands“

“Had the Omakase Style yesterday. Was amazing. Highly recommend this place“

“Our company Holiday party was there and it was awesome. The food and service was the best.“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“One of the best sushi spots I've been to. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, making for an excellent dining experience. If you're a sushi lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back again.“

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

“Every time I’ve been to Maguro Sushi House in Rochelle Park, the sushi is absolutely delicious. Fresh, made right there on the spot, and full of flavor, it’s the kind of place that just feels good. If you’re a sushi lover, this is the place to go. And if you’ve never tried sushi before, you’ve got to make this your go to spot!

The wonderful owner and friendly staff make you feel right at home in their clean, welcoming space. There are so many delicious options to choose from, and everything is so fresh and satisfying. Whether it’s a cozy lunch or a fun takeout night, it never disappoints. You can’t let this one pass you by, warm, heartfelt, and truly a great experience for everyone. Highly recommend!

Don’t forget to add some of their sweet treats!!!!“
