“If you love sushi and want a dining experience, I highly recommend trying Genki Omakase. They have two branches, both highly rated, and my husband and I had such an amazing dinner here.
It’s a 15-course omakase, where the chefs curate each dish for you and every single bite was exceptional. Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs expertly prepare everything right in front of you made the experience feel so immersive and special. The pacing and flow between each course was seamless and the service was impressively fast without ever feeling rushed.
They also have some standout à la carte options (especially the Kissing roll with wagyu, toro, caviar and foie gras). Absolutely unforgettable. My personal favorite from the omakase was the O’Toro topped with caviar and a delicate dusting of gold, but honestly, every bite was memorable.
They only seat a small number of guests, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. Such a beautiful dining experience from start to finish.“

“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!“

“I’ve lived on the Upper West Side for four years now, and Sushi W hasn’t raised their lunch set prices once in all that time—a truly remarkable business practice.
Lately, they’ve also introduced a sake tasting and regional showcase series, offering complimentary sake and seasonal fish from specific regions.
Every visit to Sushi W is a delight; the experience never ceases to amaze me. A huge thank you to Yon-San for continuously delivering such an wonderful experience for us!“

“Best sushi we’ve ever had! Chicken gyoza was so good. Udon bowl was incredible. Spicy tuna, avocado roll and yellowtail scallion were top notch. Service was amazing. What a find for a meal prior to a concert at Terminal 5. Fantastic pricing as well! Highly recommend.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Sushi Yolo definitely deserves one!
I decided to treat myself to celebrate the end of my doctorate program. It was a totally spontaneous decision, so I didn’t spend much time choosing a place. I opened Resy, typed “sushi midtown,” picked one of the top-rated spots, and honestly—I’m so glad I chose Sushi Yolo.
The food was great, but what really made the night special was Alex, the host. He was incredibly attentive and welcoming. I ended up having such a fun and meaningful conversation with him and another guest, Jerry—which is rare for me since I don’t usually talk to strangers. We talked about all kinds of things, and the vibe was just so easy and genuine.
Alex also kept pouring complimentary sake on the house, which was such a generous and thoughtful touch. This is one of those nights I’ll definitely remember—the atmosphere, the food, the conversations, and the company.
Thank you, Alex, for the amazing hospitality and real conversations. You and Jerry truly made my night.
I’ll definitely be back to this lovely restaurant soon.
Wishing you all the best on your journey with your husband!“

“It was a great experience all around! We loved the coconut shrimp and the tuna avocado rolls. I've sat at the bar, and the tables, and the bar was great, just wish it was a little deeper. The whole restaurant is gluten-free, which is wonderful if you are going with anyone with celiac or gluten allergies.“

“Nice atmosphere and music, perfect for pleasant conversation, fresh ingredients, nice flavorful pairings. The sushi was very fresh. My only criticism was that the hand rolls are served with the seaweed in plastic wrappers, which makes eating the rolls a bit clumsy as you wrestle with the roll to pull off the plastic wrap. Otherwise was a great meal and would recommend.“

“You don’t expect to find this level of sushi walking down Second Avenue, but Crave Sushi Bar absolutely delivers.
Located at 947 Second Ave in Midtown East, Manhattan, Crave is a Japanese sushi restaurant that blends traditional nigiri with creative, modern bites. It looks understated from the outside, but once the food hits the table, you understand exactly what they’re doing.
The sashimi was incredibly clean and fresh. The thinly sliced white fish in citrus with jalapeño had the perfect balance of delicate texture and subtle heat. Light, bright, and refreshing.
The seared salmon nigiri was a standout. Lightly torched with a touch of sauce on top, rich without being heavy. The seared white fish with sesame and chili had depth and just enough char to bring everything together.
The uni had beautiful texture so I grabbed a photo, but I don’t eat shellfish, so my friend happily handled that one.
One of the more creative bites was the salmon and avocado cube over rice, layered neatly and finished with thin strips of nori. Clean presentation and great balance.
The spicy tuna roll had real texture and flavor, not overly mayo-heavy like so many places.
Even dessert delivered. The warm chocolate chip cookie with melting vanilla ice cream was exactly what you want to end a sushi dinner in Manhattan.
The space feels intimate and relaxed. Perfect for a casual weeknight in Midtown East or a low-key date night.
As someone who spends a lot of time in Midtown Manhattan for real estate, I’m always paying attention to the places that elevate a block. Restaurants like Crave Sushi Bar make Second Avenue more interesting.
If you’re looking for quality Japanese sushi in Midtown East Manhattan that blends traditional nigiri with modern touches, Crave Sushi Bar is absolutely worth a visit.“

“I happened to walk past this window and noticed this little restaurant. Since the next seating hadn’t started yet, I was the first one to sit down and got a unique experience. I was able to watch the chef prepare the ingredients from start to finish — you could truly see how fresh everything was.
They were very friendly and even offered me complimentary sake. The food was delicious, and the flavor combinations were perfectly balanced.
Next time, I’m definitely bringing my friends with me.“

“Pros: Good spot, good food, good sushi selection for being a small space. Cons: Place was very busy when we went (6/13/21) and service was slow. Took 20 minutes to get dessert. Some of our plates and soy dishes were not well cleaned from previous use. Ordered and was charged for two dishes to go, but only one was actually packed. Overall 3 stars due to the cons we experienced, but hoping that was just catching them at a bad time.“

Came for lunch over the weekend and had such a great experience. The hand roll set and the Super Bowl are a must. The portions were generous and the fish was incredibly fresh. Everything tasted amazing.
The decor is beautiful, the space feels clean and inviting, and the service was immaculate from start to finish.
Will definitely be ordering again and dining in soon. Highly recommend!“

“Always Craveable 🥂🍣🍞
A special Sunday brunch at the sushi counter where the entire experience was effortless. From the attentive service and finesse of the fresh sushi to the spectacular talent across the kitchen, the passion here makes the quality truly superb.
A highlight of the Mother’s Day brunch was the special Matcha French Toast—a beautiful treat for the palate and a total standout. The touches of Pommery bubbles and fresh flowers made the celebration feel truly memorable.
Happy 1st Anniversary! 🥂
Cheers to Oliver & the kitchen, Joseph, Nick & team for an incredible first year. The care that goes into every plate is unmistakable. In a city filled with endless options, the heart and creativity here are exactly what make this spot a true nabe gem.
Relish and enjoy the moment—navigating year one is a remarkable accomplishment. Keep inspiring everyone, because the best is yet to come.
Thanks for making our month & see you all soon! 🥂✨
—————Prior Review April 2026—————
10/10 All Around! 🥂✨
Unwinding with a little Friday sparkle and some indulgent nibbles… fabulous as always. The chu-toro tartare with truffle dashi & caviar is always a must-have—paired with Pommery bubbles.
Nick is such a fabulous host! He seamlessly accommodated a last-minute request to pair wines with the tasting menu and expertly guided our move from the bubbles to white wine, sake, and finishing with a perfect red, sharing great insights on each pour, which we all absolutely loved. He was so thoughtful and even provided small tastings for our non-drinking friend so she could experience the flavors!
The Chef’s Tasting Menu was exceptional again, with a great variety of sashimi and sushi. I also couldn’t resist adding some of my favorites: the uni sashimi, seared scallop with uni, and the seared toro—the latter has a fabulous new twist too.
Huge thanks to Nick, all the chefs and kitchen team, the bartender, and the staff for the usual incredible care!
See you all soon!
Prior Review - April 2026
Back at this neighborhood gem—as Nick so perfectly puts it, my little reprieve from the hustle & bustle of NYC. I just found out my review is still stuck in the OpenTable moderation queue since 3/22, so I’m resorting to Google Reviews! (Honestly, this platform is much more seamless and faster.)
During a hectic night, Joseph went above and beyond—from walking us through the tasting menu to ensuring the butter lettuce was paired with the chicken dish! Costas kept everything running smoothly.
The tasting menu is fabulous—kudos to Oliver and the kitchen for the elegant presentation on every dish. The broccolini with caramelized hazelnuts is a standout, with no leftovers to spare. Sitting at the sushi counter watching Andy meticulously craft a full sea bream was a surprise highlight, and Dong provided such amazing and skillful sushi preparation throughout the night. The add-ons for the Chu-toro tartare and seared toro with foie gras and uni are absolute must-haves every time—the uni is such high quality (AAA grade) and incredibly fresh.
Those thoughtful touches made our night the perfect start to the weekend.
Looking forward to the next visit!“

“If you have not experienced Omakase before, or are always on the lookout for high quality fish, you should stop by here! The flavor combinations were absolutely fantastic. The chef is very educated and versed in anything sushi, as well as other cuisines. There was a large selection of sake, and we were guided on what pairs well with certain types of fish. The team members are very sweet, it was nice to connect with them and have a real conversation over a great meal. Can’t recommend this place enough! We will be back :)“

“Super high quality and so grateful it's in the LIC neighborhood! DEFINITELY recommended. The experience is intimate, with seating for about 10-12 in front of the chefs, but with tables in the back as well for a la carte dining. We were seated next to friendly folks so instantly had a fun connection during dinner and the staff was extremely attentive and professional throughout. The seafood was unbelievably fresh and delicious. My personal favorites were the O'Toro and the King Salmon but the Nigiri was up there as were all the tuna options. In short - all SO GOOD. Topped off with dessert, our 15 and 18 course omakase experience at Kaiyo was well worth it and had us content and happy.“

“I love this place. The sushi is excellent, but it's a more relaxed and approachable atmosphere than other omakase places. And even better is that there are multiple counters and tables so you're actually able to get a reservation rather than competing for just a dozen seats per night. 😄 Really, though, the food and service are great. I have taken multiple groups here on business dinners, and we always have an excellent meal. And the service is so attentive - for example, they noticed my friend was left handed so they reoriented her plate (we were at a table, not the counter) to accommodate her on every course. I also recommend getting the beverage pairing to go with your omakase courses. The sommelier does a great job.“

“Great place with a decent price. I’m biased towards scallop so that’s always great. The Amberjack was better than most places here and their Wagyu piece as well! It completely melted off my tongue. I only dock one star because the Uni was a bit unfresh as we were getting the last few pieces from the box, so it may have been older.“

“My experience at 13 Water was absolutely incredible! We booked our reservations earlier in the week for a Friday night and were fortunate enough to get a table.
The 13-piece sushi offering was sensational—easily some of the best sushi I have ever tried. The quality of the fish is outstandingly fresh, and you can truly taste the difference. The concept of having a three-person sushi chef station is super cool and adds to the unique atmosphere.
Beyond the food, the service was equally impressive. The staff provided quick and attentive service, which made the entire experience delightful.
My wife and I agreed this was one of the coolest dining experiences we've ever had. We are absolutely planning to go back to 13 Water! Highly, highly recommend.“

“Such a lovely sushi bar! I told the chef that I really love scallops, and he kindly suggested that I try their secret chirashi bowl. When I saw it, I honestly didn’t even want to touch it at first because it looked so beautiful and carefully arranged — like a piece of art. But after the first bite, I understood why he recommended it. The scallops were incredibly fresh and sweet, and the toro was rich, fatty, and buttery. Every piece tasted amazing. What really surprised me was the rice — perfectly seasoned and textured, honestly omakase-level sushi rice, which made the whole bowl even better.
You can really tell the chef puts a lot of care into every detail. Such a thoughtful little hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back! 🍣“

“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.“
“This place just opened 6 months ago but the omakase is incredible. 75$ for 13 courses with the different combinations and flavors they put together with the freshest ingredients is hard to come by. If you are going to a Broadway show or are near time square and want a memorable omakase experience to round out your night you can’t go wrong here. I highly recommend it. The cost and location for the incredible experience can’t be beat. Our favorite bites were the shrimp and foie gras and the lean tuna with truffle mushroom. On top of that the environment is an intimate sushi bar setting with just 20 seats so you can see the sushi artist in action from any seat you’re in. 10/10 will definitely be back as soon as we can.“

“Had a fantastic time for our first experience here. Every piece was fresh, my ginger plate never empty (and I never had to ask), and the price is unmatched for the quality.
My favorite pieces were the botan ebi (shrimp), hotate (scallop), and the chu toro. I’m honestly surprised that shrimp made my list, as it isn’t typically a nigiri I enjoy. But this was so fresh, so delicate, and raw — as it should be! I also ordered the special hotaru ika (firefly squid) and kinmadei (red snapper). The ika was particularly unique, but the snapper was my preference of the two special items I ordered at the end.
Husband loved the chu toro. Shoutout to the toro handroll as well.
The sake we ordered — Kikusui Junmai — was light, crisp, dry, and slightly nutty, just like I like it. It paired excellently with the menu.
A group of girls next to us were celebrating a birthday and the sushi creation they made for the birthday girl was stunning. I saw it had toro and caviar and a few other things I couldn’t tell from my vantage point. They finished it off with a quick spray of gold glitter. A beautiful touch.
We are eager to go back and to bring our friends! What a gem to have in the neighborhood. Go go go!
Not pictured: eel, ikura (YUM), chutoro handroll (sorry!)“

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!“
