50 Best Sushi Bars in Brooklyn

“Walked into this place on a whim because the ratings were so good. I was not disappointed. Every piece of fish was super fresh and delicious. You could tell the chef was excited about his craft and very knowledgeable. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The chared otoro was a highlight as well as the engawa.

I was a little worried that it would be overpriced but I'd gladly pay again.“

“Great food very good service“

“Went after Christmas for dinner. Fresh and delicious sushi and appetizers. If you like green tea must have the green tea ice cream for dessert. Cocktails were well crafted and servers, host offered impeccable and attentive service. Highly recommended.“

“A truly unique and meditative omakase experience

Shota Omakase delivers an experience unlike anything else. The atmosphere is calm, intimate, and almost monastic — a quiet space where attention is fully focused on the food and the moment.

Service is entirely dedicated to creating a flawless experience, with an impressive level of care, precision, and respect for timing and flow.

We chose the omakase with premium sake pairing, and it was exceptional. The selection of sakes was outstanding — complex, elegant, and perfectly matched to each course. The highlights included the premium sakes shown in the pairing, all impeccably chosen.

Every dish was surprising and beautifully executed. Special mention goes to the uni, which was remarkably sweet, clean, and creamy, with absolutely no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste — a clear sign of top-quality sourcing and handling.

This is not just a meal, but a complete sensory experience. Refined, thoughtful, and deeply memorable. An outstanding destination for those seeking omakase at the highest level in New York City.“

“Tuna cutting ceremony was a thrill in all respects… great staff here !“

“Best Omakase I’ve ever had 😊“

“We love every bite we had here! High quality fish, amazing experience! We will definitely come back again!“

“We’ve been back to Kimyo, formerly Koi, multiple times because their Omakase is great value for the price. Their 14 course Omakase is only $49.00 without drinks and includes delicious pieces with wagyu, caviar, truffle, and foie gras. Definitely make a reservation if you’re dining on the weekend.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“First I saw the little beings in the edge of the window. Then, above them, bulbs that looked like rocks, floating mid air, dimmed, perfect✨
I wasn’t sure it was still open but my Joshua went on to see if we could have a little dessert at this Japanese haven-the answer was yes 🙌🏻
From the whimsically intentional decor, to the atmosphere that filled the room, the warmth and wonder was everywhere. And we were the only two people in there. Just a few sashimis and then one Kumamoto oyster for me. What a delight! Their fish was exquisite-just as the exuberant expression of when you’re feeling elated “fresh as a fish” goes. The oyster balanced originality with tradition in a complex, yet accessible unraveling to the palette, where your mind can find each of the ingredients meet each other and dance. The creaminess of Kumamoto really allows interesting alloys because of its texture. As I am writing all this, I do remember one more texture. The texture of the rim of the tea cups they served us a delicious Oolang in. Not only it looks like its own little ceramic pastry, but when you would bring it to your lips-Oh! What a triumph of design. Not only it tasted serenely warm, but it felt so luxurious on the lips-even a bit osé if I may 😋
The owner stayed with us after closing, telling us about how him and his wife open this gem in Greenpoint some time ago & how much love and precision they put into it. You can see their eye in every little corner of the place. From wonder to smiles, my eyes wandered softly the whole time we were there. How LUCKY 🍀 we were to have been in a place of excellence. Where taste met design, where they swayed along with sweetness & wits, creating a unique corner for you to feel what is the symbiosis of yin and yang ✨🙌🏻🍃✨🍂🪁🙏🏻
For all lovers of deep & quiet “wow”s…
Thank you 🤩🤗🥳
🌬️🍣🫧💦✨“

“Food was delicious. Would go back again“

“깔끔하고 깊은 맛이 좋았습니다.“

“Wonderful hand rolls. My wife and I stopped by for an impromptu date night and had a lovely time. All of our bites were delicious and the service was warm and friendly. We had just returned from Japan and we were not disappointed. We loved the crispy rice and all of the hand rolls we ordered.“

“I have been to all three Daigo locations (City Point, 4th Ave, and this one) and they all are great with their consistent level of preparation and quality fish. This one is nice because it is the most “sit down” of the three, most of the seats are at the bar! Ha! Just like the standing-only location at Dekalb Market Hall (in City Point), you get served one hand roll at a time to ensure your rice is warm. I’ve only been here with as a party of three max so I don’t know for sure if you’d get one hand roll at a time if you can as a bigger party. Not pictured is the ebi handroll with a generous amount of raw baby sweet shrimp that is bursting with flavor. What I like about Daigos is that you can stop in for a delicious handrolls in a quick and casual setting.“

“I had a very good experience at this sushi restaurant. The service was excellent — the woman who took care of us was incredibly kind, attentive, and very accommodating, especially since one of my friends has a specific diet. She really listened and made sure everything was adapted, which we truly appreciated.

The food was fresh and delicious. The sushi was prepared right in front of us at the counter, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything felt clean and well taken care of — even the restrooms were spotless.

The place itself is cozy and simple, nothing fancy, but comfortable and inviting. Prices felt fair considering the quality of the fish and the freshness, though for the overall experience, it might be slightly on the higher side. That said, it was honestly one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had.“

“High food quality. I ordered different food for takeout several times and they never disappointed me. Chicken bento surprised me as the chicken is crispy after I brought it home. The server was very nice. The restaurant itself is a little small but I usually order takeout so it doesn't affect me.“

“Miro Sushi 1 year review! I’ve come here on a near weekly basis for a year. they are the best sushi in brooklyn and rank amongst the best in all of NYC. Consistent, fresh, affordable, and good portions. I’ve probably eaten here well over 50 times and the sushi never misses. hospitality alone is a 10/10 easily the best hospitality of any restaurant I’ve been to since day 1. restaurant is owned and run by a small family, husband, wife, sister and children. the main sushi chef used to work in high end omakase as far as I can make out and he’s very very refined when it comes to presentation and it’s reflected in some of the most consistent and best sushi you’d ever have. these guys came and redefined sushi quality and sushi pricing for the area of bay ridge. fish quality is on par with nobu without the price tag. miso soup is hands down the best miso soup you’d have and can’t be skipped. they also have the best onigiri (rice balls) for like $4.50 a pop which is huge. it is a secret menu item (the only one as far as I know lol). they also have very tasty pudding. that mini sashimi bowl with uni and caviar is easily top 3 things i’ve ever eaten in my life, it just melted in my mouth and came together into a flavor that words can’t describe.

overall I highly recommend this place for a sushi craving, a date, a family hangout. if sit by window you get a nice view of the brooklyn bridge. the inside is very well decorated and changes seasonally. you really can’t go wrong with miro. I literally crawled there in the middle of the winter storm to grab some miso soup and sushi, it’s that good.“

“We recently celebrated one of dearest friends birthday here and it was amazing. The ambiance is very nice, calm, private which allow us to catch up with our friends. The food is very authentic, and the drinks are very well crafted. Food and drinks tastes as good as it looks!. The staff's service were beyond expectations... Yangi, she was so attentive! I dropped my chopsticks, didn't expect anyone to notice but, she rush to give me a new set within a second. If you're looking for a good atmosphere, authentic vietnamese fresh food, and great service, definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed.“

“I ordered a few party platters for a holiday event and everything was delivered right on time. The trays were beautifully presented and, most importantly, the sushi was fresh and delicious. Everyone loved it. We’re lucky to have them in the Greenpoint neighborhood for some of the best sushi in Brooklyn.“

“The delivery people don't carry change

Food was very good
The employees always have a smile very very good service

I ordered it twice in one day the first time it was good the second time it wasn't good“

“Excellent sushi, great service, great people.“

“My wife and I loved the food, it was our first time trying donburi and it was incredible. We'll definitely be back. The food was very tasty and fresh, and they ladies at the register were so sweet to my dog, they even gave her a treat! 100% recommended“

“Attended an Omakase event, Staff Amazing, Food absolutely delicious 😋, The experience going and enjoying time with your friends, priceless. They made us feel like we were part of the Koma Sushi 🍣 family. THANK YOU“

“Good atmosphere! Great service. Delicious food.“

“Decent sushi. Would be a 4* if they didnt consistently forget my spicy mayo. I pay extra for spicy mayo and they just dont include it in my order. This has happened more than once.

Getting spicy mayo in my orders now. Thanks.“

“Really great sushi and great atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and it felt like having a meal with friends. The pieces you know will be great (toro, wagyu, etc.) were great but they also had the best scallop I’ve ever had with delicious black garlic. I’ll be back.“

“This place is very, very special. Having visited a lost count of Omakase counters in NYC, it’s often a real risk choosing a new one, even when you do the research and read a million reviews.

My wife and I took the risk on LUYA when taking a friend to dinner a couple weeks ago and it may have been our biggest surprise in NY dining in at least a few years. There are way too many things praise worthy at this place to list them all so I’ll highlight a few and let the rest speak for itself when you go try it…

- The staff is beyond top tier. Not only are they all friendly, kind, observant and attentive, but they’re also fun to be around! Never intrusive, never annoying, always the right amount of conversation.

- The fish is some of the best, and most outstandingly fresh I’ve ever had anywhere, not just in NY. The sourcing must be incredible because every single piece is truly punching WAY above its class in terms of price, taste, and presentation.

- The natural wine bar and perfectly curated selection of sake and Japanese spirits is such a welcome surprise. The cocktails are wonderful, and the bartender (somm??) is super knowledgeable about everything there.

Just come here, you won’t regret it. Best kept secret in the city.“

“The food and service is amazing!! Made our bunch perfect!!“

“Our waiter walked us through and explained everything to us as we are sushi novice. This was a well recommended place for sushi and sashimi and I highly recommend it!“

“Great food and friendly staff who always remember who we are!!“

“Went to TORA NYC recently and decided to order takeout, but even from that short experience the hospitality stood out. While we were waiting, they offered us water and were really welcoming, which already left a good impression. The space itself looks beautiful modern, intimate, and definitely feels like the kind of place that would make a really nice date spot.

We ordered three dishes: the Yokan Roll, Negichutoro Don, and Gyudon.

The Yokan Roll was a really nice example of how modern sushi rolls balance texture and richness. Inside was spicy salmon and cucumber, and it was topped with lightly seared salmon, mentaiko sauce, tempura flakes, and tobiko. The seared salmon added a gentle smokiness while still keeping that soft buttery texture salmon naturally has. The mentaiko sauce, made from seasoned pollock roe that’s widely used in Japanese cuisine, brought a creamy, briny umami flavor that paired really well with the fish. Tobiko added those signature little bursts of saltiness, and the tempura flakes gave a light crunch that balanced the richness of the sauce and salmon. It was a well constructed roll where each topping actually had a purpose.

We also got the Negichutoro Don, which had minced medium fatty bluefin tuna over rice. In sushi terminology, tuna is categorized by fat content akami being lean, chutoro the medium fatty section, and otoro the richest cut from the belly. Chutoro tends to be the sweet spot because it has enough fat to be buttery while still keeping that clean ocean flavor. The texture here was incredibly soft and almost melt-in-your-mouth. Negitoro as a dish traditionally mixes minced tuna with scallions, since the word “negi” literally means scallion. The tuna quality here was great and the texture was amazing, but I do think it could be elevated slightly. If the scallions were minced and mixed into the toro instead of sitting on top it would distribute the flavor more evenly. A little shredded nori could add some aroma from the sea, and honestly avocado would pair really nicely with the richness of the tuna.

The Gyudon was probably the most comforting dish we ordered. Gyudon has a long history in Japan and became popular in the late 19th century as a quick, affordable rice bowl. Thinly sliced beef is simmered in a sweet savory broth that’s very similar to sukiyaki sauce, usually made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sometimes dashi. The beef absorbs that slightly sweet umami flavor as it cooks. Here it was served over rice with scallions, sesame seeds, and an onsen egg. Once everything was mixed together, the egg yolk coated the rice and beef and brought everything together. The sauce, beef, and egg created that rich silky texture that makes gyudon such a comforting dish.

Even though we only ordered takeout, that level of service was noticeable.

Overall the food was really good and thoughtfully prepared. The fish quality was great, the bowls were comforting, and the hospitality stood out even in a quick takeout experience. The restaurant itself looks like a really nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal, so we’ll definitely be coming back to dine in next time.“

“Excellent Sushi ! Would highly recommend. Only wished they had Saki.“

“Tried Katana Sushi and had a great experience! We ordered ramen and Philadelphia rolls, and both were absolutely delicious. The ramen was flavorful and comforting, and the rolls were fresh and perfectly made. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving good sushi and Japanese food!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere. I will be back in the future“

“Had no idea that this place was a self serve sushi place!

Perfect for a quick bite and not too expensive.
Pretty neat that you can grab one each of everything.

The taro boba drink was also tasty!“

“อาหารอร่อย สะอาด การบริการดี รวดเร็ว“

“Sushi was very very fresh, taste and presentation was 10/10. Our new go to spot! The spicy mayo was also amazing, I love how perfectly spicy it is, other places it’s usually sweet and doesn’t taste right, this place is just overall amazing!!! I just ate ALOT and I'm thinking about it and how I could eat more, that’s how good it is! I cant wait to order from here again, best best sushi I’ve had in a very long time and Ive tried sooo many spots in Brooklyn, this place is 10/10, 100% recommend!!“

“If you want value and convenience for your sushi fix, J San Sushi is your place: Affordable prices and many options. They updated their price a wee bit lately and added 3 new party tray options. I usually get party trays, but have gotten their lunch deals as well. My to-go are salmon avocado rolls, eel avocado. Their tuna isn't good so I avoid them if I could.

You're not here for high quality; you pay for what you get.“

“Great Customer service, very friendly on Both the servers and the Sushi chefs, food is always fresh for both take out and Dine in, great cocktail selection and desserts as well, is always a pleasure to come back to this place, never disappoints me.“

“Enjoyed our meal.

I had several sushi options, some of the apps an a craft cocktail . All excellent. Server was extremely helpful. I cat rember the name of the app but it was a bakes rice item with sauceand it was amazing . It was on the happy hour list of Apps .

They do have “ plain “ rolls if you’d like they just are not listed on the menu.“

“Noribar consistently delivers high-quality kosher sushi. The ingredients are fresh, the menu offers great variety, and everything is beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, and service is always on point. A top-tier kosher sushi spot.“

“Magnifico todo, excelente lugar, trato, y todo buenísimo!! Repetiremos seguro!“

Sushi Laeem Review

Hi there, I grew up in Flatbush! They have great sushi, especially the salmon — I love it.
I go there to order sushi and highly recommend it here!

By: Shmuel Meyer“

“Nice and cool in this sweltering weather and happy hour prices from 3 to 7 on a Sunday!❤️❤️❤️“

“I am bias , since i got a taste from this restaurant , whether lakewood or Flatbush , it’s always a delight. Never found any place that can match the Poke Ball they make. Its been 8yrs since i got to taste the food of “ THAT SUSHI SPOT” and every time it hits the SPOT!!… try it and you will never regret it.“

“I had such a great experience at Ginza Sushi today, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend and I decided to go on a casual date, and it turned into one of those meals that just hits perfectly in every way—food, service, atmosphere, everything.

We ended up ordering five different rolls, and I’m so glad we did because it gave us a chance to try a variety—and every single one was honestly amazing. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, which is the most important thing for me.

Each roll had its own unique flavor, and none of them felt repetitive or boring. The rice was seasoned just right—not too sweet, not too sticky—and it held together perfectly without falling apart when picked up. The portions were also really satisfying. Sometimes sushi spots give tiny rolls that leave you still hungry, but here it felt like we got a good amount for what we ordered.

Another thing that really stood out was how fast the food came out. We barely had to wait, which made the whole experience even better. It’s such a plus when you’re hungry and don’t have to sit around forever. Even though the service was quick, it didn’t feel rushed—they still took care in how everything was presented.

Speaking of service, it was genuinely so good. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. They checked in at the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and were just overall friendly and polite. It made the whole meal feel smooth and stress-free.

What I also appreciated was how clean everything was—from the tables to the presentation of the food. It just adds to that feeling of trust when you’re eating sushi, especially.

Overall, this place is definitely a great choice whether you’re going on a date, hanging out with friends, or just craving good sushi. Between the freshness of the food, the fast service, and the comfortable atmosphere, it really stands out as a spot I would 100% come back to.

If you’re thinking about trying Ginza Sushi, I would absolutely recommend it. Today’s experience was easily a 10/10 for me, and it’s now one of my go-to sushi spots. 🍣“

“Good was delicious Service was great“

“I don't typically often order from silver rice because they're bit small in the portion side, they have unconventional food packaging containers and they're on the pricey side. However when it comes to the quality of the food they're worth it. I just had to Nagi rice cup and a seaweed salad I literally can't stop licking my chopsticks. It was so GOOD!. Even got better as you dug into the cup lol If you're looking for something different and on the lighter side that was just at the spot. So rice is a good option.“

“My husband and I have eaten in mikawa twice before, the food is delicious, the vegetables are very fresh so is the sushi , I had the soup with noodles with plenty chicken and vegetables in a big bowl. The service is very attentive and cordial. We are planing to go back this coming Wednesday with a group of four, they are looking forward to. We’re very surprised of their prices not expected to be so competitive you would not break the bank. We’re very thankful to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. Respectfully, Lawrence and Laura stelter“

“Dropped by as this restaurant is directly next to the N train station at Kings Highway. The miso soup was nice and enjoyed their tempura plate.

The lunch special is especially good—three rolls for $12.50. The sushi was well done and tasted good.“
