“I loved the place - best sushi and rolls in entire NYC across all the boroughs. Not sure why people are complaining about the price - it is decent for NYC. People have to make money not give the food for free folks.Service- super fast. Ty?For all the negativities- look at the pictures they post- the food look good. Some pictures are just blurred proving pretty much nothing about the quality they complain about.“
“It was a great show. I can’t imagine this as a great food but every thing is better with unlimited saki and amazing companies.My wife and I had a great time. It wasn’t hard to find just under staircase and you felt transported out of New York.The food is amazing. They put up a great show and quality is reasonable. I enjoy the food but you can really drunk with the saki.Amazing restaurant and definitely a visit if you are in town. Experience depends on the host.“

“This place is amazing! Shea is the best, the heart and soul of Rosella. Shea guides your dining experience so you have the best meal. The avocado roll, sashimi, ceviche, all the big rolls are just amazing! You really can order anything and can expect perfection and perfect flavor combinations. Everything about Rosella is thoughtful and the people who work here are the cherry on top. 100% go!“
“I LOVE Ishi so much... This was my favorite omakase experience in NYC! Brought my parents here for their anniversary and their first ever Omakase.The ambiance is lovely. The interior is warm, inviting and intimate. Staff is very welcoming.The food is AMAZING and high quality. Every single piece was delicious and we were so impressed. I will definitely be back. There are so many great omakase places in NYC but this was the first that made me want to revisit even without a special occasion to celebrate.Thank you to the team at Ishi for such a wonderful experience!“
“The flavors in the grab hand roll set were dynamic and delicious. Jesse helped me out with some recommendations and even asked the chef for more sauce on my a-la carte order. I had the hand roll set and had to go back for a little more! Worth checking out.“
“Food here is cooked absolutely right! State of the art. From starters to main course all is superb! Price is perfect. Great combination for a perfect night out. Lobster is tasty and well prepared. Alaskan Cod is amazing. For business or date. Look forward to being back!“

“Visiting from London with a friend, came across this omakase place for a birthday dinner! It was also the chef’s birthday (and I pass my regards for how great the food was). Hugely impressed by the food especially for such an affordable omakase experience, and especially the service which was easy and friendly, and catered for my friend’s birthday so well. An unpretentious and cosy affair.“
“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“The environment is very warm and comfortable, the ingredients are fresh, and the shrimp in the sashimi is so sweet and chewy—I love it so much! The owner is very enthusiastic, and both my friends and I absolutely love it! We will definitely come often.“
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.“
“One of the most upscale vegan restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of going to. Terrific Asian foods with veggie flair, and unqiue cocktails to boot. Try the Bang Bang Broccoli and thank me later... its tempura heaven!Vegetarian options: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!Dietary restrictions: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!“
“Top 2 sushi restaurant around flatiron. More authentic sushi experience with a unique menus and seasonal selection. Omakase by T O W A - I didn’t “W” in the case of my photos. I was back in town for business and was lucky enough to walk in during looting rain. Overall Would eat here again.“
“fair prices which is super rare for nyc sushi ($34 for 6 hand rolls) i love no tipping <3we came at 8pm on a tuesday and the wait was like 30min. the line moved pretty quicklyamazingggg ambiance (all bar seating, my fave kind of seating) and the service is really good. there was a lottttt of hype around this place and while idk if i can say it lived up to the hype, i would def come again“
“We had a great anniversary. We got the 12 piece + 2 hand roll omakase set for $53. The fish was super fresh and the whole meal was about 45min. There’s about 12-15 seats at the counter, so if you want to guarantee seating book a reservation. It was absolutely worth every “
“Come here for the experience.Talented sushi chef - the fish came out distinctly silkier than other places, the torching was perfect (not too much or little) and the proportions were excellent. The team were all very nice and worked well together and it was a... fun! experience. The music was a loud, opinionated mix of pop and country.One complaint - some of the fish wasn't as flavorful or fresh as I'd like. We were the first seating, but the uni tray was half empty and it looked tired. Other fishes weren't as good as other places. I'm assuming this is an issue with them being new and not having the volume yet.“
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Sushi by M exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and energetic. The food was nothing short of exceptional, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. The chefs were not only talented but also incredibly friendly, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Sushi by M to anyone looking for top-notch sushi and a fantastic dining atmosphere.“
“An absolutely amazing experience. Every piece of sushi was meticulously prepared and so so delicious. Your mouth will go on a journey that will leave your taste buds unable to appreciate any other piece of sushi. This place is amazing and we'll definitely be back.“
“Delicious food and amazing service. I took my niece here for the 15-course menu (she loves sushi and cooking) and it was an incredible experience and memory for us. Watching the chefs prepare the food with such care right in front of you and not a single piece missed. There was no piece that at the end you could do without. Will be coming back with my husband and friends.“
“After a long day at work, my girlfriend and I found a quiet retreat in Kimura Motsunabe, a secluded Japanese hot pot eatery in NYC. As we walked in, the gentle melody of quiet Japanese music welcomed us, setting the tone for a serene evening. The service was as kind and gentle as the ambiance, complementing the overall vibe of the restaurant.Our culinary journey started with the Kiss of Fire roll. Its little crispy bites broke up the soft texture of the rice and fish. It was a well-made, standard spicy sushi - a delicious blend of spicy and sweet that we both loved, especially with the added kick from the jalapeno.Next, we indulged in the Mentai Mushroom Trio Udon. The earthy mushroom flavors, coupled with the cooked fish eggs, created a rich, umami taste. The addition of salty pickled ginger gave the dish an extra zing and a fresh, herbal flavor that harmonized well with the earthy mushrooms. The udon was chewy and had a great stir-fried texture.The Hakata Motsu Nabe was a comforting treat for our cold day. The broth was brimming with flavor, and the chewy beef intestines paired perfectly with the sauce. The sweetness of the cabbage and the leek added depth to the dish. It was the leek and the broth that were the real stars, soothing us like a balm after our rough day. We were left wanting more, leading us to order another nabe.The Collagen Nabe was equally satisfying. The pork was flavorful, with the sauce enhancing its taste even more. The pig feet were remarkably clean, with no gamey taste, and the pork belly was plentiful. The spicy broth kept the dish exciting.To finish off the meal, we enjoyed the White Peach Sake Kamikokoro Momo. It was sweet, tasty, and the white peach flavor made it a refreshing accompaniment to our meal.In summary, Kimura Motsunabe offered us a delightful and serene dining experience. This is a place we would highly recommend for its flavorful food, calming ambiance, and kind service.“
“I’ve been to the $300+ omakase and this dinner is a different experience. Don’t expect the long winded explanations and the slow, methodical preparation.13Water is fast and delicious. Our entire meal tasted fresh and each piece was very good.The servers were attentive and quick to fill our water glasses. Overall, a wonderful experience and reasonably priced.“
“Great place to stop by for a simple omakase lunch. Theres a small seating counter in the back for about 10-12 people. We had 10 pieces of fish with 2 rolls. The fish of the day was mackeral and fluke. Some of my favorites were the torched sable fish and scallop. Service was great and the staff were friendly.“
“My friends treated me and my wife to dinner here as an engagement present. We all had a wonderful time and thought the food was top notch. On top of the fresh fish and impeccable presentations, I really appreciated that Don was so accommodating to dietary restrictions. Many restaurants serving omakase are unwilling to make changes. I would absolutely come back again and recommend this to anyone.“
“TL;DR: It was FIRE!!!This was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had. From the friendliest Chefs to the amazing flavorful melt in your mouth courses . Chef Ben and Chef Kong were very polite and educated us on what we were eating and had some lovely jokes. It was great to see everything prepared right in front of you and fresh. The pace of when the courses came out was perfect and not rushed at all. The place is small but understandable why they do the reservations the way they do it. I highly recommend going here!“
“Omakase is pretty good for the price. Most of their fish are fresh and flavors are good. Their cod, uni, and scallop were great. Their amberjack appetizer was not as fresh. I suspect most restaurants try to mask their less fresh items with sauce and other flavors and put it up as an appetizer. Atmosphere was crowded and noisy. Service was fast, taking away our plates before we were even done chewing. Didn't mind it too much but it did feel a little rushed.“
“Ordered a salmon donburi lunch set (7 pieces) for about $20, found it to be about average if not slightly above average. There was a nice portion of salmon roe/ikura included with the donburi, as well as a small side salad. I think for the price, it'll be hard to beat this quality. Nothing amazing by any means, but certainly decent and far from bad - a great value and reasonable price for sushi, I will be back to try the nigiri and sashimi!“
“Pros: Good food! After a few visits we tried all of the small plates and rolls on the menu and everything was delicious. Fun cocktails. Cozy and comfortable. (Try to get seated on the perimeter of the space, the tables in the center of the room can feel a little claustrophobic.) Fairly priced. Cons: Uneven service. On two separate visits, the server forgot my drink. The server on our last visit was downright surly; she really seemed like she did not want to be there at all and spent most of the evening ignoring us. And, also during our last visit, we almost turned around and left because it looked like the place was closed. It was dusk, all the lights and signage were turned off, tables and chairs were stacked out front and a large pile of cardboard recycling was waiting to be picked up. I only saw that there were lights and people in the back of the space when I was out front.“
“Has such a yummy and pleasant omakase experience in Astoria on a week night, thanks to That Place. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated and clean. The host/server was so attentive and sweet during the entire 1.5hr experience - my water/tea was refilled almost automatically after every sip. Same is also included in the omakase pricing which is really nice for drinkers ! The chefs worked together and created really delicious pieces- every one was super yummy. Their matcha ice cream and cheesecake were also so good ! Overall, was such a great experience and will definitely be back again for a weeknight or weekend dinner.“
“This sushi restaurant left a deep impression on me. Their sushi is delicious and soft and glutinous, which gives me an endless aftertaste. At the same time, their production process is excellent, and each sushi is carefully made and matched, will come back for sure.“
“My family and I went to the Lobster club for dinner and in short it was amazing. The food was so unique but soo delicious, there wagyu dishes especially. Of course we had to get a lobster dish which we ended up getting two orders of, the restaurant itself is so beautiful. As soon as you walk in you see a beautiful scenery. The service was good cant complain about anything they were able to accommodate for my moms birthday and bring out a cake which was very nice and there dessert selection is very unique as well! Overall I would definitely come back, this restaurant is definitely on the pricer side but it definitely worth it once you take that first bite!“
“This place is hard to find at night but it’s a hidden gem! They have a Japanese and Korean fusion menu that has fun and flavorful dishes. The creamy kimchi udon was to die for!! The sashimi don was also a knock out! Well… the pictures speak for itself. lol I definitely will be going her again. It has a nice aesthetic downstairs. The only downside of this place was that our waitress wasn’t the kindest but that did not take away from the overall dining experience and food quality. We ate DOWN!“
“Our meal at IWAK was good enough to call it a Williamsburg gem after one try. Great rolls, pork buns, and sake. The service and atmosphere felt more reminiscent of Japan than a number of other sushi spots.Excited to have a new sushi favorite nearby!“
“Nestled discreetly in the East Village, The Office of Mr. Moto beckons with its cozy atmosphere and impeccable hospitality. The setting exudes exclusivity, providing an ideal canvas for a memorable dining experience.While the service remains outstanding, it's important to remember that taste is subjective; while some sushi selections stand out, others are merely satisfactory, in my opinion, especially considering the premium pricing. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the charming chef, whose skill and dedication are evident in every dish.Despite this, The Office of Mr. Moto continues to attract patrons seeking an intimate ambiance and flawless service.“
“I have been here for both dinner and lunch. I prefer the dinner menu over their lunch menu because of the bigger portions and wider variety, but the dinner menu is available at lunch as well. For dinner, my partner got the braised short rib which he was very pleased with. I got the set of four hand rolls which all tasted fresh and delicious. The hand rolls are more like open sushi tacos. There was a lot of filling so I ended up being fuller than I expected. For lunch, we had the lunch bento set which included a small portion of an entrée, a miso soup or salad, and a hand roll of your choice for about $25 depending on your entree. The teriyaki is on the milder side. Overall, I am happy to have this little gem in Brooklyn. Besides the good food, service has always been exceptional too.“
“I was visiting from Florida to see family and we decided to come here for my birthday. I haven’t been back since Chef David left and I was a bit nervous of coming back but I went for it anyways, all I can say is WOW! From Bob Moses playing in the background to the exceptional hospitality and delicious Omakase. I can say I’ll be back every time I visit thank you Sushi Dojo you truly are a gem!“
“This place is fantastic! Much-needed for the neighborhood - incredible staff, food, and ambience. The sake selection is unique and extensive, and the sushi was the best I’ve had in years. I went here for breakfast and dinner while staying at the hotel next door. My new go-to spot! Excellent food and service. The sashimi of the day for 2 was incredibly fresh and delicious - the tuna literally melted in my mouth! The "sushi bombs" prepared by the chef were outstanding, including eel, sea urchin, and squid. We finished with some delicious fried chicken, cooked to order. All this in a low-key, minimalist setting in the Lower East Side. Go!“
“Absolutely my favorite place for sushi. When you order the omakase you aren't just served different cuts of fish you may be familiar with like bluefin tuna but rather get a series of carefully crafted pieces combining flavors you'd never expect. Whenever friends visit New York, I always suggest Sushi “

“Truly enjoyed my first omakase experience. I got so lucky to have Yama-san to be my chef for the night. His skills were amazing and each nigiri was served with a smile and hospitality. I am sure there are omakases out there that deserve the highest praises but for me, I’ll hold this experience dear because each and every course I had were so heartwarming and I could see the integrity in Yama-san as a sushi chef. I came to this omakase alone but I did not feel as such because he made me feel welcomed. I did not think I would learn so much in an hour, while being served food. It was such a delightful experience. I hope to have him again next time I visit NYC.“
“'Twas a pleasant experience. Itamae DC made my experience a good one as this omakase dinner was one to remember with the unique and innovative courses that I have never had before.This was the first time I had potato chips on any of my omakase courses. Fish was fresh and exceptionally prepared. Atmosphere was different from other restaurants like this, but that is okay. Getting out of my comfort zone - that's our purpose of living, right?Itamae DC was down to earth and made conversation, which made me feel very welcomed during my dinner here. Prices are reasonable for experiences like this in the city.“
“I discovered Shinn East when they first opened either right before or during Covid. Till this date, this spot is my go to omakase given their high value for money offering. It is extremely well priced for the amount of pieces that you get and the quality and freshness of their fish is excellent. Service is also excellent. Both indoor and outdoor seating are really good. Highly recommend.“
“I'm a picky eater and was very nervous about eating at U Omakase. I was truly satisfied with everything. I believe that every course was better than the one before it. The staff was great! They gave every detail about each dish and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend it. For those nervous, "picky eaters" out there, just go and take in all the flavors and enjoy. Thank you to U Omakase for such a fun night.“
“Good vibe. Good sushi. Ordered crispy rice and edamame to start. Latter was just ok. Crispy rice wasn't what we expected but still good--a rice type cracker with heap of topping. For mains we got chirashi and sashimi deluxe The salmon was excellent as was one of the white fish. Other fish was ok but not mind blowing. Had the mushroom soup instead of miso and it had a stronger taste than I expected and killer hot. Beware of that. Unfiltered sake choice was good and sweet little sake glasses. We'll come back for sure with a revised order.“
“I recently experienced the Taikun Omakase splendor in Miami. I Felt in love with it, but what impressed me the most is somehow they new I really enjoyed a Blueberry muffin and a glass of milk after dinner. So at the end of the experience they brought me 2 blueberry muffins and a glass of milk. First time "someone" did this out of the blue....Я.А“
“I’m a bou fan so when I was in town I had to check out the west loop location. All the spots have such a unique feel- this was very upscale compared to the disco and hip hop themed in NYC but equally as amazing. Have never left a bou unhappy!!“
“Sushi chef was heavy on the fish. Staff were adorably kind. Place is small and neat. Most decent sushi place in the entire neighborhood.I got the salmon dinner and an uni sushi. It comes with a side of either miso soup or salad. I could not finish it and had a cute little to go box for my leftovers.Price is a bit steep since I chose a moderately expensive dish plus the uni which was market price. There are more affordable options on their menu.“
“A good friend from South Carolina recommended this restaurant. I must say this was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The owner of the restaurant is extremely nice and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Wu for telling us about this wonderful restaurant.“
“First, the chefs let the fish speak for themselves- fresh, flavorful, inspired. Second, owner Eric and staff deliver personal attention- friendly, professional, elegance. Finally, atmosphere is intimate & friendly - whether you come alone, couple, or as a group, you’ll find friends and celebration - KANPAI!“
“This was such an amazing experience, truly. I have been to Nobu and I would choose Sushi 295 over it EVERY SINGLE TIME. The staff is amazing, the fish is amazing, I am so glad we stumbled upon it because it will be my husband and I's go to from here on out. Amazing staff, and amazing fish, WOW!!“
“Cocktail is great and I recommend the ones with matcha. Seafood is fresh and well done with the combination and flavor. However their hot dishes are ok, such as the tempura rice, grilled soft crab. Wish their hot dishes are as good as other ones!“
“Cocktails are awesome! Food is good, but, very salty which is typical for Asian cuisine. Salmon was frozen, not fresh, and foe the price, that is disappointing.Cleanliness can be worked on. Floor and bar top is sticky. BATHROOM badly in need of upgrading, and CLEANING!“
