“Wonderful view of city skyline coupled with amazing food and services making this place a must visit. The menu is diverse from several styles of Asian cuisine, Thai, Northern Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, all with quality ingredients, cook with passion for the American palate. Their drink menu is amazing and the Lychee Martini is heavenly! Most importantly the portion great for the reasonably priced items. I would either take a cab or subway. Parking is not easy!Kid-friendliness: A place for families of all size!“
“I wish I had known about this spot sooner. I've been ordering their daily benton on their website. The food is so yummy and a well balanced meal. They deliver for free in LIC and give you $1 discount if you pay in cash. So each benton ends up costing only $10 with tax and its free delivery! Definitely recommend ordering on their website before 10am to get you order in to deliver the day of or you can book up to 4 days in advance.“
“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.“
“The experience at this restaurant was incredible from the moment you step in. The decor is beautiful with flowers surrounding you. The staff is attentive and nice. The food was incredible especially the fried vegetable dumplings. The bathroom was clean. There was enough space and privacy between tables. I highly recommend coming here!“
“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.“
“We had an outstanding experience at Rosella last night. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top notch. Our server James was engaging and got us out of our comfort zone by surprising us with most of the dishes we were served. My husband who is not a sushi fan is now a sushi fan. We can’t wait to come back!“
“chef leo is extremely skillful and did a fantastic job giving us the best experience, the ingredients were extremely fresh, and chef leo was also walkin us through each dish, so we were aware of each. The atmosphere is beautiful and comfortable, highly recommend if you’re in “
“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.“
“This spot opened up a month ago, and I finally came here for lunch. Service was quick. I got the bento box for $22, which consists of a choice between soup or salad, chicken teriyaki, and a choice of hand roll or Maki. I got the shrimp tempura Maki style. Portions were perfect for lunch. The ambiance of this place is Instagram worthy. I'd definitely return for happy hour.“
“First time I went early and quality was impressive but second time quality was off. Got the Alaska, spicy tuna and tunascallion and it was okay. The green tea creme brulee was not my favorite as it was so fatty and sweet. Would not get that again. Got the Madi which was my favorite fish. Spicy tuna was my favorite out if all of them and the eel cucumber special was okay.. Not again“
“One of the most upscale vegan restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of going to. Terrific Asian foods with veggie flair, and unqiue cocktails to boot. Try the Bang Bang Broccoli and thank me later... its tempura heaven!Vegetarian options: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!Dietary restrictions: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!“
“This place is great. I came at 3 p.m. and waited in line for about 10 minutes. It was a new experience for me. Hand rolls here start at 18$. For me, an order of 6 hand rolls was just right. The service staff here are cute and friendly. They use good, clean, fresh ingredients. I like it “
“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.“
“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.“
“This is one of my new favorite omakase spots in the city. Not a single piece of fish was chewy. Every piece was so fresh. Love how they start with the less fatter pieces and work their way up. The experience got better and better with every piece. You can tell it was well thought out. It was one of my friends first time having omakase and he fell in love with sushi by m!“
“I got the signature set, which I would recommend if it’s your first time. Everything is well prepared, yummy, and fresh. My favorite from this one is the coconut shrimp curry. I also got the brunch set and really enjoyed this one. It’s very fun with a variety of things I wouldn’t really think of or get in a hand roll place. Surprisingly, my favorite piece from the brunch set is the avocado one. The outside is very crunchy, sucha fun texture with the avocado.Very busy on the weekend. Would recommend having a reservation. If not, they could do walk ins but be prepared to sit outside/not at the counter, which is what I did. I personally would prefer to sit at the counter for the experience.“
“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.“
“First of all, this is my second time appreciating the sushi sets! I specially love eating omakase, I had been tried a variety of place. But, at last I decided the best of this store, I could really taste the freshener of a variety of fish because I really can sense the brilliant through my tongue! Price are affordable in comparison of others. Environment brings good vibes. I definitely will back and back!“
“This tiny restaurant is reminiscent of an authentic Japanese eatery, from the decor, to the service and importantly the food. It offers a style of hot pot that is more like a stew. The pork belly broth is full of flavor. The bean sprouts and the cabbage gave the stew a nice crunch. A very hearty and filling meal. The service was outstanding. I will be back for sure.“
“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.“
“Izakaya MEW is such a gem in midtown. It's a busy spot for good reason! The entrance is easy to miss, but I felt like I stepped back into Japan once inside. It was quite busy for lunch on a Thursday and a reservation is probably recommended. Great food and quick service.“
“Love this place! The sushi is so fresh and tasty. And reasonably priced. Free green tea pudding with Yelp check in! The pudding is topped with a spoonful of sweetened red beans. A delicious dessert! My favorite is salmon and here, it's melt in your mouth fresh and yummy. My favorite dish here is the Salmon Lover. It's salmon four ways plus a side of kani salad with some roe on top. Thick generous portions of sashimi, also has sushi, salmon avocado roll, and a grilled salmon collar (when available, otherwise you get 2 pieces of salmon belly). This place is so good, in one week, I went 3 times and still not tired of it. Not crazy about the chicken kaarage. The pieces are too small so when fried, it becomes dry and loses its juicy tenderness. Tried some skewers. A tad on the dry side. I'd stick with the sushi. Though the skewers were very popular with the kids at the table. Service. Attentive. Tea constantly being refilled. Decor. It's a small place. Lots of wood decor. The space is narrow with seating to the left and right. In front, a few private mini booth rooms covered with a curtain, line the side of the restaurant. These can seat up to 4 people. There is also a small party room downstairs. In the back, you can sit in front of the sushi chefs if you like, at a high counter.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“March 2024:We went here a 2nd time for dinner. This time on the weekend. The restaurant was full. It was hectic. Unfortunately also with the service. This time the stress was clearly noticeable. The dishes were no longer always explained beautifully. That's a real shame, especially when it comes to the chef's work. You would have to take this time because it is not exactly standard sushi. The creations require explanation to be fully enjoyed. You didn't notice anything about the quality of the food. These were still at the highest level. My recommendation: one to two more people in service or otherwise accept fewer reservations. The noise level was also unpleasantly high because of all the people.That's why now only 4 instead of 5 stars.September 2023We were here for dinner. I recommend a reservation. We had the sushi and handroll menu. The quality of the sushi I selected was the best I have ever had, and I have been to many Japanese restaurants, including Masa in NYC. The quality was excellent and even with the small toppings, which fit perfectly, it was a really great experience. It was so good that we ordered some more sushi instead of dessert. The service was attentive. There is also a good selection of sake and Japanese beers here.“
“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.“
“By far the best omakase experience I've had in NYC. I went with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and we do omakase a lot since it's our favorite. This place blew our mind — you have to do the bougie omakase at the counter — SO AMAZING. The ambiance, staff, quality of food and chef was truly outstanding and so affordable. I'll be a regular here and can't wait to be back soon.“
“If you are in south Brooklyn and in the mood for high-end sushi, and I mean Michelin quality sushi, you could ditch a ride to the city and go to this place. I was amazed by the exquisite taste and creativity of their sushi. And for this quality the price was not bad. We had an 18-piece course for $125, and it was worth every single penny. The place is very small, so prior reservation is a must“
“Good sushi, good place, good people. They have a very cute decoration and a kid-friendly menu, too. One of the best sushi places in North Jersey.Kid-friendliness: The choo choo train that carries the plates is a big attraction for kids. The owners communicate so well with kids. They make cotton candy in front of kids and with them. And they have many options for picky kids. My 7 year-old daughter loved everything about this place.“
“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!“
“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.“
“The food and service were second to none. We ordered the full 17 piece omakase and couldn't be happier with the quality of food or the atmosphere. Chefs Kevin and Kenny were friendly hosts that created amazing pieces of sushi and were outstanding people to talk to. Truly an amazing experience! Will definitely go again.“
“We had a phenomenal omakase dinner. Pretty much all the dishes were fantastic, from start to finish. A special shout-out to the salmon nigiri with foie gras and the kobe beef nigiri, truly delicious. The sake chosen for the pairing was also very enjoyable, I would recommend that. Overall, a great experience, 5 stars with no hesitation whatsoever.“
“Best Sushi restaurant in NYC! Omg the sushi are all fresh and everything taste good!! Location: It is located in Houston St. The interior is very intimate, but you can wear casual. I wear scrubs (coming from work, im a nurse). Lot of seatings and there is a bar. Service: our server was nice, explains well the sushi that we are eating. The girl in the front desk looked at me and my friend because we are wearing scrubs as if she does not want us to enter. Food: you have to order DOMAKASE! It has everything that you need to eat here! Lol everything is good! My faves are TUNA CONE: omg so good, the spicy mayo is inside the cone as if that is the ice cream and tuna is just so fresh on top. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER: cauliflower never tasted this good, and you can eat the green pea miso spread on its own, that is how good it is. SCALLOP RISOTTO: omg this was the bomb! It will be cooked in front of you! It taste like paella but so much better! KABAYAKI: omg the seabass is sweet as if you are not eating a fish! DONBURI: even though the daikon soup is just a little bit, the wagyu don is soo good! CHEF’s CHOICE SUSHI: everything was delicious and fresh, im not sure the names are but they all good, my favorite was the toro sushi. SPICY TUNA HANDROLL: so good too! Not that spicy. CRABMEAT with CRUNCH SEAWEED: reminds me of tacos because of the crunch! BLACK SESAME PANNA COTTA: my fave cause the black sesame has earthy taste and the panna cotta is so silky smooth. HOJICHA PUDDING: taste like tea and the pudding was so soft, melts in the mouth. PEACH LYCHEE: omg so good, the sake is little bit strong but the combination of the peach and lychee is perfect. WATERMELON COOLER: so refreshing and light. Price rating: 8/10, thats the only thing cause its Michelin Restaurant it will be expensive, but it is so good! Definitely will come back here! If it is your first time go for DOMOKASE. Get the scallop risotto too!“
“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!“
“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!“
“very friendly staff, short wait time, small cozy place,food was very flavorful,n fresh, had the Osamke was delicious and nice size pieces,,also shumia dumplings,we also got the teriyaki salmon bento box was good ,will be coming back to try there Ramen and other dishes they “
