With so many options in the area, it would seem crazy to suggest that Kaiyo could possibly set itself apart. I mean, it's not like the menu is wildly original or anything. However, somehow, Kaiyo's fish selection finds itself absolutely on another level. Sashimi heads rejoice.

Great sushi spot. This is the only place we get sushi for take-out. Regular rolls, special rolls, sushi, sashimi and hot food are all consistently fresh and great quality.

Owners are rude, I walked in a little before closing and they lied to me saying that they, "ran out of sushi" lol
Place is mediocre at best, and it was dirtier than I remember.
So many better options in the area, only go here by your doctors recommendation.

One of the absolute best sushi restaurants I've ever been to! The staff are so kind, the fish is as fresh as can be, the signature rolls are creative and delicious, and the prices are really reasonable!

Kaiyo has become our new sushi spot. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Also the hot food is spot on, the tempura and teriyaki is fantastic. The atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful and quiet meal. The staff is always so friendly and polite. My family and I highly recommend Kaiyo for delicious sushi and Japanese cuisine.
Stopped in for some sushi while in the neighborhood for NYU hospital. I chose Kaiyo because of the high rating on here, however, the rating is not representative. Inside, it just looks like an average, barely decorated neighborhood sushi joint. As soon as I stepped the first thing I noticed was how my shoes stuck to the floor.As I waited for my order, there was a small but steady stream of folks stopping by to pick up their orders, so I was excited for the food. First came the salad, typical cheap sushi restaurant salad, essentially rough slices of iceberg lettuce and some shredded carrot, but hard to tell under the huge amount of the low quality carrot-ginger dressing. It was closer to soup than salad.Next up, I had the three roll lunch: eel & avocado, salmon & avocado, and shrimp tempura. All the fish and avocado were good, at least fresh. The rice was okay as well (not special, but not bad). The two areas of trouble were the nori, which was wet and therefore had no snap, it became almost cloth-like. Also, suboptimal was the sauce, so much cloying eel sauce on both the eel and shrimp rolls. I scraped off as much as I could, but it's corn syrup base stuck effectively.The shrimp tempura was freshly fried. And the servers were friendly.I have no interest in going back though and if you're in the neighborhood, maybe look elsewhere.

Neighborhood family owned restaurants are often serve the best dishes and Kaiyo is no exception. Great Japanese food and generous portions at very decent price. It's small modest and quant but we'll worth the visit !
