Very nice people running the place and extensive menu at decent prices. The sushi cuts are uneven and some of the rolls are heavy handed on the sauces. Maybe better for quick takeout.

Amazing fresh sushi every time! The owners are the nicest people. Food is incredible. Everything is so good.

Really enjoyed the food here! I got the Hwe Dup-Bap and thought it was a good amount of food for the money. It came with a miso soup and side of white rice. There was a generous amount of sashimi on it, that was all great quality. The owners were so kind and gave me a sample of sushi when I was picking up my order. Highly recommend!

Very good sushi. Good selection and friendly service. We have only ordered takeout from them.

Decided to come here for lunch and I am glad I did. It is a small mom and pop place and super cute. Does not fit more than 17 people (according to the fire sign). I got the 8 piece sushi b special and added an Ikura sushi. The soup tastes authentic, does not taste powdery like some places. The salad has a slight kick to it but so yummy. Has little pieces of salmon in it and crab meat. The pieces of sushi were thick and fresh. I was stuffed and couldn't finish, had to leave 2 california rolls. Total came out to $23.30 (not including tip). I would definitely come back here. Might be my new fav sushi spot. I can see the place probably gets busy during the weekdays since the courts are around there.

Sushi here is fresh and ON POINT They're super quick and the owner always hooks me up with new experimental roll samples while I wait

This place has gone way downhill. Or used to be good before Covid but now they have old fishy fish, and poor quality Ingeedients overall. They also have the rolls be mainly rice while before they were generous with the fish. It is really unfortunate to see how much this place has gone down in quality. I have tried eating here several times the past year and all have been the same experience. I would not recommend it.

Consistently the best sushi in town. I ordered a lot for a party and every roll was absolutely amazing! The highlight of the night. As always, the chef put in some extra rolls which is very generous and makes me feel like they appreciate my business. I will continue to order from them weekly.

I hear this place may get shut down for health violations. So I wanted to share my experience. I've ordered here many times, I gave them an amazing review 3 years ago. Over the past year, I've ordered a few times and it has been disgusting. Fish was fishy - salmon, tuna and yellowtail in particular - and the crab was also fishy somehow. The other rolls, volcano, macs roll and miso nara roll were bland with a bad fish flavor. Kani salad is not what you think, don't order it. Even california roll was mostly rice and the avocado is brown.

Excellent sushi. Owners are friendly and usually give free samples while you pay and they are always so good. A local gem.
Exceptionally good sushi, value, and service. A top tier sushi restaurant.

Of the sushi places I have tried in town this is far and away the best option when it comes to the quality of food. This is more of a place for "takeout", but if looking for good sushi it's a good option for New City.

This was a surprisingly underwhelming and disappointing experience. This place clearly has a strong reputation in the area, and that vibe was all over the establishment when I walked in to grab my lunch. Everyone was very nice, and the sushi chef behind the counter generously gave me a huge piece of a spicy tuna-dominant free sample. I'm willing to believe this could have just been an off day and/an anomaly, but in the moment it was just not good.I actually chose New City Sushi last week because it was National Cupcake Day and there was a neighboring establishment that seemed to be a viable destination to ring in this not-exactly-legit holiday. I work a little further north in Rockland so it's also difficult to find decent sushi that's not inexplicably being sold in a pizza place (I know. Mystifying.). This was probably a 15-minute drive or so, which is right around my limit for a lunchtime adventure. This was my first time going into New City, and while it was definitely a bit more chaotic than the area surrounding my office, it wasn't too hard to find some parking right down the street. From what I could tell, New City Sushi is one of several sushi establishments I've been to within the past few months that doesn't seem interested in reopening for dine-in in the wake of COVID. Certainly within their rights (and for what it's worth, my favorite sushi place, Kenko Sushi in Lincoln Park, NJ has not either), but given my experience here, it's hard not to wonder if the quality may have gone a little downhill as a result. As mentioned, I was provided with a free sample (always a nice touch), which was tasty. It was predictably a little spicy/flavorful but honestly is something I'd get on its own. Unfortunately though, it was the highlight of my meal. I ordered the MACS (which stands for mango, avocado, crab and shrimp tempura) Roll ($10) and Volcano Roll ($13.50). The presentation value was interesting; as you can see from the attached, the Volcano Roll was assembled in what looked to be a flower blossom pattern, with the primary contents of the roll in the middle. Intriguing idea, but it didn't really work. The actual rolls lining the outside were cut in a slant downwards to accommodate the interior, and as a result it was very difficult to actually scoop and keep the "blossom" toppings on the roll. Not sure what the thought process was beyond the initial presentation value. To add to that mild annoyance though, the roll was very bland, probably the worst volcano roll I've had to date. It just didn't have any flavor, and the overreliance on the crunch and rice overpowered everything else. It was also very dry, which is a bit unusual in my experience with this type of roll. Adding some soy/eel sauce, or maybe some kind of chipotle mayo drizzle could have gone a long way here.The MACS was equally disappointing although that was at least easier to eat. It tasted and looked like it had some soy sauce on it, but this was also just as bland as the Volcano. I'm a big fan of mango inclusion in a sushi roll (there's a great one at Honshu in downtown JC), but the mango in this didn't have much of a taste and based on texture wasn't quite ripe yet.Again, this seems to be an almost universally acclaimed spot. I'm really not sure what happened here. The price point is really good, especially for special rolls, and the free sample I got WAS tasty. Hopefully they open up for seating because I would be willing to try them again in that capacity though I am going to cross them off my list for future lunchtime excursions.

The food was very tasty here however the next day after eating I didn't feel so good. I did recover after some bed rest. Not sure if it was the food or something else

We love this place! We lived in NYC so we can be a but picky but this place is great! My son loves the egg sushi- tomago and roe. They portions are generous and the rice is made well. The service is fast. Its also very quiet, relaxing and peaceful inside.
