Today I went there as usual for my beer and bao buns. The manager wearing a white sweater think Latino was sooooooo rude to me. no customer manners. Zero manners he needs to be replaced or I am never coming back. The bar girl and security was amazing

I’m from the area born & raised and I BEEN going to mamasushi for years, this my first time writing a review because I feel like they REALLY deserve it. Their kitchen closes at 11 PM I pulled up at 1057. The security was mad nice. Everyone was very kind and they still let me order. Most places would’ve turned me away. The manager especially , which I think his name was Jake or something with a J, he was VERY polite. This been my spot but ima def give them the props for how they were tonight. Thanks again

First and foremost, I want to emphasize that MamaSushi remains one of my favorite dining destinations in Harlem. The food, the atmosphere, and the consistency in service from certain members of the staff have always made this restaurant a local gem. However, after my most recent visit, I feel an ethical and community-driven responsibility to address a serious concern that cannot continue to be overlooked. On October 3rd, 2025, my daughter and I dined at MamaSushi. As temperatures have begun to drop, the establishment’s doors remained open well into the evening; creating a noticeably chilly environment. When I chose to keep my hood up to stay warm, the Front of House Manager approached us in a rude, condescending, and dismissive manner, demanding that we remove our hoodies. His tone and delivery were completely unprofessional and lacked both empathy and hospitality; particularly considering that my daughter and I are anemic and were simply trying to remain comfortable in a drafty space. I’ve noticed that many seem hesitant to speak up about this individual’s conduct; perhaps out of fear or avoidance; but I refuse to allow his silent abuse and antagonism toward women and staff to go unaddressed any longer. As a community stakeholder and advocate for respectful service industry standards in Harlem, I will be raising this issue at our next community business meeting to ensure this matter is formally acknowledged and addressed. No customer or employee should endure that type of energy in an establishment that thrives on community support. The saving grace of the evening, however, was our incredible waitress; a radiant and kind soul who made the experience bearable and reminded me why I’ve continued to return to MamaSushi over the years. I wish I could recall her name; it may possibly be Queen Angie” (and I hope she forgives me for that!), but I do know she mentioned that Kaity, another one of my all-time favorite servers, is her best friend; and that connection makes perfect sense. Both of these women embody grace, professionalism, and excellence. They are the true heartbeat of MamaSushi. In fact, I strongly believe that women like them should be promoted to Front of House Managers; they have the temperament, leadership, and hospitality skills that create memorable guest experiences. Until this current FOH manager is investigated and replaced, I will continue to advocate publicly for accountability. Harlem deserves hospitality leadership that respects both its patrons and its hardworking staff. To the owners: please recognize and uplift the talent you already have within your team. The women who save your brand each night deserve to be celebrated; not overshadowed by a man who leads with ego instead of empathy. Juanita Purcell Community Stakeholder, Harlem NYC
Not coming back after this disgusting mojito I wish I had seen it before my girlfriend and I took a zip. One leaves weren’t crushed just thrown in there whole and rotten and with the entire stems too wt!??. One would think a bartender would at least make sure they’re serving fresh or good looking mint leaves before they put them in someone’s drink. I saw something dark in there I just had to take it out and see what it was sadly it was already too late. Who ever the mediocre bartender was and served that should be fired immediately.
Another thing they always play super loud music don’t read the room people can’t even hear their thoughts or speak to each other. I thought It’s a restaurant not a club smh
