World class sushi here. Fish is super fresh and the rolls are creative and very well done. Service was good, I really enjoyed the experience and will be back! Highly recommend!

Sushi was oddly spicy. Like it had been coated in wasabi during prep. Noodle soup had NO flavor whatsoever and the shrimp in it was dried out. Matcha mochi was fully melted and tasted like spinach.

I am impressed, Hamachi Sushi was actually cool. Friendly staff and great atmosphere all year round. I honestly have no words that can possibly explain how great the items that I got were. The employees were really helpful, smiled a lot, felt genuine. Certainly will come back to that place always.

Got delivery through seamless. Pretty good Bento box. Got the Salmon Terriyaki and it came with rice, shumi, california roll, miso soup and salad. The food was good, just a little bit luke warm by the time it got to me.

Food poisoning! Ordered salmon roll on a Sunday night --other reviews are right, it was delivered warm and tasted "fishy." Also ordered shrimp tempura roll, which was mostly fried and very little shrimp. and woke up in cold sweats and have been vomiting all day today! I hear nyc fish deliveries are on Tuesdays so it could have been poor timing, but nonetheless I've never had food poisoning before and this was rough. It's been a really hot week so perhaps their fish refrigeration wasn't ready for the heat. Don't serve it if it's not good though! To be fair, though, delivery was really fast and one thing on the menu that stood out was the fried vanilla ice cream -- was really good.

DO NOT EAT HERE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A VEG. Ordered two rolls an avo and a shiitake avo and miso eggplant. The rolls had fish eggs on them despite that I wrote in the comments section of both rolls please no fish eggs I am a vegetarian. The ones that didn't have fish eggs tasted very off. I only had a few pieces. Despite barely eating anything I woke up the next morning sick to my stomach and threw up for hours. It was the only non packaged food I ate yesterday so it was without a doubt this food. I also paid a dollar to add avocado to my shiitake roll and it was not added. Total ripoff. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

3.5 stars Not sure why all the 1-star super negative reviews - I order here a lot when working late, and while not the best sushi in the world it's fair for the price. I typically get sashimi, so I taste only the fish, and can't recall ever having a piece that tasted off. If you get a combo and select the salad as your extra, be forewarned that it's diced up iceberg with a cup of dressing - no tomato, carrots or cucumbers. Never have experienced the one hour delivery issues that others have complained about either, although I have had my fair share of rude delivery men interactions - eg., not wanting to bring the food up to my floor and telling me to come to the lobby...isn't that part of the delivery? Occasionally have forgotten an item in the order, but I will say the one time I called to let them know they sent the missing item.

Excellent lunch specials.

I eat here quite a bit. I usually eat the same thing and each time it's always tasty. I don't eat raw Fish so I can't comment of the freshness. I can recommend the sweet potato roll, and avocado rolls are great. The seaweed salad is good but they put a lot of romain lettuce under the seaweed to beef it up a bit so there isn't much there. Lost a star because one time the delivery took almost two hours.

The only thing worse than the sushi was the delivery guy who screamed at me in the lobby of my office building for not hurrying down after one call. It's a 20 floor building during lunch hour so you do the math or figure it out how long it took me to get downstairs... He claimed he was busy, but not sure who else he could be possibly be delivering too with sushi this bad (actually feel obligated to write this review as I eat- IT'S that bad). If you're ordering from around this area, stick to Akimato unless you want to feel like the biggest moron in Manhattan for trying this place (that is currently how I feel).
I placed a delivery item tonight. I wish I had eaten cold cereal instead. First of all, the food was delivered over an hour after ordering. That is the least of the problems. Now, lets talk about the food. I ordered three different rolls. All three rolls arrived with the same bright orange chewed up fish. it was either on top of the roll, or inside of the roll. It was like someone had gathered all of the leftover fish, threw in some orange dye, and gave it a big whirl in the food processor. Nasty and not found in nature. The vegetable tempura was the least objectionable food item. Veggies, deep fried in a thick, chunky paste of batter. Way too much batter. I just hope I don't get sick.

Terrible, both rolls were made wrong, and looked and tasted like crap...threw the whole meal out. And delivery guy was a j**** DO NOT ORDER

Ordered from Seamless, which has a 4.5 star rating for this place. -The delivery guy was a dick, chewed me out at the door for "living too far away" (it was a mile at most.) and forgot my rice and bottle of water. -My vegetarian roll had fish roe accidentally scattered on a few pieces. Gross. -Who the f*** puts wasabi in a cup mixed in with the ginger?
CJ S.
It's too bad there's no ZERO stars! Like other people, I didn't check Yelp and just went by Seamless. What a mistake. Ordered: Seaweed Salad - very little and soggy to the point it wasn't good. Sunshine Roll - old tasting Salmon Pepper - soggy, gross! Delivery guy: WTH is up with this man?! He refused to come upstairs then yelled and called me like 4x to come down, then to open the door. When he did come to the door he did nothing but yell at me for not opening the door quickly enough. I've never had a delivery guy be that rude, ever.

Like the rest, I was deceived by Seamless. I usually don't do anything without checking the Yelp reviews so it's partially my own fault. This was honestly the worst sushi I've ever had. Not to mention the delivery man launched a full on assault of my office door when he arrived - note to the delivery staff: if the door is locked, KNOCK. Please do not attempt to take the door down like a fireman attempting to save helpless children from a building inferno. It's not that serious.
