Quality of the fishes and variety are great.
No seatings so I brought my Sashimi box to the park after a short wait. ( coffee from next door )

My go-to spot for high quality sushi and sashimi in the city!
I don't normally write bad reviews but this place essentially stole our money. Long story short: during COVID times, my wife and I bought $360 worth of gift cards from their website since eating in was the thing back then - the gift cards were mailed to us. Life got busy and we forgot about the gift cards. Fast forward to last week, I tried using them in store but the cashier said they had $0 balance and were cashed out a few years ago in October 2023. Hard to believe and unable to give them the benefit of the doubt seeing how we don't live with anyone else and we've never set foot in the store until last week. Do not buy any gift cards from them.

id say for the quality of sushi and in comparison to other sushi around the same price point, the price is fair. they use yuzu kosho, which I have not seen many places use, and which really elevates the flavor. the pieces are also sizable!

Went here for an uni shucking class and had an incredible experience!! 10/10, will definitely be going back. We also had the pleasure of having Corey as an instructor who was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun!!

We love Osakana and regularly get sushi grade fish from there. It’s the perfect place for making your own sushi.

Osakana is one of those places I constantly crave in New York. No matter how long I’ve lived here, whenever I’m in the mood for sashimi, it’s always the first spot that comes to mind. We usually get takeout and DIY everything at home, and it’s become a little tradition for us.
Their ingredients are incredibly fresh — the scallops and squid are my absolute favorites, and the rest of their sashimi is always delicious. The only problem is we always end up buying way too much and can’t finish it 😂
I highly recommend this place! You can easily recreate an omakase vibe at home, and it’s even better with a bottle of red or white wine on the side.

Mid chirashi honestly

Been here a few times to pick up some sushi and sashimi. The prices are a bit high for the quality you get. I enjoy their sushi the rice is cooked just right and the toppings on the sushi pieces are tasty. The sashimi is not always cut to a nice texture and I found some of the pieces to be rather fishy. Service is a bit chaotic, they always have trouble finding my order or they give me the wrong item.

I think the truth is, it's just okay! I got the Chirashi first class and I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of fish, but disappointed by the quality. I'd say 1/3 of the pieces would not have passed quality control at a sit in sushi restaurant of any caliber because of how chewy they were.
If I lived nearby and really wanted sushi, maybe it'd be a quick treat from time to time, but otherwise, I'd skip it.

Ordered the nigiri standard- waited for about 10minutes. I’ve been on a mission to find the best sushi spot in the city. Probably one of the best sushi spots I’ve had so far that is privately owned and not a chain. The fish melts in your mouth and the sushi rice is seasoned. Pieces are nice and fat. You’re paying for high quality fish and the prices do reflect its standards. Osakana, you’ll be seeing me soon ;)

Did the Uni shucking experience. The shucking was fun and the sushi was great. But was disappointed by the Uni. The grade of the Maine Uni just wasn't good.

If you like sashimi, this is the best value place you can get for the high quality fish. It sells by pound (minimum order 1/4 pound). We went for the tuna. The bluefin lean was flavorful, medium one was a good balance between flavor and juicy, and the fatty one was juicy and melt in your mouth. We also got the sablefish and would recommend it as well. Everything was fabulous. I believe the kitchen closes 30min before the closing time. Take out only.
