My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!

I'll definitely visit here every time I'm in and I highly recommend you do the same I can't recall the drinks I ordered but they were amazing (taste and strength). I walked into the well-lit establishment and the first thing I noticed was the music playing in the background. A wide range of music was played throughout the night and everything fit.

One of the best restaurants in NYC hands down. From the food, to the atmosphere, to the staff, all around 10/10. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back

Rosella delivered one of the most exceptional dining experiences I’ve had this year! Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, but two sleeper hits stood out: the house endive salad, so good I couldn’t resist drinking every last drop of the dressing—and I’m not ashamed to admit it. And the pickled mussel sushi? Pure magic. I closed my eyes while chewing, and for a moment, it felt like I’d transcended—an out-of-body experience I’ll be chasing again. Outstanding food and impeccable service.

Finally after walking by so many times (I live down the street) I was able to slip in last minute for a Friday night dinner with my parents who were in town visiting. My mom had mentioned several times how much she wanted to try Rosella and we were able to snag a last minute bar seating for the three of us. Just by quickly observing, you could tell what an amazing flow this staff has together- everything is clean, perfect volume of music was going, everyone was warm, welcoming, and the space is really cozy and feels intimate and cool without being pretentious or relaxed. Celia was incredibly kind to us as we were squeezed in for a quick dinner in between another reservation- but never once made us feel hurried or rushed.
We came for light bites as we have been eating our way through Manhattan and have been in a week long food coma- this was the perfect night for Rosella. The miso soup made with farro was creamy and layered with flavor and such a cozy way to start our meal, we had the salmon avocado roll and spicy tuna both were absolutely phenomenal -my dad had the fish slider and loved it- he’s usually a very harsh critic so we were relieved he had the same experience we did.. Celia brought over the most incredible endive salad since she said we ordered “light” and we all agreed it was by far the best salad we’ve yet to have in New York. As a California native who has been here for almost 7 years constantly hunting for an amazing salad that ticks off the boxes- this one hit. The dressing I can’t even describe was punchy and fresh but still light- the crunchy endive and the amazing shiso leaves …I will be dreaming about that salad. We also had to order the coconut sorbet - which was dressed with basil oil and quite simply blew my mind. I used to have many ideas of what my last meal dessert would be but all of that is out the window with this sorbet. Wow is all I have to say. Celia yet again surprised us with another treat- the carrot cake- which was an absolute joy visually with the matching confetti plate, incredible edible flowers, and the perfect not to sweet frosting. The only negative thing is I live two blocks away and work 4 blocks away so it will take a lot of self control to not come every single day.
Seriously between the amazingly warm staff who took such great care of us and made sure we felt how special this was, to the incredible food bursting with unique and stunning flavors, to the cozy ambiance I cannot wait to be back and to tell my people how much I loved it. Thank you!

Easily the best meal I had in 2024. The fatty tuna/kimchi roll blew my mind.
Fantastic service coupled with fantastic food. Intimate restaurant with 20 seats or so.
Every course was wonderful - spicy apple with Labne. Ramen with shrimp. Spicy salmon and spicy tuna sushi. Would 100% come back. Pickled mussel sushi - so inventive!!

The salads and ceviche were super yum. I found the nigiri and rolls to be just okay. Didnt like the ramen or fish burger. Super cute restaurant overall and the service was great.

Food experience was great. But the place itself is tiny, feels crowded. The chairs are very hard to sit on. The drink selection is not that great also. But again, food was amazing. Typical East Village crowd, no one was dressed up. Foodie destination for sure, but not if you are looking for a fine dining experience.
