Been to SOG a few times. It was good. But not next level. Maybe I'm just too used to it but there were a couple of sashimi and sushi pieces that were kinda nothing special. And the tap water tasted like it was cooled with stale ice. Seems like they're mailing it in a bit. They need Carmy-level passion.

One of our favorite restaurants! Food is always delicious and service is 10/10, thank you!!

Delicious food in a calm atmosphere. Love the "Gari's Special Sushi" -- unique. The "Sushi Deluxe" very good, but not as individual.
Adam
Amazing food and great server as always. Staff is very friendly and fish is always fresh and very high quality! Our favorite sushi spot in the UES

Excelente lugar, muy chico, austero pero con una comida sobresaliente y una atención de excelencia. Valor alto pero al que le gusta el durazno que se banque la pelusa.

If I had one meal left to eat I would eat at Sushi of Gari. They are artists of the highest order. Thank you again for one of the greatest meals of my life.

Gari is always excellent and has been for over 25yrs now. You haven't truly dined in NYC unless you have had Gari's omakase!

Servers were so nice to us four ladies. We each did the Gari Special and it was super delicious per usual!

Sushi of Gari just delivers. I am glad that we have one in the UES neighborhood. I like the fact that the sushi isn't plain traditional, but also doesn't really go drastically experimental. The care that is put on each piece of the omakase progression is excellent and well thought out. Naturally Omakase in NY is not a cheap endeavor, but it is worth every dime for a special occasion. Also thanks for the surprise gesture for my wife's birthday!!

A very nice place to go for conversation and nice meal. I suggest the sushi sashimi on rice piece options. The handrolls are all rice no fish. I got the scallop handroll and there was no scallop in it. The price isn't great. The fried options were too breaded.
The best sushi restaurant in NYC bar none. I do prefer the “old way” of serving the omakase, whereby the chef makes exquisite sushi or sashimi and when you are full...you stop vs the 12 piece menu as you will always want more.

Shocked to have off tasting sushi and rolls. Neither one of us could manage to eat more than one piece and it was quite unpleasant after that. Never got sick but we were pretty queasy. Manager took $50 off the ~$275 meal. Won’t be back again and that saddens me because it was good in the past.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this sushi of Gari Upper East Side restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The sushi was absolutely delicious, with each piece meticulously prepared and bursting with fresh flavors. The variety and quality of the fish were impressive, making it clear that only the finest ingredients were used. What truly stood out, however, was the service. The staff was incredibly polite, attentive, and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch sushi paired with excellent service in a low-key environment.

We did the omakase. Everything was very good. We had three people at a table of eight with dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating. A lot of omakase chefs will not accommodate dietary restrictions.
