I've never been disappointed by a meal at SoG. Service is always outstanding. Fish is so fresh, it practically melts in your mouth. My go-to is the Gari Special but the omakase is not to be missed.

Miso soup - fantastic Subtle perfect balance Salad and dressing Amazing delicious onion based dressing Spicy tuna hand roll was one of the best I've had. Such care taken to keep the seaweed wrapper crisp and delicious. All the fish was fresh and delicious. Even the soy sauce they gave you tasted better than the usual for some reason and everything was artistic in flavor and presentation. Service was delightful, attentive and well trained in every way. Overall one of the best sushi experiences I've had anywhere. Only thing I would add to the menu is albacore (shiro maguro). It's great sashimi style w jalapeños.

Always a reliable source of quality sushi with interesting innovations not seen in many sushiya, service was excellent and the chefs were personable as well as talented. Have been here before several times and will certainly go back. One of the very best places for a weekend sushi lunch.
Sonia
Always a wonderful experience. With friendly staff and a delicious menu in a wide variety of Japanese offerings, Sushi of Gari is a cozy quiet comfortable dining experience with incredible food that goes above and beyond to satisfy.

I think the Gari special assortment of sushi is among the best dinners ever. Two friends from England who joined felt the same way! Thank you.

We were very disappointed by the experience. We arrived at 8.35pm for a booking at 8.30 and were told we could not seat at the bar (they are closing it at 8.30 !). The material (table, carafe, glasses, sticks, etc are cheap). The menu is very expensive for what it is (this not a Michelin star restaurant!). Food was fine but sushi disappointing. Staff was not particularly friendly, and when we left at 10pm the room and welcoming desk were empty as all members of the staff were occupied n the back to close the restaurant. It's not welcoming. Looks like they just want you to leave ASAP, and never come back. Very disappointing.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience celebrating her birthday. The candle in the green tea/matcha ice cream was a wonderful way to top off an excellent meal.

We celebrated our anniversary and used a Gift card. Having said that, the dinner was not inexpensive, but worth the splurge and every penny!

Has not lost even a fraction of a step since the last time. Every morsel is completely on point and delicious. If you can afford it go for the Omakase but even the traditional sushi/sashimi or chirashi plates are amazing. Note that they run a world class saki program so they can be quite pricy.
Small sushi restaurant in the Upper East Side that serves high quality Japanese food. Besides sushi and sashimi, they have a good variety of appetizers and entrees from their kitchen on the menu. We were a party of 4 for dinner and ordered the pork gyoza, tempura and yuzu tsukune for appetizers. For entrees we ordered a sashimi dinner, a sushi dinner, 2 sushi deluxe and complemented with a la carte orders of uni and ikura sushi. Everything was delicious. We left the restaurant very satisfied.

I had never tried omakase before going to Sushi of Gari with a friend of mine. Since my first visit in 2016, I’ve been back close to 100 times. Never had a bad meal here. Wait staff is always incredibly attentive, fish is always fresh, and the omakase never disappoints. 10/10 experience every time

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.
