Very Zen experience, quiet and elegant ambience, excellent sushi and Udon, highly professional service. A gem.

Delicious sushi and great services. We also like non-sushi dishes. Very reasonably priced and great value.

Second time at Sushi Ryusei--first time was outstanding--every bit excellent. This time, while some pieces were quite good, others were a bit tough and flavorless.

2nd time at Sushi Ryusei and it still is a solid, authentic choice for true Japanese sushi in the city. Our waiter was extremely cordial and helpful, as was the other staff that attended to our table. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes we selected. All of the fish, edamame, salad and age tofu were wonderful. Our only issue was with one of the patrons sitting at a nearby table who was watching the World Series baseball game from his phone with his volume blasting which disturbed us. We were surprised that the wait staff didn't tell the patron to turn his phone off or to use headphones. Otherwise, we can't wait to come back for another memorable dinner.

My favorite hidden gem in Midtown East. Fish is always incredible and the preparation is traditional with no gimmicks, just great fish and classically trained chefs who know their craft.

My husband and I eat here about once a week because the food and the service are sensational- The atmosphere reminds me of wonderful places in Tokyo

My go to neighborhood place for great Sushi! The food is great but looks like the portions are getting smaller.

I would recommend this restaurant as the Sushi was fresh, delicious and made beautiful to the eye and delightful to the stomach. Service was excellent and it was also nice to meet the Manager (Horoki) upon arrival and talk a bit while I waited on my guest to arrive. It was my first time there and I would go back even alone to enjoy the food and conversation with quests at the sushi bar and the associates and chefs. Definitely worth your time and don't be fooled by it being expensive. It was priced right if you travel and have been to other places in NYC or other Cities.

Hands down one of the best sushi restaurant in NYC. The omakase course was unique, well-balanced, and very tasty. Chef Oyama is a true master!!
Sushi and sashimi exquisite as always. Unique and delectable appetizers. Courteous and efficient service.

We had a terrific time, the lychee martinis were fantastic, and the sushi was very authentic and extremely fresh and tasty.

Extremely cozy atmosphere, phenomenal fresh sushi & salmon. Solid beverages and the tatsuya age & teriyaki chicken with rice were absolute flavortown worthy

Hands down, this was the best food I’ve had in Midtown — top tier from start to finish. The Spicy Tuna was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The Tatsuta Age was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a squeeze of lemon that brought the whole dish to life. The Salmon Yuzu Soy melted in my mouth — every bite was packed with rich, balanced flavor. The Chicken Teriyaki was also delicious, tender, and perfectly cooked.
And let’s talk about dessert — I’m not usually a big cheesecake fan, but the Yuzu Cheesecake completely won me over. Light, citrusy, and refreshing. The drink recommendations were spot on as well.
Haruki, the owner, personally greeted me when I walked in, which was such a warm touch. The service overall was excellent — the staff was polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
I work nearby and can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this place sooner. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back!
