    Perhaps one of New York's most unique & exciting sushi experiences. For veterans, lovers, and those who are new to the art, this is a must do and the Omakase special is a great place to start!

    Quality of sushi is outstanding- would rank Gari at the top of the places in Manhattan. There are no bargains here. Get salmon sushi with roasted tomato and spicy scallop hand roll.

    Like it’s sister restaurants, they’re serving some of the freshest and tastiest Sushi in all of Manhattan – it’s like you’re in Tokyo. Splurge on the chef’s omakase.

    They do vegetarian omakase upon request! Get the omakase at the bar. 14 veggie pieces for ~$50 or 14 seafood pieces for ~$90. Friendly service and the best sushi I've had make it worth every cent.

    Only come here if you can budget about $100 for omakase. You will not be disappointed. My favorite was the double uni - one from Japan, one from Cali, stacked on top of one another. Supreme.

    Freshness is the name of the game when it comes to sushi. The lobster tempura was outstanding, and for those who aren’t fish-lovers, the breast of duckling was extremely tender and perfectly flavored.

    Would eat here every day if I could! The fish is extremely fresh and you can taste the difference. cute/cozy atmosphere too. Hajiki seaweed salad is great.

    The tuna here is really good and overall the fish are all fresh. However, I go mainly for the tuna. This location is the best imo of all the Gari restaurants in NYC.

    It's very good but IF you're going to do the omakase go to the East Side location. Much more wow factor there. At this location - just order off the menu.

    Sensational! The. Best. Sushi. Ever. And do not fail to try an utterly amazing seaweed salad either. End your meal here with mochi and smile all the way home.

    Salmon Tomato sushi is a must... and if you really want to splurge, it's worth getting the omakase... an unforgettable experience!

    Get the omakase. But also ask them to surprise you if your still hungry. Easily one of the most inventive sushi houses in NYC.

    Best sushi in the upper west side, hands down. Great selection of sake - expect to pay for it though.

    "Fusion" omakase meant one piece of sushi had a warm tomato topping. Good pieces didn't make up for the bad ones IMO.

    The wait staff are literally depressed if you sit at the sushi bar and try to ask for anything other than sushi. Don't make them sad, it's DEF worth it to just go with whatever they recommend.
