You don't need to be a lady to order the Ladies Lunch special. Nice combo, changes daily. Excellent overall with reasonable (for Japanese in NYC) prices.

The décor is overly trendy but the food is really classic and exceptional – try the Spinach Salad, the Miso Black Cod, the Crispy Rice Roll and if they have it, the King Salmon.

“I go here 1x/week for a spicy salmon mango crunch roll! Prices are reasonable for good sushi in NYC, the service is amazing & the ambiance is relaxing. Perfect in my eyes.” – Meredith, Setup Squad

Definitely recommend the spring roll it was delicious. The sushi taste kinda weird.

Did the sushi tasting with lobster roll ($54). Very tasty and high quality. Quite and nice place.

The tofu chop is delicious! And the crispy rice maki is my all-time fave.

Spicy shrimp is the way to go, especially if you like buffalo wings and seafood.

One of my sushi favorites on the UWS. Tuna and avocado appetizer is delicious.

Great place for a date or just to catch up with someone. Get the sashimi platter, 26 bucks of heaven.

So much better and more authentic than Haru down the block. I'm able to get here once a month and have never had a bad piece of sushi.

Get the sushi and sashimi combo! It’s a huge quantity of good fish.
Edward DelfinoSeptember 29, 2018
Very good, but on the expensive side.
Mariel LëmairApril 26, 2017
Try their black miso cod, and their Momoya roll! Nice wine list.
Lil KingyJuly 17, 2016
The lunch menu (available even at the weekend!) is amazing value!

Good quality sashimi for a pretty good price. Would go again

You can have better sushi - or same - all over town for 1/3 of the price. Plus, decor is passè, staff is bored and the crowd is cheesy.
Amanda WilliamsMarch 28, 2015
Nice date night spot. Much better eat-in spot versus delivery.
Leyland StreiffOctober 16, 2011
Some of the best sushi in NY. Bold, but true, statement. Awesome spicy tuna and salmon avocado rolls.
Beatrice FerriJuly 2, 2018
Fish was fresh and the ambience romantic

The place for solid neighborhood Japanese, like moist chicken teriyaki with crisp skin. Read more

Crispy rice role is the best sushi role I've ever bad
J.R. ReedJune 12, 2017
Spicy tuna roll very unique - good vibe
Stephanie WongJune 12, 2010
Prix Fixe meal for $24 everyday from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Chilean sea bass is pretty good. Make sure to ask what beers are part of happy hour, some aren't included.

I love the tempura sweet potato rolls. So what it's just sweet potato fries with rice ;)
Steph SchneiderFebruary 4, 2017
Get the sashimi! So good!

Expensive, but best quality sushi on UWS

Great atmosphere for a quiet dinner! A+ for service
Carlos VillaviejaApril 4, 2015
Annoying waiters taking plates before you have finished eating.
Amber MorrowAugust 24, 2011
Just had the most horrendous experience here. Food was great (as always) but being told the pricing in sashimi (to make sure I could afford is insane. I won't be back. What a shame
Kristi EvansApril 24, 2011
Sushi not great. Go 2 doors down to Haru for fresh fish and great service.
Karen LevineMarch 19, 2011
Off menu mango martini to die for!
Derek StewartSeptember 3, 2011
The fish is very sub-par. Go to nobu 57, 15 east 15, or gari for high end sushi spots
Dan EntinDecember 1, 2009
Order the prix fixe and get the Broiled Chilean Sea Bass. Read more
