    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

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

    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.

    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.

    Some of the best sushi in NY. Bold, but true, statement. Awesome spicy tuna and salmon avocado rolls.

    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.

    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
