- Jason H.August 2, 2013Truly some of the best sushi in New York. Get the omakase and sit back and enjoy. But be warned this is a special occasion meal. If you indulge it may end up costing 4-5 hundred dollars!Upvote3Downvote
- AnyaMay 17, 2016I was hesitating,but decided to try their Omakase and it was great! Delicious and each piece was different.Just tell them in advance what fish you don't like and if you have any allergies.Upvote1Downvote
- Joan ParkAugust 13, 2014Each sushi piece on the omakase menu has a unique twist and delicious. My fave was the snowcrab topped with uni. You start out wondering if you'll ever be full but we were satisfied after 9 pieces.Upvote1Downvote
- Jessey White-CinisMay 22, 2015As someone who grew up next to a sushi bar in LA and has been a connoisseur since 5, I can say that this is by-far the best sushi I've had in NYC. Sit at the bar and order omakase and a nice saké.UpvoteDownvote
- ZenFoodsterJanuary 9, 2022SKIP shabby decor, rude svc + dining in @ this Gari OG shop in UES. Instead, order $65 Gari Special - a mini-omakase w/ 8 of Gari’s star sushi pcs, Chopped Toro w/ Pickled Radish roll & Red Miso soupUpvote1Downvote
- Tim LuoJune 4, 2016I had the snobby misconception that sushi should just be fish and sushi rice. gari smashed those expectations. I've never tasted toppings used in such a creative manner without diminishing the fishUpvote1Downvote
- Allison EspositoApril 7, 2014Did you know? Sushi of Gari is one of the only restaurants in the US where you can try out the TOTO Washlet S350e toilet seat (a Japanese bidet). It's true luxury (for your butt).Upvote8Downvote
- EaterJanuary 11, 2012The original location of Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio's chainlet is still one of the best sushi restaurants in NYC. Start with an omakase tasting, finish with the tempura-fried ice cream. [Eater 38 Member]Upvote15Downvote
