Julie HanSeptember 25, 2017Loves: amberjack, big eye tuna, uni on raw shrimp, and the best: unit, roe and quail egg <3
Czarina BehrendsJuly 17, 2019Omakase is amazing. Every bite of food was delicious. Worth every penny!
JM ParveauxNovember 27, 2015Still expensive, yet affordable and amazingly good Omakaze! I can't wait to go back
Quality of the fish is still top notch but everything else really dropped off. I've had better service and hospitality experiences in restaurants a third of the price
Stephanie SunSeptember 25, 2013Incredible, intimate dining experience. The anago, ikura, and marinated albacore are amazing.
Brendan ClancyDecember 1, 2012Chef Toshio uses red vinegar to season the sushi rice, this lets him use much less sugar and makes the sushi that much more refreshing.
Kunwei LinDecember 1, 2013The food is very delicious and authentic! But it is 100% reservation only+2 and half months ahead.
Get the omakase and re-order the freshest fish. Also get the Triple X.
Adam LernerJanuary 17, 2013Great review in the Times
Alex RobertsonOctober 17, 2022BYOB is cool. Not an omakase guy; thought this one was ok. Staff clearly had the Sunday night sleepies
Alex GodinFebruary 20, 2014Delicious Omakase for a pretty reasonable price (considering what you get).
Mabel ChungJuly 28, 2013BYOB; there's a bodega at the opposite corner. The uni is goooooood and even the ika is yum
D BlockFebruary 16, 2013Great omakase. No need for other dishes. Get here at 6pm to put your name down.
- Justin DeanNovember 19, 2014Some preparations don't harmonize as well as others, but overall a worthwhile omakase.
Angela Z.July 25, 2013Try to get an earlier reservation (1st seating at 6pm) to avoid waiting 30-60 minutes for other people to finish eating before being seated...
Stuart LevineAugust 25, 2017Just stick with the base Hinoki omasake. Ordering the additional items at the end was def not worth the $$$. In my case 4 pieces, 2 each for the two of us set us back over $75. Not worth it IMHO.
Jason H.April 18, 2014The biggest rip off I have ever had.They use YELP SeatMe to reserve. 30 days advance. NO reminder sent. Missed reservation and they charged me $160. No option to eat there. Just took my money. AVOID!!

Great Sushi is an art and a science. It is a blend of precise knife skills, a discerning artistic eye, and a dexterous set of hands, as well as immaculate attention to the quality of ingredients. At Tanoshi, Chef Toshio has spent decades perfecting this art, going so far as to create his own soy ...

"As 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."

"Great sushi and omakase. Easily competes with the sushi's top Japanese restaurants (and at a fraction of the cost)."
Dylan Stilin - 8.8
"Tasting menu type experience. Each piece of sushi made to order right in front of you by the friendly sushi chef. Reservations only and tip is included (but good to give the chef some cash at the end)"
