DeShaun H.DeShaun Harris: Omakase - the chef's special - is the only way to go at this high-quality sushi spot. 3 rounds of 4 unique pieces each will definitely surprise and delight.

New York HabitatNew York Habitat: An exquisite raw fish experience with uniquely crafted pieces. Try the tuna with tofu cream, flounder with lotus chip, and the foie gras sushi.

Gene S.Gene Soo: Delicious approach to fusion sushi. Go for the omakase. Tell then to stop when u are done. 10 pcs of sushi at around 75 dollars.

Vijay P.Vijay Paintal: Incredible meal. The best sushi I've had in NY hands down. The restaurant only seats 10 people and has 3 settings a night so it's really a great experience and the price is great

Chris K.Chris Konecny: Hole in the wall, very casual and superb sushi makes for a great restaurant experience. Omakase only. BYOB

Simon L.Simon Leung: If you want sushi, this the best deal in town. It still runs you $100 for the omakase (only option) but it's one of the best sushi restaurants in town.

Mourad S.Mourad S: Amazing Sushi. Friendly staff. Byob (liquor store next door with great sake). Cash only. Oh and it's pronounced Pohkay.

Brian B.Brian B: Consistently great sushi, friendly service, and the perk of BYOB. It does get crowded and loud so try to get there on the early side.

Halstead PropertyHalstead Property: We absolutely loved the experience from the sushi bar – if those seats are available be sure to take them. The beef teriyaki was cooked perfectly, not too tender and not too chewy.

BollareBollare: Get the spicy scallop hand roll, salmon with seared tomato sushi, and yellow tail with Jalepeno sushi. Call ahead for a reservation – Sarah K.

Sean C.Sean Corcoran: Do yourself a favor and get the grilled yellowtail with salt and the special ankimo (monkfish liver) that is sautéed. Amazing sushi in a non-pretentious atmosphere.

RamiRami: Order the Noah's Arc! Its perfect for two people. Lobster, crab & shrimp rolls with a pickle on the side. Plus your choice of chips & soda. The Mexican cola is must!

Helmut LangHelmut Lang: NY. Trust me this is the best sushi in NY. Hands down. You must get the omakase and trust the sushi chef. You won't regret it.

Halstead PropertyHalstead Property: Sasabune is a great place for a business lunch. You’re in and out quickly and the food quality is tops. We loved the blue crab roll, cheers to sushi chef Kenji Takahashi one of the best in the city.

Christophe J.Christophe Jammet: My favorite sushi spot in NYC, let alone the UES. The omakase will run you at least $100 per person, but it's worth it. Sign on wall reads: "No california roll, no spicy tuna. Trust me." Trust them.

Chelsea S.Chelsea Scalzo: I have not had a chance to have the sushi here but I did try the bubble tea. It was good, but nothing special. However the bubbles were a great texture and the flavor (I had the taro) was not too swee

eifeheifeh: Great deal for sushi in the UES for grab-and-go. Only a few seats for dine-in. Pick 3 basic rolls for $9.50 or 7 for $21. Call or text in advanced for pick-up. Cash only.

Paige C.Paige C: Sushi quality was very poor. The rolls were cut different sizes and the rice was crumbly on every single one.
