Jaimee EstrellerFebruary 1, 2015Make a ressie if ya can, we waited about 35 mins. The sushi deluxe is where it's at (or the omasake), but it came w/ a roll of your choice & 9 pieces of sushi including uni and roe. Affordable too!
Christopher LongOctober 21, 2014I join those who recommend the Omakase. The fish is fresh and full of flavor. The regular Omakase is $45 and the mini is $24 (pictured below). The mini with an appetizer was sufficient as a meal.
Ina LiAugust 9, 2017Best value to quality sushi restaurant in New York. $45 12 pieces omakase like no others. Epic otoro and ebi onigiri
Best value Jap-Chinese owed sushi joint in NYC! Love 9-pc w/ 1 roll “Sushi Deluxe” (+$1 for CA Uni), Gyoza, hot Soba, Mixed Seaweed Salad, Tofu Steak, Yellowtail Toro Scallion & Futomaki/Veggie rolls.
Morgan McKeeFebruary 11, 2017Simple, cheap(ish) sushi. Just the goods but fresh and flavorful. Enjoy some rolls with beer and wine (all they serve, incl. sake) for a low key night out 🍻🍣
- Ivana LiAugust 24, 2016Fresh, delicious and affordable sushi / omakase in Manhattan! (Don't expect a super unique selection of fish though) Perfect for dinner before a show at Lincoln Center. Reserve ahead of time.
Lisa FinnOctober 26, 2014A classy Japanese restaurant with simple yet decadent dishes, and amazing cuts of fish. A bit of a wait on weekends, but worth it. The toro tartare appetizer (pic) was fresh and bursting with flavor.
BinxSeptember 23, 2021Absolute go-to. Reasonable price with high-quality food. Yasaka never lets me down. This is the first restaurant that makes me realize how wonderfully delicious fresh avocado and eel can be.
Unlike run of the mill sushi joints in the area This place is the real deal. The omakase was outstanding, and not just the quality of the fish but also the garnishes and sauce for each one.
Marc TunguzAugust 6, 2014Walk by this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Wasn't disappointed at all! The ramen were delicious. Didn't try the sushi but you can tell the fish is delicious just by the look of it.
IAugust 18, 2016We got a lunch combo with a bland soba noodle soup (3/10) spicy salmon maki (6/10), california maki (7/10) & eel avocado maki (8/10) for $26. We went again but it wasn't as good the second time. 6/10
Melissa RosenthalMay 9, 2016Really great sushi for the price. Sushi deluxe is an excellent deal for the price/ quality of fish.
Tracey ZaneOctober 13, 2017I love their sushi entree - $21 for 9 pieces and a roll! The fish here is so fresh and delish, and the prices are so reasonable. One of my favorite sushi places in the city.- Best omakase deal! $45 for 12 pieces of chefs choice and 1 roll. Do it right, sit at the sushi bar and enjoy quality fish! And great sushi and tempura overall on the UWS.
Madeline McDavidMay 1, 2016Incredibly fresh fish makes for delicious rolls, sushi and sashimi. Lovely selection of appetizers, too and good value lunch bento box meals. Best Japanese on the UWS by a mile.
Daniel DouglasJanuary 6, 2017Top quality sushi and other Japanese dishes, superior to everything on the Upper Westside until one pays twice the bill. And then on par with straight forward sushi at the well-known high-end places.
EArchitectAugust 12, 2014This small sushi restaurant is located where Momiji Sushi used to be next to a restaurant called "My Most Favorite Food." You get good sushi at a good price here.
Saba NekoOctober 5, 2016Sashimi deluxe comes with an oyster, fish cuts are very thick, and really good quality fish! Definitely make a reservation for this place tho, there can be a wait
Omakase was super fresh and delicious. It’s reasonably priced at $50 for 12 pieces of sushi and a maki roll.
Brad ZachariaFebruary 7, 2013Sat at the bar which I prefer at sushi bars. Had the $45 Omakase and my wife had the $24 mini-Omakase. Fish was incredibly fresh. Subtle but effective presentation. Best sushi I have had on UWS.
Mike SleepJanuary 5, 2017easily the best sushi spot in the neighborhood. the fish is always amazing and the prices are so reasonable. it's always crowded so reservations are a good idea.
On weekends, make sure to make a reservation! and most importantly get sushi Omakase (regular) if you're there for first time and willing to splurge on yourself~ :D
Tord SollieNovember 12, 2022Brilliant lunch place. We had the omasake and the miso, both very good. The place opened at 12, and 12.15 it was full. Local gem.
Love the chirashi lunch special! Their sushi is always so fresh and yummy. The Miyabi lunch is also really nice. My favorite sushi place in the city!
The $40 Chef's Omakase is probably one of the best and tasty sushi deals I've encountered on the UWS. 12 pieces + 1 maki roll, prepared with much TLC. Each piece is amazing. Must. Try.
Christopher Van DunkApril 13, 2013Loved everything I had; seaweed salad, shrimp dumplings and the pork dumplings. Spicy tuna roll is always a favorite. But don't miss the vegetable tempura plate; DELICIOUS.
Lori ShermanAugust 23, 2019Lunch specials are a good deal. The king salmon is delicious. Make reservations..always busy.
Douglas EllimanJuly 17, 2014A great ambiance with quality sushi at unparalleled prices. We love coming here for a satisfying and causal dinner. The waitresses are always professional and attentive.- This is the best sushi spot in the neighborhood and it gets very crowded on the weekends. Be ready to wait or make a reservation.
Ki ChoiDecember 26, 2014The omakase is a great value and is a fantastic choice. One of the better ones I've had in NYC! Saved the uni for the last bite ...
AdnaMay 3, 2017The tempura soba contained three pieces of vegetables and two shrimp. Well worth the price. Great service.
Quintessential "neighborhood gem" and consistently fine sushi
Really great sushi for a good price. I've never seen a sushi place with uni on their sushi deluxe set at this price range... very good sign. Very good sushi.
amelieAugust 15, 2015My favorite sushi joint for take out and dine in in the uws. Homey, clean, and fresh. Be prepared for a long wait during dinner.- Daniel DouglasMarch 23, 2017Outstanding omakase - impressive selection for $45Hard to beat at the price in tout NYC. Great service. Fine sake. What more do you want.
Federica RapaNovember 17, 2013Amazing sushi, nice place and good service! Try mix Tempura and the delicious green tea crepes like dessert!
Teruhisa HaruguchiDecember 1, 2013Fishes on the chirashi are tasty and generously cut. Omakase has lots of great fishes but presentation wasn't great. (Order for three got put in the same plate like a party platter)
Julie TranSeptember 6, 2015Miyabi is a simple and delicious meal. It consists of sashimi and a roll of your choice from the list.
Elena SorJanuary 21, 2015Best spicy tuna, salmon and shrimp rolls ever. Very crowded, make sure you get a reservation.
- Mariel LëmairApril 26, 2017Cozy spot. Always make a reservation. Excellent selection of fresh fish at an awesome price. Sashimi and brown rice—every.damn.day!
D CAugust 7, 2019weekend lunch specials make this place a super affordable and delicious brunch choice
Amazing lunch specials. Super fresh! 1 roll of your choice and 6 sushi for $12!
Caroline SchulweisMarch 16, 2016The omakase is delicious and great value. Included fatty tuna, uni, and lots of other great stuff.
- Great fresh sushi and sashimi at a reasonable price. My go to place for sushi.
Rebecca ChinnFebruary 3, 2017Wonderful udon:) if you're vegetarian, ask for it without the fish ball!
Samantha McGrandyAugust 20, 2019We did the omakse and it was great. Incredibly reasonable prices. Was a quick experience and the restaurant is very casual.
Talya ArbisserAugust 4, 2018Super fresh AND reasonably priced. Everything we got was delicious. It’s a busy place though... consider making a reservation.
Zyber VixSeptember 30, 2017We had the Shrimp tempura roll & Kansai udon soup. 😋 The bathrooms are clean with extra details on the floor 👍🏾
