"If you’re looking for sushi around Columbia that’s not a salmon avocado roll from H Mart—which, let’s be clear, is great in a pinch—check out Sushi W. The sub-$100 omakase spot on Broadway offers a basic option (12 nigiri and two handrolls for $53), and a premium option (15 nigiri and two handrolls for $68), and the room is usually full of neighborhood couples who can’t bother to cook tonight, and a few Columbia students who know exactly where to go when their parents come to town. Each seating is only an hour long, so you can’t spend too much time chatting, but for an efficient, sit-down sushi meal, this is a solid option." - willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, will hartman
