The 19 Best Sushi Spots In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The most luxurious of sushiyas tend to be minimalist, serving nigiri with little to no toppings and strict one-stroke soy sauce policies. We’ve spent many dollars at these spots thinking very deeply about the brine on our uni. But when we want to have fun, we go to Sushi Seki. Sushi Seki doesn’t shy away from fun toppings, but their pieces don't go into truffle overload either. For the ideal experience, order some of their special pieces, or go for one of the omakase options ($120-$180). Must-orders include the chopped fatty tuna with pickled radish and the longtime fan favorite salmon with torched tomato. Seki is packed any night of the week, so you can throw back sake in a lively scene and speak at whatever volume you’d like." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman, sonal shah
