Best Sushi Lunch Deal in NYC! I almost don't want to write this review, so I could keep this great deal to myself. This is a fast-casual maki (rolls) restaurants with an expanding sushi bar that services high-quality nigiri as well right in Nolita.
They are currently doing a $20, $23, and $30 lunch special for dine-in only from 11am - 5:30pm every single day. The $30 lunch special includes edamame, 1 appetizer, 8 pieces of nigiri, and 2 handrolls. You can choose from Chu-Toro (medium fat tuna), Oh-Toro (fatties tuna), and even A5 Wagyu. Where else can you get Oh-Toro and A5 Wagyu sushi for just $30? And there is no limit! You can order all 8 pieces of wagyu if that is what you like.
I had ordered Salmon Sashimi, 8 Nigiri (1 Yellowtail Scallion, 1 Seared Scallop, 1 Botan Ebi, 2 Chu Toro, 2 Oh Toro, and 1 Wagyu), and 2 Handrolls (1 Hot & Spicy Blue Crab and 1 Wagyu). The salmon sashimi was very fresh with a dash of ponzu sauce and sesame seeds. The nigiris are also very fresh, but I was not a fan of the sear on the scallop or the toro pieces. However, I still enjoy the butteriness of the toro. I I highly recommend the wagyu nigiri, which is topped with black truffle sauce/salt and melts in your mouth. The two handrolls were also exceptional. The blue crab handroll was made with quality blue crab and three different roes. Highly recommend the blue crab and wagyu.
My boyfriend had ordered Yellowtail Jalapeno sashimi, 8 Nigiri (1 Unagi/Eel, 2 Chu Toro, 2 Oh Toro, and 3 Wagyu), and 2 Handrolls (Both Wagyu). The yellowtail jalapeno was also one of my favorite bites. I normally don't eat jalapenos, but this was just amazing! You don't really get the heat and spiciness, just the perfect contrast to the yellowtail. Highly highly recommend getting the yellowtail jalapeno as an appetizer.
Shoutout to Bradley, our server! He was very sweet and nice. The chef was also amazing and friendly. He went through each piece along with what sauce was paired with it.
I will definitely coming back here (every day if I can) before this lunch deal is over.
