Best Affordable Sushi in NYC | Eater NY

"Just to the left of the lobby desk in the Hotel Henn-na, as you hurry past the animatronic Tyrannosaurus, find combination sushi bar and tempura parlor, Gosuke. This compact, well-lit restaurant offers good quality fish, including some unusual varieties in a more expensive omakase that often make their way into the inexpensive assortments. The deluxe sushi ($50) includes nine pieces of nigiri sushi and one maki roll, while others will opt for the chirashi for $12 less." - Robert Sietsema

The Best Fried Chicken in NYC | Eater NY

"This oddball restaurant hidden behind the lobby of a Japanese hotel (don’t miss the animatronic dinosaur that greets you from a glass cage) specializes in sushi and tempura, but the fried chicken is some of the best found in the city’s Japanese restaurants. Pieces of thigh meat are marinated in soy sauce, and the flavor of the flesh is rich and salty. Squeeze on the lemon for maximum enjoyment." - Robert Sietsema

What’s the Best Sushi in NYC? - Eater NY

"The sushi at Gosuke is great, and a bargain, with sushi assortments falling in the under-$50 range for seven or eight pieces of nigiri plus a hand roll, with an introductory miso soup — and no shame if you go the roll route instead, with lots of choices, The chirashi is an even better deal. A great casual spot filled with Japanese tourists." - Robert Sietsema

This place is where I come to taste authentic Japanese food, I feel like I’m back in Japan. There are subtle differences between Japanese food in the US and Japanese food in Japan and this restaurant nails exactly how food is prepared there, it’s hard to explain but very yummy and overall amazing experience. Chirashi sushi is amazing and tempura (very difficult to nail in my opinion) is perfectly crispy. Couldn’t recommend Gosuke enough!

I had a delicious and wonderful dining experience at Gusoke. From the moment I walked in, the service and food were pure perfection. The food is authentic japanese. We had chefs menu for sushi and tempura. Seriously the best tempura I've ever tasted. Everything melted in your mouth the sushi was so fresh and seasoned with perfection that wasabi and soy sauce was not needed. Every piece of sushi was a different tasting experience. We had Sapporo beer with our dinner and it was served so cold and chilled the way japanese beer is suppose to be served with sushi ( most places always not very cold) it was perfection. The service was impeccable explaining everything you were eating and how it was prepared. Truly a wonderful dining experience . I highly recommend this wonderful little gem on 35 st in NYC ❤️

Had a great pre-concert dinner here. While we aren't able to comment on the authenticity of the menu, we can say that the food quality, prep and menu options were great. The quality of the sushi was excellent and well made - texture and quality of the roll we shared was outstanding. Service was also prompt and courteous.

I’ve been looking for tendon place in nyc and it was so good and especially the shrimp and salmon tempura were amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to visit and try a different tendon next time

Overpriced and mediocre food. I go to japan every year and sometimes twice /year. I know what good food tastes like. It’s hard to believe to have such unsatisfying food in New York owned by Japanese owner. The worst is sukiyaki- I can make it at home 10 times better than they served, the beef is as hard as rubber and for the portion they served u better have not had empty stomach before u came. Otherwise u gonna end up like me going somewhere else to eat again. The chirashi is not memberable and soba noodles is like appetizer size, seriously ! For 30 dollars of soba I can easily get it in Japan’s convenience store for 500 yen and tastes better than this. At least tempura is good but small Portion too. I would not go back and I would Not recommend anyone to go there, go to Ottoya, at least they know what they are doing. Waiters are polite, but again what matters is food itself and they failed to meet such minimum requirements.

We stayed at the hotel so we tried this place for dinner and breakfast. Everything here is super expensive, the mains start at $30 so for that price, i recommend getting the sushi set or chirashi. The sushi is really fresh and well-made, but you will definitely not be full after. We also had breakfast here and had a voucher since we were attending an event, it is normally $15 for the breakfast sets but with the voucher it was $10. The fish was much smaller and side dishes different from picture, no steam egg so that was disappointing... Anyways, it's a decent restaurant but it is very pricey and you would need to order a lot to be full.

Authentic Japanese place, excellent sushi. The restaurant was not busy at all, so we were a little hesitant to go in, but I’m glad we decided to go. I would recommend the owner to invest a little more on marketing!

Our first stop after getting off the train @ grand central and we were starving! The employees were so kinda and attentive and the food was AMAZING. I had a veggie bento box and I finished the entire thing. Not a single item in there that I didn’t like. Can’t wait to go back again!

A nice little neighborhood Japanese style restaurant. It serves a bit of everything from sushi, sashimi, katsu, tempura, etc. The food is ok. The really cool thing is the owner used to be a female Japanese wrestler.

Too good to be missed! This place is run by "Go restaurant " owners which used to be at St. Marks long time ago. The fish was so fresh, homemade cream croquet was amazing! The soup was so tasty, great Dashi. Everyone was very happy, highly recommended. GOCH SOU SAMA DESHITA. Late night, it becomes as a counter only bar, can hang out late.

Went to Gosuke for brunch and had a solid meal. We were there when they first opened on an a late Saturday morning and it was quiet. (The restaurant is also a little hidden inside a hotel) Had the House Salad, Katsu Don, Salmon Don and Gosuke Ramen - no complaints!

Hidden spot near 34 and Penn that serves sushi and tempura. I definitely enjoyed my food however would not say this is the best sushi around. I ordered the chef choice and it came with miso soup. Unfortunately, the temperature of the soup was scalding, maybe a new batch? It is not ideal for drinking. The sushi is very fresh but the rice is just to grainy and falls off easily leaving a stale chewy taste. May have to come back and try other dishes! I enjoyed the service and definitely reasonable pricing but wouldn't say its the best!

Do you like hole-in-the-wall sushi joints? Then don't tell anyone you read this review and just show up. I only noticed Gosuke because I happened to spend a lot of time in the area for a while and saw the little sign. This is the kind of affordably, good-quality sushi restaurant that Manhattan south of Central Park is sorely lacking. The menu is a mixture of tried-and-true staples and creative inventions. Start with the tasty Saba Tatsuta (fried mackerel bites) to get your fish palate working. The Salmon Mori (in ngiri form) is an ode to the fish that Scandinavians introduced to Japan al those years ago. The Tuna Crispy Rice--while not my favorite--was still crunchy and delectable. We had a roll with green soy paper whose name I forget, but it was bursting with fresh fish. And the Salmon Avocado Roll with rice crunch was generously portioned and hit the spot. We also got the Cream Puff Tempura for something sweet and did not regret the mixture of fried flour and Japanese "not too sweet" cream. Gosuke isn't here to be featured on Netflix, but it might just remind you of your favorite neighborhood spots in Shibuya.

Great place with a friendly clientele as well as staff. You wouldn't realize that it's even there because it's kinda hidden.

We were in the mood for sushi after the gym and found this place on Yelp. We got the sashimi matsu and the chef special tempura to share. The service was a bit slow - we sat by the sushi counter but could only place orders with the server. The quality of the sashimi was good. However, we were slightly surprised by the number of pieces presented for the set. The menu stated around 30 pieces, but we only counted 25. When we mentioned this to the server, she checked with the sushi chef, and we got a few more pieces. While it worked out in the end, we felt like we were begging for additional pieces and had to show them the picture I took before eating. I wish this incident had never happened so that I would want to return for the same dish. The tempura was very crunchy, and it reminded me of the quality I had in Tokyo. I highly recommend the tempura.

Came here recently for dinner. Got the chef's choice sushi dinner. I asked for specifically for no salmon or uni as those aren't my favorite. The sushi was fresh but on my third piece, I had a mouth and throat full of bones. Thankfully I was okay but I was honestly uncomfortable eating any more. I called the waiter over and he didn't seem concerned at all. Didn't care that it was bad brought me my check with the full meal on it. I was with a friend that was still eating so it was very awkward. She quickly finished and we left. Will not be coming back.

This is a very traditional, dedicated, and sophisticated Japanese restaurant. I came for lunch and the service was surprisingly warm and professional. Chirashi has a choice of regular and deluxe versions, 29 and 45 from my memory. The deluxe chirashi I chose was made live before your eyes accompanied by chu-toro and o-toro. Each sashimi was chosen fresh and cut to perfection! The restaurant that made me feel lucky.

I enjoyed my experience here. It's odd but this place reminds me of some of my favorite old Japanese restaurants that I used to frequent in Manhattan before they inevitably closed over the years. When I say "used to frequent" I'm talking about those mid-range places that aren't cheap hole in the walls or little ramen/izakaya type joints or high-end expensive places with uber expensive sushi or omakases. This place was tucked inside a hotel and I grabbed a seat at the sushi bar. The sushi I had (tekka and negitoro rolls) were are very good. The flavor was spot on and the fish tasted fresh. The latter was enjoyable enough that I ordered a second helping of it. I had a basic salad as my appetizer and it was pretty straightforward. I also enjoyed an order of the tonkatsu. It was fine, there was nothing particularly memorable about it but it still tasted fairly good. Above average in all respects in terms of the meat quality etc. The service here was fine, it was a little slow at first but it picked up later on. The guys at the sushi bar were friendly and efficient. I just like the fact there is such a place that's close by to Madison Square Garden. It was a good option to hit up before the concert I went to and I'd do it again the next time I'm here for a show or game.

Great vibe going into the restaurant. Servers were very accommodating. Went there for a weekend dinner. It was packed. I got the deluxe Sushi Joh set - it took them quite a long time to place the order but the food itself was very yummy. Sushi was fresh and with good selections. My partner ordered the sukiyaki set which was a bit disappointing- the beef used was overcooked and not fatty enough. The onsen egg was a bit too cooked also. Ah they do have a HH drink menu on weekend too which was nice. We had two beers. Overall good experience. Def recommend sushi menu over cooked items.

This is a good little sushi/sashimi spot located in the Henn Na Hotel. I was here with a bunch of others last night as part of a meetup. The woman running it highly recommended this place as an authentic sushi and sashimi place and I can see very easily why she did. For the price, this was one of the best Omakase experiences I have had in the city. The service was pleasant; accommodating food allergies from the variety of people and giving good suggestions. Outside of the omakase I ordered (as well as two others,) other people shared a variety of dishes and overall everyone liked what they ordered. As I had a course menu, only two of the appetizers are being listed as highlights: Saba tatsua-age/さば 竜田揚げ: Deep fried mackerel. I ordered this as an appetizer and it was part of a special menu. This was very tasting being a light fry which perfectly accentuated the fish quality. Bakudan/ばくだん丼: Assorted sashimi along with natto/納豆 or fermented soy bean. This is a rare type of donburi not commonly found in the US with the closest thing being the bara chirashi you find in a few other places. Couldn't have much as I'm allergic to octopus but the person loved it as did everyone else. I believe it was $20 which is reasonable for the quality of the fish. I decided to go with the sashimi omakase which is unique as usually I only see it sushi style. It came out to $90 for a whole lot of fish though there are bunch of cheaper sashimi/sushi options including one for I believe 35 or 40 which included just the sashimi (though unsure if it would be the exact selection I got as I have a squid/octopus/ clam allergy) which would be also very filling. Course 1: Vegetables. Kinpira gobo/braised burdock root/きんぴらごぼう dusted with shichimi pepper and another braised starch with ginger and soy sauce. The former was fantastic with a nice twist from the pepper. I'm unsure what the latter starch was (perhaps potato) but it was also comforting and tasty. Course 2: Chawanmushi /茶碗蒸し or steamed savory egg custard with mushroom and shrimp. This was a tasty variant though I have had better in other places. Perfectly reasonable but I prefer a more fish flavored variant. Still good with delicate mushrooms and bouncy shrimp. Course 3: Assorted sashimi. For the sushi folks, it came out a few at a time while for me, it came out as one big plate which was surprising. There were a whole lot of pieces. Along with some gari/ginger, wasabi, and crunchy tasty kelp/wakame, the dish came with: Kanpachi/間八 (greater amberjack:) They were all good but this was outstanding. Fantastic texture and flavor. Chutoro/中とろ (medium fatty tuna:) Tasty but I have better but perfectly reasonable for the price. Maguro/鮪 (regular tuna:) This was alright. I have had better but there some tuna specialists in the city. Sake /鮭 (salmon:) Good salmon. Nicely fresh with a good texture. Hirame / 平目 (fluke:) Good fluke as well. Good texture. Course 4: Miso soup (well normally.) This was the only slip-up of the kitchen. The others got the same but with a large shrimp head or alternatively a fried shrimp but they misread the allergy. The soup was good and the little bit of shrimp I tried was very good. Course 5: Ice cream served with sweet potato, chestnut, and red bean. This was different than other places and perfectly fine. In terms of ice cream it was good with the syrup being a highlight. If ice cream is the last course, I prefer a monaka like in other spots but it was good. Other people's sushi omakase included a fantastic looking scallop, a big piece of anago/saltwater eel, uni, and a tuna hand roll. Said people also loved their dishes as well. The only other dish to mention was grilled squid which they liked, gyoza (which I didn't try,) and tatsua-age/fried chicken which was good. Overall the food was outstanding with particularly good sashimi. The price was high but for the quality, I haven't found better omakase. i would go back for their sashimi platter. Upper 4 for the sashimi quality in particular.

For those of you who are new here: the ONLY place I want to get to when I can manage a few days off is NYC. I ALWAYS stay at The Moxy Times Square, which is actually right in the middle of The Garment District, which is SO UNLIKE anything that existed here back when I was coming up, in The Actual Day, in the 70s and 80s. Today's Garment District? Amazing. Fabulous. All. The. Things! Also? I am here for Omakase, in all its iterations and Manhattan is the Capital of The Entire World for Omakase. I know what I'm talking about if we're going to talk sushi or Omakase or Japanese cuisine. I stay at The Moxy on W 36th St and I always take the late bus back to Vermont so I can get in the most leisurely of leisurely lunches before attempting to sleep the entire 6 hrs trip north... The thing "post Covid" is that there is an ENDLESS number of super high quality Omakase spots in Midtown. And I have been on a personal mission to try most of them. I've got my contacts, in the Omakase Community. But I also like to peruse Yelp for suggestions and that is how I found Gosuke. Because I wanted something new and delicious and CLOSE to the hotel. Gosuke showed up in my Yelp search, but I didn't see any Omakase on their menu. What I did see was a full, traditional Japanese menu and I was kind of psyched for that. And it is on West 35th street. I'm going to guess the entire walk from The Moxy is one block. I am SO EXCITED I found this place!! Gosuke is located inside the Henn Na Hotel. Which is a Japanese chain known for robot housekeepers...??? But also there is a fully animatronic T Rex in the lobby. AMAZING. The lobby is small and the entrance to Gosuke is just to the left past the front desk. Sushi restaurants come in all sorts of "types." Gosuke is an actual Japanese restaurant with sushi and Omakase and full bar and Japanese staff and owner. IN FACT, the owner of Gosuke is Itsuke Yamasaki. A woman That right there is HIGHLY unusual, to find a Japanese woman owning a Japanese restaurant/sushi/omakase spot. The Patriarchy is STRONG in Japan and you can see it in Japanese restaurants in NYC, because it's hard for women to break into the industry. On any level. I am HERE to support EVERY SINGLE WOMAN out there owning/operating an independent restaurant. I mean I'm one of them. The work is IMPORTANT and it is HARD. There's something else about Itsuke. She is a retired professional wrestler. I'm not even kidding. Itsuke came to the US and wrestled for the WWF. Which. Is. So. Cool!!!!!!! OMG. HARDCORE. So there's that. The fact that I would try to support Itsuke Yamasaki and Gosuke just because. But I didn't actually know any of that until I was WELL into my meal/visit. It was like the most amazing icing to the cake that was Gosuke. I sat at the sushi bar. I discovered on the menu (which is EXTENSIVE, since they're hitting all the traditional Japanese stuff) that there IS Omakase. A smaller and a larger. Obviously I ordered the larger Omakase and a bottle of excellent Sake (they have a very good selection!). Conveniently Wendy hauled her luggage over to share some sake with me before she got on the early bus (ALWAYS take the late bus!!). The Omakase is very traditional and excellent quality. The standouts are the first, sashimi course (large, beautifully fresh) and the dessert; which, honestly, was the best Omakase dessert I think I've ever had: vanilla ice cream with red beans and chestnuts. WONDERFUL! Of course I was not done with just the large Omakase, I ate a few more things after that! I had to get Uni Pon (Uni, quail yolk, pnzu) because it's pretty much ALL the things I LOVE and all the umami!! I ordered a "Salmon Flight." One piece each nigiri of each Salmon on the menu. Beautiful. Delicious. Then! I ordered the crispy rice, which I had watched them make earlier. A good crispy rice "roll" is really wonderful. And this one is PERFECTION! The rice is perfectly crispy/crunchy and flavorful as your base and then topped with chopped salmon, paper thin slices of jalapeño and just enough sauce. I WILL be eating this again... Honestly I can't wait until I can get back to Gosuke on my next NYC visit. My only question is: will I eat there once or twice that week??

Without a doubt the best meal I have had in New York of any kind. I probably walked by this spot two dozen times and looked at the sign and kept moving; I am ashamed and will pay my penance by going back again. Quite a small place, neat interior and the main stage is the MasterChef behind the bar. Go for the Omasake dinner and take a seat and let him do his magic. I'm not going to bore you with all kinds of descriptions and just let the pictures try and convey what my palette was tasting. Quite frankly get your butt into the seat at the bar pay attention to how he's preparing your one bite sushi dinner that just never seems to end and enjoy it. I thought I had sea urchin previously and I was all wrong. This. This was sea urchin the way it was supposed to be plated and served. It's quite an epic journey and not sure whether I can really have sushi without flashing back to this meal and experience. And now the chase begins to find something better than this but until then this is my North Star meal.

TLDR: Gosuke is an authentic Japanese sushi bar, a rarity in this area of the city. Very reasonable lunch sets. I passed by the Gosuke signage while grabbing lunch the other day. They were closed on Monday so I made it a plan to come back. Glad I did. Gosuke is located im the Henn Na hotel, which is a hotel group from Japan. There is a cool dinosaur in the lobby to check out. We sat at the bar and went with the Sushi Joh, 8 pieces of nigiri, a cut roll and a miso soup. Chef was kind enough to serve each piece individually and was very friendly. We also go a sashimi plate to share. Excellent fish, much was imported from Japan. If you've been debating whether or not to try it, give it a shot. It was a great lunch with excellent food and wonderful service. This will definitely be in my rotation.

Gosuke is a nice new sushi restaurant located inside the Henn Na hotel at 235 W 35th Street, roughly halfway between Penn Station and Herald Square. Last night my girlfriend and I were immediately seated and quickly made selections from the menu, opting for one sushi dinner and one sashimi dinner. Two cups of miso soup were swiftly consumed, then the sashimi arrived. The sushi chef was kind enough to accommodate my shellfish allergy. The selections were standard fare, nicely sliced, great flavors. I was particularly impressed with the fatty tuna. Next, the sushi. More cuts of tuna, salmon, etc. The unagi was a standout, and I really liked the accompanying yellowtail scallion roll. We also shared a toro taku roll, chopped tuna with pickled radish, which was interesting and helped fill our bellies. Overall, we had a good time at Gosuke. The fish was very fresh and we got our money's worth. The menu is in Japanese which makes it a little difficult to distinguish what comes in the various sushi dinners; a server may be able to explain it better. Hotel guests get 20% off their first visit.

We accidentally stumbled upon this place and really enjoyed it. The flavors of the foods could be slightly more enhanced, but I love the overall fresh taste and authenticity since the owners and workers are Japanese as well. The miso soup was really and their pork bento was amazing as well. They kind of gave us more rice than meat, so we ended up wasting the rice.

I was expecting more for a first-time omakase experience, but it fell short in taste and ambiance--however still a solid spot for sushi/sashimi. We went on a Friday night with a reservation at 7 pm and probably because it was raining, the place was fairly empty. There were 8 seats at the sushi bar, seats by the bar, and a few tables spread out between. Me and my brother got the sushi omakase while my mom got the sashimi omakase. Didn't realize the sashimi would just be all served in one big tray unlike the sushi omakase where the chef serves it piece by piece. Overall, the food was great. The stand-out pieces were uni (how to not love, my absolute favorite from the sweetness), the handroll that was served last (had some really juicy tuna cubes), and this white fish piece with fish skin still on it (the sea salt really enhanced the flavor). Also if you don't like wasabi, best to mention it ahead of time when ordering because they add it in the wasabi by default. The servers were fantastic. They were swift in removing empty places, filling up tea, and kind in explaining. The main reason for the star-off was the inconsistent serving speed. It took a really long time after the appetizers and chawanmushi (egg custard) for the actual mains to come. I'm aware omakase is on the slower pace but I'm literally sitting in front of the chef watching him talk like 90% of the time to another Japanese customer on the side. He can have his fun but can I get food please... (He seems like a great guy don't get me wrong)

Good sushi spot inside the Henn Na hotel! Enjoyed the lunch special, which included sushi, a salad, soup, udon and tempura, and ice cream. Fish was fresh and service was attentive. The ambiance leaves a little to be desired but otherwise had a good time here!

A small gem of family-run small businesses. The staff were exceptionally friendly. We were hosted directly by the very enthusiastic owner which is a rare privilege to have. The food was fantastic. I don't know how authentic it is, but most of the patrons were (of) Japanese (heritage) so I guess it is. As I am clueless with chopsticks, I was provided silverware and wasn't frown upon for that. Sushi is hand made from fresh ingridents right before the cutomers' eyes and it looks fantastic.

Definitely a hidden gem in the garment district. All raw fish is fresh, and the price is unbeatable in Manhattan. We ordered lunch sushi Joh for $30, sashimi matsu for $30, and salmon Ikura don for $20. Amazing food and quiet environment.

Incredible food, incredible service, incredible experience. Everything here is worth trying. When I went they had a special offering of tendon bowls loaded with a variety of tempura. The sushi is also phenomenal. It's located in the back of a hotel so it can be easy to miss if you're not looking very hard.

The sushi was mediocre. The fish was not fresh, a little dry. The food came out in the wrong order. The appetizer came out after the main dishes. No ambiance in the place. Not sure why Eater would recommend this place. Would avoid it.

Food was very good. I had the sushi regular dinner. The fish tasted great with a nice variety. I did not recognize several fish, but they were all good. And the sushi chef did a masterful job, torching the right fish, adding thinly sliced scallions, etc. The portion of rice to fish was perfect to my taste (I like the rice on lighter side relative to the fish). The rice was well-cooked and seasoned. One suggestion was regarding the ebi. It was quite hard, maybe overcooked. Overall, great place. Would recommend it.

Great experience if you would like to be emerged in a truly Japanese kitchen. Would like more explanations and information added for those who are not familiar with Japanese kitchen. Basically, if you want to eat authentic Japanese good. This is your place, not a California roll type of establishment.

I booked a reservation via email and I even received a confirmation email but when we got there the server told me that I had called to cancel the reservation....which I never did. I even had to show my email confirmation which I thought it was unnecessary and not welcoming. The restaurant was not even busy. I was a bit disappointed about the dishes we ordered. We ordered deluxe ($40) and regular sushi ($35) and the only difference between those two dishes was an additional "Kohada". Normally deluxe sushi contains Toro, Ikura Eel, sometimes Uni, but none of that instead two salmon sushi that I don't usually order. The quality of the sushi overall was good (considering having been to Japan and having amazing sushi there recently), but it's just that I wasn't excited about the selection for Deluxe sushi especially my whole family couldn't see any difference between the Regular and Deluxe, and thought they gave us two Regulars. $7 edamame looked kind of old, dry or too cooked. The Tatsutaage that we ordered was not Tatsutaage, but more similar to American fried chicken. Tatsutaage is usually coated with Katakuriko (potato starch), but it tasted some kind of flavored flour. I so wish I liked this place since based on the sushi quality the restaurant has good potential....

Walking around Midtown and we found this sushi restaurant hidden in the back of a hotel with a robotic dinosaur in the front window. They had a lot of reservations, but we're gracious and took the 2 of us in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sushi was excellent...especially the blue fin toro. Our son joined us and they brought him over a chair. Very small restaurant with inside and outdoor seating along with a sushi bar and small bar. So glad we dropped in and would go back the next time we're in the area.

Came for a friend's bday dinner at this hidden gem. We ordered karaage and octopus for appetizer and Omakase A. It was a wonderful experience - High value, fresh sushi, great hospitality. All staff are Japanese very patiently and professionally explaining each courses and the source of the ingredients. Highly recommended for sushi lovers. They also have hot plates like tempura or noodles. Would definitely come back and try soon!!

Probably the best sushi I had coming from the west coast.. seems like this place is relatively new considering that there are not many reviews posted. We had $80 sushi omakase, and it was just amazing. Wish there are more places like this in Seattle area.

Authentic Japanese tempura with white egg custard is something that i haven't tried before. The price is a little on the high side but prepare by Japanese sushi chef and super fresh. I would highly recommend if you visit midtown Manhattan.

The food was great. I wanted the uni pon but unfortunately they were out so I had the monkfish liver instead which was great. The sushi and sashimi combo was excellent as well. I also had a calpico chuhai which I really liked.

Pleased to have visit this restaurant at the Henn na hotel we are staying at. It's newly open for about 2 months that's why not a lot of reviews. The sashimi quality was great and did not break our wallet. Deserve a visit!

This is a wonderful place to grab a perfect sushi lunch (or tempura or ramen) with a friend in midtown. The sushi is the star of the show though). It is a bit of a secret gem. The sushi is always fresh, the service is excellent, and while a bit on the pricey side for a quick lunch the high quality ingredients make it worth it. It is also blessedly quiet most days at lunchtime.
