Happy Tuna Sushi & Crispy Rice - Grand Central

Picked up two sushi boxes from Happy Tuna Grand Central and had the cutest picnic in Central Park! The presentation was gorgeous, even in takeout form, and everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect park lunch, easy to carry, light but satisfying, and so pretty in photos. Definitely recommend grabbing their sushi to-go for an outdoor date or solo chill time. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Happy Tuna at Grand Central is a total gem! I stopped by for a quick bite and was seriously impressed by the quality and freshness of the food. The sushi was absolutely delicious—super fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and beautifully put together. I tried a couple of their signature rolls and they were bursting with flavor. You can really tell they care about the ingredients and presentation. The service was fast and friendly, which is especially great if you’re in a rush or grabbing lunch during a busy day. Even though it’s in such a bustling location, the place felt clean, organized, and welcoming. The staff was helpful and made some great recommendations too. Whether you’re a sushi lover or just looking for a fresh, satisfying meal near Grand Central, Happy Tuna is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I stopped by Happy Tuna for a solo lunch since it was nearby and ended up getting the Nigiri Galore set for $39. It came with two pieces each of salmon, yellowtail, albacore, and shrimp nigiri, along with miso soup, edamame, three pieces of spicy tuna crispy rice, and a roll of your choice. I paid $1 for the spicy scallop roll. I love that that offer three sauce options, cause who doesn’t love spicy mayo?! The salmon nigiri was the standout—fresh and buttery, it practically melted in my mouth. The other nigiri pieces were ok. The crispy rice was solid too, with a nice crunch topped with jalapeños. Overall, the portion size was great and definitely filling. Totally worth it! The service was great, staff were attentive, checked in regularly, and kept my water filled. I’d definitely come back, especially to try their hand rolls next time.

The fist quality is decent. I liked the happy bite lunch box and find it to be the most comprehensive meal but the donburi is also filling with quite a bit of rice. I find the salmon of the salmon avocado roll to be chopped a little too fine. There is seating and typically not a long wait.

Had the best lunch at Happy Tuna! I ordered one of their Lunch Specials, which came with two rolls, a miso soup, and edamame—and everything was so yummy. The rolls were perfectly portioned, and the salmon was fresh. The space itself is beautiful and clean, with such a warm and welcoming vibe. Huge thanks to Nick and Lee for making the experience so lovely! They were so attentive and made sure everything was up to par. Also… their iced matcha latte 10/10. Coming from a matcha lover, that says a lot. 💕✨

Terrific counter service but this place is not much more than deliberate fast food and prices add up quickly. True, the sushi rolls and bowls are done with care. Very good, fresh fish, tasty meal and I enjoyed a Hojica Latte. But $35pp is too much!

We needed a quick dinner spot by Grand Central, and this was it. Nice staff, but eh food for the most part. From best to eh-est: - Salmon Avocado Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Scallop Roll: Maki pieces are slightly larger than average and you generally get 8 pieces per maki, so this is the best bang for your buck - Crab Roll: They were out of lobster, which made me cry crustacean tears, but this wasn't bad and the crab meat was at least real - Salmon Nigiri, Unagi Nigiri, Scallop Nigiri, Shrimp Nigiri, Tuna Nigiri, Yellowtail Nigiri, Albacore Nigiri: About as exciting as nigiri gets, but at least you're not paying $20 per piece to call it "omakase" (*eyerolls in poor*) - Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna: Too-hard rice meets too-bland tuna for a mouth experience that's the taste equivalent of a 1999 Toyota Corolla - Edamame: Dunno why this was served ice cold and devoid of any seasoning. If it doesn't come free with one of their combos, don't bother ordering this a la carte unless you love wasting money Also, the decor is lovely for a casual dinner, though the plant mama in me cried when I realized all the houseplants were fake.

I have ordered from theirs other location - and was so happy to see they opened this spot! It's a great option to stop by on my commute back home and you can't beat the prices for the quality of food. The combos offer great options and was surprised by the portions. I've also had their crispy rice and it's to do for - I don't review often but was impressed by this place - 10/10
