The Best Restaurants Near Union Square

"Think of Kazunori as Sugarfish’s fast casual cousin. Just like its predecessor, Kazunori usually has a line, but it moves quickly, and once you’re inside you can be in and out in 30 minutes. Unlike Sugarfish, this place does handrolls, and they do them very well, overflowing with fatty tuna or buttery scallop. There are no waiters—just a long bar and paper slips where you check off what you want with a pencil—but it’s still perfect for a quick date night with someone you already know everything about, or a weeknight meal with a friend.

Would eat here every week if I could. Best quality for the price rolls. About $20-25 per person and can get about 3 rolls. Each roll tasted distinct and the rice and seaweed were so well flavored. My favorite was the eel roll. Out of this world. The wait can get long so would recommend coming off-peak hours.

Overall, had a pleasurable experience at the restaurant. After being seated quickly, we placed our orders and were eating in no time. By the end of the meal, my friend and I with our stomachs full, went to pay the check only to find out that they did not take tap to pay. During this unfortunate situation, we have to get crafty and find an alternative way to pay leaving a scar on our opinion of the restaurant. If I was in town again, it’s somewhere I might stop by, but it’s definitely not a must go. It’s a fun experience for those who have not tried it, but I hope Kazunori is able to figure out their payment situation in the future. I also went to the bathroom, which was quite far in the back of the restaurant nice nonetheless. (Full disclosure. It was a little pricey.)

Hidden Gem in NY. It's a small restaurant and there is always a line at the door. If you don't feel like standing in the line you can order online or at the counter and take out. The food is amazing, they use very fresh ingredients and there are quite a few options of rolls. It's a little pricey but you are paying for the good quality products and the fresh fish. Unfortunately they do not take reservations, so get there a little earlier.

This place simply has great the food and incredibly tasty, the price was expensive but well worth it. As you enter Kazu nori you are given a menu in which you mark off the items that you would like. The place is extremely organized and each person stand in a station ready to go. The rice is nice and warm and the seaweed it heaven. The fish is great as well. The only issues I foresee with this restaurant is that it is a bit depressing and the people working there had no emotion. The lighting was also very dim. But overall the food was great and also the food it made directly in front of you so you can see how it is made. Thank you, JO reviews out.

I would give 10 stars if I could!! This place was recommended by a friend, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, the food was super fresh and fast. It was my first time trying sushi with warm rice, and it was sooo good! We usually don’t repeat restaurants when traveling, but we had to come back before heading back to Brasil!

High quality sushi spot. Prices to match. All of the sushi pieces are soft and fresh. They don't have any fishy taste. The rolls are well prepared, rice is not mushy, the rolls hold together. 16 Piece regular set rating 8/10 Good quality at around $23 The cucumber roll is only ok. The fishes are great. The sea bream in the other sets is very good so at an additional $5 it's worth it. I think this is the most worth it set at around $28. The 16 Piece with sashimi is decent but at $32 it's not as worth it. You still have a cucumber roll in there. This portion is the right amount of food, you're not going to be stuffed and you will not be hungry. You will have room for dessert and/or coffee/tea. The takeout packaging is very nice and professional including a wet wipe, and nothing spills over. The takeout box gives you a premium feel to your lunch. You can't get hand rolls for takeout because they need to be eaten right away. This is a no-tip establishment.

First off tips are not allowed, wow. And the service was still very good. The fish was very good and of course the hand rolls are crispy, you eat before the seaweed gets soft. The best part, the rice. Sushi rice is the most important component and the cheapest part, but so many places get it wrong. Rice was warm, had the right stickiness and allowed the fish to be the star. This place is definite repeat.

Always my go to place with friends. There’s always a wait, but the wait is well worth it. It’s a very cozy place and each hand roll is served fresh one at a time. It’s a great place to catch up with your friends and you never feel rushed to leave. Today I got the 5-piece set with eel hand roll. When you bite into it, the seed weed has a crunch and everything just melt into your mouth. 10/10 would recommend.
