"Mari is wonderful, but a meal there costs more than a round-trip flight to Miami. If you need something more practical, Mari.ne is the perfect alternative. It’s from the same people, in a narrow, pistachio-colored space near Bryant Park. The setup is casual, with a single bar lined with low stools, and the brief menu is centered around handrolls with a mix of Korean and Japanese influence. Get a set starting at $25, or just choose a few, like the creamy crab salad and seared wagyu that’s sweet as bulgogi." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick

"For a quick bite of caviar, try a sushi spot. There are many places around town where you can get your roe piled on a piece of nigiri, or, in the case of Mari.ne, inside of a handroll. Grab a stool at this casual Midtown counter from the people behind Mari, and, for $28, enjoy some warm rice, fatty tuna, and caviar wrapped in crisp seaweed. That particular handroll won’t make much of a dent in your hunger, but you can supplement with a few of the other Korean-inspired options that run around $6 each." - bryan kim

"A half-block off Bryant Park, Mari.ne is a bright, narrow restaurant where you can sit at a counter lined with low stools and grab a quick bite. The pastel green spot, from the folks behind Mari, specializes in Korean-influenced hand rolls, with options that include scallop, crab, and confit spicy tuna, as well as a few vegan varieties like yuba and soy bulgogi. Aside from a fatty tuna roll stuffed with salty bubbles of caviar, the food isn’t especially memorable, but it'll scratch any itch for relatively affordable raw fish. Expect to spend around $50 per person, and make a reservation if you don’t want to wait. photo credit: Dan Ahn photo credit: Dan Ahn photo credit: Dan Ahn" - Bryan Kim

Delicious and also affordable meal. Will definitely be back. I don’t even like Salmon but I loved their Salmon hand roll. The shrimp appetizer looks small but those shrimp were big and meaty they filled me up and I actually couldnt finish my last hand roll because I was too full. I ordered the 5 setter and all were very good. Although the menu doesn’t say it, all the hand rolls come prepared with different garnishments to balance out the flavor and they all paired well with the fish.

Good Rolls, but Room for Improvement We ordered five rolls and a few sides. The Fatty Tuna Roll is a must-try—it really stood out. The rest of the rolls were decent, but nothing exceptional. The atmosphere was okay, nothing remarkable. I did feel that the Spicy Tuna Roll had a bit too much sauce mixed in, which overpowered the flavor. As for freshness, Mari.ne could use a bit of improvement in that area. Overall, it’s a decent spot, but with a few tweaks, it could be even better.

One of the many handroll bars in New York - this spot has a good chunk of ingredients with tasty flavors but overall still lacks something special. The sauce options don’t make as much sense especially when most of the fish are flavored. Reliable spot for a good meal but nothing to shout about.

if you're looking for a place to get handrolls, mari.ne is a good spot near times square! they have two handroll sets you can choose from, one of them being vegan. the fish tasted fresh, and i was also pleasantly surprised by how tasty the vegan set was! we loved the appetizers - the trevisano salad and the shrimp tempura. the salad was so refreshing and the shrimp tempura sauce was super addicting. make sure to make a reservation in advance because they only seat a handful of people!

When I think about the meals I’ve had this year and dining at Mari.ne is one of them. It’s a hand roll counter situation (15 seats total). Reservations are a must. It’s not far from Bryant Park so easy to get to using public transportation. The fatty tuna still lives rent free in my mind. The confit spicy tuna… mind blowing. The soju cocktails were strong and so delicious (we didn’t even realize they had booze until a few sips). The fish broth soup!! I could eat it everyday honestly. I was so full towards the end of the meal because we got the max amount of rolls in the hand roll set. I would suggest going with the 4 rolls if you plan on getting soup and appetizers. I already have plans to go back here it’s such a chill vibe and I always love watching my hand rolls being made in front of me. This is definitely a place to check out if you like sushi.

Mari.Ne handroll is a hidden gem behind the Michelin-starred restaurant Mari by Chef Sungchul Shim. We started with the Trevisano salad—a perfect balance of grapefruit, chili oil, hazelnuts, Parmesan, and big eye tuna. The Skate Katsu, with its beurre blanc sauce and lemon, was both crispy and tender. The handrolls stole the show, especially the salmon and wagyu. The fatty tuna paired beautifully with the Mari blend soy sauce, and the shrimp with avocado was creamy and flavorful. For dessert, the yuzu cake with blueberry compote was a refreshing sweet contrast. The attention to detail, quality, and ambiance make Mari.Ne a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!

Had the best experience at Mari.ne. this evening! Luke made all of our hand rolls and was so friendly to us as we sat and watched him work. As a former vegetarian, I was very impressed with the vegan handroll selection offered. I was delightfully surprised by the avocado broccoli roll and Yuba roll. The standard 5 handroll set was delicious as well, a perfect balance of cold fresh fish, crispy Nori and warm rice. I would go back for the fatty tuna and yellowtail rolls alone! Had to try the soup Marine has a wonderful atmosphere - quiet, calm, yet bustling with good people enjoying excellent food. It's the perfect escape from the chaos that is Times Square. I can't wait to return on a cold day for the Janchi Guksu, a brothy noodle soup filled with flavor. If only I had two stomachs!! Despite being so full we had to try the Yuzu custard cake with blueberry compote. I could've licked the plate clean!

Been wanting to visit Mari.ne for so long as I loved dinning at their Michelin-starred sister restaurant Mari. I’m a sucker for handrolls and the ones here were double the size of other spots! I also love how you can order dishes like noodles, dumplings, and other small dishes to pair with your meal. We also tried their strawberry & mango soju coolers and they were delicious. Don’t forget to end your meal off with their unforgettable yuzu custard cake with blueberry compote 🍋🫐! (P.S.) all their sauces are homemade!
