"Roy’s looks like it's just another old-school neighborhood fishmonger, but there's a small sushi bar in the corner. The quality of the rolls, nigiri, and sashimi is impressive—especially considering the majority of the combo platters cost under $20. Seating options are limited to a small bench with no table, but you can always just take your fluke and salmon to go." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Fish and sushi delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"The heart-shaped neon sign displayed in the window of Roy’s sums up how we feel about their sushi. This market looks like just another old-school neighborhood fishmonger, but there's a small sushi bar in the corner past the refrigerated display of fish heads, salmon fillets, and crabs. The quality of the rolls, nigiri, and sashimi is impressive—especially considering the majority of the combos cost under $25. Since Roy’s is primarily a market, your seating options are limited to a small bench with no table, but you can always take your fluke, yellowtail, and spicy tuna roll to go." - hannah albertine, hillary reinsberg, neha talreja, kenny yang
"If the window display at Roy’s didn’t have a pink neon heart with the word “sushi” inside, it would look like just another old-school, neighborhood fishmonger. Follow the neon heart, pass the refrigerator of fish heads, salmon fillets, and crabs, and you’ll find yourself in Roy’s sushi bar corner. Since you’re purchasing sushi inside of a very small fish market, your seating options are limited to a small bench with no table. But it also means that the quality of the rolls, nigiri, and sashimi combos is noticeably impressive - especially considering the majority of the combo platters cost under $15." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"Roy’s Fish Market is, indeed, a tiny fish market on the Upper East Side. But it also has a sushi counter, and they make a bunch of different sushi and sashimi combos (most of which are less than $25). It’s ideal for a Wednesday night when you need a piece of yellowtail to sit by your side and ask you how your day was, and you can order directly by calling 212-838-3587." - team infatuation
