"Fish and sushi delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"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." - Team Infatuation
"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
"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
"This UES neighborhood gem has a two-decade-plus reputation for selling excellent, made-to-order sushi to-go. DoorDash is now delivering the sushi, sashimi, and maki. Rolls start at $4.50, and sushi goes for $3 a piece." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner, Eater Staff
