Sushi 295 Mercer

One of the best sushi I've EVER had!!! Cute little place, they make the food right in front of you, everything is super fresh and tasty. We visited twice, and both times there was no crowd. Friendly and helpful staff, amazing flavors, and such reasonable prices!!! A must-visit!

The quality of the fish is so good compared to the price. Other sushi takeout spots that offer a similar menu would charge double the amount here so I definitely think this place is well worth the price. Fav was the scallop and salmon nigiri.

THIS IS THE BEST TAKEOUT IN NYC!!!!! This tastes like 5 start omakase to go. Their sushi is so fresh, their staff is so nice when you eat inside, and their sushi counter is small and super intimate. I’m OBSESSED with their sushi premium box which comes with the best toro roll ever and all the best pieces of nigiri. Their ikura is outstanding, i live for their uni, and all of there toro is TO DIE!!! I also love their 3 roll box combo. their best roll is spicy scallop. ORDER ASAP🫶🏼🍣🤭🥹♥️✨

Fresh, incredible sushi paired with friendly service! This intimate sushi spot sits only 5 people but is very active for takeout. Sushi 296 Mercer is known for well-priced, extremely high quality fish that you can taste. Omakase is only $55, and I got lucky with a walk-in spot on a Wednesday. Sushi sets range from $33-$42 dollars. I’m based in Seattle, WA, and can’t imagine finding something this fresh for that price. I genuinely think this is the best sushi I’ve eaten (even compared to meals $100+). If you live nearby, I deeply envy you.

🍣 Sushi 295 Mercer: A Hidden Gem in Greenwich village 🍣 Nestled cleverly at the name address, Sushi 295 Mercer is a delightful surprise. It’s not easy to spot from the outside, especially for fast walkers. Once you step inside, you see a counter with just 4 chairs, but believe me - you’re in for a treat. Here’s why Sushi 295 Mercer stands out: Quality Fish: The owner focus is on top-notch fish. For just $23, you get a generous lunch meal of twelve sashimi, along with sushi rice on the side. The fish practically melts in your mouth, with exquisite flavors. I loved the sushi rice (not many places pay particular attention to it) – it was just the right texture, temperature, and the delicate taste – bravo! Authentic Experience: The ambiance is cozy, not vested much in interior design – but in the food. It feels local, fits well into the neighborhood, and the friendly staff adds to the warm atmosphere. Omakase Option: If you feel adventurous, they also have 12 pieces sushi omakase. I went for Sushi & Sashimi dinner set of 6 nigiri and 9 sashimi accompanied by a toro roll (some extra). Still remember the taste of each piece, from yellowtail to salmon to scallop to tuna to toro. Exquisite! Trust me, it is worth exploring. Whether you’re dining solo or grabbing takeout, whether you’re after exquisite sashimi or grabbing a spicy roll, Sushi 295 Mercer delivers quality sushi. Expect lines at times —word has spreading about this hidden gem! Excellent value for your money. Highly recommend.

This high-quality takeout omakase is a standout choice for sushi aficionados. The buttery tuna melts in your mouth, delivering rich, savory flavors. The o-toro and chu-toro are particularly amazing, with their luxurious textures and deep, satisfying taste. The sea urchin is equally exquisite, with a fresh, creamy texture that exemplifies top-tier seafood. Each piece is expertly crafted, ensuring a gourmet dining experience right at home. For those seeking premium sushi takeout, this omakase is an exceptional option.

the BEST sushi experience. I would've never thought they only seat 4 guests. super personal experience. the chefs were amazing. extremely reasonable pricing. and the best tasting sushi I've ever had in my life. this place has a spot in my dreams. only thing to keep in mind is they do NOT have a restroom.

Just ate here for the first time with a group for lunch and holy shit. This is amazing. You made me look great in front of my business partners. Thank you. Will definitely be back.

The freshness of the fish is amazing and you can definitely tell the difference from the flavor that comes out. Although more expensive than your local sushi spot, it's nice to have occasionally when wanting quality over quantity. The spicy mayo which I typically drown my sushi in, is not really needed to due to the natural flavors of the fish. Highly recommended the Sushi Regular Special

My fave sushi in the city! Mainly a takeout spot with very limited seating. Clean inside with great staff. I've ordered to go and eaten inside. What I've tried- Sushi Premium: The best. Love that it cakes with uni and toro. The toro taku roll is unmatched! So fresh and great quality Miso Soup: A little inconsistent from time to time (sometimes under seasoned, sometimes perfectly umami). Love that it has tofu, seaweed AND tofu skin 3 Roll Combo: Spicy salmon, eel cucumber and salmon avocado. All good, toro taku still takes the cake for me! Can't recommend this place enough! Great quality, fast and always satisfies. It could be considered pricy but I think for the quality it's worth it! There's def lower grade sushi out there and for a lot more. Def try this spot out!

I had heard that this place had very limited seating, so I got an order for takeout to eat in the park. It took a little longer than I expected, but the the sushi preparation and fish were very high-quality! I only get 3 nigiri a la carte (sea bream, scallop, and spot prawn) since I wasn't that hungry. I really loved how thick and sweet the scallop was! And the spot prawn had a nice texture. Overall, I think it's worth the price point, and as far as takeout sushi goes, this is some of the most delicious I've had in this area!

Such great take out. A bit pricey but the quality is definitely there. Love this for a quick dinner at home. Speedy service and clean! Love love

Excellent hidden gem! Only 4 seats at the sushi bar, i love it. Very fresh sushi, delicious. Great prices! Very nice people.

Called for a pick up order for a sushi premium and brought it home all the way to Queens and the rice was still nice and Chewy and perfect for sushi. The sushi was high quality which validates their price point. I would definitely come back to dine in but they do fill up quickly since there is only seating for 4.

Best sushi takeout in NYC! I order the Sushi 3 Roll Combo here almost every week and it is FABULOUS! Cannot say enough good things about this place.

Good food, and good service. Very small, but soooo good and fresh. No booze or desert just strait up Sushi. It's a little pricy for what you get, but the sushi is excellent. I would go for lunch again. Two people $70 with tip. The price and lack of alcoholic options keep it at 4 stars but the service, atmosphere, and food keep it at 4 stars.

My first impression: Decent, but not my favorite. Sushi was slightly smaller compared to other sushi places that are selling similar sushi sets/prices. There was more rice than fish. I would give it another try but a different set (wasn't a fan of the toro taku roll).

Good no frills, quick fix sushi spot near NYU. Sushi 295 Mercer has what you need to fulfill your sushi craving. Here's what you need to know: 1. It's a tight space so make a reservation if you can. 2. No customer restroom inside. 3. Straightforward and good sushi. You won't find complex rolls here but you don't need to. 4. Good service.

I was quite excited to try this spot and made my way over for take-out lunch to enjoy at the park nearby. The restaurant is super tiny and intimate seating only 4 people. It seems like a lot of people just get take-out here, which I did as well. I came for the Sushi and Sashimi Lunch ($25.95), which included 7 sashimi, 4 nigiri, California roll, and a salad. It took about 5-10 minutes for my food to be prepared and they brought it outside to me once it was ready. The service was quick and friendly. As for the food itself, it was good but nothing better than something you might find at the Japanese grocery stores. As many others mentioned, the salad is often tossed and I can see why. They need to just not include it or replace with some seaweed salad or something. It's good and convenient if you're craving sushi to enjoy at Washington Square Park, but not enough for me to return sadly.

I hosted my family here when they came to town and it was one of the most memorable meals we've shared since we had the whole restaurant to ourselves and the staff and sushi chefs were so kind and informative about all the fish. I love you sushi 295 :)

I'm going to do my best to get through this review without mentioning my Japan trip, but it's going to take everything I have. I feel like the meme of the guy ready to explode from trying to keep his mouth shut, veins bludgeoning out of his neck and forehead. Oh you haven't been to Japan?????? Sushi 295 Mercer is the best Sushi I have had since my trip to......I mean Sushi 295 Mercer is legitimately the best sushi I have had in the United States of America. A friend, who has impeccable food taste, recommended it to me as he said it was his favorite sushi in NYC, but that it's "super lowkey" and "hasn't blown up yet." The cat has yet to be let out of the bag so to speak. Since there are only 4 seats for dine-in, I was JUICED when I got a res 3 days before as a budding love interest and I had made plans to grab food. "Oh yeah I got us a res at this sushi spot I've been dying to try, only 4 seats in the place tho!" I'm so cool and trendy Hehe haha :) Upon our initial walk by, we missed it as the sign is discrete so keep your eyes and ears up. Head on a swivel always. We walked in and were greeted by this cute Japanese lady, and she pointed to 2 seats at the sushi bar that were an arms distance away. This place truly is tiny, but authentic and cute without taking itself too seriously. Everything in here is functional, there is no added decor to try and impress. This is precisely what I loved about my time in Jap....I mean this is what I've read about Japan. It's all about functionality over there, and every good restaurant is essentially no frills. Everything and everyone serves a purpose, no ostentation for ostentation's sake. Or so I've read....... While sitting at the bar, the employees are cutting the fish right there in front of you, cranking out togo orders like the Vietnamese were cranking out heroin for Frank Lucas back in the late 60's. This spot is definitely more geared toward togo orders... I mean obviously. There are only 4 seats lmao. We started with a miso soup, and ordered the sushi for 2 which comes with 30 pieces of sushi. After a short argument on whether the items in a miso soup were called "fixings" or "fixins," which I obviously won but the aforementioned budding love interest could not admit defeat, our sushi arrived. It is true artistry here. The quality of fish is 2nd to none and I can only imagine it would remind someone of the best sushi that they had had on a trip to Japan.... Please watch the video I attached here, my goodness. I'm getting hungry just watching it back. Every bite literally melts in your mouth and the fish is as fresh as the Notre Dame head coaches fade for a national televised game. He's really fresh out the chair for those games lmaaooo. Not sure where they are getting their fish from or how it can be this much better than anywhere else I've been lol. The fatty tuna, the piece of charred salmon, and the eel were a 3 way tie for my favorite piece. The triple crown. I don't know how else to articulate how good this sushi was. I am at a loss for words for once. I will quite literally never order takeout sushi from anywhere else, as this place isn't even that expensive. I'd say it's relatively low priced for sushi in NYC. Y'all can keep Bondst, Sugar Fish, Sushi by M, Nobu, etc. I'm ROCKIN with Sushi 295 Mercer. Something special is going on here. Makes me want to book a Japan trip.....................

What an absolute gem. Stopped in here without a reservation, albeit at an odd time, on a Thursday and was immediately seated in this intimate sushi restaurant. Everything we ordered was sublime and reasonably priced given the neighborhood. Thanks Sushi 295 will be back!

Super fresh and good quality fish!! I got takeout as well and it was super good and affordable for the quality of fish. The sushi rice they use is also a chefs kiss in terms of texture and flavor. Got the salmon sashimi salad and the toro scallion roll, both of which I highly recommend! The toro was super fresh and the scallion added a nice touch of freshness. The salmon was also buttery soft and the salad had a nice gingery dressing.

Really tasty sushi. Sushi 35 West is better, but this is very good. Uni was a little bitter :( Eal was outstanding. All the Uni I have had at Sushi 35 has been sweet so far. Sitting at the bar is fun (only 4 times), but much more a takeout place. My second time here.

Woah! Fish texture was amazing. Staff was friendly at pickup. Online ordering is smooth. I'd order again! The restaurant only has a sushi bar with four seats, but they have a strong takeout system.

Warning, very small place. Literally seats only 4 people. I saw a lot of take out. Good thing I called to make a lunch reservation. I don't know where I saw their omakase for $100 but it was half of that. We thought we were getting 8 pieces but they gave us an additional 2. Not the best omakase I've had but also not the worse. The 5 stars are for the quality and the price. Very fresh fishes. The service was very good too.

Ordered three rolls for takeout: spicy salmon, spicy scallop, and toro scallion. It did not disappoint!!! I ordered a side of spicy mayo as well (this was extra) but well worth it! Since the 3 set combo doesn't include the spicy scallop or toro scallion options, I opted to just order them separately. The toro scallion was my favorite. If you're ever craving sushi - this is the spot!

- really lovely experience - ordered the 30 piece premium omakase set to share ($100) and added the sweet shrimp at the end ($8 per piece) highly recommend both - the pieces are slightly on the smaller side but the quality is fantastic and honestly a steal compared to other similar omakases - only 4 seats at the bar (2 seats outside) but takes reservations - will likely be my new take out place - very excited to do omakase picnics once the weather warms up a bit - hole in the wall - pleasant personable staff

Review for take out . Got the lunch special Sushi and Sashimi lunch $ 25.95 ( 7 pieces sashimi, 4 pieces nigiri, 1 california roll. Everything was fresh and came with a side greens salad .

Most intimate omakase experiences i have had! Only seats 3 but they do tons of take out orders all night. Got varieties of sashimi and rolls. The fish tasted very fresh. Perfect for a low key night but reservations are super limited!

best of the best!!! so obsessed and the takeout is great. #1 for a reason don't hesitate.

Got the premium set, A5 wagyu, and miso soup. The fish (especially salmon - absolute melt in your mouth), uni, and wagyu were delightful. They use real wasabi root which is really important for me and shows me that you care about the details. Got so lucky with the walk in (make a reso if you want to eat there) and the ambience was so intimate and pleasant because the service staff were so friendly. A true 10/10 restaurant for me and will easily become my go to solo dining spot for a pick-me-up or as a personal reward.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. Good quality and I'll say good value by Manhattan standards though not inexpensive. I enjoyed the 36.95 sushi regular lunch special which was delivered on time.

I thought the price of the food was fair. Ordered takeout through DD. The presentation could have been better but that might the nature of delivery. Got the sushi premium and the spicy tuna avocado roll. enjoyed the rolls but the sushi piece were only okay. Wouldn't call it affordable omakase quality but should say it's above the average sushi place. Probably would recommend more of the rolls. The sushi piece didn't feel that great quality

Loved it! Got the sushi premium and it was high quality, ready fast, and delicious. Would order take out again when in the area

Hands down some of the best sushi we have had in the city! This is a small and quaint spot, there are only 4 seats so you absolutely must make a reservation if you plan to eat in. I saw a ton of takeout orders coming out while we were eating. The chefs were phenomenal. We got the sushi for two, and every single piece of sushi was excellent. The uni was some of the best I have had- so fresh and creamy, no bitter after taste. The eel was phenomenal, you can tell they use quality ingredients. The toro was melt in your mouth buttery! I cannot wait to come back. The scallop also melted on your palate. Chefs were so friendly too.

This place is great, it's almost a sushi speakeasy. They have a counter for 4 if you want to go in but be mindful it's BYOB and has no bathroom onsite but it's an hour so you should be able to make it through. The sushi is fantastic, the quality of the fish is awesome and the chef has worked at Nobu and Masa previously. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go but ordering to go / or delivery it's also fantastic and the pricing is also great.

Value sushi, I will define, is high quality and appropriately well priced. This model of sushi sales has risen even to the occasion of affordable omakase. Shinn East, Thirteen Water and Sushi by M, come to mind. Sushi 295 Mercer has been making its way around on TikTok, and for right reason. The nigiri feature obviously high quality and albeit unadorned, approchably priced. The rules are equally as good, and a number of luxury sushi fish are available in both formats. Perfect for knee jerk delivery orders when you're in the mood.

THIS IS THE BEST TAKEOUT IN NYC!!!!! This tastes like 5 start omakase to go. Their sushi is so fresh, their staff is so nice when you eat inside, and their sushi counter is small and super intimate. I'm OBSESSED with their sushi premium box which comes with the best toro roll ever and all the best pieces of nigiri. Their ikura is outstanding, i live for their uni, and all of there toro is TO DIE!!! I also love their 3 roll box combo. their best roll is spicy scallop. ORDER ASAP

The freshness of the fish is what makes this place so different. The fish itself is nothing special, the typical salmon, toro etc. but the freshness and taste is so refreshing.The price was good too. $55 for 12pc omakase and $100 for 30pc. I do wish the omakase style applied here. We did the 12pc omakase but it was just all the pieces served on one plate with two pieces handed to you. We originally wear going to do the 30pc but the 30pc is to TWO people not one and has repeat pieces. That is some insight to the menu^^ The place itself is SUPER small basically four seats at the bar and there were hooks behind you to put your coat and bags. But it was still a great experience. Highly recommend and definitely would come back :)

We ordered the sushi premium, which was a roll and 10 pieces of nigiri. The fish was fresh and excellent, and their nigiri pieces were pretty generous. Also the rice was cook perfectly, and had a nice balance of sweetness and vinegar. We ordered to go, which didn't seem to affect the taste.

It's a small restaurant on Mercer Street. There's 4 counter seatings inside so highly recommend a reservation in advance. My friends and I ordered the omakase and it was worth the price! You get 12 pieces of sushi for $55. It's a little different than your typical omakase. They make all the pieces first, put it on a plate and then serve it to you. Fishes were fresh and I was thoroughly surprised with the firefly squid (it was so good!). We were all very happy with the quality and price. Will certainly be back to try their other stuff!

Amazing spot for take out sushi, but tbh I've dined in both times haha! It's great quality at a very reasonable price, and as good quality sushi goes, cheaper and better than other spots that offer the same thing. It's small, so you might have to wait a little bit after you place the order, but they're really sweet. My top choices are def the Yellowtail Jalapeño, and the Salmon Ikura don. Really delicious!

Placed an order in advance for take out. Ordered the sushi regular. It was already ready by the time I got there. The place is very small so I'm glad I ordered for takeout. The fish was very fresh and juicy. I'd def stop by again and order other boxes or even dine in. Washington square Park is nearby if you're looking for public seating.

i've been to tons of omakase or sushi restaurants but nothing compares to this place. sushi 295 mercer sits at my number 1 sushi place. each piece was so fresh and melted in my mouth. the rice was well seasoned and paired well with the hints of wasabi. the sashimi pieces were the freshest! we ordered the 30 piece for $100 which comes out to 15 piece for $50 per person, which is a steal compared to other omakase places. we also splurged on sashimi premium. service was immaculate. the chef made sure we were doing good and conversed with us. he even showed us how to take really good photos! this place is small, with only 4 seats so i recommend making reservations by calling in! what a hidden gem

Super fresh and melts in your mouth sushi! Good value for $38. Ordered to-go and it was finished pretty fast. They still make your order on the omakase counter in front of you even for takeout, so you can see them make every piece fresh.

This was such an amazing experience, truly. I have been to Nobu and I would choose Sushi 295 over it EVERY SINGLE TIME. The staff is amazing, the fish is amazing, I am so glad we stumbled upon it because it will be my husband and I's go to from here on out. Amazing staff, and amazing fish, WOW!!

Quality of fish was good overall but portion was so small. I had several sushiya in ny and Japan but never had nigiri that small.. I was still hungry looking for food after omakase + $19 tuna roll+ ebi nigiri + toro nigiri. I am usually pretty full after regular sushi sets elsewhere.. I don't think I will go here again.

Oh, sushi, my dear, A feast for the senses, so clear. In this intimate place, just four seats, I converse with the chef, like a date, oh so sweet. I show my respect for the fish, My research and homework, my only wish. I appreciate his art, his skill, Seeing through to his essence, a thrill. For I am not like the others, you see, I understand the real you, deep inside, with glee. Sushi, a connection beyond taste, A bond with the chef, a moment embraced.

Amazingly good. Tiny seating area (bar that seats 4 max)....so not the most ideal but once seated, everyone is super nice. Sushi was really good. Clearly the word is out because their takeout and delivery business seemed non stop.

I truly do not understand how the fish was able to be this good. Even with the pickup order we placed, it was some of the best sushi I've had in years. Absolutely fantastic!

Grabbed a quick takeaway lunch and it was SO GOOD! Fish quality was really good and loved the variety in this lunch set. It also came with a side salad that had a soy base dressing. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to splurge on lunch sushi!

The most amazing sushi delivery in the neighborhood. The fish is incredibly fresh for such a good price. Such a hidden gem!

Incredible fish of great quality, incredible owner, all for an incredible price. Would highly highly recommend the sushi premium set.

Amazing food and service sushi es really fresh and delicious. It's pretty small but that's not a problem u definitely need a reservation.

I ordered take out and loved the freshness of the fish. I am usually weird about salmon but loved their spicy salmon roll!

Got two 3 roll boxes and was so pleasantly surprised with the quality of the fish. The salmon was absolutely delicious, some of the best quality sushi I've had in Manhattan. The yellowtail jalapeño was also great. They included ponzu and soy without me asking, and the ponzu was a really nice touch and complemented the yellowtail beautifully So grateful this place opened up across the street!!! Looking forward to getting take out from here multiple times a week!
