"Sushi 456 offers several menu items that deliver value. The “special sushi” with eight pieces of nigiri plus a roll priced at $50 is distinguished, with a smaller assortment available at lunch for $35. On a recent visit medium fatty tuna was included, some maki rolls using the same tuna in a spicy mash-up, and a marinated scallop that stole the show. At $45, the chirashi — a selection of fish over sushi rice served in a bowl — was an even better deal." - Robert Sietsema
"If you just walk by and peek in the window, Sushi 456 in the West Village looks like a somewhat nicer version of your average casual sushi spot. It’s a tiny space with a small counter up front, and a few tables to the side, and the soundtrack consists of smooth jazz. But most casual sushi spots don’t serve pieces of nigiri that are as perfect and precise as what you’ll find here. The king salmon is buttery, the scallop is fruity and floral, and even the leanest tuna melts in your mouth. You can get 10 nigiri and one handroll for $70, or 15 nigiri and a handroll for $100." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman

"Sushi 456 looks unremarkable, but don’t let that fool you. This little place on Hudson Street—with a small counter, a few tables, and a smooth jazz soundtrack—is one of the top sushi destinations in the West Village. Think of 456 as an overachieving neighborhood spot where you can eat a few rolls or have a 10-piece $70 omakase with impeccable fish like silky king salmon and amberjack with bits of jalapeño. Reservations aren’t hard to get, and you can bring your own booze." - Team Infatuation
"The city is flooded with places where you can get an , but Sushi 456 is secretly one of your best options. This restaurant doesn't really look like much. It's on a relatively quiet stretch of Hudson Street, and it has a casual, bare-bones dining room with a small chef's counter and a handful of plain wooden tables. If you sit at a table, you can order à la carte, but for the full experience, get a seat at the counter and go the omakase route. There are two options—$70 for 10 pieces or $100 for 15—and the less-expensive one is still plenty luxurious. Pieces like buttery king salmon and amberjack with bits of jalapeño are served at precisely the right melt-in-your-mouth temperature, and it's the little details like this (along with the solid fish selection) that set 456 apart.
