Sushi By M - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"Sushi by M, one of New York’s first under-$100 omakase spots, has a third location on the Upper East Side. They offer two omakase sets, one for $69, and another for $100. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

The Best Tasting Menus in NYC Under $100 | Eater NY

"This well-known, affordable omakase spot closed down its original East Village location and moved into a new, larger space in the same neighborhood in July. While there’s more seating in the new spot, the guiding principle of Sushi by M’s less-expensive, speedy omakase service has remained the same. There are two different menus to choose from at the restaurant: a shorter 12-course option for $60 and a longer 16-course option for $98. The seatings run for approximately one hour." - Ryan Sutton

Top Sushi Omakase for Under $125 in NYC | Eater NY

"This is unfussy yet intimate spot offers chef Tim Lin’s playful take on the omakase experience. It focuses on unique flavor profiles and unexpected combinations such as the Big Mac (an $18 extravaganza with chopped toro, seared toro, wagyu, and two types of uni stacked inside a piece of seaweed). Choose from two omakase choices: a $50 option (12 pieces) and a $95 option (19 pieces). A la carte pieces, which range in price from about $8 to $20, can also be added. Menus change on a weekly basis based on fish availability, but can be reliably counted on to offer things like hamachi, tuna, uni and toro. Each omakase seating is capped at 12 seats per session." - Lorelei Yang

We love fresh sushi and this spot is excellent! We loved the $100 Omakase! It was delicious, creative and had an amazing variety of fresh fish and wonderful flavor! Leo was our chef and he curated and prepared a phenomenal experience for us that was awesome and fun! Annie was our server she was very attentive. We had so much fun and they were very sweet with their birthday surprises for me! I highly recommend Sushi by M!! We will definitely be back!

Recommended by a good friend- so glad we stopped by in NY!! There is so many good options here but I’m glad I listened to my friend and came here!!!!! Food is obviously amazing but service is what makes this place stand out! We were lucky to have Chef Ben and Annie tonight! It was my little brothers first time experiencing omakase and they made it very special for us!!! Highly recommend :) Also thank you to our server for recommending us to go to Anita next door for dessert! Perfect way to end the night :-)

I really wanted to like this spot, but it was just meh. I felt the service was overly attentive in the sense that they were trying to rush you out. The servers hover with iPads trying to take your order. I also found the atmosphere and lighting offputting. I felt like I was in a waiting room at a dentist or a bank definitely not relaxing vibes. Sushi was ok but nothing notable.

Everything was fresh and tasty. We had omakase for our lunch. Very good customer service. We’ll definitely be back.

One of the first things I asked our waitress, Annie, and sushi chef, Leo, was what set Sushi by M apart from every other omakase in the city and they both separately said that the community feel at the restaurant is like no other. Annie and Leo could not have said it better. Their hospitality and attention to detail were like no other. They made us feel like we were having a fun dinner with old friends the moment we sat down. It was such a special dining experience that my friends and I will never forget. If the vibes weren’t enough to make our night, the food was absolutely amazing. I would say it’s an innovative take on a traditional omakase which I appreciated. You have two omakase options, but let me just say that the bigger option is 1000% worth it. Do not sleep on the off menu items they offer at the end either. The Big Mac is a bite I want to remember FOREVER! I foresee Sushi by M being a must do every time we visit New York. No doubt about it.

Kevin is always an amazing host and ton of fun. We appreciate the sake and the karaoke. And of course Tim when he’s around creates such a contagious environment that complements the top tier sushi. My favorite place to bring new friends

I can not say enough great things about our experience. I've been to many omakases now and this has to be my favorite now! From the amazing chef Ming to the creative pieces- we enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish. I honestly could have sat there for another hour enjoying more and more! We got the $100 omakase that includes 2 apps, 15 pieces and a hand roll and I thought that was extremely reasonable for everything they served us! Some of the pieces included sturgeon caviar, toro, a5 waygu, foie gras and uni!! It's hard to say which piece was my favorite because I would think one was my favorite until the next delicious piece came. I think the spoon with foie gras, a5 waygu and uni or the toro with caviar may have been my fav, but ugh it was all great!! I highly recommend visiting them at one of their 3 locations in NYC!! This one was UES and our chef was Ming, he was fantastic!! It's a very chill vibe inside, semi low lighting in a sleek- no frills spot.

Came to NY from Boston for the weekend and wanted to try a new omakase spot. The inside was really clean and spacious. We had a baby in our party and the staff was very friendly about the entire situation! They offered us a seat by the corner where we can be more private. It is also very stroller and car seat friendly! We kept the baby in the stroller :) They offer two different menus- I chose the $69 12 course with one hand roll. We enjoyed each piece and had no complaints about anything there. We also got a bottle of sake which paired really well with the sushi. Overall we had a wonderful experience- the food and staff were amazing! Highly recommend

Was excited to see that Sushi by M made its way to the Upper East Side as I've been to the other location in East Village. Came here to celebrate my friend'a birthday. Place is spacious, clean and modern looking. The waitress and sushi chef were super attentive and checked up on us from time to time. We opted for the $100 omakase course and added on the Big Mac at the end. Each sushi was fresh and the toppings complimented each piece well. The chef made a special sushi cake for my friend's birthday. What a surprise!

I like this place :) I usually go to only Japanese owned sushi restaurant, but this place is exception. Fish here is very fresh , and not too much source on. It means I could feel the real good taste of fish. The shape of sushi is perfect, very clean. If someone who loves American sushi, this place also have wonderful Big Mac sushi :) Everyone is very kind and friendly service. I am glad they opened in upper Eastside. $69 for omakase ,with this quality, it's the best deal in NYC.

I've been to another one of their locations in the Noho - East Village area and loved it so was very excited to hear they started a new location in the UES. Place is very clean and modern looking, as you'd expect for a new restaurant. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us often. They don't sell alcohol but offered us free sake which paired nicely with the sushi. Chef Kevin was a master of his trade. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Fish was fresh and many of the toppings (like caviar) beautifully complimented the fish. Under $70 for good omakase is a fair price in my opinion. I will be recommending this place to my friends in the area.

Went for omakase which was my first big sushi meal after being pregnant - it was fantastic! The fish was so fresh and tender and service was super attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

I'm a sushi lover but have some fish allergies so normally steer clear of omakase. However my boyfriend and I went here on our anniversary and they were so wonderful! Very accommodating to my allergy and just a great ambiance. Above that the food was incredible. It was spacey and didn't feel like you were crammed on top of one another. Would absolutely recommend!

Extremely disappointing. Diner vibe, with bright lights and dull. The sushi is a major disappointment where most of the cuts smelt off and tasted foul. Left feeling borderline scammed. The quality of fish is just too par and it matched with the equally poor ambience and setting.

We've been back twice because it's such a great experience. Incredible omakase with Chef Leo. Beautiful presentation along with excellent cuts and flavorful concoctions. The serving staff is great. We've had Annie and Anthony and each time they've been wonderful. Can't wait to go back!

Opening night at the Upper East Side location and it did not disappoint. From start to finish, everything was lovely. We made a reservations on resy, and due to our earlier dinner time were able to be sat immediately (although there were comfortable seats to wait in for the next dinner seating). Everyone was very kind and attentive, ensuring we liked the dishes. My only complaint would be that I finished my water with two courses left and never got a refill, but new people were coming in at that time and I think they just got a little busy, so I'm not holding it against them! I got the $69 omakase, 12 pieces of sushi and a hand roll, and added an oyster for the finish. While I certainly had a few favorites, I can honestly say that every bite was delicious. They were very nice about substitutions, allowing me the Chu toro instead of Wagyu beef as I'm a pescatarian. There is also a larger $100 omakase menu which seems like it would definitely be worth the price, but the smaller menu certainly filled me up. The restaurant has a very open, well lit floor plan and the seating is all counter seats that are close together but still comfortable. The music level was appropriate for background, pop music that provided a fun atmosphere but wasn't obnoxious. I'm so happy Sushi by M has arrived on the upper east side, I honestly can't wait to return.

So delicious! My boyfriend took me here for dinner and it was truly memorable! The food alone is worth the visit but the staff is beyond wonderful! Truly some of the best service in any restaurant and a very lovely experience altogether. Very recommendable- you will want to come back with your whole family!

I had the bigger omakase option! everything was very good! we asked if they could do no meat or shellfish and they said "oh you want kosher style?" and that was awesome to hear! Perfect for a date night. We had Ming as a chef be was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!

It sounds like you had a fantastic experience! The combination of a great diner vibe, friendly and professional staff, and fresh, high-quality fish really makes for an enjoyable sushi outing. Having a chef who can explain the details of each course adds a nice touch, too. my favorite is hokkaido uni.

The experience was 5 Stars-exactly what we were looking for to celebrate my birthday! Even though the food was delicious, the night wouldn't have been the same without Annie and Chef Leo. They both truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. As this was our first omakase experience, I didn't know what to expect, but I was blown away. Each dish was carefully made to be beautiful with a spectacular taste. Bravo team! I can't wait to come back! Plus it's BYOB!

Absolutely amazing omakase!! The chefs were very nice, food personality, and very knowledgeable. 17 courses for $100/person. Make sure you get there on time so you're not rushed. The fish was absolutely, melt in your mouth, delicious. I am definitely looking forward to going again!
