Sushi Lin is a cozy Prospect Heights gem that channels classic Japanese vibes while serving some of the freshest and most inventive sushi around, with an affordable omakase that will make you reconsider your sushi game.
"This place in Prospect Heights with a shoji screen and a little bonsai tree looks like hundreds of other neighborhood sushi spots, but that’s where the similarities end. Sushi Lin is serving some of the best sushi in the city—not just for a casual spot, but for any spot. The focus here is on quality fish, and for $35, you get nine pieces of thick-cut nigiri along with soup and a negi toro roll. It’s a deal that should cause lines around the block. There are three other locations, including an omakase-only spot in Soho." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine
"If you want to metamorphose from an average New Yorker to an average New Yorker who has tasted seared salmon that was flown in from Tokyo the night before, and then topped with fried onions, come to this little spot on Flatbush. The omakase experience at Sushi Lin is incredible, with a few different options ranging from $35-$120, and you can also order a la carte. Don’t leave without trying the salmon nigiri topped with sauteed tomato, or the bluefin tuna with mushroom." - Bryan Kim, Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren

"No matter what sort of night you’re looking to have, Sushi Lin has options. You can keep things relatively tame with a $35 mini omakase, or you can order a $120 omakase with three appetizers, a sashimi plate, nine pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, and dessert. We suggest something in between. For $70, you’ll get a hand roll along with 10 pieces of nigiri like salmon topped with sautéed tomato. The little room in Prospect Heights feels like a secret (although there are now four locations), and you can sit at a table and order a la carte if you don’t need a multi-course buffet of fish." - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Hannah Albertine
