"Manhattan's midsection is loaded with Japanese restaurants, most of which suck. But Sushi of Gari is as legit as they come. Next time you need some upscale [perfect_for slug="pre-theater-eats"]Pre-Theater Eats[/perfect_for], this place should be on your list of options. And if you work in Midtown and are feeling fancy while working at your desk, Gari delivers, and delivers well. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE Food Rundown Omakase Gari's signature. This is the reason why you're coming here. The chef's daily selection of fresh, seasonal, sushi and sashimi. Although the rotation changes everyday, here are some of our favorite preparations we've seen more than once: Salmon with Broiled Tomato, Tuna with Tofu, Red Snapper with Salad, and, our favorite, Yellowtail with Jalapeño." - Andrew Steinthal
"You can’t debate the best sushi on the Upper East Side without mentioning Sushi Of Gari, a small spot on 78th Street that's been around since 1997. The omakase here includes what is by now a legendary combination of sautéed tomato over perfectly chilled, buttery salmon. Even if you don’t personally understand what “umami” is supposed to taste like, you will after this bite. All of Sushi Of Gari’s pieces are brushed with sauces, and most are topped with additional garments. If you live in the area or you want to better understand the sushi scene in NYC, spend your money here." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman, sonal shah
"This Upper East Side omakase sushi restaurant was first opened by a man named Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio in 1997. While Gari is no longer handing you glorious pieces of fish today, a lot of his original ideas are still incorporated into the omakase experience. The best and most legendary of which consists of a sautéed tomato with sweet onion sauce over perfectly chilled, buttery salmon. It’s the definition of umami in one bite, and the sautéed tomato turns the whole thing into an acidic, hot-cold experience." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano
"Any list of best sushi restaurants on the Upper East Side is incomplete without Sushi of Gari. This small spot has a variety of appetizers and à la carte nigiri and rolls, but the $150 sushi omakase is the best option. It includes what is by now a legendary combination of sautéed tomato over buttery salmon. (This perfect representation of “umami” inspired the similar offering at Sushi Seki.) All the pieces here are brushed with sauces, and most are topped with additional garments. This location is takeout/delivery-only for now. Check their Instagram for updates regarding the return of indoor dining." - hannah albertine, hillary reinsberg, neha talreja, kenny yang
"Sushi Of Gari has a few locations, and is best known for its omakase that features things like tuna topped with tofu sauce or a piece of fish topped with a quail egg and truffle oil. In other words, it’s here to make things a little funkier than usual, but you’re still definitely going to pay top dollar to cast it in your movie. Think of Gari as Owen Wilson. Know that this definitely isn’t the best Gari location (we prefer the Upper West or the original Upper East Side locations) but it’s still a good bet for Midtown." - hillary reinsberg
