Yono Sushi

I arrived into Moynihan from out of town and got a freshly made salmon bowl which blew me away! The quality of the salmon and rice was on par with what I've had in Tokyo, and better than anything I've had in the US! I was shocked since I was expecting typical American take-out quality since this place is in the train station. It was so good that I went back again later the same day for another round. I highly recommend Yono Sushi and it will be a destination for me anytime I'm in that area again!

This place is unbelievable !! Their tuna tart and their crispy rice is just as it is a bondst and tastes amazing. Their omakase bar is also great with such fresh fish and large portions! I also LOVED their hand rolls especially their blue crab with avocado :) Their to go boxes also look insanely good. Next time I’m taking the train… this is my GO TO! The service was great and being in Moynihan train hall was super cool!

First time at this spot, first time ever even in the Moynihan Food hall. Quite a few options here and while it can be overwhelming, I settled on Yono as I was in the mood for a rice bowl with some protein. But my experience left a bit to be desired. The stanchions out front by the cold case where pre-packaged sushi lived had a decent amount of people waiting to order/pay. It was a little confusing as there were folks standing by, making the line look longer than it was. I ordered the Miso Glazed Salmon Bowl & the Spicy Tuna Sushi Rolls, totaling about $34. He told me it would be a 12-15 minute wait. I hesitated, as I was tired from a long commute and quite hungry. I ended up making the order and paying. An awkward moment lingered as I stood there looking for the sushi to eat as I waited and the cashier looked at me (presumably waiting for me to move to the side to allow the next guest to pay and order). I asked, where is the sushi I just paid for? He said, oh, it’s in the bag. I asked if I could have it to eat while I waited. He said sure, and motioned me off to the side away from the cashier. I went off to the side and received the sushi, which I began to eat at the counter. It was decent, 6 pieces, each with half a pea sized dollop of spicy mayo, with a pea sized portion of wasabi and a decent amount of picked ginger in the corner of the container. After I finished, I saw seating on the side in front of the staff preparing the sushi that I just consumed. There were several seats open, one with a small “reserved” card on it. I didn’t think much of it at that moment, just thought it was peculiar. I started putting down my various bags that I had, and a staff member kindly showed me how the seats slide out for better access, along with bag hooks underneath the counter. I thanked her and sat down waiting for my order. She said if I had any questions to please ask. Another gentleman came to say the same thing and asked if tap water was okay, I replied and said if they had sparkling, he said sure and returned with a cold bottle of San Pellegrino and a small glass. At this point I overheard someone walk up and tell the staff they had a reservation, and take a seat a few stools down from where I was sitting. While I waited for my food to be prepared, I took a look at the menu. Definitely had prices higher than I expected for a food hall establishment. The gentleman who brought me the water then came back to say if I was planning to order anything, to which I said I already ordered and was waiting on a rice bowl, which another staff member happened to bring to me in a small bag right at that moment. The first man then told me that these seats were not for people who ordered at the front. I instantly felt quite uncomfortable and apologized, stating that there wasn’t any indication from the cashier or any other staff (or any signage) stating this. He just replied saying yea, sorry. But you can pay for the water. To which I did, as I was left no other choice. After that, I enjoyed my water while still seated - or tried to. I could feel the gentleman and the young woman staff members seemingly lingering around and watching me. It made me feel VERY uncomfortable and I ended up tethering my things before I had a chance to finish to sit across from the counter in the main food hall seating area. As soon as I got up the female staff member said thank you. When I finally sat down to eat the rice bowl, it differed from what was shown on the menu with regard to the bowl and presentation, as well as portions. It was warm and such, the flavor was good, about what I would expect at the price point. But the experience for the seating arrangement left a bad taste in my mouth. For a public food hall to have reserved seating at a small bar/counter, open to the main corridor leading into the very busy train hall, seems weird. I get being different and offering an experience, but it needs to be better communicated visually and by the staff.

I decided to stop by Yono Sushi by Bond Street, located in Moynhihan Hall at NY Penn Station, for a quick lunch as soon as I got off of the train from DC the other day. Their grab and go meals was a great option. They have quite a bit of variety from seaweed salad to freshly-made sushi. I opted for the Kani salad and a seaweed salad. The Kani salad was similar to a deconstructed California roll. It has sesame seeds and just the right amount of dressing. The seaweed salad on the other hand didn’t hit the mark at all for me. I tried a few bites, but it was a still a no for me. Oh well, the Kani salad more than made up for it. So much so, I got the Kani salad again before the train ride back to DC. If you want to grab a seat and have a proper meal at Yono, there are several seats at the counter, where you can watch the sushi chefs up close as they quickly make sushi rolls. Yono has a quick casual, zen vibe that is a perfect fit for the Moyninhan Food Hall. The cherry blossom

Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the hospitality—Charlie went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of! Thank you!

We had a wonderful 12-piece sushi platter that was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. They also have a 13-course omakase & hand-rolled temaki. If you're looking for the perfect dine-in or premium sushi-to-go option (they have so many options to choose from and all prepared fresh), you have to check Yono out!

some of the best sushi i’ve had! we got the champagne because who doesn’t love bubbles AND sushi?! we also got the temaki which was amazing. high recommend their crispy rice… unrreal. will definitely be back!

The food is pretty much average sushi as take away. Great for a bustling train hall. The Problem’s with the sushi bar. They change the menu after you sit down. If They don’t feel like serving you their full à la carte or tasting menu, they stick a fixed rolls only menu in front of you and say they don’t have enough staff to serve the full menu. There were four people sitting at the sushi bar. It was 5 PM on a random Tuesday, not busy. There were six people behind sushi bar. There were three additional people behind to take away counter. I guess I was being profiled. I happen to like sushi a lot. I asked if I could order from the sushi menu, as in what the folks who were sitting down having. They just couldn’t do that. Rolls only. Felt a bit like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. I’ll go elsewhere. For the money there’s a posh sushi and steak place in Penn Plaza across the street that does a really lovely service. I cannot recommend Yono Except for grab and go take away which is nothing exceptional, but it’s decent takeaway sushi.

This is the perfect spot for a quick weekday lunch! Their fish is so fresh and high quality. My fav dish was the rice bowl with tuna and salmon, and the crab/tuna yubu was delicious as well. I didn't try the omakase counter but judging by the quality of fish they use, I'm sure it would be good. It's fancy restaurant level food served in a fast casual environment! - @nyconthetable

Located in Moynihan Food Hall, it was a convenient spot to grab a bite after arriving in New York and checking into my hotel, which was right across the street. They have a few items pre-made that you can grab if you're in a hurry. You can order some food at the register or sit at their sushi bar. There's a lot of seating in the center of the food hall, but it can get pretty crowded at times. As for the food, don't expect fast food prices. It's a little pricey but the quality of the food was pretty good. The miso glazed salmon was a little on the small side, but was delicious. It was buttery soft, with a slightly sweet flavor. It was served with radishes and cabbage, sitting on top of sushi rice. My son got the chicken katsu curry and he really enjoyed it.

I wish I had taken pics. First, prepare yourself, this is a pricey good option but worth it. My fav was the miso soup. It was the heartiest miso I have ever eaten. The bowl had ample tofu & seaweed... you didn't feel short changed. I after loving my first serving... I ordered a second. I got the tuna tartare tart. It was light & perfection. Service was great. Will definitely choose this food stall over the others.

Great fast sushi at Moynihan Food Hall. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly. The hall gets busy but there are seats on the bar. They have a decent alcoholic and non alcoholic beverage selection as well.

Yono Sushi by Bond St is a hidden gem nestled inside Moynihan Train Hall, offering an exceptional dining experience that elevates your typical train station food stop. The first thing you'll notice is how fresh everything is -- from the expertly crafted sushi rolls to the melt-in-your-mouth sashimi. The ingredients are clearly top-notch, making each bite a testament to their commitment to quality. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, ensuring a warm welcome and prompt service, even during the busy rush hours. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, which adds to the overall positive experience. What sets Yono Sushi apart is its extensive menu. Whether you're craving classic sushi rolls, unique chef creations, or something warm like miso soup, there's something for everyone. They also offer an impressive variety of sakis, perfect for pairing with your meal. The service is fast without compromising on quality, making it an ideal stop for travelers looking for a quick yet satisfying bite. If you're passing through Moynihan Train Hall, Yono Sushi by Bond St is a must-visit for fresh, delicious food and stellar service. Highly recommended!

I love BondST, but I imagine if you're passing in Moynihan Train Hall, chances are you don't have the privilege to sit down and enjoy full complete service. We ordered two Combo Chirashi Sushi Rice Bowls, which came out at a reasonable time. The fish tasted fresh for a takeaway spot, the spicy aioli sauce complemented the brown rice/ginger/tamago, but the only red flag I caught was the browning avocado slices. I'm sure it's hard to keep avocado fresh, but maybe a workaround would've been slicing it on the spot when someone orders a sushi rice bowl. Moynihan Train Hall is already nice and with Yono it makes for a pit stop worth stopping for some sushi!

Thank goodness I didn't read the reviews ahead of time. Seems like the earlier reviews were not so great and later ones were better. Prepackaged food was a hit or miss. The dine-in experience was worth it, if you have time. Employees were efficient and service was great. For me, I know I wanted the tuna chirashi bowl. Since it's Moynihan Food Hall, I know it was going to be pricey for not a lot of sashimi ($18 + tax), a few dollar more than the average. Lots of seaweed and edamame, few pieces of avocado and tamago. Considering I ordered a non-prepackaged, it didn't take too long. Food was good. I have to go back and try something else.

Easy place to stop before going to Madison Square Garden. I got the salmon rice bowl and it did come out pretty fast and tasted good. The proportions were a bit off so there was a lot of rice compared to the amount of salmon and not enough sauce. Not sure I'd get again for that reason.

The geniuses behind Bond Street opened an omakase bar inside of Moynihan Train Hall and it's awesome! Yono is a casual sushi bar and takeout spot located in Penn Station an I normally wouldn't recommend getting to your train early, but for some omakase I definitely would! Yono offers a 13 course omakase for $95, hand rolls, crispy rice & more. The team is super quick so if you're in a rush, don't worry! Whether you have a train or not, Yono Sushi is definitely worth a visit!!

I write to report on Yono Sushi. It is new-ish. I ride the train about twice a month, and the trips all originate or terminate at NYP, Moynihan (late night still uses the old Penn Station). As an aside, wow, the new train hall is spectacular, befitting a metropolis of global significance. Yono Sushi is good. I am sure I will eat there more. I grabbed one of the boxes with a California roll and three nigiri pieces. I will say the quality was better than acceptable, and the price point was as expected. I try to avoid relativistic reviews as a matter of principle (preferring to believe in more absolute norms, but being a pragmatist at the end of the day), and since they can be interpreted negatively despite intentions. The easiest means to sum up, however, is by saying Yono Sushi is about as good as it gets or could, at a train station; I am willing to say among train stations in the US, it is the best I have had (for airports, it is Matsutake at DCA). I'm impressed that at Moynihan, none of the vendors is gouging folks. That may be because of the close proximity of competition. That said, in Japan, they have better practices to ensure the rice remains moist. The raw fish was fresh and good. The rice was fine, but it was apparent it had been sitting out -- and for some experts, it is the rice that is the measure of this cuisine. To reiterate: I will eat at Yono again. I look forward to placing an order and sitting down at the counter. The grab and go is convenient and the line moved fast. But it would be nice to sit and see the chefs in action. Thank you for reading.

This place is unbelievable !! Their tuna tart and their crispy rice is just as it is a bondst and tastes amazing. Their omakase bar is also great with such fresh fish and large portions! I also LOVED their hand rolls especially their blue crab with avocado :) Their to go boxes also look insanely good. Next time I'm taking the train... this is my GO TO! The service was great and being in Moynihan train hall was super cool!

Had the chance to sit at the omakase counter with Chef Andrew Oh - highly recommend booking this experience. The tuna tart and crispy rice with spicy tuna were standout dishes that gave me major BondSt vibes. The hand rolls were perfect, with warm rice and ideal fish-to-rice ratio. Also tried their to-go options - grabbed some nigiri and their Yubu to take home. Everything traveled surprisingly well and maintained its quality. The Yubu was actually my favorite thing I tried! Perfect for both a proper dining experience at the counter or grabbing quality sushi on the go. This isn't your average train station food - it's elevated sushi that happens to be conveniently located in Moynihan. Will definitely be back! Pro tip: Make a reservation for the omakase counter to watch Chef Oh work his magic.

Probably should have expected this from the other reviews, but I was in the Moynihan train station and just felt like having sushi even though I knew it was probably gonna be bad. I got a 6 piece nigiri set from here and I got slight food poisoning from it. Was not worth it :(

when i tell you that yono sushi blewwwww my taste buds away, IT BLEW MY TASTE BUDS AWAYYY! not only was it a 9 pieces of nigiri, it includes a king salmon shishito salsa sashimi, a seaweed tartlet, a hand roll, and red miso soup. now that's a HUGEEEE deal. it's also so convenient, located in moynihan hall in penn station; a perfect meal while waiting to catch your train. chef andrew was so kind and explained all the cuts that were served. not only do they serve omakase but their handrolls are $44 for 7 rollls, again, WHAT A DEAL! all the cuts were so fresh and the quality was so tender and delicious! definitely a must check out spot

TLDR: What you'd expect from sushi in a major transit area. Pricy and not quite up to par for what I'd expect with a concept by BondST. I heard there was a new sushi place in Moynihan. I went to go see what was up - tried a prepped roll mid-meal. They seem to be building out a standing omakase bar to the side. Cool concept, I've only seen this in Asia but let's see. Spicy Tuna roll was $11.75, roll size was quite small - decent rice:fish ratio but still; very small. The rice was al dente with a nice chew to it. The tuna mince was of better quality, you can taste that it wasn't too fatty or slurry but flavor-wise; this fell kind of flat for me. There was this drizzle of spicy mayo across the top, I felt this was unnecessary, I think maybe if it were mixed into the mixture it would probably taste better although be less picturesque. Not really that umami spicy tuna texture, just kind of this mildly higher quality tuna mince. The raw ingredient is good but flavoring needs some work. Like an unseasoned grass-fed beef. It was very just passable, even for lower-tier sushi. I came for a snack, I'd have needed two rolls at a minimum for a full meal. I'd be close to $30 with taxes and a beverage. I can go a couple blocks from here and get a full on sushi meal in a sit down restaurant for less and it would be tastier. A full-on salad meal (literally across the way) would cost less, be more filling and arguably better for your tastebuds. The flavors missed for me, to the point where it's hard to see the affiliation with BondST at all. Granted, these are early days but just the relation of flavor to price is not there. Perhaps that will change in the future.

Had cucumber avocado maki and seaweed salad. Maki was fine, would get again. But the seaweed salad has food dye in, is too sweet and is overstated with sauce. There are soybean in it, and they were two-toned from the food dye -- dark green patches on the usual light green bean.

5pm on a Tuesday. I'm not sure what's up with this place, but there's a bait and switch on the menu. I was intrigued by what was being served to a gentleman at the sushi bar as I passed by and observed a sushi chef explaining the piece being delivered. Seemed delicious. I sat down for sushi bar to have that same or similar tasting-type menu with some nigiri, sake maybe some soup, and enjoy a nice meal before meeting someone at Madison Square Garden. As I sat down, the menu was switched to hand rolls only. The reason I was given was that there weren't enough people to prepare sushi, so sometimes they have to change the menu. Felt to me like I was being profiled. There were four people sitting at the sushi bar (at least 5 empty seats) and there were six people behind the sushi bar working. There were an three additional people working at the ready-made checkout counter that was fully stocked. Not sure what's up here, but I my resulting takeaway dinner ended up being very mediocre. I'd have been better off across the street from MSG at the "blue ribbon" sushi and steak and restaurant at Penn Plaza. Fine for grab and go but given the bustling location, noise, and disinterest in service to an otherwise very enthusiastic sushi eater, I don't recommend.

The food is amazing, the staff is so kind and attentive, the vibes are IMMACULATE. Dined-in and the food was incredibly fresh, reasonably priced, and delicious. loved eating here and plan to many times more

Was surprised at the low ratings, as I genuinely liked the food. I will say the price is kind of insane for the amount of sushi. Overall, the quality of fish is fresh and tasty. It's a grab and go style, although there are some items you can order that can be assembled on the spot (e.g., their chirashi bowl). I grabbed two items - one was a salmon special that had 4 slices of salmon sashimi + 4 salmon nigiri. The other item was 3 pieces of nigiri (tuna, salmon, and yellowtail) + a tuna avocado roll. Both items were good but expensive at $16.75 each.

Personally thought the omakase was a 5star chefs kiss, the food hall is a bit loud but this sushi spot avoids the noise!

I cannot believe anyone would rate this lower than 5 stars - I'd give it 6 if I could. We sat at the Omakasi bar and took the chef suggestions, and they were spectacular. My manager and I split the blue fin tuna tart (TO DIE FOR - both of our favorites), the crispy rice with spicy tuna, and then 5 hand rolls. I should have taken pictures - the food was beautiful, and everything the chef suggested was fantastic. We both agreed we would do it again. Absolutely divine!

Overall, a good spot for your sushi fix. Very tasty CHIRASHI SUSHI RICE BOWL, COMBO. Great service with option to adopt to allergies. A bit pricy for a fast style outlet.

Bad experience with the food twice! Please DM me. I would love to speak to your management. It's definitely not qualified to refer to Bond ST. Thank you

Not the best sushi in town; lacked the fishy flavor I love, but it is nice having sushi at Penn Station.

The miso cod came undercooked the first time, then they refired a new bowl for me. I cant believe this is almost $20 w/o a soup or more ingredients. Anyways, I'm not returning unless portions are better

Absolute scam. Was charged ~18$ for sushi priced at ~10$, I only noticed upon paying and was going to miss my train should I decided to return the item, buy a new one, hold the line behind me. Kinda absurd, especially considering it also makes a tip somehow necessary just for having a product checked-out.

I usually get their sushi rolls when I'm super hungry after work and eat it on the lirr ride home, but today I felt like trying their rice bowls. I got the salmon rice bowl and I was actually kind of surprised how much food there was, it was like a bento box. It came with slices of salmon with a bit of ikura, seaweed salad, 3 pieces of tamagoyaki, edamame, cucumbers, avocado, pickled ginger, and wasabi. The salmon was so soft and tender that it practically melted in my mouth and I was surprised how much I enjoyed the tamagoyaki. It was sweet and slightly savory. I think there was a good rice to topping ratio so I was able to bit of everything in each bit. I had ordered it for pick up and it was ready very quickly so I was very happy that I was able to grab it and go just the same as if I were to pick up a roll on display. The rolls I feel like are kind of pricey for the amount of food that you get and the taste doesn't quite justify the price, but it is a convenient option.

The best tuna rice bowl I tried. Very clean, staff is pleasant and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to someone, who's looking for a healthy spot.

Tuna rice bowl was fresh and tasty, makes eating healthy a breeze :). Would recommend for a quick and tasty bite.

Tldr: beautiful presentation, fast service, and delicious food for a takeout focused restaurant. I ordered the grilled eel rice bowl online (through Toast) and it was ready for pickup the time that my train arrived at Moynihan (around 15min later). Total came out to $18 + tax. All I had to do was walk up to the counter and ask for my takeout order. Super easy and they were very friendly! Keep in mind this is a takeout place in a food hall area, so seating might be tight. That's not the restaurant's fault though. Food-wise, portions looked pretty small (bowl was not very large but was pretty tall) but I will say they filled the bowl completely. Online, there's no description of what the rice bowl actually contains as ingredients other than rice and grilled eel, but it includes some pickled vegetables and avocado too! I found the pickled flavor of the vegetables to be pretty strong, seeping into the rice below. I definitely prefer a sweeter, more savory flavor to my rice bowls, so the rice underneath the grilled eel and avocado was more to my liking. The grilled eel was well flavored and thoroughly cooked (would've gotten the dish just for that) and they were very generous with their avocado portions. Presentation was also beautiful. I will say that it was hard to mix the ingredients in the bowl together just because of how small the actual container was and how it was completely filled with food. But I'd come back to this place for a quick bite to eat the next time I pass through! I didn't have high expectations for a train station meal but the quick service and good food impressed me. Definitely much more filling and delicious than anticipated.

I can't believe I had the best sushi of my life at a train station. As someone that loves sushi, I have eaten sushi across the US (but never been to Japan, so I can't comment on comparison). I did get it freshly prepared sitting at the counter, not a box. This sushi was the absolute freshest, succulent, and enjoyable. The miso soup was amazing, and the seaweed salad was almost juicy tender. Highly recommend to anyone in New York - even if you don't need to catch a train.

I stood in line to wait to select from prepared sushi plates to go. Their nigiri sushi is half the size of other sushi bars. The Sushi is bland, especially the rice no hint of sweetness or vinegar. The "wasabi" was as hard as a rock, and darkened on the outside. It had clearly been sitting in the takeout container for a long time. Same as gas station sushi but at least twice as expensive.

Terrible service. Always forgetting to add items and giving you an attitude. Always double check what you are getting.

I really wanted to like this - got back into town and was starving, but unfortunately this was sub-par. I got the salmon avocado roll combo and none of it tasted fresh.
