Yono Sushi by BondSt

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!

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.

We stopped to have lunch before going to our train and I’m so glad we did! The staff was friendly and the food was so fresh and delicious! We tried the blue fin tuna tart, the tuna crispy rice and 3 open hand rolls(mushroom, eggplant and ceviche) and were so impressed with one after the other! The place was very busy but the chefs still gave everyone at the counter attention and chatted with all the customers. If you have to catch a train from the Moynihan Station I highly suggest you take the time to check out this gem!

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.

Who knew that you could find such amazing sushi in a train station food hall! From the moment we walked over to the dine in counter to the moment we left, the staff was friendly, attentive and able to answer any questions we had. Every single thing we ordered was delicious…a great way to end our NY trip before taking our train home. I highly recommend the tuna tart and tuna crispy rice…as well as mushroom, ceviche and eggplant temakis. Make sure you grab a Sapporo or saki to wash it all down!

I had the omakase and every course was fantastic. Some highlights include the salmon app, the chutoro, and the toro and caviar on fried seaweed. I went to Masa recently and this was better at less than 1/10the the price. David was attentive and knowledgeable. I’ll def be back.

You can dine in sushi bar style, or grab pre-pared sushi to-go. If you have the time, at least 20 minutes, I highly recommend dining in! The quality and flavors are fantastic, particularly for the setting of being in a train station. I recommend trying a few of the hand rolls.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
