Local sushi lunch spot. Great take out and sit in service. Lunch prices are affordable. Sushi is fresh but portions are a bit small especially the cut of the sushi / sashimi slices. Chirashi luch special is my go to order. Nice combination of sashimi and vinegared rice. Fan of the tamago and yellowtail.
Also the special rolls are great. These have hefty portions and have a nice combination. I had the eel with various slices of fish rolls. Well executed and tasty.
It's an ok standard sushi lunch spot. I like that they always have uni in stock (California most recently) and the service is friendly and pretty fast. If you're in the area stop by, but not a destination spot.
I've ordered to-go here several times. The lunch special is decent but not spectacular. Since it was nice out today I figured I'd go in and order. The person handling orders at the front was extremely rude and didn't seem to have time to take orders. Once he finally got around to taking my order he was snippy and grabbed my money. I asked him if he was having a bad day and he said it's very busy today. I told him I would be back in a few minutes to pick up my order. When I arrived back there was a bag on the table. I stood and waited for him to give me the bag with the food , once I left I realized he wanted me to take the bag myself instead of handing it to me. I guess I was supposed to assume that was my order. I didn't even get a thank you while I was leaving. I have just alerted my coworkers about this situation. They were shocked to hear this. I will not return to this establishment.
It wasn't as though I needed anything to eat. It was late and what I'd consumed so far that day (raw oysters, sweet potato fries, falafel – don't judge) probably filled me from a caloric perspective if not from a perspective of satisfaction. As a result, I was trolling the street looking for that little something-something that would do it; something that would send me to bed patting my amply rounded belly. Then I spotted this decently-reviewed Chelsea sushi joint right across from where I was staying.
Sold.
The guy next to me had what looked like a marvelous platter of sushi and when I remarked on it he pointed to the menu item which said "Sushi Deluxe $21". Sold again. That was a lot of sushi for $21.
The friend I was with first asked if we were splitting the order (we were not) then watched with astonishment as I consumed the entire thing, every last grain of rice. No joke, this was a lot of decent sushi for a ridiculously low price. Especially for Midtown Manhattan.
The place is nothing, really nothing, to look at but they offer friendly service and a free, large hot sake with your yelp check-in and if that doesn't sell you I'd say you can't be sold.
Affordable, ample, well-prepared, fresh. If I lived nearby I'd probably be in here weekly.
After yoga, I saw a sign for unlimited sake happy hour- two rolls and an appetizer for $20. A steal. It was fairly empty, and I was unwinding after a long day. I got a salmon skin salad, and a vegetable roll and soft shell crab roll. The salad was delicious- and huge! It wasn't one of those small side salads you get with a bento box or a dish, it was a large plate of salad that I almost felt like I couldn't finish! The rolls were alright- I've had better. The soft shell crab roll was coming apart and didn't taste so fresh. It tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. The vegetable roll was the same- the consistency was off and it wasn't that crunchy. I decided to have dessert as well and it set me back another $7. For 2 mochis? That wasn't worth it. I did have two small bottles of sake so it was still not bad overall.
Eh.
I came for dinner last night with a friend and got the pink lady roll, an eel avocado roll, a piece of shrimp sushi and one order of white tuna sashimi. The sashimi and special roll both tasted very watery. I have never tasted fish quite like this before. Not good. The eel avocado roll was fine, as was the shrimp, but I still would not come back. The prices are good, but there are better sushi places in the area. Also, the bathrooms are not very nice.
Great and affordable fresh sushi a bit noisy but a good hole in the wall sushi place.
We ordered the beef yakitori and vegetable dumplings for appetizers. The apps were great taste and the right size and for a couple. We continued with three rolls of sushi. The waiter was nice and friendly, the sushi was fresh and tasty and we had a really good time!!
Very recommended and we will go there again for sure!
This place is average. Not bad, just not stellar. I came here with a friend and we were promptly seated and attended to, which was great. The environment is pretty nice, minus all of the after-work bros who insist on being the loudest people in the restaurant.
I ordered two sweet potato rolls, which was surprisingly filling, and my friend got the dragonfly roll, which looked great. I asked for their darkest beer, and got Sapporo, which might as well be the color of light apple juice. Fine, whatever.
The price wasn't too bad, but the overall experience was meh enough to make me want to try somewhere else.
