“Had the sushi omakase: each rice granule was savored and the fish was phenomenal.”
“To round it all off, a tiny scoop of peanut butter ice cream served as a deliciously smooth palate cleanser.”
“We then shared the toro tartar & caviar with toast and the tuna salad with ginger soy.”

Do yourself a favor and get the Omakase at the bar. Hands down some of the best sushi in the city. Impeccable service.
Came here looking for a lighter dinner. Sushi usually fits the bill and this place obliged. The grilled mushroom appetizer was good. The sashimi and roll we had were very good quality fish. The yellowtail collar came late but was solid. Great sauce with it. Not cheap but high end quality place.
Being opened by two long time disciples of chef Masa, one cannot give low or even mediocre expectation on a sushi bar like Neta. So without hesitation, we went straight to Omakase, which represents the best can be brought.
Delicate as other bars, Neta also focused on the mixture flavor of food. Salad is usually the most boring part of dinner, yet I deeply enjoyed their salad with grilled eel. Not to mention their other small plates, especially the grilled uni served on a shell and salmon roe rice.
Not as plain as it indicated outside the room, Neta is really someplace you should try out, just to experience a bit of Masa spirit.
Amazing. Loved the omakase here, which was a mix of both sushi and kitchen items.
If you read ONE review of this place, this has to be it.
One word: Omakase.
Listen up white people! Take a seat and take notes.
I couldn't believe what I saw when I walked into Neta. My friend advised me that Neta was an amazing sushi spot to go for Omakase and so after my 4-day juice cleanse was over, I ventured on over to Neta.
I walked in and saw all white people! WHAT? I looked at my friend and asked if he was sure that it was that good! Not just white people…white people eating rolls. Rolls?! WTF. Likely they were freakin' California rolls! I was definitely not confident that it would be a great meal. I'm white and listen, there's nothing wrong with white people eating at awesome sushi spots but I was just taken aback as usually when I go to "authentic" sushi spots, there are not many white people at all (like 1-2 max).
I was also surprised to see a mixologist behind the sushi counter in this small little bar area. He made me a great cocktail with soju vodka, yuzu juice, peychaud bitters, and simple syrup. It was quite strong and different but very tasty.
We ordered the omakase (chefs choice) that had 8-ish prepared/cooked dishes to start (can't remember), followed by 10-ish courses of omakase sushi. I forgot the exact numbers but whatever, you get the point.
Are you ready to start this magical journey with me?
Prepared dishes:
+ Leek soup – This was like straight out of a 3-Michelin starred restaurant. It was so well presented that I felt terrible actually eating it. Honestly (see attached photos) it was ridiculously good.
+ Toro Tartare with caviar
+ White asparagus salad with miso tofu, scallion purée, quinoa, and pickled radish
+ Miso glazed seabass
+ Raw fish kara age
+ Wok fried lobster with miso and lotus root
********+ Wagyu beef with king mushrooms – I swear I almost damn near fell off my chair when I ate this. BEST PIECE OF MEAT I HAVE EVER CONSUMED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Do I need to repeat this? Make bold letters and stars when you are taking notes about this. Legit, the best. It melted in my mouth.*******
+ Mochi rice (risotto) with uni and truffles – Is this for real?! Seriously. Come on guys, you can stop trying now.
The sushi pieces were quite heavenly as well. Very fresh and VERY good.
We ended with the peanut butter ice-cream (THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT I AM OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS HAVING TO DO WITH PEANUT BUTTER) and I can definitely say that I was in heaven. For a good 2 hours, I was sitting in heaven.
Neta definitely ranks within the top 2 sushi restaurants in NYC in my book and I have been to pretty much all of the top sushi restaurants in the city. YOU MUST GO and also make sure that you sit at the counter and get the omakase. Trust me, it's worth every penny!
Get the omakase. It's worth it and you will be full. Pretty much all the items we wanted to order on the menu were included in the omakase. Favorites include the grilled whole shrimp (with a little bit of lemon and Hawaiian sea salt–so tasty), the scallop with uni (the garlic soy butter that it comes wading in is so heavenly), and the toro tartar (comes with a generous portion of osetra caviar that you can spread on lightly toasted bread). The sushi is rather fresh and if you have a diet restriction, they will accommodate. For example, if you're pregnant and can't have raw fish, they actually still give you sushi, but sear the fish on top of the rice for you!
Came here with my fiance and some friends yesterday night for dinner. The menu was pretty extensive, which made it difficult for us to decide on what to order, so we decided to go for the $145pp Omakase. We started off with a crab and daikon radish salad, which was good but not spectacular, imo. We were also served a potato croquette that didn't really wow me, and not exactly fitting for a Japanese restaurant. Some of the more memorable dishes were the uni with scallop, duck and foi gras, sushi (smoked trout, tuna and salmon were all extremely fresh), and a salmon rice bowl topped with roe. We ended the meal with a black sesame house-made ice cream smacked between what looked like the exterior to a macaron, which was good but missing a little oomph. What did really drop my jaw was the shiso yuzu soda, a really refreshing, non-alcoholic drink that left me wanting more. On top of that, service was top notch and very attentive. The wait staff came by to fold your napkin after you step away from your seat … who does that?
Neta is a small restaurant in Greenwich offering omakase (Japanese tasting menu) and an open kitchen and sushi bar. We saw the ROTD from NY and amazing pictures and just had to try it ourselves. At first I was a bit nervous – I saw a "B" Sanitary rating out front. The restaurant seemed clean to me. A downside is that they have just one tiny restroom stall for the entire restaurant.
The restaurant was also empty at 6pm, but later got busier around 7:30pm.
Service and food overall I'd give 4.5 stars, but I'll round up to 5. Flawless food preparations, though areas of improvement would be to broaden their dessert menu. We went after the Omakase C ($225/pp), and it was great that they made a number of substitutions for the wife since she's not a huge raw fish person.
Omakase C started with 8 cooked items, followed by 3 rounds of sushi (about 12 total pieces of nigiri and maki total) and then a final dessert.
Dish 1: A cold, creamy corn soup that was smooth and had some nice colors from the various ingredients.
Dish 2: Tuna tartare + black caviar on Japanese toast, with edible gold flakes. Amazingly good – probably one of our favorites.
Dish 3: Abalone(!) with some sauce made from liver (from the abalone I think). Tender and decadent.
Dish 4: Colorado panko-crusted Wagyu beef topped with Hokkaido uni with a squid-ink rice cracker. Some seriously good meat here, with rich and savory flavors.
Dish 5: Smoked duck with bonito with smoky consomme.
Dish 6: Halibut consomme – fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Broth had umami for sure.
Dish 7: Lobster karaage with Gouchujang butter – wow a very nice preparation.
Dish 8: Finally we have the A5 Wagyu with shishito pepper and maitake mushroom. Melt-in-your-mouth buttery beef. Nice peppery, earthy flavors.
The next three rounds were sushi dishes – my favorites were the toro and uni of course. They prepared more rolls for the wife along with some cooked bluefin, snapper, and salmon and tuna tartare since she's not a big fan of nigiri. The sushi was perfect – soft, fall-apart seasoned rice and fresh toppings, with the small bit of wasabi slipped in between.
Dessert was a minor letdown. The peanut butter ice cream sandwich was awesome. Only, we were hoping to see some more variety to see how good and creative Neta's pastry chefs are. After all, they did add extra rounds of hot dishes and sushi for the Omakase C – no reason to skimp on dessert!
