Sushi Damo
“Great list of foofoo cocktails and a rather extensive list of $6 champagne cocktails for a happy hour–score!!”
“It's across from Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle, thus able to command a certain pricey clientele.”
“The tuna and avocado blended in my mouth to create a suuuuuuuuuper creamy texture and the sesame gave it a nice crunch.”

Waiter was busy but still engaging. Food was mediocre. I expected more flavor. The descriptions were better than how the food actually tasted.
Duck medallions – Overdone, resulting in slight chewiness. Sauce needed a little bit more umami.
Rice less roll with blue crab, avocado, mango, tuna – great concept, but I couldn't taste the mango or the tuna (the main components of the dish!). I actually called the waiter over because I was afraid I received the wrong item. So this was a bit disappointing. Avocado can overpower delicate fish like tuna or crab, and they just used too much.
Blackened tuna roll – I asked for mango to be included because I just really had a craving for it. Once again, was disappointed by the lack of flavor and too much avo.
The great thing about sushi is the layers of flavor and those little surprises you get with each bite. I ordered a roll at a time, each time craving a bit more. Sigh.
But the drinks were good and strong and definitely did not lack flavor. The bartender/server was great and I left with a better impression of him than I did at the beginning.
For a solo solo dinner before heading home was decent because it's right by the train. I would probably come back with girlfriends after work.
Side note – it's very dark in here! Not good for Instagram food pics.
I was staying at the Plaza and the concierge touted this place as the sushi joint all the locals go to eat. Well if that's the case, New Yorkers, I'm sorry but you have some horrible taste. My business associate and I made reservations but it was for naught. The restaurant was not very full when we arrived.
We were shown to a small table near the window. The waiter came over and we ordered some wine. The list wasn't particularly exciting, in my opinion. We decided to order a few things and go from there. The waiter did not speak good English and so it was really annoying communicating with him the entire time because he messed up or order and often didn't seem to understand what we said to him.
So we were supposed to get two orders of toro and two rolls to start with. Well we only got one order of toro which was fine because it was horrendous. I could tell both my colleague and I didn't like it but we were too proud to admit to each other that it was bad. It was insanely fishy and not fresh. The rolls were okay, one was a spicy crab with shrimp tempura wrapped in cucumber. The other was some sort of eel roll. The presentation was sloppy as hell though it tasted okay. We ordered a second round of sushi, some yellowtail nigiri and two more rolls. The rolls were again, okay, and actually the yellowtail was quite good.
I ordered their trio for dessert and I do have to admit the green tea tiramisu was insanely delicious. I wanted to lick the plate. The chocolate thing and the crème brulee were okay as well.
Eh.. Happy hour is only "allowed" in the bar area apparently.. But they are more than happy to not share that information, seat you to dine and charge you regular prices for their happy hour sangria.
Also. Apparently their white sangria is more expensive than red to which they do not specify. Okay sushi, good udon and seafood stir fry.
Wouldn't return. Every sentence followed by "enjoy." yet not very genuine.
Stopped in after a long day at work and wanted to try a different place. Bonus points this place is right down the street from my office in NYC, just past the time warner center.
The place was not busy, it was a dreary rainy night in NYC, and we were seated right away. I don't know what it was, maybe the weather or the restaurant, but when I walked in, the smell was a huge turn off. It was right in the front door when you walked in. The only way I could really describe it was rancid. The restaurant was very clean, and the smell was not present anywhere else in the restaurant, and most importantly, not by the sushi bar.
Drinks were good, they have a nice drink list as well as wines by the glass. We split a couple of sushi rolls, the new York roll and the out of control roll, both which were good. The fish was fresh and delicious. We also sampled the edamame which came out piping hot, with a little salt, and the miso soup for warmth on this cold NYC night.
I would definitely come back here for sushi, especially with no wait to be seated. Plus, on a nice day, it is a good place to people watch.
My brother was ranting and raving about this restaurant and desperately wanted me to try out this place. It's right in the middle of Columbus Circle… AKA one of NY highest tourist spots. Luckily for us it wasn't a busy day or a busy a time so we were seated right away.
So it's not the most expensive place, but the prices were a little high for sushi… but then again it is sushi and it is Columbus Circle. I enjoy sushi but i could always go for some Fried Tempura shrimp. The Waiters were very professional and pleasant. We didn't have to wait long for appetizer (Which i love that) and once we were finish with that they served us our entrees. The Server placed our plates one by one and explained the craft of how the food was done and kind of fish we were eating and even told my brother how exactly he is suppose to eat his food.
There is plenty of selections on the menu and they also have a list of their special Cocktails. I truly enjoyed the food and was stuff… but i kind of looked like a fool when i asked if they had anything similar to Bento Box.. which then i knew i wasn't as fancy as i thought i was!.
I would come here again on a date late night smiling with a handsome man across from me and then after take a horse ride around Central Park. ( If i wanted to live the fancy life for a while.)
but i would recommend it for anyone who want to catch up with friends or a casual date with someone special!
Very tasty but small portions for what it was and the cocktails were over-sweet (as they often can be in places like this). I may go back as it's very close to my apartment and I liked the atmosphere but it would definitely be improved by more generous portions.
Good sushi place near Columbus Circle. Ambience was trendy and the restaurant had a lot of space. The sushi was good and creative, the special rolls had some nice flavors to them. Shrimp tempura appetizer was perfectly cooked, it tasted juicy and fresh.
But unfortunately it was too pricey for the food and type of restaurant. Expect to spend at least $7-10 more per roll than any similar sushi place.
If you are looking for some good quality sushi near Central Park, this is your place. Visited here one lunch, at 12, just as it was opening. The lunch time deal was popular with tourists and work people alike. Time Warner Cable is opposite.
The sushi deal came with 6 california rolls, 2 salon, 2 tuna, 3 white fish that I wasn't quite sure what it was. Nonetheless, still quite good. I really enjoyed the california rolls. The price of the sushi goes up outside the lunchtime deal, so would recommend visiting here at lunch.
