Had a long day In the Tribeca area and this place caught my eye. The restaurant itself is a sushi bar so it's very small but has a homey feel to it. They take reservations but also accept walk-in's as well. I started off with 2 rounds of lean tuna nigiri. The chef prepares the food right in front of you which was fun. The tuna was perfect and really meshed well with some ponzu sauce. My second round I got medium fatty tuna nigiri which was phenomenal. The tuna was so tender and fatty which really went with the roe they put on top. My meal was pretty light overall but they also serve Maki if you're looking for something heavier. Will check this place out again next time I'm in the area. read more

Bondi Sushi is one of the best if not the best sushi places in NYC. The fish is always fresh and the presentation is exceptional. In addition the staff is lovely and extremely helpful. The atmosphere is inviting Bondi Sushi - thumbs up all the way! read more

Bondi, Nolita. Fresh Sushi. First time on this location but won't be the last. Sushi Chef was very talented and I enjoyed our short conversation during our Omakase. He was very very nice. The Staff was great. Consistent on checking us and our needs. The place was a typical size in the city. Neat and pleasant vibe. Highly recommend this location, Nolita read more

Came here for lunch with clients at noon and there were not many people so we the the chef's attention. The sushi came fast and every single piece was delicious! My favorites were the wagyu hand roll, snow crab hand roll and scallop nigiri. I would definitely come back! read more

Came in for Bondi's 8th birthday where all hand rolls were $5. I had made a reservation for lunch. Luckily, I did because others tried to come in to dine but was told they need a reservation. It is on the smaller side with about 15 bar seats. There was a few table seating outside as well. Menu is not too extensive. I did come for the handrolls so ordered a lobster, yellowtail with scallion and spicy scallops. There are 2 sushi chefs making the rolls. It is pretty quick. Really liked the flavor of the lobster and yellowtail. Didn't really care for the spicy scallop as it tasted a bit mushy. Handrolls are not that big, so I wasn't full full, but am saving room for a birthday dinner in the evening. read more

We saw their Sushi Sunday sign for $5 handrolls and decided to have lunch here. I had never heard of Bondi before. It wasn't busy since it was later in the afternoon. It is bar seating like usual sushi/handroll spots. Salmon Crispy Rice (3.5/5): This wasn't too bad. The salmon was decent but the rice could've been fried more. For handrolls, I ordered the yellowtail scallion, toro scallion, and hot & spicy scallop. I liked the yellowtail and toro the most. They tasted fresh and portion was fine. The scallop was different than what I am used to in terms of cut and texture. Overall, it was a good lunch. $5 handrolls a la carte is a great idea since I don't have to order a full set. I can pick and choose what I want. read more

I've only been here once but I really, really liked their sushi. Firstly, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, giving recommendations on what to try and to order based on my preferences. I enjoyed the King Salmon Nigiri, Sea Bream Nigiri, Botan Ebi Nigiri, Truffle Avocado roll (not pictured), and my favorite, the Chu Toro Nigiri. This sushi really does melt in your mouth and is one of those meals that leaves you full but you feel GREAT after eating. One of the best parts of Bondi is the fact you can build your own box. I love that flexibility and would recommend this for a pick up or delivery for a group/party. Can't wait to return! read more

I came here for a handroll making class through the Bilt credit card rewards promotions, and I had a blast! I didn't think I'd be full from a couple handrolls, but they were really generous with the fillings. We started out with some appetizers like edamame and some air fried crispy spicy tuna sushi with a lot of guacamole. For the first course, they taught us how to roll a cucumber hand roll. Then, we got to make salmon avocado rolls, crab, and even lobster. The last handroll, they gave us an option to make another one of our favorite one. probably my favorite was still the salmon, since I was able to get some really fatty cuts. The lobster was great, but maybe it would be better warm on a lobster roll or like sashimi. They gave us some cocktails since there was some confusion about whether or not it was omakase, and they were very refreshing yuzu mojitos. Overall, a very fun and delicious experience. read more

The happy hour bar service was amazing today! Try the spicy yuzu margarita, edamame, and all the $5 hand rolls can't be beat! Service is always stellar and the sushi is fresh and on point. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. Never had an empty water glass and a great first experience and impression. We'll be back! Thank you! read more

Delivery / I ordered a Build Your Own Box and chose 4 different sushi rolls: - Spicy crab - Salmon cucumber - Yellowtail scallion - Tuna avocado It was aiiite. The delivery was quick. And I do like the cute box it came in. However, it doesn't compete with the sushi box I usually get from a different place for $29 which also comes with salad, edamame, awesome sauces, and 4 rolls with fish that's more fresh than Bondi's. read more

I totally enjoyed the Half & Half box today: mushroom roll, truffle avocado roll, Salmon cucumber roll and shrimp scallion roll. The truffle avocado is especially delicious and a unique combination. So fresh and tasty! Highly recommended! Update: I also tried the Bondi's Best: the crab rolls are especially good. I agree that the truffle avocado roll is among their best. Love the shrimp avocado roll too. Not that crazy about the salmon roll though. They should try to improve on the salmon or put something else as their best. read more

I appreciate their 5 handrolls for $40 menu. You can pick 2 of the same handrolls and even the $12 ones. It's a great deal. Unfortunately, uni was not on the menu and it's not part of the offer. Their lobster Handroll also looks nothing like the one they posted on Instagram. The one on Instagram was a whole lobster claw sitting on top of a miso leaf and a bed of rice. That's what brought me here. But the one I got in real life was chopped lobster meat with mayo I guess. I don't like mayo. The wagyu Handroll was alright. The salmon ikura Handroll has very little ikura. The seaweed was very good; crispy and easy to bite off. I used to like Bondi a lot more. The first time I ever went to Bondi was in 2019. It looked like a regular American sushi place but they served real crab meat for the blue crab roll. How I know? Because I found crab shell in my sushi, and I was delighted at the time. I hope future experiences will be better. P.S. there's no where to hang your coats and they don't take cash read more

I had lunch a Bondi Sushi and I had an above and beyond experience. First of all, their sushi is great. It's fresh, you have sushi counter seating which is fun and so many options to choose from!! They have 3 lunch specials and I chose the 1 appetizers, 3 nigiri pairs (6 individual pieces), and 2 hand rolls. The O Toro and Scallop are two of my favorites. Plus, the spicy crab stands out and is modestly spicy. I love that they offer a free sake shot and warm hand towel. Thank you Joseph my server, the sushi chef, and Pinky the manager for checking in. I will definitely be returning soon! read more

Bondi - Nigiri (Spicy Blue Crab, scallop, & o toro) - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Sushi roll Sunday. Salmon Ikura was tasty and staff on the sit-down side of restaurant were pleasant.

We love sushi so we went here to see what their lunch special was! we got sashimi, nigiri and a handroll and split it between two of us. We got the seared tuna tataki (Delicious), seared o toro and hot and spicy blue crab. All delicious and just enough since I didn't want a lot (If you are very hungry I suggest you gt the next size up in the lunch specials! We sat at the bar and had a leisurely lunch. Sushi is so fabulous when it is fresh and it was! It's a small place which was nice and not crowded - my only reason I gave it a 4 is because the bathroom could've used some freshening up! read more

Meh! Went there the other night with a buddy and just felt like fast food sushi. Crispy rice cakes were premade and looked like they came out of a package and not a single roll stood out as being great or even all that good. Ordered at least price wise one of the more expensive rolls which was the wagyu and lobster surf and turf roll and it was underwhelming and used way too much mayo. Initially we had a waiter come to our table, but then he disappeared for rest of the meal. Then a bit weird that the host took over taking additional orders and doing water, and clearing tables. Something a bit off about the waiter as well when he took our order. After asking us what we want for drinks, comes back 2 mins later and asks what we want for drinks and then we had to restate our food order a couple times before he got it right. Then for a sushi bar, I never actually saw any sushi, meaning part of the thrill of a sushi bar is to see nice slabs of tuna and other fish getting carved up and watching sushi masters do their thing. Nothing like that here. In fact, the only thing we saw, which was also a bit weird was one of the chefs spending literally an hour sharpening a knife. Again, just weird. I think this place might be just OK for take out, but definitely not a higher end sushi joint. read more

I came by Bondi for International Sushi Day ($5 hand rolls). This is a great deal for rolls that are normally around $8. I ordered the yellowtail scallion, seared unagi avocado, hot & spicy blue crab, and lobster. They were all good! Some of the fish portions seemed a bit on the small side though, so I'm not sure I would've been as satisfied had I been paying full price. The service was very nice, but it felt rushed. It may have been an abnormal experience, given that they were packed with reservations for International Sushi Day. Even so, each slot was for 45 minutes, and we were finished in just over 30 minutes because our next order of hand roll would come before we were finished the previous one - which isn't ideal for hand rolls since you're meant to eat them as soon as they're made so the seaweed wrap stays crispy. Overall, I felt this was a solid spot. I'm not sure that I'd make a specific trip out here (especially at full price given my rushed experience), but if I was craving hand rolls and was nearby, I'd consider returning. read more

If you know nothing about me, know the following: a) I like sushi though I don't consider myself a true connoisseur b) I like a good deal and c) I like finding new places near where I'm already heading to. With this in mind, I found about the Bondi sushi chain due to their location in Nomad where the sample sales happen. I was looking for a happy hour to do solo and bondi fit the bill. The same applies to this location in Nolita/Soho. I have only dined in at Bondi so I wasn't aware they had cut rolls until Natty (the person who took my order) was telling people that cut rolls were for to go orders only. For the dine-in experience, they focus on nigiri and hand rolls which are pretty fresh in my opinion. It is made to order so you would see the sushi chef make your hand roll or nigiri in front of your face. I also like the combos they do in flavors like seared otoro with truffle salt, or the sea scallop with lime. Other than the general nice people who worked there, there is also the relatively small and quiet environment of the place (most seating surrounds the sushi counter expect the 2-3 tables outside). It is not the bustling restaurant you have on a casual night with a boatload or friends nor it is the $200 omakase you have for a big occasion. It is somewhere in the middle which is okay. For those who look for a good deal, my best advice is to go on a weekday from 4-5:30 pm. That way you can experience the lunch options and happy hour which have the best options. With lunch you choose between 3 different prices to get a combination of appetizer, a selection of nigiri and a handroll. And you can choose whatever they have on the menu! Have I chosen a wagyu or a lobster handroll that would cost $14 or $12 by itself with an otoro nigiri. Multiple times. With the happy hour menu you can buy handrolls for 5 bucks plus cheap drinks. Which is a win win. Plus they have crispy rice on the menu. You might be able to find better fish elsewhere or even cheaper deals but I think of this place as a happy medium and a dependable option if you are in the area. Especially if you come at the right time. read more

Solid takeout sushi! This was my first time trying Bondi and overall I thought the rolls were filling and tasted very fresh. I was also in and out within 10 minutes with my takeout order which was great because I was in a hurry! I opted for the Build Your Own box - it's four rolls for $25 (four pieces in each roll). I tried the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, yellowtail scallion, and salmon avocado. I also added on a side of spicy mayo. Overall I think for the sushi quality and portion size it's a good deal! I'm glad I ordered a side sauce because they barely gave me any wasabi. I don't think I've ever seen such a small portion. That was my only notable complaint. Otherwise, the sushi was delicious - especially the yellowtail scallion roll. I'll come again next time I'm in the area! read more

Best Sushi Lunch Deal in NYC! I almost don't want to write this review, so I could keep this great deal to myself. This is a fast-casual maki (rolls) restaurants with an expanding sushi bar that services high-quality nigiri as well right in Nolita. They are currently doing a $20, $23, and $30 lunch special for dine-in only from 11am - 5:30pm every single day. The $30 lunch special includes edamame, 1 appetizer, 8 pieces of nigiri, and 2 handrolls. You can choose from Chu-Toro (medium fat tuna), Oh-Toro (fatties tuna), and even A5 Wagyu. Where else can you get Oh-Toro and A5 Wagyu sushi for just $30? And there is no limit! You can order all 8 pieces of wagyu if that is what you like. I had ordered Salmon Sashimi, 8 Nigiri (1 Yellowtail Scallion, 1 Seared Scallop, 1 Botan Ebi, 2 Chu Toro, 2 Oh Toro, and 1 Wagyu), and 2 Handrolls (1 Hot & Spicy Blue Crab and 1 Wagyu). The salmon sashimi was very fresh with a dash of ponzu sauce and sesame seeds. The nigiris are also very fresh, but I was not a fan of the sear on the scallop or the toro pieces. However, I still enjoy the butteriness of the toro. I I highly recommend the wagyu nigiri, which is topped with black truffle sauce/salt and melts in your mouth. The two handrolls were also exceptional. The blue crab handroll was made with quality blue crab and three different roes. Highly recommend the blue crab and wagyu. My boyfriend had ordered Yellowtail Jalapeno sashimi, 8 Nigiri (1 Unagi/Eel, 2 Chu Toro, 2 Oh Toro, and 3 Wagyu), and 2 Handrolls (Both Wagyu). The yellowtail jalapeno was also one of my favorite bites. I normally don't eat jalapenos, but this was just amazing! You don't really get the heat and spiciness, just the perfect contrast to the yellowtail. Highly highly recommend getting the yellowtail jalapeno as an appetizer. Shoutout to Bradley, our server! He was very sweet and nice. The chef was also amazing and friendly. He went through each piece along with what sauce was paired with it. I will definitely coming back here (every day if I can) before this lunch deal is over. read more

The first location in NYC started off just serving fast-casual Maki, but this new one is doing a full Omakase with nigiri, and it's excellent. Not only is it delicious and high quality, but it's a steal at just $60 for 12 pieces. Of course given current times, it's just outdoor seating right now with very few bar seats, and partitions between each party. If you can snag a seat, definitely try the excellent Omakase, or at least some hand rolls a la carte. read more

Absolutely DELIGHTFUL lunch spot. The lunch special is a great value and the bites were so high quality & fresh. 10/10 sushi in Soho. The sushi chef is clearly passionate about his craft and you can taste it through and through. I highly recommend you dine here! read more

Lady boxing up orders for take-out did not wash her hands after handling and tying up trash bags to store in the back room

Honestly, my friend and I didn't have plan to go to Bondi. We were just do some business around the area then she got very hungry so we were craving for raw fish. It was a bit walk in a windy Sunday evening to the restaurant but we made it to the place. It is a contemporary and modern vibe place. We both had Omakase 12 pieces nigiri tasting menu and some appetizers. Most of the time we always order wine when we eat out but for fish we decided to get "Suigei Drunken Whale" instead. Service was good and fishes were fresh and pretty good quality. My friend actually told me after we left the place that many of her friend came to this restaurant before and they all like it. We didn't try handroll because we were already full but definitely, we will come back next time for that. Recommended! read more

Lame customer service. This location is extremely disorganized. Avoid. Lots of better options out there.

Bad delivery experience. Uber Eats quoted 10-20 min but order took an hour to be delivered. And when I arrived looked like it had been through a lot! Also food was not as described - tuna crispy rice dish, rice wasn't crispy at all. Also soup was placed on top of cold sushi in the bag - making it warm. Overall food wasn't that great and delivery experience sucked. I wouldn't order from here again. read more

No longer sushi I loved. Sad to get smaller than a dime sized portion of avocado in my salmon avocado roll. If I wanted only salmon, i could have gotten that for cheaper. Literal pea size on the top side of the roll for appearances, there was none on the other end of the sushi... I could not taste the avocado. And sadly they did away with the best part of the salmon avocado roll which was the truffle oil avocado... it's just plain overpriced tasteless pea sized avocado. Extremely disappointed customer. read more

this review is for takeout ONLY. i got a spicy tuna rice bowl on mealpal which was really easy to grab and go for lunch. i showed the workers my mealpal app and they told me which shelf to pick it up from, overall process took less than 2 minutes. unfortunately for the price, i didn't really see how this was different than regular poke bowls, with the exception of the fish tasting a bit more fresh and there clearly being a lot of care when plating the bowl. i will say that they mean SPICY when they say spicy tuna. i'm not really good with spice and thought it would be an average spicy level, but it kind of killed me and my coworker was just hearing me sniffle the entire lunch time LOL i don't think this is a bowl i would try again from bondi, but i'm looking forward to trying out some of their rolls in the future! read more

Walked in for a late lunch around 3pm and it was a great experience. The salmon sashimi and the tuna chip appetizers were easily the best items I tried. It was better than omakase since you're able to pick the combinations of sushi you'd like to have instead of mostly being surprised everytime. Definitely try the tuna chip because the chips were pretty substantial while being very crunchy and just a bit salty to add texture to the tuna. The unagi was grilled to perfection and the salmon ikura handroll was tasty with the ikura changing the flavor profile a bit. The salmon sashimi had a delicious sauce to dip the salmon, which was out of control. Would definitely come back for the 2 appetizers even if I couldn't have any Nigiri or handrolls. read more

I ordered in Bondi sushi with a friend from the Nolita location and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Classic Catch box, Hotbox, and a mushroom roll. Each box had great variety that included 4 different rolls with 4 pieces each including ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. The fish was so fresh and the rolls were very big! We especially enjoyed the yellowtail scallion roll and salmon avocado roll that came with the classic box. Our favorite from the Hotbox were the spicy salmon and spicy tuna. However, all rolls were super delicious! I highly recommend this for quality sushi at a great price point. read more

This is a sushi chain that has slowly but surely expanded in Manhattan over the years. This particular location has a sit down restaurant portion as well as a take out counter next door. I ordered several rolls for take out: spicy blue crab, salmon jalapeno, shrimp avocado, and yellowtail scallion. They have a build your own box option for $23 which was what I ordered, and the salmon avocado was $10.25. The packaging and overall presentation is quite cute, reminds me of all the other cute bougie fast casual sushi chain to-go boxes (e.g. sugarfish, kazunori). The crab and shrimp rolls were quite good and fresh. The salmon jalapeño roll was what caught me off guard. I assumed it would be fresh jalapeño but they used the pickled/jarred kind (the ones you'd find on top of nachos). The flavor wasn't horrible but I think I'd skip this one next time. Another pet peeve I have with sashimi/sushi is when they don't cut across the grain, and you sometimes end up spitting out (sorry I know, gross) the entire bite of fish because there's a long string of fiber. This was the case with the yellowtail roll. Overall I still would recc this place as your next sushi take out option! read more
