Solid 4/5. Came here for lunch and we tried their omakase ($75 pp), added the cauliflower tempura ($14) and crispy rice (yellowtail & lobster yuzu) ($18) and 2 hot tea ($7). Total bill $251. They offer counter seats and also a takeaway section. Decor is modern and fast sushi. We made a reservation but since we're the first to arrive, didn't really need it. Service was fine, the tea refills, and the chef was nice to keep a good "pace". We were full but wonder had we not added the extras... would we still? The fish pieces were good, on the thinner cut side... for the price, it was good. Loved the cauliflower tempura! Super tasty! BUT would skip the crispy rice stuff... it was underwhelming. Overall, a good lunch spot and would eat again! Let's Go! 2026! read more

The sushi (crunchy bits on spicy tuna and salmon and spicy blue crab) were very good. The crispy rice, though, was dry and cold - not a good choice for delivery - that's probably a eat-in-the-restaurant. Delivery in nice lovely boxes and plenty of soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. read more

Sushi is a really tough competition in nyc. This spot was very upscale and classy on the inside with pretty professional chefs and service. The sushi was solid. Some pieces were better than others. The hand rolls were very stuffed with fish, which was good because it wasn't too rice heavy. The fish was really tasty. I especially liked the truffle one. The only reason I'm giving this less stars is because the crispy rice was a little disappointing. They were small and the rice wasn't that's crispy. The rice to fish ratio was very good though. We also ordered a second round of food and i think they may have forgotten about it because it took a very long time to get two pieces read more

I have seen this chain all over my social media but never had the chance to come by. When my bestie and I casually walked right by it from our workout class we decided to come by for dinner. We do recommend making reservations online since it is mainly bar seating (they do have take out options which I know a lot of people opt for) and it was fairly packed when we got here. We came here on 6:30 pm on a Wednesday and we were seated right away. The menu pretty decent - they have omakase options, handroll options and a la carte options as well. We decided to go with the five special handroll option for $40. They make all the handrolls fresh in front of you and the chef urged us to eat them right away so the seaweed doesn't get all weird and soggy. -Wagyu Handroll: This was really yummy, they do torched the meat but still tasty. -Scallop Handroll: Another solid yummy one, they have a good amount of scallop in here compare to other handroll places. -Lobster: This one was just alright, I would pass on this one -Toro Scallion: Another solid one, but I love toro handrolls in general. Once again a good amount of fish in this one. -Salmon Ikura: This was pretty standard, but not bad! Overall - solid place for quick sushi if you are in the mood for it. I def want to come back to try their crispy rice after. The waitress was also super nice and offered us both a free sake shot after our meal which was def a nice touch! read more

Decent Sushi, Inconsistent Service I was craving sushi on a weekend afternoon and noticed Bondi nearby. I'd seen them as a lunch option at work, so I was excited to finally try them in person. Food: 4/5 I didn't expect top-tier sushi, but I figured it would be better than typical takeout. Instead of omakase, we opted for a prix-fixe hand roll set and added some nigiri. The scallop and wagyu rolls were our favorites, though some pieces had too much rice, and the tuna rolls were forgettable. It was a nice touch that they pre-cut our rolls so we could easily share. The fish quality was decent--not high-end omakase level, but a solid mid-tier sushi option that won't break the bank. Service: 3/5 We arrived between lunch and dinner (around 3-5 PM), and it showed. Our original server left mid-meal, leaving just one overwhelmed staff member and transitioning chefs. Because of this, two of our handrolls were served, after the chefs cleaned their stations, resulting an extra 20 minutes wait. The restaurant tried to compensate with sake, but since we don't drink often, it wasn't much of a gesture. They didn't adjust our bill, and by the end, we had to flag down the hostess just to get the check. Still a $100+ bill but sadly that more common with sushi these days. Overall: Bondi's takeout might be a better option than dining in. The sushi is good for the price, but the in-person experience left a lot to be desired. read more

Bondi Sushi - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Bondi is a great and consistent sushi experience. Edomae style sushi with an occasional twist, pillowy shari, and fresh, seasonal cuts. I've been to the locations on 5th and UES - it was my first time at this location. The L-bar is bright, well lit and immaculate with an ocean theme (blues, whites, greens for color tones) . There are about 10 seats on one side and 4 on the other, and nearly all will provide you with a clear view of the action behind the bar. But if you want the best view of the chefs in action? Sit near the door. There is an outdoor space, and yesterday they had live music. Not sure if that was a one off occasion, but it was good, and we enjoyed the melodies from inside. It complemented the relaxed vibe inside the restaurant. The service was impeccable - staff was attentive but not overbearing. They all introduced themselves, and the chef paid attention to how fast we were eating to place our next piece. One of our party was prone to savoring pieces, and the chef placed the pieces neatly side by side so that they could continue their meal at leisure. I asked to be accommodated to eat traditionally, and the chef requested oshibori for me. Thanks all around. All the pieces were solid - my favorites were the kanpachi, hotate, king salmon, and hamachi. Something that caught our attention in particular was the ebi with finger lime. That contrast in texture between the soft yield of the shrimp and the popping brightness of the lime is a must-experience end-of-summer treasure. The sushi was the main event, but we also had the Heavensake sake flight for $33, which was a good offering for the selection and price. I'm not sure if they had dessert, but there are a plethora of options in the area, including Levain bakery, their next door neighbor. The photos speak for themselves, but I highly recommend this location, and Bondi overall. read more

Bondi is one of my go-to places for quick, sushi delivery when I'm in NYC. Their delivery fees on apps are typically incredibly low with reasonable delivery times and there is a level of consistency that is always present whenever I order. (And I've been ordering from here for years.) I never feel worried about if the sushi is fresh or what it's going to taste like. I usually order the Bondi's Best box, which consists of the following rolls: spicy blue crab, salmon cucumber, shrimp avocado and truffle avocado. (The spicy blue crab is by far my favorite.) Sometimes I'll opt for tye Build Your Own box, just because I like the spicy blue crab and shrimp avocado rolls the most and also like to switch things up and try some other rolls from time to time. The boxes are always neatly and tightly packed with 16 pieces of sushi and I've never received a box with any of my sushi out of place. If you're travel and have to eat this in a hotel room, the box is so convenient with it's little soy sauce holder on the side. I can easily eat it just about anywhere with ease. Bonus points: You can also order special side sauces and dressings. Do yourself a favor and try the truffle ponzu as a dipper. You will not regret it! read more

I love Bondi Sushi. While you can find competitive sushi prices in EV and SoHo, Bondi actually FILLS their rolls with fish. Unless you choose an add-on, other places pack rolls with rice or veggies with the slimmest strip of fish. At Bondi, the rolls are genuinely packed, which makes the value feel much better. ALSO employee at the locations I've stopped (UWS & SoHo) for quick pick-up has been incredibly kind. MY ONLY WISH IS they had more eel options and allowed eel as a protein in the build-your-own bowls. I also think the nigiri prices run a bit high compared to places like New Mizu where you can get two pieces for around $3.90. Overall though, Bondi is one of my go-to spots for quick, quality sushi. read more

Solid sushi spot with reasonable prices and good sushi. It is mid on all fronts, but not in a bad way. You don't always want a fancy 5 star four dollar sign sushi restaurant or a hole-in-the-wall. Bondi Sushi serves that middle market perfectly, which is exactly what we were looking for the day we happened up on it. The sushi is high quality, good sushi. Not the fanciest or best, but good. Ambiance is casual+ - could work for a very casual meal or something a bit nicer. Prices are appropriate. I'm a fan! read more

This is just a fast casual sushi place that is popular with the lunch and takeout crowd. It was started by Americans and they have a few locations in NYC. It is not a good place to go for high quality sushi but is meant for someone looking for something quick. If it was cheaper, I would give them another star but for what it is, this place is overpriced. One of their meal boxes is made up of 16 pieces of sushi. If you choose only one type of sushi roll, it is $20-$25. If you want to choose 4 different rolls for your 16 pieces, it is $27.50. Even for nowadays with rampant inflation, that is too much for a lunch that is not much better than sushi you can find in an Asian supermarket or food court. read more

We walked into the Bryant Park location around 3pm on Valentine's Day hoping to make a dinner reservation that night. The manager herself took our reservation for 3 people at 6pm. When we came back for dinner, the manager told us we had the table for one hour. Had she said that earlier, we wouldn't have decided to eat there. How can you expect 3 people to eat and drink in an hour and then spend Manhattan prices too??? Have no idea if it was good or bad since we walked out. Will not spend my money in any of their locations when I am in the city. read more

Great handroll spot! Affordable, but doesn't skimp on quality of fish. Sit at the counter for better service / experience. Counter is pretty big so you should be able to snag a seat! The interior is very calming and makes for a great solo lunch spot. Make sure to get the spicy scallop, hands down one of the best in the city. read more

Update: 9/12/25 Everything I ordered was fishy and tasted old and horrible. The rolls weren't cut through fully with a knife and the fish haphazardly thrown in the box. The tuna was grey in color, the avocado brown, the rice hard and the seaweed wilted. What happened?! read more

I ordered ToGo and got the Hot box: spicy salmon, spicy blue crab, spicy tuna, yellowtail jalapeno. It was a bit disappointing. None of the rolls were "separated" and the seaweed were all attached together. The blue crab was a bit salty and fishy. The other rolls were okay. Service was fine. I had better rolls at other places! read more

Came here for lunch and ended ordering 10 rolls. What can you say, I was hungry. The whole experience was fast. Faster when I would have liked. Being that I made reservation for 1, I was seated right away and the waitress immediately serve me water (wish it was hot tea) and then gave me the menu. Shortly after, she took my order and boom, the rolls started coming. I almost felt obligated to finish my rolls as it was clear the chef was waiting for me and I find sometimes he doesn't even bother waiting as he'll roll the second one while the first one is still sitting on my dish. Flavor wise, the quality is good but I tasted more rice then fish. The seaweed was not as crispy as I would have hopped and the rice tasted too packed in so it didn't have a airy feel to it. I did like that the chef also filled up my pickled ginger over and over again as I can honestly eat a whole dish of it. Lol. As for the seating, I like that it was surrounding the chef so you can see them in action but the rounded stool was just too small for butt and the seating just too packed next to each other so a few times I accidentally bump elbow with guest sitting next to me. Overall my dining experience felt rushed and being that it was so fast, I don't feel like I really got to marinate mentally each pieces. read more

I came by for the lunch menu on a weekday, it's been on my list for a while and I'm glad I did! The lunch menu is very generous and included an appetizer, 6 pieces of nigiri, and 2 hand rolls. It's the perfect amount of food and the lunch price is unbeatable! We also ordered crispy rice with lobster yuzu and spicy tuna. My favorite was the lobster yuzu. For nigiri I o toro, Chu toro, and the wagyu. My favorite was the wagyu the sauce was great. The scallop sashimi was also a highlight and super flavorful. The service was great and the chef was able to accommodate many people all at once by himself which is quite impressive. The servers were very helpful. The restaurant is set up as bar seating only and the space was well lit and beautiful inside. read more

I came by Bondi Sushi on a Tuesday night without a reservation with a friend around 6:30 PM and we were seated immediately. The spot is modern and cute with seats around the bar. The menu features mostly hand rolls and nigiri, but also 6 pieces of crispy rice for $18, and appetizers. They offer a hand roll special of 5 for $40. The hand rolls are a bit on the smaller side. For reference, I ordered 3 hand rolls and had 3 pieces of crispy rice. I ordered the yellowtail, seared unagi avocado, and wagyu rolls. My favorites were the seared unagi and wagyu rolls - they were superrr yummy. They also offered us a yuzu lemon crème brûlée on the house at the end. I think this was the best crème brûlée I've ever had - the yuzu lemon was genius. Overall, this is a solid hand roll spot! read more

This is the first time I've ever written a review but my experience was so bad I had to do it. I've eaten at many sushi restaurants around NYC but I've never felt so ripped off.

Try to go another sushi roll restaurant from the same street but end up in Bondi Sushi and it's a great turn out. Modern and clean deco and their service is quick. From the experience of a la carte experience, they give decent amount of fish on their hand rolls I saw the cut the fish from the counter. It's super fresh especially it's the madai (sea bream) and torched afterwards. We're going to be back. read more

Not the best sushi I've ever had by far, but definitely a solid place to go for lunch! Total was around $40, and you could choose any pieces out of their menu for the deal. I got the $32 dollar lunch menu with the seared tuna tataki, otoro and chutoro (my favorite) nigiri, toro scallion handroll, and wagyu handroll. I wasn't very fond of the overly sweet sauce they had on some of the pieces (my friend and I shared the salmon appetizer), and the rich wasn't very flavorful. The fish was pretty solid, though. Would come here again! I've also had their take out boxes before, and I find those to be good bang for your buck more so than the lunch special. read more
