Amazing meal, we totally weren't expecting it after reading the reviews but this was legit fantastic. The server was excellent and added great dishes that we would not have otherwise enjoyed.

BondST - Donuts 2 jelly 2 cream - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

We were really disappointed with our experience at BondST Noho. To start, our lounge reservation for 4 was seated at a small circle table clearly meant for a max of 2-3 people. The backless chairs didn't help, and it was obvious from the beginning that this wasn't going to be a comfortable meal. Unfortunately, the service did little to improve things. Our waitress came across as very curt and disengaged from the moment we arrived, making us feel like an inconvenience instead of guests. The food was the highlight of the night. Both the crispy shrimp & the big eye tuna tart were excellent, great flavors.The espresso martini tasted solid, and their old fashioned was decent. We were halfway through our entrees when one person still hadn't received their sushi roll. When we asked our waitress about it, she told us "she didn't think the table had room for another sushi roll, so she was waiting until someone finished" ....what? I'm guessing it was just forgotten since it appeared just a couple of minutes later. The 2 stars are for the food alone. While most dishes were quite good, the uncomfortable seating, indifferent service, and overall experience fell short of expectations -- especially at this pricing. read more

I super don't know how to feel about this place. After leaving, it totally felt like a restaurant you go to be seen at rather than for the food, and the food just happened to be sushi and izakaya. The vibe is small tables and dim lighting, and it gets loud as the night goes on. Now this is a bit of a mixed message, because the sushi actually is good. It's clearly intended to be very showy with all the gold flake, but in the end it's not bad at all, although it is absolutely priced accordingly. So it's not my scene, and it didn't feel like the food was core to the restaurant, but it also wasn't bad. read more

Came with a friend for dinner on a cold Thursday night, and the place was packed! Good thing we got reservations. Funny enough, I've never tried BondST despite living in NYC forever and hearing great things about their sushi. Finally, got to try their infamous tuna tarts and crispy rice! I ordered a Tito's martini which was made super well, but pricy - $28... We shared: -spicy tuna crispy rice -spicy crab crispy rice -Tuna tarts -Wagyu and foie gras dumplings -scallop roll -spicy yellowtail roll Honestly everything was amazing, but i wasn't blown away by the quality. Definitely really good though, but not sure the price is warranted.... Some rolls were close to $40! We also shared the crispy banana dumplings for dessert. Those were fried well and came on a chocolate sauce and yummy whipped cream. Overall, really cool spot for a special date night or GNO but wouldn't make it apart of your daily rotation. read more

Service was quick and attentive. Food was good but pricier than I would like. When it comes to just the food and service, it is easily a four out of five. Now onto the total experience, it would definitely be a two out of five. We came here for a birthday celebration but the vibes were slightly ruined because of the party next to us. The party next to us was celebrating an engagement that occurred right before their dinner. Not sure if the restaurant was aware as once the newly engaged couple and others joined, they had to bring many chairs to fit the whole group. They were a bit rude and obnoxious, but we tried to understand to the best of our ability as it was a joyous occasion for them. Whether it was constant flashing (photos) for 2 hours or bumping into us while they got around the table, we really tried to understand. I commend the staff for trying to calm the situation down for both our party and the party next to us as frustrations were shared. Appreciate the comped desserts for dealing with the party next to us. read more

Excellent service. From the front door all the way to the person filling your water.. excellent. Very attentive staff and great execution. I love a spicy margarita but I would pass on the jalapeño cocktail. The spicy crab rice cakes were very good. The ginger and wasabi were refreshing. Dim lighting and very clean restrooms. They were quick with bringing food out so if you wanted to grab a quick $$$ bite you could definitely make a res and be out in 45 min. We made our reservation for 5:45 pm. I've had a better spicy tuna roll for a lower price but the service was spot on and the rice cakes were phenomenal. I'm also basic so maybe don't get the spicy tuna roll read more

Big eye tuna tarts, tuna crispy rice, grilled octopus, pan roasted salmon, pressed eel roll, lobster tempura roll, bread pudding... of the 7 items, I would reorder 3 - the big eye tuna tarts, tuna crispy rice, and bread pudding Are the vibes cute? Yes. The service? Excellent. But if I'm going to a restaurant, I expect to be blown away by the food, not just the vibes and service. The big eye tuna tarts and tuna crispy rice were packed with flavor and I would definitely recommend. The tuna crispy rice was really crispy, slightly spicy w the gochujang. I couldn't really taste the white truffle for the tuna tarts but the creamy ponzu was delicious I was most disappointed with the sushi rolls. Eel is one of my go to orders when I'm eating sushi and while it was good, it was nothing unique, besides the addition of the almonds, which weren't even toasted like they described. The lobster tempura roll was a major miss. The flavor profile was lacking lobster, when that should be the star of the dish. For the price tag of $62 for two rolls, definitely not worth it The grilled octopus and pan roasted salmon were good but I've had better versions at other restaurants The bread pudding, is to die for. Never had anything like it. SO SO DELICIOUS!!! read more

First let me say that we were so looking forward to eating here after hearing great things from friends, so perhaps we experienced the restaurant on an "off" night. First we were told to get a drink at the bar as our table was being set up. It was 5:45 and the restaurant was still quite empty. As soon as were served at the bar, our table was ready and we had to carry full martini glasses to the elevator to the second floor seating area, which was empty. No one offered to carry the drinks for us. The food was delicious, but we hardly had the time to appreciate it. Every five mins a waiter would come by and ask if we were done to remove the plates and glasses. My plate was literally full, I had one bite, and he asked if I was done. My martini was removed with one third still left in the glass. I ordered another and clearly the 2nd fl bartender did not know how to make a French martini, I had to send it back. It's truly a shame that a restaurant that charges premium prices could not allow a table for two to sit for 90 minutes and enjoy a great meal. We were in and out with apps, entrees and two rounds of drinks in under an hour. As cool as the vibe was, it was not an enjoyable or comfortable experience. We will not go back. read more

Some of the best sushi I've had. The space is dimly let and the service was great! They have several floors, each with a different vibe to them. We started with the tuna tart and the scallops with cauliflower appetizers. The tuna tart was one of the best things I've eaten all year - worth the hype. The mixed green ginger salad was also incredible!! I got the spicy tuna roll and it was so fresh and amazing quality. Ended with the mochi ice cream (comes with 6 total, 2 of each of the 3 flavors). I fear that cheap takeout sushi is ruined for me because of how good this meal was. read more

Upon entering, I didn't realize it's actually 3 floors! When we checked in on the 1st floor, we were guided to take the elevators upstairs. It's so dim inside and definitely makes the atmosphere more romantic, but the tables were a bit too close together so you lose that intimate feel. There were some big hits and serious misses. Both cocktails were expertly made and the perfect balance of sweet, aromatic, and luscious. I definitely recommend! The Big Eye Tuna Tarts was my favorite bite all night! It's light, luxurious, and delicate. I love that every layer was so thin but you can still taste every ingredient. The white truffle oil adds the perfect depth, the tart is light and crisp, and the tuna is so fresh and soft. It's definitely going down as one of my favorite bites of 2026. The Szechuan Yellowtail Sashimi had a clean, citrusy flavor more than a kick I was expecting from the Szechuan. It's not spicy at all but more zesty and umami. The A5 Wagyu Crispy Rice was one of their Specials menu items. It was savory fragrant but was lacking a "wow" factor. I would've preferred the A5 wagyu to be cooked or torched. Nothing else we got stood out or would order again. The Spicy Crispy Shrimp was not spicy or crispy. There was a good amount of sesame oil which I enjoyed but not enough to save it. Both rolls were good quality but not cohesive in flavor and felt like they lacked taste. We got 2 desserts but honestly, I'd skip dessert here and go somewhere else. Don't forget to grab a matchbook on your way out. Good try overall! read more

The food was fantastic and there were so many choices. The waiter was so helpful and suggested options for each section definitely get their help if it is your first time and save room for dessert.

BondST - Spicy Yellowtail Roll - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I knew this place was trendy, so I really didn't know what to expect of the food. But, I was completely blown away with our meal! So much so that I made another reservation immediately afterwards to bring my other friends here. The inside is very dark and intimate. We had a pretty big group, so we shared the tuna tarts, tuna crispy rice, crispy shrimp, broiled sea bass, pork belly, skirt steak, spicy tuna roll, scallop roll, toro roll, and the bread pudding. Best dish here is definitely the tuna tarts. Our waiter recommended it, and I'm so glad we ordered it! It's not something that I would usually order, but I could eat like 5 of these myself. Other standouts were the tuna crispy rice, spicy tuna roll, and the miso sea bass. This sea bass tastes like the one at nobu but 100x better. The texture of the fish is indescribable. You just have to try for yourself! This place is pricey though, so it's a great spot for a date night or a special occasion dinner with friends. Or just a normal Friday night. I'm so excited to come back here! read more

The atmosphere and ambiance was great. The food (octopus and scallops) were just okay and nothing I would come back to try again. The service lacked....the main bartender, Miko, seemed to be under a lot of pressure with the demands of making drinks and was therefore not attentive to me and my partner. He definitely was not the friendliest and after we were served our food, he never came over to assure if our order was correct, how everything tasted, or if we needed anything else. For this type of establishment...please do better. read more

This place really surprised me! I had somewhat heard of BondSt but my friend was in town and we wanted to check out the hype. WOW it was definitley worth! Although when I checked the day before there were reservations they said it was only for the bar. I called the restaurant and the staff was very accommodating and gave us a seat in the actual restaurant portion. Apparently on OpenTable, the bar is the lounge area on the main floor where standard seating is the restaurant section on the second floor. Vibes were super sexy with dim lit lighting, great date night spot but fun to come with friends who are ready to splurge because we wanted to try a lot. The spicy Tina crispy rice was absolutely delicious, and the chutorro nigiri were the standouts for me. In terms of appetizers, the tuna tart was delicious but slightly overhyped. I liked the yellowtail sashimi more. The only thing I thought was truly overrated was the short rib gyoza. But honestly you can't really get much wrong here I'd imagine. I'd definitely come again. read more

With a nice atmosphere and diverse menu, BondST is better than the cash grabby Nobu. However, how much better? This is *easily* a $125pp restaurant and it has quite a bit of room for improvement. Service was very good, pacing was solid, tap water service was phenomenal. The two raw apps, the red snapper carpaccio and Szechuan yellowtail sashimi, were excellent. The $52 grilled skirt steak was not good--an overly-seasoned chintzy cut that wasn't cooked properly. $36 crispy shrimp were also prepared lazily (dominated by breading that was not crispy) and were disappointing. Chicken buns were tasty and featured surprisingly large portions. Tuna crispy rice pretty good, but $34 is a ton of money!! Pressed eel maki was meh, sun-dried tomato & avo maki was okay but if you're going to try this I think there's quite a bit more that can be accomplished here. I support this as a Nobu alternative but there's not way this is in the top tier of Japanese/fusion restaurants in the city. read more

This place is so unique. When we got dropped off, it felt like we were walking into someone's apartment home. We had a reservation so definitely get one the place was full. I have to say I love the inside. It's very dark and intimate and just great vibes. The hostess was so nice and took our coats and checked them for us and guided us to the bar while we waited a couple of minutes for our table. The bartender was amazing that he knew how to put drinks together very well. We ordered a good amount of food since we love to just try a lot of things and be able to share. I have to say that this place had amazing Japanese Uni. This is one of the best ones I've had and it was just perfect and creamy. I'm very flavorful. I did start with the mushroom soup and let me tell you it did not disappoint. It was a big portion but very delicious. We also got the crispy rice with spicy salmon, which was very flavorful and definitely a order you must get. We also got a roll that was not our favorite and I don't think I would order it again. It just sounded really good. We ended with dessert because they had a seasonal pumpkin cake and it was not disappointed at all. Our waitress recommended it and she was very good. I recommend recommending dishes. I loved that the cake was not overly sweet. It was just perfect and it was nice and moist as well. Next time I'm in New York. I would definitely book this again since it was a very nice top-notch restaurant for me. read more

Every person should come here at least once in their life. Whether it's a date night, a group dinner, or a girly get together, this is your vibe. The sake and wine menu is impressively long and the waitress was very knowledgeable in pairing our taste to the sake. All of the food tastes beyond expectations. The portions are a pretty big size so don't over order-- it's tempting because the menu is extensive plus specials. The Chilean sea bass was the softest I've ever tried. The shrimp risotto was the only dish that I wasn't a fan of. The mood is so intimate and sexy here. The wait staff does an amazing job and they're so professional and accommodating.

The atmosphere is the only good thing about BondST. It's dark and ambient, though quite loud. The food, however, is extremely overpriced. The fish is not nearly as good as other NYC sushi spots, but they charge an absolute premium. They rest on their "date night" appeal while offering subpar sushi. I would never go back again. read more

I really wanted to love BONDST. My boyfriend and I came here last night to celebrate our one-year anniversary -- we'd heard great things and were excited for a special evening. Sadly, the experience didn't live up to the hype or the price tag. We spent over $400 for what we hoped would be a top-tier sushi experience, but the food was underwhelming at best. Out of the eight dishes we ordered, only one -- the crispy rice with spicy tuna -- stood out. The rest felt basic and uninspired, especially for an upscale sushi spot in NYC. Presentation-wise, it looked like the kitchen just threw the rolls over a leaf and sent them out. We expected much more artistry and finesse. Timing was also an issue. The appetizers came out quickly, but then we waited about 30 minutes for the rest of our food, which really disrupted the flow of the meal. For a restaurant of this caliber, that kind of wait was surprising. That said, a few positives: the bartender was incredible -- friendly, attentive, and made fantastic drinks. He was honestly the highlight of the night. The complimentary champagne was a lovely touch, and the dessert was delicious. We appreciate the gestures, but for a fine dining experience at this price point, we left feeling disappointed -- especially on a night that meant so much to us. We were hoping for an unforgettable dinner, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. I'm writing this review not to tear down the restaurant, but in the hopes that the team takes this feedback seriously. We wanted to become regulars here -- we still might be open to giving it another shot if the experience could be elevated to match the promise. read more

Overall really like this place and would recommend it. We loved everything we had & the only thing preventing my review from being 5 stars is the aggressive use of wasabi underneath the nigiri. The wagyu skirt steak appetizer & the tuna tarts are stand outs. The tuna tarts were a rec from our waiter & was so glad we got that as it was delicious. We ordered a ton of nigiri and while the fish seemed of good quality we didn't enjoy it properly as they put a ton of wasabi under the fish. I really wished they state this on the menu as we don't love wasabi & it ruined the taste for us. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Drinks are strong and tasty. Ambiance is vibey and dimly lit. Will definitely return but will be asking for no wasabi next time. ;) read more
