Fantastic spot to grab happy hour with friends, colleagues or even a date. The scene is chic and trendy as well as spacious. They actually have a happy hour special in midtown which is hard to find and some really good deals. Beer, sake, cocktails, rolls, fried chicken, pork rolls....they were all good. Service was fantastic! read more

I had really high expectations after seeing so many people rave about this place. The food was great, but I wasn't as blown away as I thought I'd be. The interior of the restaurant was swanky and the service was excellent. There is so much seating which made it easy to get a reservation. Food wise, we ordered the tuna rice cracker, octopus, short rib, and pork belly skewers, Japanese scallop, big eye tuna, and udon noodles. My favorites were definitely the short rib and udon. They offer a chefs tasting menu which was very appealing but we felt it was too much food for us in the moment. Next time I come back, I will definitely do the tasting to try more menu items! Definitely worth a try! read more

I know this place has some mixed reviews so wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Some things I liked more than others, but overall I enjoyed my experience and thought the food was better than expected. I think it's a great option if in the area. Ambiance / Service: restaurant is huge, especially for New York standards. This would be a good spot for a large group. It's dim, moody, and has kind of a "sexy" vibe. However, it was pretty quiet on a Friday night around 6pm and there's a giant tv in the bar that faces out towards the restaurant that kind of kills the vibe because it's so bright. Service was absolutely impeccable - shoutout to the younger Asian man with earrings. He made great recommendations and was super friendly and attentive. Food: split the below among 2 hungry people and it was a good amount of food (no leftovers, but we did leave stuffed) -Wagyu Soup Dumpling: comes with 4. Flavorful and good, but almost more like a pan fried dumpling (crispy on the bottom and not that soupy). -Duck Scrapple Bao: comes with 2. Would order again. -Robatayaki: ordered a few of these. They are fairly small, so if dining with more than 2 people, you may need to order more than 1. My favorite was actually the Maitake Mushroom. -Toro + Soy + Caviar: nothing crazy here, but tastes exactly what you'd want / expect. Fish was very fresh. -Yellowtail + Soy + Chili + Garlic: same here. -Bluecrab Handroll: delicious. Exactly how a crab handroll should taste. -Double Knot Big Eye Tuna: it has the name in it so had to order. It wasn't bad by any means, but not as flavorful as I was hoping for based on the description. I would probably skip. -Grilled Japanese Wagyu: this was a beautiful dish and interactive where you grill the Wagyu on stone. But this was actually our least favorite. It was the least flavorful. Love sesame, but I think this dish needed a more flavorful sauce pairing. Was a bit bland. -Black Cod Fried Rice: not fishy, surprisingly very flavorful. Would order again. read more

Made a reservation at the sushi bar area tables for 2 people. Warning: revolving door is heavy AF. I tried: + Anchor hitch cocktail (HH menu) - great + Edamame dumplings (HH) - highlight #1 + Spicy tuna roll (HH) - fine + Ikura - highlight #2 + Blue crab hand roll - not good. Too cold and seaweed was chewy. Kazunori's is wayy better + Brussels sprouts - good + miso caramel and banana chocolate soft serve - highlight #3, miso caramel was awesome Nice that they let us order from the HH menu at the table (as opposed to that menu being redirected to the bar). HH food/drinks are def the move here. I mean an $8 cocktail near rock center???? read more

I was headed elsewhere when I happened to stumble upon Double Knot. I have been to Double Knot in Philly which I love so I was excited to find out that there iin NYC. This place is a vibe. It is dark and cute for a date night. It has a large bar. I chose to sit at the bar and the bartenders were super friendly. What I like about Double Knot is that it has small plates so you can get a few things. I got Cheesesteak Bao buns and the Albacore tuna. Those Bao buns are soooo good. The ribeye and cheese with the soft bao buns. Amazing! The Albacore was a nice light app if you arent that hungry. Cant wait to go back and get other things on the menu. They have a great happy hour as well and some great cocktails on the menu. I don't like the fact that its in a high touristy area but I guess I will deal. read more

Accidentally booked a resy at the Philly location but the staff were kind enough to get me and a friend seated. Space was beautiful and a perfect location in midtown. Good crowd of after-work / client dinners. While our service was a bit slow (no waiter for 20 min), had to ask for water refills etc, food was great and good vibes! We definitely ordered too much. We really enjoyed everything including: -spicy tuna crispy rice (was able to add 1 more piece to have 4 total) -wagyu soup dumplings -cheesesteak baos -short rib and rib eye robotayaki -toro scallion roll -spicy scallop roll -Chirachi roll (no wasabi) -double knot big eye tuna roll -soft serve ice cream The sushi was super fresh and tasty! Especially loved how spicy the spicy scallop was and the double knot special roll. Wish service was better, but would definitely come back. read more

This was probably a 4 for me but after accounting for the relatively cheap price for the chef's tasting, my husband may have convinced me maybe it's closer to 4.5 or 5. I would definitely recommend doing the tasting if it's your first time. It was a nice intro to each category on the menu and the portion sizes were quite reasonable. Everything was pretty good and I appreciated the diversity of the menu. If I'm recalling correctly, the cocktail was quite nice too. Overall, a nice spot to try! read more

They did an amazing job with the interior decoration. Dimly lit with candles, this is a perfect date night spot with amazing happy hour deals. The sushi rolls were so tasty and fresh. I'm such a fan of shrimp tempura but this really has topped all the ones I've ever had. Also please try their soft serve dessert! So delicious. read more

Really got to try a variety of the expansive menu by ordering many of the smaller shareables. The pork tonkatsu is a yummy filling--be warned if you're trying to portion! My fav item is the duck buns. So crispy and flavorful. It was the first item I ate and all I could think about the full meal. I knew I wanted to try the robatayaki but I would say these feel lackluster in the grand scheme of things. The drinks have a wide variety of exciting mixes and aromas too. I can tell this place is still new though. The workers had to be reminded of our orders, and items came out slow. Seems like they're still trying to nail down a system. read more

2 stars because the service was impeccable and the interior was immaculate, however the food left much to be desired. I came in for dinner to finish out a day trip to NYC. I opted for the chef's select menu as I had never been here before and wanted to try a few things from the menu. I really had no preference and there was an option to have the chefs make a selection for you so I asked that they did. What followed ultimately made me sick in the restaurant. $98 plus tip literally down the toilet in the restaurant. The meal started off strong with the Hamachi Carpaccio and the Tuna rice cracker although the crispy rice square that came with the tuna was a bit on the chewy side for me. This was followed by the crispy tofu and the edamame dumpling. I would definitely skip these as the tofu wasn't crispy and had an unsettling texture and the dumplings were filled with puréed edamame which were also unpleasant. These were followed by the miso eggplant was extremely hot and soggy along with the Ribeye scallion that was actually really good. These scallops and the wagyu Bavette were also really although I did not particularly care for the miso butter that came with it which maybe because I was nauseous at this point. I did get to try the cauliflower side as this was included as one of my courses, but I am really not a fan of "fried" vegetables as they are usually soggy on the inside and are rarely ever crispy. I also only received 9 items instead of 10 and I did not get to try any of the poultry items on the menu. The meal finished with a soft serve ice cream that was good, but this overall experience left much to be desired. If you are planning on dining here and doing the chef's select menu pick what you want and don't leave it up to the chef's in the back as you may regret it like I did. I personally won't be back ever. read more

Very disappointing. Double Knot is part of a Philadelphia chain. It is supposed to be a Japanese izakaya, but the quality is mediocre. There is a vibe upstairs but downstairs is dead. The service is good. Ultimately the big fail is the food. This may pass for Japanese food in the City of Brotherly Love, but it will not cut it in NY. read more

Double Knot - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered: The Anchor Hitch (~$8 HH price): rum lychee, Thai basil, lime The Tautline Hitch (~$8 HH price): vodka, apple, lime, ginger Short Rib Robatayaki (~$11 HH price) Chicken Thigh Robatayaki (~$7 HH price) Ribeye Scallion Robatayaki (~$9 HH price) Chirashi (~$12 HH price): sushi rice, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tamago, scallion Japanese Fried Chicken (~$15 HH price): daikon, miso, scallions Edamame Dumplings (~$12 HH price): truffle, pea shoot, sake broth Tuna Rice Cracker (~$16): soy, chili, nori Wagyu Soup Dumplings (~$15): ginger, soy, chili Cheesesteak Bao (~$17): ribeye and provolone, salsa Aya's take: Double Knot's third location (after Philly & Miami) but my first time trying it! The interior is beautiful and the ambiance is chic making this a great spot for a date, dinner with the girls, or what I came for - Happy Hour! There's plenty of seating and getting a reservation wasn't hard but I imagine that might change as more people hear about it. Majority of the items we got were from the HH menu which is everyday from 4-6pm at the bar! The bar seating area also extends beyond the bar itself. We were actually sitting at a table which was great. Out of everything we ordered, the must tries were all the Robatayakis! And if you don't believe me, start with the Short Rib Robatayaki and I guarantee you'll double back and get more. The Chirashi was my second favorite. It's a small yet mighty bowl, and the seafood & tamago were super fresh! I liked the truffle flavor in the Edamame Dumplings and of course the Tuna Rice Cracker needed an appearance on the table. Everything else was either not worth it or didn't hit. Even the cocktails which were a steal at ~$8 but I didn't really taste much besides lime. Great try and definitely a superior Happy Hour in the city! read more

An import from Philly, it's a very midtown Japanese spot that will be crawling with power lunchers once they open during the day, and for now will be filled with office workers forced to eat together for team dinners. They have a really extensive happy hour menu, which can add up to a lot if you try a bunch of dishes for a few bucks less each. The raw fish is great and some apps like the Wagyu soup dumplings are delicious, but skip some things like the way too thick pork tonkatsu. The Miso Caramel soft serve is exceptionally good, so don't leave without that. read more

Originating from Philly, Double Knot offers sushi, robatayaki, and cocktails. Making dinner reservations was super easy!

The place is dim-lit and swanky-like, with comfortable seating arrangements. I'd be interested in trying out their Chef's Select Menu on the next visit! +fresh sushi/sashimi +friendly & attentive staff +online reservations accepted read more

I had seen double knot on Instagram and everything looks so yummy. I had to visit. It didn't disappoint. I sat downstairs at the bar. The restaurant is absolutely lovely. Two floors with tables and three different bar areas. I started with the pork gyoza which was a little spicy for my taste and didn't taste what I expected it to taste like. I had an avocado and salmon roll, which was absolutely delicious. So fresh! I also had a tuna roll, which was so good! I'm so thankful the bartender talked me into the soft serve ice cream. It had a caramel flavor. It was absolutely to die for I could've licked the bowl. Both bartenders I sat and chatted with, and they were both so nice and attentive. I can't wait to return! read more

New spot in New York I thought that the happy hour was excellent. I especially loved the large portions of the fried chicken, the kimchi rice and the brussels sprouts I thought that the fried chicken could've used a little bit more better. I also thought that the alcohol could have been a bit stronger but for eight dollars you can't really complain. I would probably pass on the edamame dumplings since it was very filled with cheese; however, I thought that the baos were excellent. Overall, I thought that the happy hour was an excellent price, especially when drinks are only eight dollars. I would definitely come back for happy hour. read more

We chose Double Knot for our third anniversary dinner, and it couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone--intimate, stylish, and just right for a special occasion. The service was outstanding throughout the entire night: attentive, friendly, and seamless without ever feeling rushed. We started with drinks--the Butterfly Knot and the Pocket Knot (if I'm remembering correctly)--and both were excellent, beautifully crafted and a great way to kick off the evening. We then went for the tasting experience and got to try around 10 different dishes from the menu, which was absolutely the right choice. Every single dish impressed us. The beef was incredibly tender, the branzino was everything I hoped it would be, and the carpaccio, sushi, and other selections were all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly executed. You can really tell there's a lot of care and quality behind every plate. This is definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for amazing food and a memorable dining experience. It instantly became one of my new favorite places, and I can't wait to come back. read more

After a long day, those huge sofa-like booths were exactly what I needed for a business dinner. Service was great, and the food more than kept up: edamame and blistered shishito peppers to start, then broiled black cod, fried chicken, and mushroom fried rice. Everything was so delicious. read more

Food great. Way way way less snooty and affected than Philly location. But waitress knowingly had us order 3x the food we needed. We relied on her and trusted her and felt like we had been had. We would have ordered more food if we needed. She said 3-4 small plates per head -- NOOOO! Max 2 per and 1 side per and that's fine unless you're recently off a hunger strike. Or recently paroled from prison. You can always order more. Do NOT trust the wait staff. We over paid by 50 or more dollars and we didn't care about the money but yes very much about the waste. You can't really divide this type of left overs and we were headed to the theater so you can't be there with 3 lbs of kimchee fried rice in a bag. I'll go back but now I know how much to order for myself. Expensive and wasteful lesson. read more

We came here before a broadway show and it was excellent! our server was excellent and was very attentive to our time crunch. Double Knot is almost like a tapas style Japanese restaurant - small plates + a great sushi/roll/sashimi menu (sushi = nigiri also) with some larger entrees sprinkled in. Everything we had was great: wagyu soup dumplings, octopus skewers (Robatayaki), Japanese fried chicken, toro sushi (literally melted in my mouth), scallion roll, yellowtail roll. The vibes were great, low lighting, huge space, would be great for a big group as well! Might have to be our new go to pre theatre spot! read more

The Happy Hour menu was the reason Jennifer and I came here. Double Knot is newly opened and is located on West 51st Street. HH runs from 4 to 6 pm. On entering, the interior is fairly dark and looks romantic. There are two parts to this restaurant one of which is on the ground floor and the other in the lower ground floor. Both have the same menu and the one below is more quiet. The food selections are Asian with sushi, Japanese fried chicken, dumplings etc. Jen ordered the cauliflower with yuzu, kombu and cashews and the chili crisp chicken bao. I chose the grilled chicken thigh, the same bao and Brussels sprouts with puffed rice which though unusual gave it an extra crunchy bite. Jen's non alcoholic cocktail of rum and pineapple, The Baja Knot, was a tad sour so a helping of simple syrup worked wonders. The Carrick Hitch with n/a gin, lychee and Thai basil was delicious so much so that I would like to have it again. Both baos of the crisp chicken baos were hard and leathery. Considering that this is an Asian restaurant, it seems peculiar that this basic item was disappointing. Service was fine and unobtrusive. The restrooms are downstairs which one can go down three flights of stairs and then come back up via an elevator. read more

Very cool spot. Great people watching. Excellent food. Reasonable prices. Slightly confusing menu concept. Don't go here with picky or limited eaters. You get a huge tasting menu but all have to order the same thing. It's like ten courses but for the table. Big fan. I'd say 80% of the food was great and the rest was good. read more

Very good meal! I recently went to Double Knot and they have a great menu with lots of choices. Everything was delicious, the staff was helpful in making selections, and the space itself is really large. The upstairs is mostly small tables and the bar but downstairs there are even more tables and another bar. My friends and I did the tasting menu where you can choose from each menu subcategory and I felt like it was a great deal for the amount of food you get. read more

Double Knot NYC was an amazing experience!

Struggle for delicious dinner before or after catching a show is over. Walking into the place, first impressions do not give NYC aesthetic. However, every dish hit and felt elevated. Two people eating we had: Tuna Tartare, Hamachi Ceviche, Edamame Dumplings, Wagyu Soup Dumplings, Duck Scrapple Bao, Wagyu Bavette, and Mushroom Truffle Fried Rice. It was the perfect amount of food (didn't finish it all). Every bite was delicious. The highlight was the Wagyu Bavette with the MISO BUTTER. It was cooked perfectly, no knife needed. Our cocktails were delicious and original, too. Highly recommend if you are looking for a meal before the theatre! read more

Oyy this one was disappointing. Extreme lack of service for first 30 min of 6pm dinner. Took about 45 min to get a diet coke then it was flat. Service was overall inconsistent. The best thing was the skewers. Would actually skip the nigiri and hand rolls. The handroll the seaweed was super chewy, I actually had to spit it out. I could see coming for happy hour drinks and some light bites but it is not worth the price point to fully dine if it's on your dime! read more
