I came in strictly based off the reviews. How could I not? I ordered a seaweed salad and then an eel plate (roll and four nigiri). Probably the best eel I've ever had. The mackerel was okay and the sea urchin was typical - a little like boat rope, but not their fault as I'm trying to love this and it's just not clicking. It was quite creamy and felt fresh. The salmon roe was quite good. Service was prompt and kind, ambiance was a bit cluttered and disheveled, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Most NY restaurants have too little space. I concur with all the other reviews that this place is fresh and of good value. Check it out! read more

AMAZING..again! the bimbibap lunch was extraordinarily big and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and most importantly, there was a generous portion, in addition to the usual sides they give. Owner and service staff are friendly. Carry outs were more than the sit-downs. Great lunch spot. Also very clean and tidy. 10 stars!!!! Please continue to support your local businesses!! read more

Finding this location was kind of a hole in the wall, especially with all the scaffolding around the restaurant but there is a big sign for it! The service was good and the lady and the chef were so sweet. Our meals were served with the Korean side dishes, and I was so happy about this. We ordered a spicy pork bento box and two sushi rolls: sunshine and spicy tuna crunch. It ended up being a lot more food than we could comfortably finish. The sushi was tasty and the bento had a good amount of spicy pork and the sides (mandoo, California roll, spring tempura, salad) read more

Recently had takeout from them. I had passed them a few times and was curious. I guess it's Korean and Japanese fusion. I'd be interested in some of their Korean dishes. Anyway, my boyfriend's mom ordered some kind of crazy party platter. Personally, I think it's way too much money. I'd be more than happy with just 2 sushi rolls but it was a fun treat yo self moment. There was a decent variety but mostly limited to from what I can tell salmon, tuna, white tuna, and eel in both rolls and sashimi. But everything tasted super fresh. I'd definitely do it again but maybe with less sashimi and just rolls or go there in person. read more

We were looking for something nearby and found EJ BBQ Sushi based on their great reviews. We were a bit taken aback when we arrived at the front door as it's not fancy at all and the table was a bit sticky. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating - except when we were looking to get the check which took 15 minutes - not sure why, it wasn't crowded. The fried pork gyoza was good and so was the miso soup. Miso soup usually only comes with an entrée but they comped us a miso soup even though we ordered a la carte. We enjoyed the California roll, American sushi (special ordered tuna salmon yellowtail) and beef japchae. The portions and sushi quality were good. The beef on the japchae was very tasty and came with the usual comped Korean side dishes of spicy and pickled items. The mango mochi wasn't very good so we'd definitely skip that. It was affordable and a great choice for nearby FIT students (who will also get a discount). We would return if we were in the area and looking for affordable sushi but would not go out of way to return. read more

Came here on a whim for lunch on vacation and was not disappointed in the slightest. Enjoyed it so much we came back a second time on our 4 day trip. The ambiance was excellent, it is a quiet, cozy, and compact dinning room. We had no wait and there wasnt too many people there either time. The service is a true 10/10. EJ is friendly with diners and made us feel truly welcome and like he cared/was excited that we were there. My girlfriend was having a hard time with her chopsticks and EJ noticed and put together easy-to-use chopsticks to make things easier for her. Food is also top notch. I had the chicken katsu bento box for lunch and the katsu sauce was outstanding. Also the best ginger salad and miso soup I have ever had. Cannot recommend enough. read more

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit.
