The place was intimate and clean. The sushi bar was open for us to watch them make the rolls. The server was kind and fast with anything we needed. The sushi was so fresh and delicious.

Went to Gosuke for brunch and had a solid meal. We were there when they first opened on an a late Saturday morning and it was quiet. (The restaurant is also a little hidden inside a hotel) Had the House Salad, Katsu Don, Salmon Don and Gosuke Ramen - no complaints! read more

Great service and good food in this hotel sushi restaurant. Stopped by right be a Knicks game and it's only 2 blocks away and plenty of space inside. Fast friendly service. Had fired oysters which were a bit too breaded, fried squid which was good, fried chicken was ok but cut in chunks and not typically as tender and juicy as others we have had. The sushi platter was great, miso soup was good and also had the soba noodles which were good as well. This is a great choice if in the neighborhood. read more

Absolutely incredible food here! The ambience is gorgeous too. Very chic and service was impeccable. My coworkers and I came here for lunch. It was a little pricey but for the portion and quality we were well-pleased. I ordered the udon combination which came with tempura and a little chirashi style bowl. The fish was super fresh and great quality. The tempura was crisp and juicy; perfect coating on it. We just wished there was dipping sauce for them, but we were told that they were supposed to go in the soup. We ate them with a little soy sauce instead. The soup was also delightful-- super flavorful and warming on a chilly winter day. I absolutely cannot wait to return here on my next business trip to the city. read more

The food was great, and the staff were really friendly. We went with our 1‑ and 3‑year‑olds, and it was nice to see a variety of Japanese dishes -- some with mild flavors perfect for kids, and others that were more authentic for adults to enjoy. We had such a good time. read more

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Have been to this restaurant four times. Went last night for dinner and sat at the sushi bar. Zero interaction with sushi chefs. Ordered sashimi platter. Very small, very expensive and really not good!!!! we used to look forward to this dinner when visiting New York. Will not be back! read more

Hidden spot near 34 and Penn that serves sushi and tempura. I definitely enjoyed my food however would not say this is the best sushi around. I ordered the chef choice and it came with miso soup. Unfortunately, the temperature of the soup was scalding, maybe a new batch? It is not ideal for drinking. The sushi is very fresh but the rice is just to grainy and falls off easily leaving a stale chewy taste. May have to come back and try other dishes! I enjoyed the service and definitely reasonable pricing but wouldn't say its the best! read more

You'll see people willing to wait rather than go elsewhere. The service quality and menu variety are outstanding. The energy feels right, staff is helpful, and the look is clean.

Do you like hole-in-the-wall sushi joints? Then don't tell anyone you read this review and just show up. I only noticed Gosuke because I happened to spend a lot of time in the area for a while and saw the little sign. This is the kind of affordably, good-quality sushi restaurant that Manhattan south of Central Park is sorely lacking. The menu is a mixture of tried-and-true staples and creative inventions. Start with the tasty Saba Tatsuta (fried mackerel bites) to get your fish palate working. The Salmon Mori (in ngiri form) is an ode to the fish that Scandinavians introduced to Japan al those years ago. The Tuna Crispy Rice--while not my favorite--was still crunchy and delectable. We had a roll with green soy paper whose name I forget, but it was bursting with fresh fish. And the Salmon Avocado Roll with rice crunch was generously portioned and hit the spot. We also got the Cream Puff Tempura for something sweet and did not regret the mixture of fried flour and Japanese "not too sweet" cream. Gosuke isn't here to be featured on Netflix, but it might just remind you of your favorite neighborhood spots in Shibuya. read more

The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was very friendly. I'd definitely come back again.

We were in the mood for sushi after the gym and found this place on Yelp. We got the sashimi matsu and the chef special tempura to share. The service was a bit slow - we sat by the sushi counter but could only place orders with the server. The quality of the sashimi was good. However, we were slightly surprised by the number of pieces presented for the set. The menu stated around 30 pieces, but we only counted 25. When we mentioned this to the server, she checked with the sushi chef, and we got a few more pieces. While it worked out in the end, we felt like we were begging for additional pieces and had to show them the picture I took before eating. I wish this incident had never happened so that I would want to return for the same dish. The tempura was very crunchy, and it reminded me of the quality I had in Tokyo. I highly recommend the tempura. read more

Came here recently for dinner. Got the chef's choice sushi dinner. I asked for specifically for no salmon or uni as those aren't my favorite. The sushi was fresh but on my third piece, I had a mouth and throat full of bones. Thankfully I was okay but I was honestly uncomfortable eating any more. I called the waiter over and he didn't seem concerned at all. Didn't care that it was bad brought me my check with the full meal on it. I was with a friend that was still eating so it was very awkward. She quickly finished and we left. Will not be coming back. read more

Gosuke - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I enjoyed my experience here. It's odd but this place reminds me of some of my favorite old Japanese restaurants that I used to frequent in Manhattan before they inevitably closed over the years. When I say "used to frequent" I'm talking about those mid-range places that aren't cheap hole in the walls or little ramen/izakaya type joints or high-end expensive places with uber expensive sushi or omakases. This place was tucked inside a hotel and I grabbed a seat at the sushi bar. The sushi I had (tekka and negitoro rolls) were are very good. The flavor was spot on and the fish tasted fresh. The latter was enjoyable enough that I ordered a second helping of it. I had a basic salad as my appetizer and it was pretty straightforward. I also enjoyed an order of the tonkatsu. It was fine, there was nothing particularly memorable about it but it still tasted fairly good. Above average in all respects in terms of the meat quality etc. The service here was fine, it was a little slow at first but it picked up later on. The guys at the sushi bar were friendly and efficient. I just like the fact there is such a place that's close by to Madison Square Garden. It was a good option to hit up before the concert I went to and I'd do it again the next time I'm here for a show or game. read more

This is a good little sushi/sashimi spot located in the Henn Na Hotel. I was here with a bunch of others last night as part of a meetup. The woman running it highly recommended this place as an authentic sushi and sashimi place and I can see very easily why she did. For the price, this was one of the best Omakase experiences I have had in the city. The service was pleasant; accommodating food allergies from the variety of people and giving good suggestions. Outside of the omakase I ordered (as well as two others,) other people shared a variety of dishes and overall everyone liked what they ordered. As I had a course menu, only two of the appetizers are being listed as highlights: Saba tatsua-age/さば 竜田揚げ: Deep fried mackerel. I ordered this as an appetizer and it was part of a special menu. This was very tasting being a light fry which perfectly accentuated the fish quality. Bakudan/ばくだん丼: Assorted sashimi along with natto/納豆 or fermented soy bean. This is a rare type of donburi not commonly found in the US with the closest thing being the bara chirashi you find in a few other places. Couldn't have much as I'm allergic to octopus but the person loved it as did everyone else. I believe it was $20 which is reasonable for the quality of the fish. I decided to go with the sashimi omakase which is unique as usually I only see it sushi style. It came out to $90 for a whole lot of fish though there are bunch of cheaper sashimi/sushi options including one for I believe 35 or 40 which included just the sashimi (though unsure if it would be the exact selection I got as I have a squid/octopus/ clam allergy) which would be also very filling. Course 1: Vegetables. Kinpira gobo/braised burdock root/きんぴらごぼう dusted with shichimi pepper and another braised starch with ginger and soy sauce. The former was fantastic with a nice twist from the pepper. I'm unsure what the latter starch was (perhaps potato) but it was also comforting and tasty. Course 2: Chawanmushi /茶碗蒸し or steamed savory egg custard with mushroom and shrimp. This was a tasty variant though I have had better in other places. Perfectly reasonable but I prefer a more fish flavored variant. Still good with delicate mushrooms and bouncy shrimp. Course 3: Assorted sashimi. For the sushi folks, it came out a few at a time while for me, it came out as one big plate which was surprising. There were a whole lot of pieces. Along with some gari/ginger, wasabi, and crunchy tasty kelp/wakame, the dish came with: Kanpachi/間八 (greater amberjack:) They were all good but this was outstanding. Fantastic texture and flavor. Chutoro/中とろ (medium fatty tuna:) Tasty but I have better but perfectly reasonable for the price. Maguro/鮪 (regular tuna:) This was alright. I have had better but there some tuna specialists in the city. Sake /鮭 (salmon:) Good salmon. Nicely fresh with a good texture. Hirame / 平目 (fluke:) Good fluke as well. Good texture. Course 4: Miso soup (well normally.) This was the only slip-up of the kitchen. The others got the same but with a large shrimp head or alternatively a fried shrimp but they misread the allergy. The soup was good and the little bit of shrimp I tried was very good. Course 5: Ice cream served with sweet potato, chestnut, and red bean. This was different than other places and perfectly fine. In terms of ice cream it was good with the syrup being a highlight. If ice cream is the last course, I prefer a monaka like in other spots but it was good. Other people's sushi omakase included a fantastic looking scallop, a big piece of anago/saltwater eel, uni, and a tuna hand roll. Said people also loved their dishes as well. The only other dish to mention was grilled squid which they liked, gyoza (which I didn't try,) and tatsua-age/fried chicken which was good. Overall the food was outstanding with particularly good sashimi. The price was high but for the quality, I haven't found better omakase. i would go back for their sashimi platter. Upper 4 for the sashimi quality in particular. read more

Without a doubt the best meal I have had in New York of any kind. I probably walked by this spot two dozen times and looked at the sign and kept moving; I am ashamed and will pay my penance by going back again. Quite a small place, neat interior and the main stage is the MasterChef behind the bar. Go for the Omasake dinner and take a seat and let him do his magic. I'm not going to bore you with all kinds of descriptions and just let the pictures try and convey what my palette was tasting. Quite frankly get your butt into the seat at the bar pay attention to how he's preparing your one bite sushi dinner that just never seems to end and enjoy it. I thought I had sea urchin previously and I was all wrong. This. This was sea urchin the way it was supposed to be plated and served. It's quite an epic journey and not sure whether I can really have sushi without flashing back to this meal and experience. And now the chase begins to find something better than this but until then this is my North Star meal. read more

TLDR: Gosuke is an authentic Japanese sushi bar, a rarity in this area of the city. Very reasonable lunch sets. I passed by the Gosuke signage while grabbing lunch the other day. They were closed on Monday so I made it a plan to come back. Glad I did. Gosuke is located im the Henn Na hotel, which is a hotel group from Japan. There is a cool dinosaur in the lobby to check out. We sat at the bar and went with the Sushi Joh, 8 pieces of nigiri, a cut roll and a miso soup. Chef was kind enough to serve each piece individually and was very friendly. We also go a sashimi plate to share. Excellent fish, much was imported from Japan. If you've been debating whether or not to try it, give it a shot. It was a great lunch with excellent food and wonderful service. This will definitely be in my rotation. read more

Gosuke is a nice new sushi restaurant located inside the Henn Na hotel at 235 W 35th Street, roughly halfway between Penn Station and Herald Square. Last night my girlfriend and I were immediately seated and quickly made selections from the menu, opting for one sushi dinner and one sashimi dinner. Two cups of miso soup were swiftly consumed, then the sashimi arrived. The sushi chef was kind enough to accommodate my shellfish allergy. The selections were standard fare, nicely sliced, great flavors. I was particularly impressed with the fatty tuna. Next, the sushi. More cuts of tuna, salmon, etc. The unagi was a standout, and I really liked the accompanying yellowtail scallion roll. We also shared a toro taku roll, chopped tuna with pickled radish, which was interesting and helped fill our bellies. Overall, we had a good time at Gosuke. The fish was very fresh and we got our money's worth. The menu is in Japanese which makes it a little difficult to distinguish what comes in the various sushi dinners; a server may be able to explain it better. Hotel guests get 20% off their first visit. read more

We enjoyed everything about our Christmas Eve dinner at Gosuke!!! The food was incredible - delicious, refined and beautifully presented. I strongly agree with other reviewers who commented that Gosuke accomplishes a special kind of flavor and quality that's really hard to find in Japanese restaurants here in the US. Many times throughout the meal, I took a bite or a sip and was transported back to Japan - yes, it was that good! Kaki fry and chicken wings arrived hot and crispy, the chawanmushi was exquisitely warm and comforting. Hamachikama was a treasure - savory, mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Sashimi omakase was delightful, a stunning feast for the eyes that delivered on flavor, expertly garnished and seasoned with ume sauce, yuzu kosho, fresh shiso leaves and other lovely surprises. The special Nagoya-style unagi blew us away - I'm already dreaming of the next time we visit so I can order it again!!! All paired with an incredibly delicious and well-described selection of drinks (including special Suntory beer, Aladdin nigori sake, and even sparkling sake), we were completely happy and satisfied. The servers and front of house staff were so kind and genuinely hospitable - thanks to their expert care, we felt able to fully relax and savor our evening. Thank you so much to your amazingly talented sushi chefs and kitchen staff for creating an unforgettable, truly magical Christmas Eve meal! Mina-san, hontou ni gochisousama deshita!!! read more

For those of you who are new here: the ONLY place I want to get to when I can manage a few days off is NYC. I ALWAYS stay at The Moxy Times Square, which is actually right in the middle of The Garment District, which is SO UNLIKE anything that existed here back when I was coming up, in The Actual Day, in the 70s and 80s. Today's Garment District? Amazing. Fabulous. All. The. Things! Also? I am here for Omakase, in all its iterations and Manhattan is the Capital of The Entire World for Omakase. I know what I'm talking about if we're going to talk sushi or Omakase or Japanese cuisine. I stay at The Moxy on W 36th St and I always take the late bus back to Vermont so I can get in the most leisurely of leisurely lunches before attempting to sleep the entire 6 hrs trip north... The thing "post Covid" is that there is an ENDLESS number of super high quality Omakase spots in Midtown. And I have been on a personal mission to try most of them. I've got my contacts, in the Omakase Community. But I also like to peruse Yelp for suggestions and that is how I found Gosuke. Because I wanted something new and delicious and CLOSE to the hotel. Gosuke showed up in my Yelp search, but I didn't see any Omakase on their menu. What I did see was a full, traditional Japanese menu and I was kind of psyched for that. And it is on West 35th street. I'm going to guess the entire walk from The Moxy is one block. I am SO EXCITED I found this place!! Gosuke is located inside the Henn Na Hotel. Which is a Japanese chain known for robot housekeepers...??? But also there is a fully animatronic T Rex in the lobby. AMAZING. The lobby is small and the entrance to Gosuke is just to the left past the front desk. Sushi restaurants come in all sorts of "types." Gosuke is an actual Japanese restaurant with sushi and Omakase and full bar and Japanese staff and owner. IN FACT, the owner of Gosuke is Itsuke Yamasaki. A woman That right there is HIGHLY unusual, to find a Japanese woman owning a Japanese restaurant/sushi/omakase spot. The Patriarchy is STRONG in Japan and you can see it in Japanese restaurants in NYC, because it's hard for women to break into the industry. On any level. I am HERE to support EVERY SINGLE WOMAN out there owning/operating an independent restaurant. I mean I'm one of them. The work is IMPORTANT and it is HARD. There's something else about Itsuke. She is a retired professional wrestler. I'm not even kidding. Itsuke came to the US and wrestled for the WWF. Which. Is. So. Cool!!!!!!! OMG. HARDCORE. So there's that. The fact that I would try to support Itsuke Yamasaki and Gosuke just because. But I didn't actually know any of that until I was WELL into my meal/visit. It was like the most amazing icing to the cake that was Gosuke. I sat at the sushi bar. I discovered on the menu (which is EXTENSIVE, since they're hitting all the traditional Japanese stuff) that there IS Omakase. A smaller and a larger. Obviously I ordered the larger Omakase and a bottle of excellent Sake (they have a very good selection!). Conveniently Wendy hauled her luggage over to share some sake with me before she got on the early bus (ALWAYS take the late bus!!). The Omakase is very traditional and excellent quality. The standouts are the first, sashimi course (large, beautifully fresh) and the dessert; which, honestly, was the best Omakase dessert I think I've ever had: vanilla ice cream with red beans and chestnuts. WONDERFUL! Of course I was not done with just the large Omakase, I ate a few more things after that! I had to get Uni Pon (Uni, quail yolk, pnzu) because it's pretty much ALL the things I LOVE and all the umami!! I ordered a "Salmon Flight." One piece each nigiri of each Salmon on the menu. Beautiful. Delicious. Then! I ordered the crispy rice, which I had watched them make earlier. A good crispy rice "roll" is really wonderful. And this one is PERFECTION! The rice is perfectly crispy/crunchy and flavorful as your base and then topped with chopped salmon, paper thin slices of jalapeño and just enough sauce. I WILL be eating this again... Honestly I can't wait until I can get back to Gosuke on my next NYC visit. My only question is: will I eat there once or twice that week?? read more

We accidentally stumbled upon this place and really enjoyed it. The flavors of the foods could be slightly more enhanced, but I love the overall fresh taste and authenticity since the owners and workers are Japanese as well. The miso soup was really and their pork bento was amazing as well. They kind of gave us more rice than meat, so we ended up wasting the rice. read more

I was expecting more for a first-time omakase experience, but it fell short in taste and ambiance--however still a solid spot for sushi/sashimi. We went on a Friday night with a reservation at 7 pm and probably because it was raining, the place was fairly empty. There were 8 seats at the sushi bar, seats by the bar, and a few tables spread out between. Me and my brother got the sushi omakase while my mom got the sashimi omakase. Didn't realize the sashimi would just be all served in one big tray unlike the sushi omakase where the chef serves it piece by piece. Overall, the food was great. The stand-out pieces were uni (how to not love, my absolute favorite from the sweetness), the handroll that was served last (had some really juicy tuna cubes), and this white fish piece with fish skin still on it (the sea salt really enhanced the flavor). Also if you don't like wasabi, best to mention it ahead of time when ordering because they add it in the wasabi by default. The servers were fantastic. They were swift in removing empty places, filling up tea, and kind in explaining. The main reason for the star-off was the inconsistent serving speed. It took a really long time after the appetizers and chawanmushi (egg custard) for the actual mains to come. I'm aware omakase is on the slower pace but I'm literally sitting in front of the chef watching him talk like 90% of the time to another Japanese customer on the side. He can have his fun but can I get food please... (He seems like a great guy don't get me wrong) read more

A small gem of family-run small businesses. The staff were exceptionally friendly. We were hosted directly by the very enthusiastic owner which is a rare privilege to have. The food was fantastic. I don't know how authentic it is, but most of the patrons were (of) Japanese (heritage) so I guess it is. As I am clueless with chopsticks, I was provided silverware and wasn't frown upon for that. Sushi is hand made from fresh ingridents right before the cutomers' eyes and it looks fantastic. read more

Great vibe going into the restaurant. Servers were very accommodating. Went there for a weekend dinner. It was packed. I got the deluxe Sushi Joh set - it took them quite a long time to place the order but the food itself was very yummy. Sushi was fresh and with good selections. My partner ordered the sukiyaki set which was a bit disappointing- the beef used was overcooked and not fatty enough. The onsen egg was a bit too cooked also.
