    Salmon teriyaki bento box; eel cucumber roll
    Gwendolyn C.

    [Takeout Review] Food: 4/5 | Service: N/A | Experience: N/A Great takeout/delivery spot for affordable sushi rolls and bento boxes! I have ordered from here a few times and enjoy their consistency as well as the great price. I would not expect super high quality compared to some of the other takeout sushi spots, but for the value this place is great. What I ordered: * eel cucumber roll * salmon bento box with california roll Things to know: * great for take out; have not eaten at the restaurant before * fairly mediocre, but great value

    Teriyaki chicken
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed the lunch bento boxes here! The teriyaki chicken was not bad, though I would have preferred the chicken to be in slices instead of chunks. The chicken katsu was really good! It's tender and fried well, and served on top of a bed of rice. The side salad was not bad, with a giant slice of fresh tomato on top. I loved the california rolls here, as well as the miso soup!

    Dragon Egg

    It was alright. I usually order from Isohama, so I have a high standard. I ordered the Tokyo Chicken bento set. Fire Island roll and the Dragon Egg. The Dragon Egg is lobster meat with shrimp mixed in, all wrapped in avocado. It's decadent, and is much better mixed with rice. By itself it's kind of a disaster. It didn't taste like much either, I would skip it. The Tokyo Fried Chicken set was soggy. And smaller than the usual bento sets from sushi places. The chicken was seasoned well. Shumai is delightful but very hard to screw up hahha. Bento didn't come with miso. The Fire Island roll was very hard to eat -- overwhelming smoky taste that ruined the flavour of the roll. Not my cup of tea. Service was quick and friendly, I will try again maybe it's just what I ordered. But meh overall

    Food and delivery service were outstanding. The delivery (ordered Thru seamless) arrived in much less time than estimated, which was a pleasant surprise, and the delivery person was upbeat and positive, giving a big thank you as he dropped off my food. Food: Everything was delicious. - Dinosaur egg. A perfect little treasure. Every once in a while you get a special food that I think of as a little food treasure, looking like a beautifully packaged gift, with every bite being a delicious, flavor bursting treat. This was one of those treasures I will absolutely order again. Spicy shrimp wrapped with avocado and topped with pretty red roe. - Sushi deluxe platter. This came with a well presented, assorted mix of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, shrimp and eel sushi, plus a roll. All of the sushi was excellent. - Lobster roll. Very good. - Gyoza (dumplings). My son's favorite, and he liked them. Definitely recommend for fantastic sushi and prompt, friendly delivery service.

    Hanabi is my go to for take out and delivery sushi in the upper east side! My favorite items include the gyoza, cucumber roll and some of the many different combos they have. I really enjoy the sushi platter. Their delivery always comes quickly and very neatly packed.

    I stopped by because I was craving sushi and did not want bar food my friends were eating during football Sunday next door. Hanabi looked clean, so I walked in and ordered two salmon avocado rolls. The lady behind the counter processed my order and I took a seat. The sushi chef went right to work and made my rolls super quick. I was eating in less than 10 minutes. The salmon avocado rolls were fresh and the fish to rice ratio was proportional. I was surprised by how fresh the fish was! Compared to other quick sushi spots in the city, this place definitely is ranked up there. Everyone was friendly and service was great!

    Seaweed Salad
    Pallabi M.

    Such a great lowkey normal sushi spot in NYC. All of the rolls were fresh and priced reasonably. I ordered the salmon avocado, white tuna avocado, spicy crunchy crab, and eel avocado rolls with a side of spicy mayo. I also got seaweed salad but it was kind of cold and tasted kind of frozen even. However the rolls were spot on.

    This is a go to place for unpretentious, no frills sushi. The thing with sushi in NYC is that the cheaper ones tend to use old/low quality fish and the "high end" ones tend to be overpriced and not really appropriate if you're just having those "sushi craving" moments. For $18.50 you can get a deluxe sushi platter and for $12.95 you can get a chicken teriyaki Bento, cheaper than most of the sushi places in UES while the fish is still relatively fresh. They pack their orders nicely for transportation/delivery.

    I so love eating a tasty box! I mean, how can a man resist when a tasty box is thrown his way for only $9? Granted, this ain't no fancy box at all. Kind of a bare bones Japanese joint. Very fast foodie looking, with only a few tables and chairs, and no real decor to speak of. When I was here chowing down on my box today they had country music playing. No, really. That being said, it seems everything is cheap here. Food came out fast. It was edible. Good portion that was just right for lunch. Came with soup or soda. As I wrapped my lips around this box I also realized it was on a paper plate and not in the traditional bento box. No biggie but I do prefer a real box. Overall, it's ok here if you're not expecting anything amazing. Sometimes a man has a hard time passing up a cheap box!

    Salmon Teriyaki and California Roll Bento Box
    Lourdes C.

    I ordered delivery through Seamless and my food came not too quick to where you're worried it wasn't fresh but it came at just the right amount of time. Very fairly priced. The salmon bento lunch special was around $12 not bad at all. It was so delicious I ate it so fast and forgot to take a first pic hahah. Can't wait to try their sushi! This salmon was bomb. California roll tasted very fresh. I wi be ordering again soon!

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. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

Now, having said that although the food was decent, there were a couple of questionable choices in the overall presentation and plating and the sauces that accompany the black cod bento box I ordered, which did not actually come in a box. Everything is brought out piecemeal so you don't get an actual meal before you, but a lot of little plates brought out at different times, kinda like the Japanese equivalent of Tapas. We have been to this location twice, hoping the first time was a fluke, and trying to give them a chance only for the second time to be worse. The waitstaff is entirely disengaged from the customers. They rush you through the order process and don't explain any of the menu offerings, such as what is the difference between the different platter options. When they do come over, you are greeted with the sweetness and warmth of an unemotionally flat "What do you want?" After you get your food, no one comes over to refill water and cups are initially filled halfway with too much ice. No one comes over to remove plates afterward, and they definitely show no interest in finding out if you are enjoying your meal in the least. The booth we were sat at had not been cleaned after the last party's use so there was sauce all over, and it got on the back of my pants, which I later discovered while walking home...the joy. After eating comes the best part, they come over with these tablets outlining your check on the screen. Meanwhile, the tablets are strapped to their bodies the entire time. They don't allow you to scrutinize the charges in peace, no, they stand there impatiently for the duration either swerving from side to side of tapping their foot signaling discomfort that you're taking way too long. The funny part is the straps have clips to remove the tablets so it's not like it's impossible to leave the tablet and come back shortly. The whole process feels very rushed and pressurized for you to tip with one of the predetermined button selections, which start at 25%. Ummm, service sucked so no, we're definitely NOT starting there. I guess now we're both disappointed. Eventually, you get no paper receipt for your records even if you ask for it to be printed. And the whole time, the waitstaff is with you judging you on your tipping and not even being graceful enough to restrain their reaction. So no, not going back, and definitely would not recommend as a place to have a good time. Now, if you're looking for an uncomfortable experience served by someone that completely ignores you during your entire time there and expects an exorbitant tip to boot, then yes, this is the place for you!
