    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
    Tessie V.

    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!

    California roll and Philadelphia Roll
    Steph S.

    We ordered delivery, and it was packaged nicely. The food traveled well and even looked lovely after its ride to us. We got an order of each gyoza, California roll, Philadelphia roll, chicken pad Thai, sweet 16 roll, and rainbow roll. Food tasted pretty good.

There was a short wait, but from what I could see, a variety of tables here and seating. Not the biggest place, dark, intimate, wood accents and small spotlights over tables. We ordered buns and spicy edamame to start. It seemed like we had just ordered when the food came out. Love that. Buns were incredibly good - a close second to a joint in Chicago we ate at last weekend. Succulent meat, plenty of sauce, and just the usual pillowy bun. The edamame didn't seem spicy at first - then my face melted. Still good but a deep burning spiciness to them as advertised. For my entree I got the beef miso ramen, adding corn and an egg. The corn wasn't just a pile of kernels - but a side slice of a cob. Cool presentation. Beef was good and the broth soothed my soul. Top 10 ramen places I've been - well done.

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.
