    Shochu Highball
    Jennifer G.

    Quiet spot we happened to walk by. Food looked great, but we had stopped for something that is hard to find, an authentic Japanese highball. We chose a yuzu highball that was spot on to what we just recently had in Tokyo.

    I'd say it's a solid 3. Located near Ktown, across from the Rack, and next to the Path entrance, hard to miss it. We wanted a quick dinner and found this spot with decent reviews (mixed), so here we are... early bird as usual... made a ressie but didn't need it, plenty of seats available. We grabbed 3 counter seats. Ordered the 4 Handroll set, along with a side of chicken karaage, and a hamachi carpaccio. Lots of counter seating with a few sit down tables for parties of 4. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty clean aesthetic and clean bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fried chicken was good (juicy yet crispy), the hamachi was delish (silky smooth with a hint of tang). However the 4 hand rolls were lacking... perhaps it's my selection: spicy tuna (ok), yellow tail (mid), snow crab and blue crab (very fishy, it's a no). The filling to nori ratio was not great... 30/70... all you'll taste is nori. (Compared to DOMO... hand rolls were amazing & would trade). Service was fine. The chef was quiet. We were low maintenance. Had mocktails. Nothing fancy. Overall tho, probably wouldn't return.

    Green matcha beer

    Had 5:30 pm reservations. However, the place was empty except for a table of diners in back at sit down table. We chose to sit at the counter. We chose the 7 hand roll sushi each, shared the deluxe sashimi and karaage. The ingredients for the hand rolls were already pre-cut and the person preparing just loaded the nori with rice and the selected topping. A little disappointed. We thought we would see the sushi chef cut and custom prepare each hand roll sushi. We had a green matcha beer prior to the sushi and hot sake with. Everything tasted fresh and service was excellent.

    Came here on a saturday at noon, and there was no one there besides us, so walk ins are probably very feasible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very nice too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the lunch set, which was a really good deal. It was 4 handrolls and a half portion of yuba soba for $28. The fish was very fresh, but other than that, nothing about the sushi was super outstanding. My favorite was the scallop. The yellowtail and crunch spicy tuna were also pretty good. Overall, would recommend for the value if looking for some cheaper handrolls.

    The perfect sushi stop after a stroll along the west side. I randomly stumbled upon this spot while craving sushi and was a little hesitant to go in since it was right at the tail end of the lunch special, but they still kindly honored it for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I grabbed a seat at the bar and ended up having such a relaxing experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One thing I really appreciated was how attentive the chef was as he waited until I was almost done with each hand roll before preparing the next one, so every piece was fresh, crisp, and perfectly timed. The pacing made the meal feel thoughtful instead of rushed, and it turned a spontaneous sushi craving into such an enjoyable dining experience.

    Went for a quick bite on a Saturday evening, and it wasn't too busy! I ordered the 5-handroll set since I wasn't too hungry, but I will say the handrolls were a bit on the smaller side and I feel like the rice lacked flavor, so the soy sauce + wasabi were necessary! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cozy/comfortable ambiance, friendly staff, clean restroom, and they also have hooks for your jackets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer complimentary miso soup with your meal which is a plus!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, the ambience was nice and the servers were awesome (letting us stay late and not rushing us to leave), but the hand rolls were just okay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is nice and straightforward; I ordered the five piece hand roll set and a side of edamame which was great since we could eat edamame while waiting for each piece to come out (not that it took long since the chef timed them well based on when we finished eating each roll). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting at the bar is also nice since it's cozy and there's a good amount of space per guest so you're not super crammed in. Also, I appreciated that there were hooks under the bar for bags.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hand rolls themselves were fine, on their own they weren't too flavorful so I definitely had to dip them in soy sauce + wasabi. Payment is via Toast which made it handy for splitting bills and tapping your credit card to pay. I might return, but I do think KazuNori is still my favorite in Manhattan for hand rolls (but at least Handroll Bar Rolling has less of a wait!).

    Stopped by to try this place out with a friend, thought the food was just ok but pretty fun to wrap your own roll and they keep the seaweed dry by putting a plastic wrapper around and adding the fish on the top. A bit on the pricey though even with the lunch special. Good to try it once but probably won't be coming back. Not really that impressed with the food. Friendly staff and convenient location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty empty when i was there on a weekday/Friday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My husband and I did walk-in at 4:30 on a Friday night and we were the only customer, granted it was 4:30. I did look at Resy the day prior and they have reservations available every 15 minutes so I knew walking in wouldn't be a problem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was modern and cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upon walking in, we were warm greet with a smile and had the options of counter or table. If you choose counter, rolls come in a Handroll format. If you choose table, the rolls come in a temaki format, like a taco. We opted for counter so the rolls are served one by one. We got the 7 rolls set, 2 salmon avocado roll and yuba udon (fried tofu). The fish tasted fresh but the rice lacked flavor. To the point where my husband, who rarely uses wasabi and soy sauce, had to use it to give the rolls a little flavor.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Tashfia N.

    The best value hand roll spot without sacrificing quality. They have a lunch special for 4 hand rolls that you can customize, and it comes with miso soup, all for $26, $28 if you get it with the yuba udon option. I got the shrimp tempura, snow crab, vegan beef, and spicy crunchy tuna. The shrimp tempura roll was average, but the other 3 were amazing, my top being the tuna roll. The miso soup was also so good! Service was great, my server paid attention to when I'd finish my current roll before starting to prep my next roll. The yuba udon was also delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was very chic, lots of seating available at the bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be coming back here

    June 16, 2026, went to try this Japanese restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was fast and atmosphere was also good too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The quality of the food for sushi rolls were ok. I have had better. It was pretty pricey but what you expect in a tourist and expensive area. I had 6 Handroll Set , which included yellow tail, salmon, scallop, and snow crab which they charge you extra $4.00. As a business owner I am always traveling and trying different ethnic foods and give my opinion and ratings as a foodie.

    The other review that said they felt like they could make this themselves was 100% right. These were the most underwhelming hand rolls I have ever had in my entire life. The udon was warm and satisfying though.

    Handroll Bar Rolling in New York, NY. Nothing like a hand roll and a shochu highball cocktail! It's one of the best sushi hand roll spots! I love the assorted hand roll sets because you get a bite of everything. The shochu highball cocktails are super fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend the sashimi if you love fresh authentic sashimi! 6 Handroll Set Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Scallop, Crab, Crunch Spicy Tuna Sashimi - Salmon Sashimi - Tuna Beef Udon Chicken Karaage Shochu Highball - cocktail Yuzu | Peach | Lavender | Blood Orange | Moscow Mule | Calpico

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!
