    Snow Crab Hand Roll
    Jenny N.

    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! Really cozy/comfortable ambiance, friendly staff, clean restroom, and they also have hooks for your jackets. They offer complimentary miso soup with your meal which is a plus!

    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. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ended up having such a relaxing experience. 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.

    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. Pretty empty when i was there on a weekday/Friday afternoon.

    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. The interior was very chic, lots of seating available at the bar area. I will definitely be coming back here

    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. 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). 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. 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!).

    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. The decor was modern and cute. 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.

    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

    Tbh, I was debating between this handroll spot and the one in Chelsea called kazunori. After waiting on the line at the other place, I decided to go here since there were seats and no line. I really needed to use a restroom too which was key. From the moment you walk inside the service was great and everything was very clean. Even the restroom was clean and the bidet inside of it was nice. This place is perfect for solo diners as I saw others by themselves as well. Regarding the food, I decided on getting the five handroll set. The different handrolls that I decided on were: the scallop, yellowtail, crab, spicy salmon, and tuna set. I also ordered the yuba udon which is fried tofu. I really wanted a soup and noodles were a plus. Everything was fresh but portion sized I still wanted more fish and rolls. The ambiance and food were good, but the portion size and price point wasn't that great.

    we got the lunch set, which was $28 a person (if i remember correctly) and came with 4 handrolls and a small bowl of udon. their shochu highball is $13 regularly and they have good happy hour deals as well. overall, good for the price, nothing crazy fancy but nice service and vibe.

    Decent enough hand roll restaurant. We went for the lunch special, which was decently priced (4 hand rolls and a small udon for about $30), but we were the only lone customers the entire time, which was rather eerie. The hand rolls were just so-so; the fish seemed fresh and they don't skimp on portions, but my biggest complaint was that they overused seaweed. It was rather tough to eat the hand rolls due to that, and while the seaweed wasn't stale or anything, it was almost chewy, making for a rather unpleasant experience. The staff were helpful but quiet, so combined with the fact that we were the only customers, the entire atmosphere was a little odd.

    Lunch Combo: 4 Handroll Set & Yuba Udon.
    Cindy Z.

    I saw a deal for their lunch special, so my friend and I came here for a Friday lunch. This includes 4 handrolls and a yuba udon for $28. The handrolls included tuna, spicy salmon, yellowtail, and crab. The portions are a bit small and didn't filly fill up the seaweed, but it was still good. The fish are freshly minced up for an easy bite although I know many complain that the crab is shredded imitation crab (but not a big deal for me). I like that the combo comes with the udon, which helps make you full. The udon is silky and broth is heartwarming and clean, especially on a cold day. The entire meal wasn't anything too special, but it's a pretty good lunch deal when you're in the area if you're not looking for something more than just handrolls. I thought the personal mini soy sauces were adorable and loved all the dinnerware. Note: if you want to get your handrolls altogether and presentedly nicely, get a table. Otherwise, you're served the rolls rolled up one by one at the counter.

    I've been here twice now and usually show up around 2-3pm when there are not many people around. I was surprised to see they have lunch specials! Both times I've been here I've had such great experiences. All of the hand rolls are delicious. My favorites are the scallop, crab, salmon. Their soup and noodles are really good too. The portions are perfect. The service is always great and everyone is kind and professional. Love the ambiance it's quiet every time I go there. It's super clean, bright inside, spacious. I look forward to coming back

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.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces.

To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.
