    My sister loves this place. She visited them multiple times in one week and said she thought of me lol. She eventually got some for me and despite the long travel, it was the freshest poke I have ever had in NY thus far. The price is just like any other poke spot but the quality is 100x better. They are very generous with the portions and the salmon is super fresh. I wish they were closer to me so I can get some more often. Highly recommended!

    Oh my gosh one of the best poke bowls I ever had it was so tasty and they totally filled up my bowl. Everything was fresh and the place looked very clean.

    Not great poke. The ratio of rice to toppings was not good. Too much toppings with almost no rice. I liked the shrimp tempura. The sauce wasn't very flavorful. Just wasn't impressed overall. Nice worker and a good amount of seating inside.

    DELICIOUS. the fish was so good, and the girl that made my bowl was so sweet and helpful. it was my first time ever having poke, so i didn't know what to put at all. she was very patient (i took a while to decide everything LOL). the restaurant was very small, but you could do dine-in or take-out. my dad and i sat and ate, and it was a cute environment with a few college students. overall loved it! great first poke experience

    Impressive crunchy lineup

    A clean poké joint tucked into the quiet stretch of Amsterdam Ave facing St. John the Divine. Prices are reasonable but you should definitely treat yo'self to the three-protein option as fish is doled out in war rations. They toss cubed fish with your salad greens and choice of mix-ins and sauce (at least for the salad option), which is great so you don't have sad, undressed salad at the bottom of your bowl. They'll add the minced, marinated fish on top if you choose one of those options. Unlimited mix-ins, toppings and crunchies (save for a few premium items) are free. Service is competent and efficient. Makes for a great healthy lunch option!

    Hula Poke hits the spot! I've ordered their poke a couple times to-go before the pandemic, but since they've reopened they have a table at the front of the restaurant where they hand you your orders. I've tried a few of their bowls but I like the create your own option! Sometimes at other poke places the flavors don't pair well together, but even if you add a lot of random add-one, the bowls are still really good! The fish is always fresh too. I'd recommend Hula Poke!

    For someone that is super picky with food, and is health-conscious, I'm surprised that I've gone so long without trying Poke. Well, one evening I decided it was time to try it out. I searched on my UberEats app, and found Hula Poke to be a good option. I ordered the Samurai Poke, with three scoop of salmon slices over a bed of brown rice and vegetables. The meal was amazingly good. The dressing they used added a ton of flavor, and the salmon portion was decent. I was left both satisfied and impressed by this meal. Poke is now in my radar. The next time I am looking for a light and delicious meal, I will give Hula Poke another go.

    This is hands down my favorite EVER poke place in NYC (and probably anywhere else). You get so many toppings to choose from, the proteins are super fresh, and the rice is sooo delicious. My go-to order is: white rice, 1 ahi tuna, 1 salmon, edamame, avocado, green onions, pickled ginger, pickled daikon and jalapeno crisps. For the sauce, get the Hawaiian Classic. It's the perfect sweet, but not too sweet, fresh concoction. I definitely recommend NOT getting the spicy proteins because they're mashed up and, just, *texture issues*. If you're ever on the UWS, go to Hula Poke!!!! Let me know your thoughts.

    barely any salmon or tuna -what you see at the top and bottom right thats it... i moved it aroubd looking for more.

    I ordered a make your own bowl via uber eats. There is next to NO Salmon or tuna here but an obscene amount of edamame. I ordered a poke bowl not steamed edamame. They also left off the classic house dressing - so it's all just dry. Not my fave but I guess it will do in a pinch

    I actually stumbled by this place, and was really quite surprised that it was pretty good. There was ample seating, and the staff were very helpful and nice. I get pretty stressed out about ordering when there are SO many options, and Hula Poke was no exception. So I was extremely grateful that the staff were patient. When we got our food, we found the fish to be fresh and the sauces to be pretty good. I got the tuna and the salmon, and I panicked and ordered all the toppings so I wouldn't have to select each one separately. Anyway, pretty great poke and reasonable prices, and I'm pretty satisfied I stumbled upon this place!

    Sushi burrito
    Cynthia P.

    After church, I was starving. I saw the poster of a sushi burrito. I was intrigued, so I stopped by this spot. ATMOSPHERE It's a very clean restaurant. This is a pretty much no frills spot with tables and chairs reminiscent of an upscale fast food spot. I saw people of all ages here: from toddlers to seniors. FOOD While I was there, most customers ordered the bowl. I ordered what I caught my eye in the first place: sushi burrito. I had it with raw fish for the sushi effect. But for a tropical craving that creeped up, I added mango. You can order an unlimited number of fillings, which is a blessing and a curse. Unlimited anything is amazing to make it your own. But sometimes I just want to point to a menu, and simply say "I want this one." For those days of indecisiveness, I recommend that this eatery list a few suggested topping combinations.

    I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. 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.

    Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

    After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!!

It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here!

    This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve…read morefood, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
