    Small Sushi shop with wide varieties of sushi and Sashimi made to order. Been ordering from here for the past few months, each time the rolls and appetizers were fresh and tasty. Price is decent for the rolls and combo meals. Their specialty are the Sushi/Sashimi tray platters that offers the best bang for the buck. This place is small and dine-in is basically for very small group. Order for pick-up was easy and quick, staff was friendly on each of my visits.

    California roll and shrimp tempura sushi
    Gilda Lynn P.

    I'm very basic with my sushi.. i really only like California roll, shrimp tempura and spicy tuna but i always have to go to a Japanese place and do the whole dinner to get those but now i don't have to after stumbling into this place. Very happy and my order was delicious. My sister asked me to get the party platter the next time she comes visit so will definitely do that.

    The new spot opened near my job. It's a small little spot with limited seats. The menu is huge and I think the prices are really good. The combo menu is really worth it for a get together. I don't eat much raw fish so I can't really judge sushi. I'm really basic!! I ordered all cooked stuff just to try. I got the; Lobster salad avocado Peanut avocado American dream roll. Rice to filling ratio is amazing. It's packed with filling and tastes good. They were really fast too!! I'm going to try other rolls for lunch !!!

    This Japanese sushi eatery spot just opened and celebrated their Grand Opening yesterday! I ordered their Grass Jelly dessert with red beans, sago, and mangos as well as their Eel Rice Bowl. The drink was complimentary, most likely because of the Grand Opening. I'm so glad I chose this spot for lunch because it was both affordable and delicious! Eel rice bowls for under $15 are generally nearly impossible to find in NYC now and with good quality fish and an ample amount. The grass jelly was also really good and honestly, I could split it for 2 meals. I ended up coming back for a second time because I wanted to try the sushi since they were so affordable and also to see if they were fresh. I'm glad to say that they were. It's pretty rare to find such cheap sushi in NYC. A la carte were mostly around $1.5, with the most expensive at $2 for the scallop and uni. Even their rolls and chirashi were cheap! $4 rolls and $12 bowls are such a steal. I'm glad they don't skip on quality and quantity either. I decided to try 7 sushi's- lobster salad, scallop, uni, mackerel, seared salmon and yellowtail. I usually don't have high expectations for uni unless I eat it at omakase, because usually the cheap uni is not fresh. However, here it was pretty tasty and not sour at all. It was sliced a bit thinner, but uni gets expensive so I thought the portion was fair for only $2. The Inari wasn't filled enough like a regular Inari and there were some unfamiliar crunchy toppings that I think didn't really need to be there. The other pieces were pretty tasty as well. The slices were generous and clean and the rice to fish ratio was appropriate. Only 2 small things I would change is to include a little plate or container to put soy sauce in as usually you dip your sushi in soy sauce instead of dressing it in soy sauce. Secondly, I was a bit confused on why there were lemon slices included as it's not usually paired with sushi. Even if it is for decoration, I think it's not necessary. The staff does not really speak English so please be patient and give them grace. The menu is in both English and Chinese so you can point to the item you want too! Something else to keep in mind is that they do not take credit cards (yet) since they just opened. One thing I think that could help them would be to add their restaurant name, address and contact information on the menu. Currently the menu is only the food and drink items but it's hard to know where it's from. This is just my first impression and I'm already quite satisfied. I can easily find myself coming back often when I crave sushi!

    Was craving sushi and decided to try this spot out! I got the salmon avocado and jalapeño yellowtail rolls. The pieces of fish were large and so fresh! The prices were pretty good/comparable to most places too. Would highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! Definitely coming back to try the other rolls.

    Very newly opened and can't believe the quality and value are simply amazing. It's a hole in the wall, family joint. Not very many dine in seats so come in early or take your chances or opt for take out instead. The quality of the fish was just superb and fresh for the price point.

    Prices are really cheap for the portion! The sushi was surprisingly really fresh and the staff were friendly. Will be coming back.

    Salmon platter
    Nathan L.

    The value prop for this place is crazy. $12.95 for a salmon platter that comes with 6 pieces of sashimi, 3 nigiri, and 6 pieces of sushi for decent quality is an absolute bargain.

    Philadelphia roll, salmon avocado, tuna avocado, white tuna

    This place is so good! Most of the normal rolls are all under $4 and the special rolls range from about $9-14 I think. The rolls are cheap and tastes fresh so I would say it's a great steal.

    Salmon sashimi platter
    Kuri M.

    Ordered it in person as take out. Lady was very friendly, and food was made real fast! Salmon sashimi were really fresh, the only thing I'd say needs improvement is the kani salad (tastes kinda bland). But overall I do recommend the place, price is really cheap for this good quality

    spicy salmon, salmon avocado, eel avocado, tempura roll

    Good food and fast service. Mostly for takeout there is limited seating but works if your group is small.

    This spot is a great addition to the neighborhood sushi scene, more variety than your typical…read moreclassic roll spot but less formal than a full on omakase. From the start, the menu felt a little overwhelming, but I actually liked how much variety there was. They've got your everyday sashimi, sushi, rolls, and some specials, plus plenty of hot food like bento boxes, noodles and rice dishes. There are even party trays if you're grabbing food for an event. With so many options, there's something for everyone in your group. The fish was fresh overall, though it leaned more mild than that buttery, sweet richness you get from higher grade cuts. The salmon belly was good but not as rich or melty as I hoped. The toro was nicely torched with that perfect buttery flavor. They also had Santa Barbara uni that night, which was solid, just not the most sweet batch I've had. They were already sold out of their Hokkaido uni that evening. We also tried the monkfish liver appetizer, it was mild and clean tasting, though I wished it had more of that rich, creamy depth you sometimes get from good quality ankimo. It came plain, but once I asked for a little ponzu, it helped balance the flavor. The space itself is clean and very bright, with an open layout where you can easily hear other tables, lively but not too loud. Service was friendly and polite, though a bit on the inexperienced side. Everyone was kind and tried their best, just small moments where communication or timing could be smoother. Parking in the area can be tricky depending on the time, but there are plenty of meters and street parking within walking distance.

Their sushi is decent and some of the entrees are good like their egg drop beef chow fun. They allow you to BYOB and if you ask for an ice bucket, they can provide that for you too.

Ambiance is nice. For appetizer we got the rock n appetizer which was good. Then for entrees we ordered: the dancing eel roll and hubby got the California dinner. His came with soup and I got the salad. I love their salad because of the sauce. I ate some pieces of my husband's roll and they were good. Dancing eel roll was good but a bit sweet and I didn't like it too much. I used to order that a lot before my pregnancy and now I didn't care for it. I also got the green tea tempura ice cream. It was good, but next time I'll should ask them to hold the whipped cream. It made it too sweet and I couldn't taste the green tea ice cream much. Next time, I'll try other rolls or the unagi don which is good too.

    Haven't had food here in a while since the neighborhood has a lot more Japanese spots these days,…read morebut I ordered lunch here recently, and it's still a solid spot. I got the salmon lunch bento. It came with a California roll, two shu mais, half an orange, salad/miso soup, rice, and the salmon. It's the typical stuff that comes with a bento but the orange was a surprise. It was even cut nicely to make it convenient to eat! I've been a little worried about the sodium level when I eat out cause everything just tastes so salty these days, but the food here was nicely seasoned and well balanced. I would try to make an effort to eat here more often!

And the bathrooms are probably the nicest bathrooms I've ever seen in NYC as they have a Japanese toilet with a motion sensor lid. The service was very attentive and lovely. I'm a bit short (5'3) so my legs usually just barely touch the bars in a stool / bar seating and when the server (who I believe is also the owner) noticed he brought a shelf essentially that would allow me to rest my feet easier. I've never seen that before and it was so kind and appreciated. They do not have a wine menu which is what I normally order but they do have an extensive sake menu so I decided to give it a try and they have a helpful guide which shows like which sakes are sweet or sour etc. I picked a sweet one which was delicious. When they served it, they let us pick cups based on our Chinese zodiac so we got the monkey and the sheep based on our birth years. So unique and special. And of course the food was delicious! the first half were very unique dishes, plated beautifully and the second half was traditional nigiri. When the chef noticed my strong reaction to the amount of wasabi on the first nigiri, he was kind enough to adjust the amount of wasabi for me moving forward without me even having to ask. All in all it was an incredible night especially not having to go into Manhattan. I look forward to coming back!!

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon for lunch. Decided on a sushi for appetizer and a rice don bowl for meal. Lunch special had any 2 rolls for $8.95 and they have a spicy scallops roll. It turn out to be a California roll with chopped spicy scallops on top. If I knew, I would not have gotten it as I imagine a spicy tuna roll but with scallops. I don't normally get California roll (not basic) because I also don't know what imitatation crab Kani stick product they are using as I have a crustacean allergy. Some Kani stick is purely fish and some have crab extract in it which I can't have. I wish there menu had more details/informations but most sushi places don't list what is in the rolls and expect you to know it or Google it. But for people with allergies (yes, I know, why eat sushi if I have a crustacean allergy but there are other options for me), we would love to know what is in the dish. Ordered: 2 rolls for $8.95: eel avocado & spicy scallop rolls and a Salmon Eel Don. Lots of rice for don and good portion fish. Zoomed in photo of the spicy scallop sushi showed it was California roll with the chopped spicy scallops on top. Overall, enjoyed my lunch. Would definitely come back to try other dons and noodles.
