    Beautifully presented even when delivered.
    Mauricio G.

    They say we "eat with our eyes first," so I was happy when my wife opened this beautiful box to reveal a thoughtful presentation inside - even when delivered. I ordered JoJi box for my wife after giving birth to our daughter. Beyond the presentation, the sushi itself was delicious, and my wife was really happy with its quality. JoJi Box was definitely an excellent first Sushi meal postpartum for a new mom.

    Quick and fast, so long as they have boxes on standby For what you're getting it's a great deal for the omakase box. 2 rolls (minced toro, and kani), 8 sushi pieces (salmon, akami, chutoro, mackerel, snapper, and a couple other white fish), ikura, uni, and salmon sashimi. All great quality. The caveat is the amount of rice. That being said, we were def full after. It was a little difficult to find because I was expecting it to be in the main concourse area or food court. Instead it's at one of the exits staircases.

    Good taste, high quality fish but the service is TERRIBLE. The cashier/front desk lady could not be more unbothered. The wait time I'm for your food is also insanely long - it took 30 minutes for a Chirashi box when no one else was waiting.... Literally go only if you have time and patience

    It's a sushi box but it's a good-quality one. It's also not expensive. It's for to go but the service is amazing. Its location is perfect when you're off the train at the Grand Central Station or when you come down from visiting the Summit. Highly recommend!

    Things went downhill First time ordered delivery was pretty good, so i recommended to others. Ordered second time for co workers. disappointment. Fish was ok, just not amazing. Sushi rice was too cold and felt like they are in super market fridge for a while. I felt like i ordered from a fake/ grocery store sushi to go spot. Feel bad telling people in my office this is a Michelin star to-go spot. I think they took influencers and Michelin star for granted, and gave up on quality after a while. Price is decent, packaging is cute. That's the only good thing left. Do not recommend for real sushi, no longer Michelin graded spot. Side note: very tricky spot if you pick up in person, they are not located on the ground floor if you used Google map, but located right at subway entrance level.

    I came here to grab a to-go box before getting on the train. Service was fine. Boxes were premade and sitting in a fridge. I think it was $23 for 4 maki pieces and 4 nigiri. It was too cold to eat right away but after letting it sit for a bit, it was great. Rice seasoning and texture were just right for me and fish was tasty. I would come back.

    The sushi is amazing. So fresh and filling but not heavy! Service is fast, great for when you're in a rush if the line isn't long. Ambiance is great it's right next door to the full restaurant!

    JoJi Box is inside the world famous Grand Central Train Station. And it may explain why their packaging is so sturdy and functional, not to mention it is elegant looking. All these are meant for protecting the content when you take it on the train; and it inherently has added to the price you paid. But then again, who wants to have dismantled sushi roll at meal time. Food quality is very good and quite a few choices to please most clients. It is not overlly expensive but not cheap either. Occasionally there is a line during rush hours, but service is faily quick. Will definitly patronize again when I am at Grand Central and the sushi craving hits. Enjoy ...

    Joji Box 2
    Esther T.

    To say this place is tucked away is an understatement. I was misdirected by a Grand Central Terminal employee lol. I'm not even gonna try to offer directions on how to find it. There's no sign of food in the storefront, so it's not like you'll notice it unless you see the sign of their name. Idk where the sushi is made and I'm not asking questions. It feels like a top secret situation. Anyway, I got the Joji Box 2. Definitely beautiful presentation. The sushi was good quality. However, I wasn't blown away. I'm glad I finally tried it but don't see myself returning. Not because it's bad, just because there's better. Pro tips: - Best to order ahead on their website. The wait time was 30-35 mins around lunchtime - Plan ahead on where you will eat this. There are two bar top tables outside their store, but no stool. This is also the situation in the general seating area of the dining concourse in GCT. There are only a handful of tables with chairs. Principally, I refused to pay $50+ for lunch and eat it standing up. It's honestly quite asinine that they wouldn't keep a few stools outside their own store. It's time for Grand Central to put the chairs back too! - When the weather gets nice, pick up and walk over to Bryant to enjoy would be my advice.

    This sushi takeout spot is a bit hidden. Location: underneath the staircase of 1 Vanderbilt on Vanderbilt and 41 St. If you don't know where that is, look for the Summit retail store. If you are coming from Grand Central concourse, look for Firefly Flowers and go through the double doors About the restaurant: sushi takeout place by Chef Daniel Boulud and the team. The options are omakase, chirashi, combo, flights (4 Nigiri and 4 maki roll pieces), and a la carte. My order: Salmon Flights - 4 piece salmon nigiri and 1/2 salmon avocado maki roll. The fish was fresh. The price is a bit pricey for the amount of food you received, also it's located at Grand Central and they make it fresh (I waited for my order to be made). The presentation is a high quality box. From reading the other reviews, you might want to order and wait so you can get your order right as there are busy times. Enjoy!

    the most stunning sushi box ever! super fresh fish, nice splurge treat. pretty quick via uber eats. nice variety. favorites were more the nigiri (like the hamachi) versus the rolls.

    Maki Flight (~$20)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Maki Flight (~$20): Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado and Negi Toro rolls Aya's take: Michelin sushi for ~$20? Yes please! Joji Box is the takeout version of Joji, the Michelin star restaurant and Chef Daniel Boulud. It's located on the bottom floor of One Vanderbilt, really hard to miss so be on the look out for the building and signage. I was a bit hesitant as this box was already ready when I arrived and ordered. The worker told me it was made within the hour. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and freshness. The Maki Flight was absolutely perfect! These 3 rolls are honestly what I would normally order and it makes sense why they're the best-sellers. I couldn't tell which one I liked the most. All three were honestly phenomenal. I also love the attention to detail with the packaging. From the tiny bottle of soy sauce and tray to the napkin and chopsticks tucked on the side to the box itself. Everything was absolutely practical and also luxurious! I would absolutely come back for a quick lunch if I'm in the area and highly recommend you give it a try too!

    Omakase Box
    Essie L.

    Ordered the omakase box, which had a wait time of about an hour. Arrived at the time of pick up and it was not ready, had to wait another 10 minutes. The nigiri were okay but honestly I don't think the fish or even the rice was very fresh, even though the boxes are made to order. The rice was a bit too hard and dry, which is why I say it's not fresh. The tuna pieces in particular were too fishy. The portion is good for lunch. The presentation is nice, but I'd like something that can be recycled - this box most obviously is not just cardboard or paper, and cannot be recycled.

    I am a sucker for delicious Katsu and you'll struggle to find better than Katsu-Hama. Katsu-Hama…read morehas a quaint, Japanese vibe in a small but comfortable dining area. It's not especially big, so you may have a bit of a wait if you frequent right at lunch or in the evening but whatever amount of time you have to wait it will be well worth it. Service is top tier but you come for the food. They have a varied menu with a lot of options so if you're bringing a buddy that isn't up for Katsu, they'll have plenty to choose from. The Katsu is the star and I think what sets this place apart is that they offer Berkshire pork katsu as an option. Arguably some of the best pork, it's great to have the option if you're looking to heighten the experience. I love their pork katsu and go nuts over the chicken katsu curry. It's super crispy, slightly greasy but never off-putting. And it's served with the most delicate and delicious cabbage slaw. I could eat a mountain of this it's so good. Highly recommended.

    This place is a bit hard to spot, but it's on the same side of the street as the sorta famous (50…read moreyears +) Phil's Stationery. Katsu-Hama is about two doors to the Left of Phil's, and has minimal, very discreet signage. I got some tonkatsu...I forget the exact type, but it was essentially the most fatty of the tonkatsu offered. It came with cabbage (with a sesame ginger type dressing), daikon radish (with some type of sauce on top), and the standard sauce for the tonkatsu, along with some crushed sesame seed and hot mustard. I'd have to say...the tonkatsu was quite good....not quite as sublime as my favorite tonkatsu place in Tokyo...but still, very, very good. The dish also came with a bowl of miso soup (good, and not overly salty) and a bowl of white rice, which I considered the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice seemed a bit dried out...not moist.... All in all, an excellent meal. I'd definitely come back.

Many of the clientele are Japanese so we knew we were at an authentic place. We got: - Fried oysters: the batter was light and crispy and oysters piping hot - Vinegared Mackerel w/ Ponzu Sauce: fresh & tangy - Intestines Hotpot: comforting & light despite the fattiness of the intestines - Creamed Mentai Udon: they split it in 2 small bowls for us since we were sharing. Udon had a nice bouncy chew and sauce was not heavy We also got a bottle of sake, and they poured it in a beautiful sake decanter to keep it cold. First time seeing cold sake presented this way which was very cool. We tried Suntory draft beer since that was the only draft they had, which was odd since most Japanese places carry Asahi/Sapporo, definitely not as light as the other two beers I'm used to. Even though I was stuffed by the end, I didn't feel lethargic, everything felt light without compromising flavor. Service was attentive although our udon came at the very end, we thought they had forgot about it.

    There are a few restaurants in NYC that make you feel like you are stepping into a Japan portal,…read moreand Okatte Tanto is no doubt one of those. As you step into the restaurant, you immediately feel a sense of formality and strictness. It's also very quiet in the restaurant, and friendly to solo diners, adding on more to the Japan-esque feel. The food is high quality here, but the portions are small, and it is pricey. I would budget to spend around $100 a person here after tip and tax, if you ignore the prices on the menu and try a variety of things. The tuna from the bone is the most famous dish here, but I was not able to get it as they sell out very fast. But I tried the sashimi and it was high quality -- just that it was not enough food for me. But that makes it more in line with portions back in Japan. They have an extensive sake list and they also have the casual cocktail options like lemon drops you would find in Tokyo. The atmosphere really transports you straight into Japan if that is something you are looking for. Expect to pay a premium for small-ish portions, but at the same time very well-made and authentic food.
