    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.

    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!

    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

    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 ...

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Avery M.

    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.

    Selena L.

    We pre-ordered online for a night in, and what a disaster! They took way too many orders than they could handle, and as a result, our order was hours behind the pickup time. After an hour of waiting, we were lucky to get someone else's abandoned order, which obviously did not contain the boxes we had originally wanted. The food itself was solid but spectacular, and certainly not worth the hassle.

    I had stopped by this little hole in the wall a handful of times before stopping in several months…read moreago during a cold winter day. The place was pretty quiet, and the staff was friendly. To drink, I had a Hot Organic Super Matcha Tea for 4.95. It was alright tea, and I wish teas were included in the price point, as otherwise, this place feels pretty traditional. In terms of food, I only ordered from the seasonal menu, so I'm not sure how the rest of the dishes are, but from what I had, I would go back for a light traditional meal. My appetizer was the Dashimaki Tamago/だし巻まき卵たま, or sweet savory omelet with daikon for $6.98. This came with three pieces along with a little dollop of grated radish. The pieces had a light sweetness to them along with a bit of savoriness. They were juicy and a bit bouncy while maintaining some softness. This was standard and good. My main dish was the $19.98 Beef Tan Tan Udon, or ground sirloin beef, spicy broth, baby bok choy, kikurage mushroom, scallions, and sesame seeds. While I have preferred udon from spots like Raku, the udon had a mild chew to it, and they were still good. The broth had a mix of sweetness and spiciness with a nice depth of flavor. The vegetables inside tasted fresh, and the meat added some richness. This was good as well. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to go here, but the food was good. If you're in the area and looking for no frills Japanese dining in a more comfortable atmosphere at pretty decent Midtown East prices, I would recommend this place.

Very cozy restaurant and the staff were attentive and friendly. Luckily their service is very fast so my family and I didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table in the back. I really enjoyed their niku udon. The broth was flavorful but not too salty. The menu offered a variety of options, all reasonably priced between $10-20, ensuring great value for the quality provided. I would come back to Tensai for some comforting Japanese udon noodles!

They have a good happy hour with both drink and food options. We both ordered margaritas, which needed a slight adjustment as they were made too sour, and I also tried some sake, which was a good selection. For food, I ordered the fried chicken, which was very good, crispy, flavorful, and a generous portion, served with tartar sauce ($20). We also shared edamame and a couple of yakitori skewers: the shiitake mushrooms ($6) and pork belly ($8). The mushrooms were quite bland and I did not finish them, but the pork belly looked great and my friend enjoyed it. Overall, this is a good Midtown East spot for happy hour or a casual lunch and I would return.

    On our very first day in New York, we had some time before taking the Statue of Liberty cruise…read more We originally had another restaurant in mind, but the timing did not work out, so we searched on Google and found Sozai Japanese Restaurant, which was supposed to be close to our hotel. Google said it was a 10-minute walk. But honestly... was that 10 minutes measured by someone running? It was an extremely hot day in New York, and my family and I were walking there, sweating like we were on a small survival mission. It felt more like 20 minutes or more. By the time we arrived, we were hot, tired, and very hungry. But the moment we opened the door, everything changed. The manager welcomed us with such a bright and warm smile. We told him we did not have a reservation, and he kindly said it was okay and seated us right away. That alone made us feel so much better. As soon as we sat down, we ordered cold beer and highballs. After walking in that heat, that first sip felt like pure happiness. It was exactly what we needed. My sister, my mom, and I each ordered different kinds of donburi, and my daughter ordered tonkatsu. When the food came out, I almost fainted -- in the best way possible. The rice was absolutely amazing. It was perfectly sticky, nutty, soft, and full of flavor. I know this may sound dramatic, but every grain of rice felt like it was dancing gently in my mouth. That was the moment I thought, "This is what good rice should taste like." A good donburi is not only about the toppings. The rice has to be right, and here, it was perfect. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. The texture, the flavor, the quality -- everything was excellent. Every bite made me think, "This place really knows what they are doing." My daughter's tonkatsu was also wonderful. She is a very picky eater, but she kept saying how soft, juicy, and delicious it was, especially with the sauce. When a picky child finishes everything quietly, that is the most honest review you can get. In the end, all four of us completely finished our bowls. Not a little bit. Completely. Clean. Empty. Happy. We told the manager how much we enjoyed the food, and our server was also very kind and explained everything so nicely. The food was excellent, but the warm service made the experience even more memorable. At first, we came here simply because the timing was awkward and it was near our hotel. But by the time we left, we knew we had found a place we would want to visit again. The long, hot walk was absolutely worth it. Sozai Japanese Restaurant gave our family a delicious and happy memory on our first day in New York. If I visit New York again, I will definitely come back.

I was confused by this remark, though I chose not to engage in any debate or explanation; as a Japanese visitor, I preferred to avoid confrontation. Another point of contention: the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service surcharge to every check, regardless of the quality of service received. This may simply be standard practice for dining establishments in New York, yet I personally cannot accept or agree with this policy.
