Needed a quick casual lunch spot to meet some friends. Great lunch special, $13.95 for 2 rolls plus soup or salad (I got spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls). They also have 3 rolls special. Nice, small restaurant for dining in... also great take out. I would like to try their katsu and noodles next time. read more

$29 gets you miso, 9 pieces of nigiri, and a tuna roll. The assortment is cookie-cutter -- eel, shrimp, salmon, tuna -- nothing out of the box, but the fish itself was fresh. The tuna roll looked a little oddly crimson, but tasted fine. The downside: rice kept falling apart, even though flavor was solid. Presentation was decent (lemon wedge, ponzu available), but overall nothing standout in a neighborhood with stronger options.

Been coming here for years. Fresh tasty food and excellent service. And their lunch specials can't be beat!!

I got sushi delivered from here and asked for extra ginger and ginger dressing on the side and they delivered! It wasn't the freshest/best fish but it was still good and I enjoyed what I got! I had the rainbow Naruto roll and the sashimi salad! read more

Maguro - Sushi!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for lunch, the restaurant is a bit small, but they have plenty of staff. I ordered the 3 roll lunch special ($18) which comes with a soup or salad. The sushi was good and everyone enjoyed what they got. I would not say this place is special or distinguishes itself from other spots, but it is pretty good and the service is friendly. read more

Food is ok. Delivery service and customer service is awful. 1 hour wait for delivery (twice, I believe in 2nd chances). Both times I called restaurant to (nicely) ask about delay- person was super rude. So. Bye read more

I feel like New Yorkers have an issue where if something is reasonably priced they'll forgive anything in the way of quality. What is this? Maybe the quality went down during the panoramic? $15 for a lunch special with 2 rolls and a salad. The salad dressing was fine - standard Japanese dressing with ginger. The salad was strangely very wet. They only took a few minutes to get everything together - I'm talking less than 5 which was nice. That's where the positives ended. The wasabi is a fluorescent green color - clearly less than average quality. The ginger is also translucent - same deal. They put a minimal amount of rice which is good but it tastes stale and definitely they did not use any seasonings on the rice like they should. The fish quality.... very low. Everything tasted like it was on the verge of expiration. As a note, due to social distancing it's only pick-up currently, no dining in. Although... why you would want to dine here at all is beyond me. read more

This was a great option for a light lunch. The peanut avocado and sweet potato tempura rolls were tasty and filling. Both were slightly sweet and paired well with spicy mayo. Generous portion of edamame. Reasonable prices. read more

There's no dearth of standard middle of the road sushi restaurants with identical menus and lunch specials in the neighborhood, and Maguro falls squarely in the middle in terms of quality as well. Nothing on the menu will surprise you if you order from restaurants like these often, nor will the prices. I typically pick the special maki combo, which gets you 3 select rolls for about $18.50, individual rolls for about $7, and special rolls for upwards of $18. This is mostly a takeout and delivery joint, though there are a few tables inside if you want to dine in. They run a swift and efficient operation as the lunchtime and dinner orders come in, and at times this will mean they'll give you the wrong roll, so if you're picking up, check your order before you leave. The quality of the fish is fine and I'd stick to popular picks like salmon, tuna, and yellowtail to ensure there's quick turnover for the fish. read more

I'm not sure if they changed ownership but due to a time crunch I decided to go here for lunch and ordered their salmon bento lunch box. With much disappointment, my lunch box tasted nothing like authentic Japanese cuisine. In fact, it reminded me more of the kind of food you would find at a chinese buffet that serve imitation. Don't get me wrong as I'm completely fine if cuisines are prepared by other ethic chefs but the lunch that was given to me was not up to par. My salad for example tasted like it was came straight out of the fridge (with bowls and all) as the salad, dressing, and bowl itself was icy cold. Their bento box also came with an eggroll. From my understanding, eggrolls are considered chinese cuisine, not Japanese. Further more, their egg rolll reminded me of the packaged eggrolls from the freezer section of asian markets. To worsen the experience, they drenched the egg roll with the thai sweet and spicy sauce. Ugghhh. As for my salmon teriyaki, it was dry and flavorless. They just lay an assortment of boring boiled veggies at the bottle with a baked salmon on top. Then to moisten it up, they drenched it with a sweet eel like sauce that also reminds me of the kind of sauce I would also find at asian markets. Lastly, the bento box was served on a painter palette looking plate (even though it's advertised as bento lunch box) My only guess is that the bento box are more expensive to purchase. Regardless, the palette looking plate was unattractive and eating from the plate felt like I was eating off the table. Bottom line, I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good japanese meal. Their food tasted mediocre and they didn't even bother to compliment their guest with hot tea. read more

Maguro is still my go to local quick take-out sushi sashimi spot in the Kips Bay area. The fish is very fresh, the rice is seasoned right and they are lightening quick for delivery! Tonight's favorite of salmon and eel sashimi ($3.50 for 2 piece serving), with the yummy Crazy Salmon Roll ($13.50) are exactly what I wanted. Arigato! read more

Short review: Go for the dons/bowls. The Oyako don is massive and the unagi don is pretty good as wlel. I've gone here a couple times as they have a very different menu to the other local sushi place by work. While I prefer the sushi at Oishi (due to the more plain rolls such as tuna and salmon instead of having cucumber and I find the tuna to be a bit worse here,) I prefer the bowls here as well as the miso soup (as it contains enoki mushrooms and other stuff.) The unagi-don is OK with a good portion while the oyako-don is massive. 3.6 mostly for the oyako don. read more

This review is for delivery during the work week for lunch. I ordered the Pork Katsu Bento Box for $11.50 and was not disappointed. They give a hearty amount of meat (two "layers" of it if you are looking at the picture). The katsu was light, tasty, and not insane on the breading. Great lunch with the rice, California roll, egg roll, and conveniently cut orange. Fresh ingredients in the California roll. read more

Spicy tuna rolls are odd and suspiciously red. As in food coloring red. Which is fine, just not my type of deal. Ginger dressing isn't 100% solid but I love the lettuce they use in the salad. Super fresh, cold and crunchy! I prefer to dine in than take out. The ambiance is great even to bring a client in for a casual lunch or meet informally with friends. read more

Love this place! I always order from here and they make my food fresh. Always comes with so much food and it makes me filled. The Beto box comes with salad, soup, rice, your entree choice, a roll of California roll, a vegetable spring roll, and cut up fruit. I find it so nice that this restaurant takes the time to set up cut up fruit. I've never had another sushi restaurant have cut up fruit in my bento box. It balances the entire meal. The food tastes amazing, service is great, as delivery is within 30 minutes. Suggest calling in to order. Would definitely continue to order, and thank you for the amazing service! read more

Sushi & Sashimi platter for 2 - $51 (photo attached for your reference) Maguro is a small/medium sized restaurant located in Murray Hill. The service here is quick and attentive. We ordered the Sushi & Sashimi platter for two and I've concluded that this platter is generous with their portions, and gives you the most bang for your buck - it came with some pretty thick cuts of sashimi, which I appreciate. read more

TL;DR - Fairly mediocre sushi, but what it lacks in quality it makes up for in value and reliability. I order pretty frequently through Seamless and the delivery is always prompt and reliable. Everything is consistently packaged well, utensils and napkins are always included, and not once have they ever forgotten part of an order, which is rare to say. I generally get a bento box, which at $10.50 for lunch is an incredible bargain. Along with your choice of teriyaki, tempura, or katsu entree comes a spring roll, white rice, miso soup, a california roll, and pineapple. The portion size is borderline excessive and when I'm not super hungry I'll eat the sides and save the main protein-based entree for a second meal. I've also ordered the 3 roll special for lunch (~$13) - a wide variety of options for rolls are available for the special. I find that at many other cheap-ish sushi places they limit you, but most of the simpler rolls are on the list of options. Quality is average - I don't know if I would necessarily trust the sashimi, but for your simple Cali/shrimp tempura roll, it's hard to go wrong. The edamame is great and the portion size can easily be shared among 3-4 people. Overall, will definitely order again whenever I need a cheap and easy sushi lunch, but it's not exactly Nakazawa. read more

Ever since East closed down, I started to come here for sushi whenever I'm craving it while I'm at school. The sushi here is really tasty and fresh. I particularly like their dinner bento box which comes with two entrees. It's about $18 but it comes with so much food. They also do a lunch special, 3 rolls for about $13. The place itself is very small. It can maybe seat 5 or 6 tables of 4 guests. Service is not bad, because the place is so small, they can be attentive. They always give you candy or mints plus a whole free orange after you ask for a check, which is awesome service in my book . I also ordered takeout for pickup from them a couple times. It takes a bit of time, even when I arrive for the set pickup time, I usually have to end up waiting a bit. But quality of food is just as good as dine-in. read more

The quality is really subpar even when their portion size is pretty decent. I was afraid I would get sick the next day. I came in late one night and they were using heavy bleach to clean their kitchen. It made it really unpleasant for me to dine there. They were also constantly lugging the trash in and out the restaurant while I was trying to enjoy my meal there. They obviously don't care for their customers nor do they have any customer service. Would not return again. read more

Maguro - The cucumber in the CA roll was so dried up and not fresh. They must kept it overnight. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I'm so glad I found this spot for lunch! It's tucked away from the avenue and is on the street. Glance away quickly and you might miss it. It's a fairly small restaurant with just enough tables but stacked pretty tightly. Lunch gets crowded but turns over fast. Ordered the bento box lunch special, SO worth it for $9.95. Pork katsu, spring roll, pineapple, rice, california roll, miso soup and salad. Sounded like such a great deal but is the taste as good as the price? It is! I substituted a california roll for spicy salmon roll for an extra $1. However, note that substition prices will vary per roll. The miso soup is interesting because they add what looks to be enoki mushrooms in it. Not bad! Salad came with a decent amount of ginger dressing - wish there was more. The main entree came on a giant plate. Pork katsu was done very nicely. Plenty of meat, less breading but nicely fried with that perfect crunch. Just enough rice to get me through the meal. I liked the touch of spring roll and really enjoyed the pineapple. It's like appetizer, entree and dessert all in one! The spicy salmon roll was good and just the way I like it - mildly spiced, little rice, more fish and good round size. I would certainly return. This place seems to do well on takeout. Looking forward to trying more on the lunch special menu. read more

*Delivery Review* I never leave reviews. Something "fishy" seems to be going on with them. I called the restaurant because Uber Eats wouldn't give me a status update on the app. They picked up and said to give them 30 minutes. An hour passed and they cancel the order on me claiming that the restaurant has closed. Based on the other reviews, it looks like they use their own delivery folks. TLDR: I'd stay away. read more

So been living in midtown NYC for ~10 years now and have never had such bad quality sushi (and i order a ton always trying a new sushi place. Have no idea how they have high reviews. On google you see a bunch of people who never reviewed anything give them 5 stars and they all sound generically the same. Is it a scam ? Ordered from uber eats and told them we end up throwing our order out...they gave us some generic corporate crap lol. Cant even see the reviews on uber...now I will be checking reviews here at yelp again. Yelp tends to be more accurate. Seamless would have given my money back. read more

** Delivery Review ** The short: in the seamless world of mediocre sushi... this place is a gem. I've now ordered twice for dinner and have been very, very pleased both times. The longer: the clear mushroom soup is delicious and the small inside out rolls (with brown rice) are double the size as most sushi places. The fish has been fresh, not fishy & super buttery-- and the sashimi was of the same quality. They have a great diversity of specialty rolls & tons of yummy sounding apps (I had the shumai & spring rolls-- and they were both pretty standard/nothing special). But, super into the fresh sushi and the speedy delivery. This is my new sushi delivery go-to! read more

Walking around Midtown during the Korean parade/festival and was in the mood for some sushi. Got here a little before dinner time and it wasn't crowded at all. Sat down got to order pretty quickly. The service was great. Very friendly and on top of keeping our waters filled. The sushi was great, but not amazing. I had a shrimp tempura Roll, a Rainbow Roll, and a Neptune Roll. The tempura was kind of bland, but the rainbow roll had lobster on top, which surprised me since it's usually just shrimp. Both my girlfriend and myself got the Neptune Roll, which was about every seafood item they had wrapped in something different (can't remember, but it wasn't your normal seaweed), but it was very good. It is a little expensive, but I should have thought of that before getting sushi in the city. read more

Spring is in the air, the short skirts have been broken out of winter storage, and the ladies are sporting some fine looking legs all around the city. In fact, today I stumbled upon this sexy newcomer walking by that basically lured me in to nibble on her tasty box! And devour that box I did! Maguro Sushi is a relatively new sushi restaurant that opened up a few blocks from where I work a few months ago, and I did not even know it existed until today. Maybe it was the chalkboard outside promoting an $8.50 Bento Box lunch special that caught my eye. As I was on the lookout for a new box to wrap my lips around I decided to make a play for it. So glad I did because this box is a winner! The lunch special comes with a tasty bowl of miso soup, a full salad in bowl, and a terrific bento box that is presented on a chic platter. The plating here is tremendous - very sleek looking. I had the salmon teriyaki and it was prepared just right, nice and flaky, on a bed of mixed vegetables with just the right amount of sauce glazed over it. Thick California roll, white rice, spring rolls, and even orange slices. All this for only $8.50? You bet - and it tasted good! Finding cheap lunch eats are always a bonus, and this one will now be on my list as a work week lunch option. I do love eating a tasty box! read more

Came here for a Valentine's dinner and loved Maguro! Pros: * At great affordable prices, Maguro has the highest fish to rice ratio in NYC (although in terms of quality I think Umi Sushi is superior)- it's awesome to see just a sliver of rice compared to 3x more avocado and fresh thick slabs of fish. Recommend the Spicy Crunchy Salmon Roll, Crunchy Tuna & Salmon, and Tiger Roll (tuna, salmon, avocado inside with tuna, salmon, eel)- my BF and I were completely full from this combination. You also get a lot of wine for only $4 per glass. * Excellent service- you get a delicious and simple complimentary crab and cucumber salad at beginning of service, along with fresh interestingly-cut orange upon checkout. For V-Day I also received a cute rose bouquet on the house- what a nice touch! Tips: * Beer and wine only * Maguro is small and intimate and it since its popular it tends to get very packed so suggest making a reservation. * Good for groups of 4 people maximum. read more

This is your standard, run-of-the-mill sushi spot. (I almost said 'garden variety' but I feel like that's overstating it. I like gardens, and things that come from gardens tend to be much better than their non-garden counterparts, in my experience.) The fish is fresh enough, the construction of maki and nigiri is workmanlike, they have a few affordable lunch specials (two-roll, three-roll, bento box, etc.), and they probably do a lot of delivery/takeout business. I'm not coming in to marvel at their omakase, but to get some sort of a spicy tuna/eel avocado/shrimp tempura/sushi deluxe/shumai/gyoza/tekka/salmon/shrimp something combination meal. The most American approach I can possibly take to eating sushi without getting California rolls or Philadelphia rolls (mostly because the majority of crab stick sucks, and cream cheese doesn't belong on my sushi). And Maguro does just fine with that. read more

I NEVER post reviews - but the man who delivered my food tried to come into my apartment over a TIP! I ordered on doordash, and always wait to tip after I recieve the food (to make sure it actually arrives, is the correct order, comes in a timely manner, etc). I told him that, and he tried pushing the door open in my face and was very angry. And yes, the delivery guy was from the restaurant, not a dasher. EXTREMELY scary and disturbing as a woman in NYC.
