Reema N.

Went to the city for a little getaway weekend and so glad we came here for dinner! Shoutout to Nina the sushi queen on TikTok for this rec! Every piece was fresh, the rice was fantastic, and there was really a lot of attention to detail here. Everything was amazing! It was my first true omakase experience and I will never forget it. Amazing 10/10!

takeout salmon sushi set
Angelina L.

i got the salmon sushi set, which comes with 8 HUGE pieces of salmon nigiri. i'm blown away by how buttery soft the salmon pieces were, how well seasoned the sushi rice was, and (most importantly) how this whole set only costs $30. this was my first time ordering takeout from sanyuu west, but definitely not my last! note: you do have to order this ahead of time by texting the number listed on their website. i was able to place an order the night before & scheduled it for pick-up right when they opened at 5pm. very smooth process & you pay when you pick it up!

Cobey L.

Came back after a few years and it still did not disappoint. The food was amazing. Every piece that was served was quality. The omakase experience was 15 courses. We didn't feel rushed and the service wasn't slow. You can also order from their take-out menu like the 9 piece salmon nigiri. Their Big Mac was amazing and felt like magic in my mouth. Overall a 10/10 experience and would come back to try their other specialty pieces.

Omakase sets for takeout
Justin L.

They have indoor dining or takeout options. I opted to order takeout. I ordered the omakase sets and the salmon nigiri and both were great! You can find their takeout menu on their website and text the number listed to order. I ended up placing the order the night before for pickup the following evening and they were very accommodating. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. The omakase sets were $69 each and the salmon nigiri is $30. We liked the omakase sets but honestly the star of the show for us was the giant salmon nigiri which is unbeatable for the price. You get 8 huge nigiri with generous large pieces of salmon on each! I would come back over and over again for this. Pickup was easy and quick and the item was ready for me as promised. They also made sure to pack us adequate utensils and everything you need to enjoy the omakase at home including soy sauce. Definitely try this spot out if you're a sushi lover or love salmon!

Salmon nigiri takeout

100 more of these please!!!!!!!! 8 salmon nigiri's (GIANT) were $30. SUCH A STEAL! It's takeout only Would definitely come back to try their omakase bc the quality of the salmon was great

Literal gold on top of sushi
Carly C.

Love Sanyuu! They recently raised the price to $87 pp but the quality is worth it. It's surprising but I start getting full around course 5 (out of 15). They only have a few small seatings per day with each about an hour. It's fine to get there a few minutes late and they'll just pace faster -- two chefs in the middle that can kind of serve the parties separately. Im gluten free which they accommodate, even providing GF soy sauce. Generally you can request to substitute certain fishes and they seem to have go-to backups. It's a very quiet and intimate setting so you can still have a convo without facing each other. Once went for a small celebration and at the end they gave us complimentary caviar hand rolls! Truly such kind people and tasty fish.

I liked this place considering it's somewhat of a value omakase spot. For $87/15 pieces, it's pretty good. I think that it's among the top under $100 omakase in the city right now based on the quality of the fish and how many pieces you get. I thought their otoro and sea bream were quite good. I'd go back again!

When my friend messaged me after work about going to an omakase place, I immediately started preparing myself for my wallet to cry. As I was ordering ramen to sustain myself for my inevitable future, she messaged me not to worry because this was a reasonably priced place. I thought she was joking because reasonably priced omakase has to either be an oxymoron or not high quality fish. Walking in the setting was like a traditional omakase. An intimate u shaped table where the sushi chef will place the food fresh off the board, but it still felt very cozy. Every dish put before me was uniquely flavored. However, the fresh, carefully prepared meat was a consistent factor. The service was warm and you can tell how much thought they put into both the dishes and your experience. If you want a great quality omakase for anything from a casual dinner to a date night without breaking the bank then this is the place to go.

Kevin N.

Cozy omakase place were you sit at the bar, the experience was pretty fast pace but for the price of what you get it was pretty worth it : $78 for 15 pieces. The chefs were super nice and explained each piece well, and kinda chatted with us as well but their main focus was definitely pushing out the pieces. The service was super attentive as we had pretty quick refills on water/tea and were asked about any allergens, etc. Selection wise had a good amount of variety, and some pieces had some wow to it like adding chili crispy to a tuna nigiri! Each piece tasted pretty fresh and by the end of the course we were pretty satisfied and full. Notable faves: Otoro The Mac( toro, Wagyu, foie gras, uni ) Scallop Salmon w/ foie gras

Salmon takeout

I got their salmon nigiri takeout, and it's very good! It's worth the price. Check online for their number to text to order

Salmon nigiri set
Jessica P.

Came here because we wanted to try their huge salmon nigiri and we weren't disappointed! It was about $35 for the whole set. We accidentally came in during their lunch break believe it right before opening (5pm) but they still let us order for takeout! Very kind staff! As for the food, the rice was very yummy and the salmon was huge and supple. It was simple but very good and this set was enough for my bf and I to feel pretty satisfied.

Sanyuu West has been on my list of NYC restaurants to try for over a year! I first saw their viral, extravagant omakase take out boxes all over social media. I made reservations for two a few days before and they were easy to secure on RESY. The seating was intimate - 13 seats. I saw they were preparing the appetizers for the next group of 17. The nigiri started off light and it got more and more luxurious and rich through the meal. I really enjoyed the marinated salmon roe, sea bream and yellowtail! It was also fun to watch the chefs meticulously create each nigiri. Here's what we got: Crab and uni with pickled cucumbers Sea bream, yuzu lemon Hamachi yellowtail ginger and scallion Kambachi amberjack Hakami blue fin tuna, chili crisp Toro caviar with gold flakes Sweet shrimp yuzu topico Scallop with lime and truffle salt Salmon roe yuzu zest masago Shima aji striped jack Wagyu uni toro toast Salmon with foie gras truffle toro Unagi sesame sauce and fried potato Toro handroll Sweet tamago

Ambiance - very intimate spot, great for dates/small groups Service - texted the restaurant the night before that we wanted to do sushi takeout and they responded + confirmed my order quickly Food - the food was exactly like how the website advertised, the fish was fresh, and the presentation was excellent!

It does well with doing the whole "fusion" schtick without losing the essence and flavor of the dishes. Pad Krapoa Moo Krob, the meat on the pork belly was so juicy - the pork skin was crunchy and chewy at the same time, flavors of Thai spice, basil, and bell peppers harmoniously working together to bring a balanced meal. The shrimp basil fried rice was delicious, a great alternative if you're not feeling the crab fried rice.

For our entrees, my mother ordered the Pad Thai, and my father and I ordered the Pho Bó. My mom absolutely loved the Pad Thai! The Pho Bó was incredible. The broth was so delectable, and it was honestly the best broth that I have ever had. The portions were also incredible, especially for the price and being in the city! Once we received the check, we noticed that next to the Pho Bó, it stated that it is Michelin Recommended, and we completely understand why! We are looking forward to going back!

Stopped by on a Friday night for dinner with my best friend. The place itself is gorgeous, moody,…read moreand very architecturally pleasing. To start, we had the lychee martinis. It's not your typical lychee martini. It has Aperol and pineapple, which gives it a great flavor. My only note is that I wish it were a bit stronger. For appetizers we had the yellowtail, which is a must get. It was delicious. We also had the lobster spring rolls, another great dish, and the crispy wontons, which were good but not my favorite compared to everything else. For our entrée we got the beef tenderloin, another must get. It was amazing, super tender, and melts in your mouth. We had it with the fried rice, which was solid. For dessert we had the ice cream sandwich, which was different in the best way and extremely delicious. It wasn't too sweet and the cone "buns" were perfection. Overall, this place is gorgeous and the food matches. I would definitely return. The service was also great, the perfect balance of letting you do your own thing and truly enjoy your evening while still checking in. It is pricey. We each paid $184 including tip, but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or to spoil yourself a bit.

Best way to describe this is luxe Asian or bougie Chinese. If you are fan of top Chef it would be called soigné. We had three of the hot apps, Foie gras, lobster shumai with caviar and morel mushroom with spinach crystal dumplings. After that we're deciding between the quail and beef tenderloin wok dishes. Since the quail was spicy went with tenderloin which came with small serving of rice. All the food was great. I felt the crystal dumpling needed a kicked and they brought Out there house soy and hot vinegar sauce. For drinks I tried there mix of a classic martini with an old fashioned and after discussions with there somm who nicely recommended a more affordable bottle that would meet our needs got the Chardonnay by glass as a bottle. Enjoyed the meal though likely spent 5 times what usually spend on Chinese place mainly due to cost of alcohol. Place is well designed with a look similar to Butter downtown with the arched ceiling mixed with with the sound dampening feature of similar design of bar Boulod. Will return to try the quail and the lobster spring rolls and if they keep to this standard will increase rating to 5.

The…read moreyellowtail was fresh and good quality, though it wasn't served in the typical ponzu-style sauce I'm used to, so it tasted different than expected (not bad, just unexpected). The spring salad was delicious, and the chicken lettuce cups were amazing -- definitely a standout. The rock shrimp was also delicious, and both the fried rice and lo mein were very good. I wasn't a big fan of the fried dumplings; they didn't have much flavor in my opinion. I also ordered the filet mignon -- it looked more well-done when it came out, but it was actually cooked perfectly medium to medium-plus. Overall, a great experience with a few highlights and only a small miss.

My cousin told me about this restaurant and based on the reviews that I saw on here, Google, and…read moreInstagram, I was down to try. When it comes to ambience, this place checks off every box. I loved the decor, lighting, furniture, and music. It's very spacious, and I really liked that they have separate areas for dining, large groups, and if you want do hookah. Our server was great and tried to accommodate as best as he could. We were very disappointed with the food. I was bummed they were out of the oxtail eggrolls. The items we ordered lacked flavor and just didn't hit. We ordered the chicken satay, the peanut sauce was a bit too thick and in our opinion didn't compliment the chicken and the chicken tasted pretty greasy. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and really enjoyed those. I also ordered the sea bass. It was a bit bland and the rice that was served on the side was hard. My cousin enjoyed the spice kung pao chicken. For drinks, we ordered the sidecar and lychee martini. I thought my drink was pretty good. If I'm ever in the area again, I think I would try it again just to see if I didn't choose the right options.
