This is the Torch sushi It is $43 and comes with nine pieces of nigiri, 3 salmon, 3 tuna and 3 yellowtail and they're all torched. no roll and no miso soup/salad. So nice large pieces of nigiri, good quality fish, wasn't toro but still good quality and nice warm well seasoned rice. With that said, it feels like it costs a bit too much for what it is. If this came with a spicy tuna roll or even an mis soup I'd feel a bit better about forking over $43 for it. With that said, if you like torched sushi, this will scratch an itch you just might want to get something else and that could make this costly. read more

Sashimi Express II - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

If you live in the UES and haven't gone here, what are you doing? This place has amazing sushi deals - we got 7 rolls for less than $30. Cash only. Ideally you call in ahead so you can just pick up (there's no seating). It's a family owned small business, no frills. You come here for good value sushi and maybe a bottled drink. Our favorite roll was the raw shrimp and avocado roll. Can you believe all this was under $30? In this economy?? For two people, we were stuffed and had leftovers for dinner. read more

Sashimi Express II - Eel avocado roll, D29. Philadelphia Roll, D8. Spicy Tuna Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Loved this spot! I've had this on my list for so long as I've heard the prices are amazing for the quality. Safe to say I wasn't disappointed. I paid about $15 for three rolls and a side of spicy mayo. This place is cash only so keep that in mind. The service was quick and there were two tables to eat but it was fairly small. All three rolls I had, the spicy tuna roll, the spicy salmon roll, and the Philadelphia roll, were so good and they had a really good amount of filling in each. Also loved the amount of ginger they gave. Will absolutely be returning soon! read more

I honestly really wanted this to be my next go-to sushi spot, especially since the prices are affordable! However, it's really the taste that has me turned away. Tucked into a small shop in UES, I believe there are only 3-4 seats inside but it seems as though people often just sit there while they wait for their takeout order as this is mainly a takeout spot. Cash only, and the sushi is quite affordable, but be prepared to wait or call ahead (for reference we ordered the 7-roll maki combo and that took 30 minutes). For two people, the 7 maki roll combo was more than enough to fill us up. However, we were pretty disappointed by the taste. As we were trying each flavor, we knew something was missing, and we believe it was the lack of sushi vinegar! All the rolls we got either tasted too fishy or bland. Who knew the lack of sushi vinegar affected the taste so much with maki rolls? And for this reason alone, unfortunately we will not be returning for now. What we ordered: -7 maki combo (salmon skin, eel avocado, shrimp tempura, black pepper tuna, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and the red snapper cucumber) read more

Awesome cash only neighborhood joint! My partner and I were looking for a takeout lunch in the area and we're intrigued by sashimi express 2 given the ratings and prices we saw online. We walked in, placed our order on the cards, and got to watch the chefs at work. All in all, would give 5 stars for the value - it was a lot of food for a reasonable price. We both agreed the spicy crab was our favorite and the ikura was a delicious nigiri side. Would recommend if craving sushi in the area... just remember to bring cash! read more

It's a value sushi place and you really can't go wrong. There are days I know I can just make sushi myself and I _still_ come here because I know it's faster and cheaper to do so. It's no where close to pretty much any sushi you'd spend $50 on, but also for $25 you have enough food for two people. So no complaining there. Their spicy mix with fish is really good, especially with white fish. The sesame oil is very fragrant and tasty. The quality, despite the price, is still decent. I would definitely place it above what you would get at Walgreens or some Western Supermarket. And it's still 1/3 the price of what you'd pay at those places. Highly recommend. read more

What a fantastic spot to get fresh sushi! Man... I wish I had one of these in my neighborhood. Instead, all I get is Dominican food. :( I cam here for their sashimi platters and I went for the $28 Sashimi Platter # A1 Personal Tray: 25 pieces, 5 different fish. Truly delicious. Very fresh. Next time I'll definitely opt for the salmon platter, since it was by far my favorite. Recommended. read more

Wow! You really don't find sushi at this price anymore. Really impressed with Sashimi Express II. They have one table inside, so it really is takeout only. We got home 40+ minutes after leaving, and all the sushi was still super fresh and tasted great. It is cash only! Don't remember what we ordered specifically, but we ordered 9+ rolls and got 6 nigiris for $52 !!!!!! That's unheard of. Sushi pieces were a little small in contrast to your typcial rolls, but for how cheap the cost is you really can't complain. Will be back! 4.5/5 read more

We love Sashimi Express for the price, convenience, and portions! We usually order ahead through the phone and the order is ready for pickup within 30 minutes. For this price, the sushi is great and the salmon tray is really fresh. For two people, we get a seven roll special and a salmon tray - and that stuffs us! The staff is sweet and service is fast. The place is very small and has one two-person table. Make sure to bring cash. read more

Love this spot as well as their other location. Hole in the wall vibes offering fresh, affordable and good quality sushi. Don't even think about going anywhere else for your quick fix great quality sushi especially in this area! 3 roll combo (11ish dollars if you call it in or go there to order). Cash only! I always get the yellowtail scallion, spicy shrimp and eel avocado and it's a good mix of different fish and style rolls. The fish has always been fresh and the rice warm and sticky. The veggies have a very nice fresh crunch and the avocado buttery. Like i don't know what else you need from a place! Run, don't walk to sashimi express. The name might not sound the most japanese and at least some of the workers at this location are Chinese but as someone who generally prefers my japanese food to be done by Japanese cooks, this place gets a five stars from me and I will be coming back time and time and time again! read more

Great quality food for low prices if you go in person and use cash. I love their Salmon rolls! **do beware that if you order through DoorDash or another app that the prices are like 50% more than they would be in cash read more

What an absolute gem. 7 rolls for $24, 8 pieces per roll, and the fish is excellent quality. Oh and it's ready in 10 minutes. There is absolutely nothing more you could ask for. I guess you could ask for a sit down dining experience but that's not why you're here. They do have one table with two chairs and it worked just fine for us. We'll be back very, very soon. read more

So glad I found this hole in the wall takeout sushi place with great price and solid fish quality!! You can get 7 regular rolls for $25 (each roll comes with 8 small pieces) but they also have other options including sashimi. The salmon roll turned out to my favorite because I was pleasantly surprised by how rich and fresh the salmon was! Their eel avocado was tasty with appropriately ripe chunks of avocado, but just wished the eel to avocado ratio was higher. Their spicy yellowtail and spicy tuna rolls were pretty solid with a nice kick in flavor. The black pepper tuna also exceeded my expectations cause the tuna had a strong smoky and peppery flavor. You can order via phone or in person. On a busy Friday night we waited for about 30 mins for our food cause it was popping. Service was decent and it looked like a mom and pop shop. Note that they are cash only! Overall given the great price performance and quality food I see myself coming back for more! read more

I had the sushi tray with 48 pcs of sashimi for $50 which was pretty worth it. I shared with my boyfriend and we had leftovers because it was very filling.

Sashimi Express II - Salmon sashimi and nigiri kit and the three roll special - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Really tasty casual and affordable sushi spot!! I got the triple box which came with a spicy salmon, tuna, and spicy yellowfin roll and 3 sushi pieces. They were delicious and incredibly affordable. The staff were very friendly as well. It's a very small space with only a couple tables to sit in at the front, most of the place is just the kitchen and a small counter to order. And although the price was low, I will say though, the rolls definitely felt a bit smaller than other sushi places (but still tastes very fresh and delicious), so I think that's likely how they are able to keep their costs down. I love that though because then I can get more of a variety. Can't wait to come back! read more

Quick place to order some sushi to go! I ordered in the restaurant and it took about 10-15 minutes on a Friday night. I had the eel avocado, salmon and shrimp tempura rolls. All of them were great and the rolls weren't too ricey. Overall a nice place to pick up some simple sushi. Cash only! read more

Can't beat the price! Yellowtail jalapeño is a favorite for me. 7 rolls for $24.50! X

This place is CASH ONLY!! Sashimi Express is a great place to get the bang for your buck. It's insanely cheap and affordable with a lot of options for sushi - 3 rolls for $11.45 and 7 rolls for $24.75. My boyfriend and I were able to share the 7 rolls and felt so full. I would say this place was worth it because of their low prices, but not a place that you would expect to get the freshest and best sushi. If you're looking for something cheap and quick to eat on a budget, definitely find your way over here. read more

Easy spot in the UES for quick, fresh, cheap sushi. You can text your order ahead of time for a quick pick up.

Small portion and expensive! Ordered the jungle roll and only a few pieces. This is not recommended

Good hole in the wall with reasonable prices and good quality sushi in the expensive UES. We went there on a Friday night to place an order and it took around 20 minutes to be ready, so for next time I'll call and order over the phone so I don't have to wait in the cold, they don't have a waiting area inside. The place is cash only and don't have an ATM so be prepared. The quality of the fish was great, the rolls are small but I guess for the price it wasn't bad. between 6 to 8 pieces per roll, We had the $22.50 7 roll combo it turns around $25 with taxes. We went for Boston, shrimp tempura, Philadelphia, eel & avocado (bigger pieces with rice on the outside) and the scallion yellowtail (delicious fish) salmon (kinda smoky) and tuna. I would recommend and surely will continue coming. Next time I'll try their sashimi ( 2 pieces for $3.50) because the fish quality was really great. read more

Amazing value!! They have deals for rolls (3 for $10.45 or 7 for $22.95) and everything was delicious and fresh! There are 8 pieces per roll and it was very filling. I had the Alaskan, spicy salmon, and black pepper tuna cucumber rolls and everything was great. I ordered about 30 mins ahead and everything was ready when I got there. Will definitely be coming back here! Highly recommend! Cash only though read more

When I was in jail, I yelled "Free Me!" When I was invisible, "See Me!" But when I'm in Manhattan And I want to get fattened I yell for "Sushi from Sashimi!" Now you sashimi... now you don't. One of my fave spots in all of Manhattan for food. I'm not even *into* Sushi, but this is expert, dreamy, delicious, otherworldly sushi that's so cheap, it feels like it's being given away. I mean, the subway here might seriously cost you more than your Sushi. This is legitimately some of the best - and also cheapest - Sushi I've ever had... So imagine my shock that it is located in the fanciest part of Upper East Side Manhattan. It's takeout only and I can see why, because this is absolutely phenomenal spectacular sushi at bargain-basement prices, and it's made to order, it's beautifully prepared, and tastes nothing less than perfect. And one of the coolest guys is making it for you - so this is one of my top choices in the upper half of Manhattan for dinner. And if you think you can go through a sushi roll from here quickly... you should Shimi do it. And remember... If the President came on your dress Or if your Dad sounds like Rudolf Hess (mine does, ew) Stop watching "I Love Lucy" And come with me for Sushi From NY's best: Sashimi Express! read more

Okay everyone needs to temper down with the 5 star reviews. I get it, extremely cheap sushi, fresh fish, yes I'll give you both of those points. However, think about what you're paying for. I ordered a triple box, and chose the spicy option. Spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, spicy yellowtail roll, salmon nigiri, tuna nigiri, and yellowtail nigiri. The rolls were small, but definitely filling. My major negative was that the rolls had like a tempura crunch/rice crispy almost type ingredient, and so you lose out on more fish in favor of this ingredient (makes sense why it's so cheap). Although I like different textures, this did not help it. One other odd thing I noticed was that the seaweed was abnormally chewy, something I've only experienced with cheap sushi. Rice was good, fish fine, although I honestly couldn't tell the difference between any of the three rolls because of the spicy mayo. The three nigiri were decent. However, the fish to rice ratio was way off- too much rice and a very small sliver of fish. Again, the rice was good, just terrible ratio. Listen at the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and for the UES...$14 for that much sushi, call it a day. (However, in my opinion, if you want hole in the wall sushi on the UES...go with Roy's Fish Market at 63rd and 1st instead. read more

I'm so glad I decided to try this place! It's a small hole in the wall/take out sushi joint that's great for when you're craving sushi, but don't want to spend $$$ Looks like they're most known for their 3 rolls for $9.50 or 7 rolls for $21 deal, but I opted for the salmon box combo - salmon roll, spicy salmon roll, and 4 pieces of salmon sushi or sashimi I was so impressed with the quality of fish for the price! The rolls are definitely on the smaller side, which I actually prefer! There wasn't a lot of rice, which is another plus for me. Hate when there's way too much rice compared to fish. As I was leaving, I read that all spicy rolls come with crunch topping mixed in. So make sure to ask for without it if you don't want that. It was kind of a weird filling for me. That was the only thing I didn't like! Other than that, great spot for affordable sushi/rolls !! **CASH only read more

Amazing hole-in-the-wall. Nothing beats cheap, tasty sushi. I was a bit skeptical about the sashimi platters, seeing as they're only twenty bucks, but the salmon sashimi platter was heavenly. So buttery and fresh! My friend and I also split the seven rolls for $21 deal, and we FEASTED. It's incredible how much quality sushi and sashimi we devoured for just $45. I wiiiiiisshhh I lived closer to this joint because I'd be here every damn day. read more

Sashimi Express II will be the reason that I move to the UES and it will be the place for all my sushi cravings. This place is CASH ONLY! They do not have an ATM on site. Beware! Do not make the mistake of leaving cash at home when you could trade in less than $10 for an awesome sushi lunch. Sashimi Express II is a hole in the wall restaurant by a barber shop. It's tucked away and it has been one of the gems I've found recently on the UES. Sashimi Express II offers only takeout and it is perfect for those lunch or dinners at home or outside at a park. They offer tons of rolls but what is absolute ~insanity~ about this place is how cheap everything is. You can get 3 rolls for $9 or 7 rolls for $21. They also have a ton of different platters that feature rolls of fresh fish and sashimi. For example their Salmon Box is about $13 which includes a salmon roll, 4 salmon sashimi and a spicy salmon roll. You can NOT get these prices anywhere else in New York City. We got the Salmon box and the 3/9 deal. The fresh salmon was really good and buttery. The salmon roll was delicious! Overall, highly highly recommend this place. read more

I believe this spot is owned by the same people that run Sashimi Ramen Express. which is only 4 blocks and one avenue away from this location so I find it interesting that they're operating two locations this close to each other. Nevertheless, still great sushi deals you will not find elsewhere. What more can you want from a hole in the wall spot in UES? I got the Salmon Box for $11 and a Triple Box for $14 to feed two of us. Cash only btw. read more
