I love the concept of this spot -- all you can eat for an affordable price! But it felt pretty clear that 1. You're rushed and 2. The quality of the food decreases the more you order. The larger the quantity requested, the more salt/sodium was tucked into the sushi. We had someone in the group order 6 pieces and someone else order 20, and the person who ordered 6 immediately tasted the difference between the two servings. I understand wanting to make money on customers, but I'd rather pay more and not leave feeling sick from the soy sauce drenched sushi

I made the reservation about 2 days before and still got to chef counter spots. Very cute set up! There's about 3-4 chefs for 20 ish guests. Everyone was talking and eating at the same time so sometimes it's hard to hear what the chef was describing the course. It's so fun though to watch how he rolled each and put it in front of you. This is my first omakase experience and I was very excited since it's in NYC. I was definitely full at the end since there were 3 rounds of AYCE on top of the 14 courses. The fish quality was good but for what I was paying, I was expecting a bit of caviar. There was one course with foie gras though and it was delicious.

My LAST round. The chef kept offering more but I could only make room for 1 wagyu and 1 otoro.

$98 for omakase + miso soup + all you can drink sake and beer + 3 rounds of AYCE lean tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu. What deal is better than this? Not only is this a VALUE meal, but the service and ambiance pair perfectly with it. The chef was so generous with the nigiri and kept offering MORE! I wish my stomach could handle more but I just couldn't. We had a great time and loved all the pieces we tried! Def save room for the otoro! My favorite pieces were the salmon belly w/ foie gras and otoro!

Akami/lean tuna

Don't know why the ratings are low but I went yesterday 4/2/2026 had chef Alan serving us and everything tasted amazing and the fish was high quality. Probably the better AYCE omakase I've had in the city and chef Alan really made the experience for us too. The omakase course was so good, it wasn't gimmicky, it highlighted the quality of the fish, and most were melt in your mouth. The only piece I wasn't a big fan of was the maki piece - not sure if it has radish in the middle but I think they should've kept the soft texture versus adding a crunchy bit just my opinion. The AYCE round? WOW yeah their lean tuna is one of the best I've had in the city and the quality of the fish per round was so good. For the sake, def recommend the Takara Plum Wine if you like it on the sweeter end. Not pictured but yes, they give you miso soup. Coming back here next big back meal!

Pretty affordable all you can eat and drink omakase -- I thought it was good but not amazing. There's a time limit as well, so by the end it felt like we got rushed out a bit. A few of the fish pieces felt slightly fishy to me, and were under salted/not enough flavor. I also wish the rice was warmer! Green tea tasted like water. I liked the eel, toro handroll, seared salmon, and wagyu pieces the best! The sushi chefs and servers were sweet.

Date night or outting with friends? This place is the spot The unlimited beer and sake is great. The plum wine however, absolutely delicious. I was hesitant to come here after reading some of the reviews. But after coming and having fantastic service. Those people were never to be pleased. I'll be back here for my next New York trip without a doubt.

This was a delicious omakase course! Not only do you start off trying different delicious nigiris, at the end it is an AYCE lean tuna, fatty tuna, and Japanese Wagyu steak nigiri. In addition, the sake and beer is also included and all you can drink! The chef we had was very nice and personal. We sat up at the bar so the space was tight but worth it for the experience. Would definitely go back!

Bianca C.

An amazing experience! What a great omakase experience. The chef's were so nice and kept giving us extra of our favorite pieces, the A5 with uni was incredible, as well as the mackerel was definitely one of my favorite bites, cannot wait to come back again

Nikolo M.

The toro and wagyu were outstanding--definitely the highlights of the meal. Drinks were also very good. Great experience overall. Chef David was super funny! highly recommend.

Otoro Tuna

Genuinely fantastic experience. Fish was great, service was great. And the best part of it all was our Sushi chef David. He was so pleasant, friendly and definitely funny. Will 100% come back to this location, and David made sure of that.

This place feels very gimmicky. The quality was mediocre. You get 14 pieces omakase and then 3 rounds of unlimited all you can eat. The quality was also very inconsistent to the point I felt like I was just eating rice. The unlimited toro was paper thin and stringy on a glop of rice. They charge 10 dollar per piece penalty for anything not eaten so I forced it all down even though the quality was lacking. The alcoholic drinks are unlimited but for non drinker it is disappointing since the only non alcoholic option they have available is green tea.

We were in NYC for the weekend and were able to make a reservation for a Friday evening. We arrived a few minutes before the seating, checked in and waited outside until it was time. We reserved for seats at the bar, which I highly recommend as it allows you to interact with the sushi chefs and eat each piece as they make it! We loved all of the dishes of the omakase, especially the otoro. We ordered multiple pieces of the AYCE round at the end, saving our stomachs for the fatty tuna (toro) and Wagyu. The meal also comes with unlimited drinks so we got to try all 4 Japanese sakes and wines and my favorite was the plum wine, which was sweet tasting. Cost ended up being around $200-220 for 2 people (ballpark because I think my partner paid). Would definitely recommend for delicious fish and fun experience overall.

Sweet shrimp
Andrew M.

My girlfriends first omakase and it was a success! We arrived 20 mins early for our reservation so we sat down at the bench by the window while the earlier time slot finished up. Once it was closer to our start time, the hostess brought us to our seats. Alcoholic drinks (beer and sake) were included in the price and can be continuously refilled. We really liked the plum sake, it was sweet as advertised. All the pieces that were selected today were delicious. Our favorite pieces were definitely the sea bass, salmon, shrimp, and eel. You can really taste how fresh it was! There were 12 sushi pieces, a miso soup, a mochi, and 3 AYCE rounds where you let the staff know how many of each piece you want. We opted for 4 lean tuna, 8 fatty tuna, and 8 wagyu sushis each and it was definitely enough for us to feel satisfied but not overstuffed to the point where we didnt enjoy the food. The fish wasnt too thin and the rice wasnt too large, it was still a good proportion. There were only two chefs and around 15-20 guests so we didnt get to converse with our chef but overall it was still a great experience. We spoke to our chef towards the end and he said his favorite pieces are the shrimp and scallop! The chef was really nice and gave my girlfriend an extra item with salmon and scallops (her favorite pieces) because of her birthday! Would definitely recommend this place as an entry to the omakase experience.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh fish quality, great value all-you-can-eat, and friendly, attentive staff. The unlimited sake and drinks are also popular.

Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

price - $87 per person pre tax…read more food - 5/5 service - 5/5 ambiance - 5/5 I got the chance to try out Sanyuu West for my birthday and I had such an amazing time! from the moment I stepped into the restaurant, the waiters were super sweet and attentive to my friend and I. the courses kept coming out and each piece was super tender and bursting with flavor! my favorite was definitely the uni, toro, and wagyu on milk bread course! I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!! (props to them) the ambiance inside was also super calm and vibey. overall, I had such an amazing time and I would love to go again soon

We got the corn ribs, pork tenderloin katsu, and the mackerel sushi. The corn came out first and omg - this is some of the best corn I have ever tasted. The seasoning on it is so perfect sweet savory and so addicting! Best item by far. The katsu was also perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, without feeling too greasy. It was quite a tiny portion but it's nyc lol. The only item we didn't love was the sushi - for me it was just a bit too much ginger and wasabi and since it was pressed it was already a part of the sushi so it was hard to separate.

Stopped here for dinner on a Saturday on a whim and was so happy with our choice! We walked in and…read morewere seated right away. It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here!

This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve…read morefood, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
