Very interesting place that reminds me of a movie. Very much a green hole in the wall with an antiquated interior that cuts to the chase. Staff is attentive and food is made to order. Wait time for takeaway is less than 10 minutes. Rainbow roll was good. Definitely not too tier but definitely satisfied the craving. Fish tasted good and the portion was perfect. The wasabi was greener than the interior walls :). If I was passing by and craving cheap sushi. I would come here again read more

Miso Soup was a 2 out of 10 (how does anyone screw up Miso Soup?). Hand roll and specialty roll I ordered, absolute garbage. Wouldn't feed it to a dog. 1 bite of each and threw it out. Dumplings were equivalent to gas station food. Powdered dollar store quality wasabi. Old half dried out ginger. Seaweed salad is better from Costco. Nothing was fresh, the rice was not sushi rice, this might be the worst sushi spot in NYC, OR maybe I'm just use to better quality sushi. Idk but I was so put off that I was compelled to leave this review. I don't want to screw with their rating so I'm giving it a 3 but it's a NEGATIVE 3. read more

Came on a Friday lunchtime and there was no wait. Came for a quick lunch break. Solid sushi and tastes great for the price. Ordered the lunch special two rolls for $9.95 plus salad/miso soup, except we didn't receive the miso soup. The rolls were made to order so the sweet potato roll was fresh and crispy. It did take us 15 mins to be served which was a little inconvenient with our time crunch but I'm glad the sushi was made fresh. read more

Here's the thing about Sushi 21. It doesn't try to be anything other than exactly what it is: a bare-bones, regular, reasonably priced sushi place. It's not fancy. It's not this week's trendiest spot, and it's not Nobu. Tonight, I was catching a movie with a friend, and he wanted to get a quick, inexpensive bite on our way. This did the trike and hit the spot. And to be honest, I've been on a Tekka Don (raw tuna over a bed of rice) for a few months. Now, I've paid $30 for this, and ordered from some of the best. And, I gotta say, the Tekka Don here for under $10, at first had me concerned. But it was fresh, and in some ways, better than ones I've paid a lot for. It was a nice dinner. No complaints. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now. I have seen the same people working here and they have always been wonderful! I'm surprised to see negative reviews! The service, and food is great! I mean, it's not Sushi Nakazawa with 4 $$$$. But come on. Besides the fact, I have always felt so comfortable in this place. Whenever I am craving some delicious affordable sushi, I always come to Sushi 21. The prices are great and I've never had a bad tasting meal. The sushi is exceptionally clean and flavorful. I usually order the sashimi and I am never disappointed. Their rice is always soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Plus, this little hidden nook is what this city is all about. I will forever continue to come back to this place! read more

Extreme late day 5pm lunch, hunger pangs strike hard where I claim my native Asian cuisine. Sushi 21 sits on 21st Street / 7th Avenue in Chelsea where sushi galore inhabits as well as Bento Box. My all-time favorite Bento Box has been skimmed as it does not contain shrimp, only Gyoza, white rice of my chicken Tonkatsu at $6.95. Fresh and plentiful for lunch, nevertheless I inhaled the whole thing for seating is ample. Service is efficient but rather stolid of a hostile environment to customers. Seating is clean in a brightly lit atmosphere. Japanese magazines and newspapers inhabit the shelves. read more

The art on the outside and inside of the building is beautiful. Smaller than it looks on the inside, decent menu, with both classic and "fun" rolls. Prices are average, I'd say overall a decent place for sushi although I could not attest to how fresh the sashimi is as I did not have any. I do wish it was a little cooler inside, maybe their air conditioning was broken. The waitress did not automatically bring us any water to drink, and there was a child sleeping on the bar stools up front, but then again we were the only people in there so the waitress and staff were probably not at the top of their game. I'd go back though and try other things on the menu. read more

A great little sushi joint. One of my main places to buy sushi. The food is quite cheap compared to most places. Their chicken and beef teriyaki tastes great and the sushi is always freshly made when ordered. It's also very quiet usually so it's great for a calm atmosphere when eating. One of my favorite things (because it tastes wonderful and looks very appealing) is the Spicy Tuna over Crispy Rice which is an appetizer. read more

Fair is fair here! What's nice about this place is that it's not a restaurant with waiter service that expects tip. And besides, most sushi bars around NYC are a bit pricey, but with $10 here you can get a decent meal. The lunch deals have a nice price and portion with 2-classic roll, 3-classic roll deal, and bento box. The quality is not bad and it was a little better than okay (in that bit good area). Katsu chicken bento box did not disappoint me. The salad was refreshing, the gyoza and california was a bit small (I'm kind of a big dude), katsu chicken was delicious. Overall a nice meal to eat. Gotta get the 3-roll deal for lunch next time! read more

I recently 'got into' sushi back in March so take this as you will. I had a Shrimp Tempura Roll and a NY Roll. Combining the decent service, reasonable(for the area) pricing and the NY Roll, I'd have given Sushi 21 3 stars. I'm detracting a star, however for the not-so-great presentation of the Shrimp Tempura. If I'm eating Shrimp Tempura by the piece I won't mind biting the shrimp off the tail, but I'm thinking a roll would go better without the tail. I shouldn't have to deconstruct a roll to eat it. Overall, I'd go back; the place is clean if a bit cramped and with the crowd I'd say they have regulars so they must be doing something right, but the Shrimp Tempura isn't it. read more

I used to come here for lunch a few years ago and, at that time, I would say, it was probably 3 to 4 stars. You know, it was decent; not too amazing, but it was OK. It was a solid place. I told coworkers about it. But I recently ate here, as well as a several months ago like six months ago and I have to say the quality has gone way down. I really do not recommend. I'm kind of writing this review to remind myself not to come here anymore. For instance, I think the salad used to have tomatoes and a few other vegetable ingredients. Now it's just chopped iceberg lettuce. I guess if what you're looking for is the cheap Chinese food of Japanese restaurants, then you're in the right place. If not, there's another Japanese restaurant right up the street on 7th, called Momoya. And there is Ennju on 16th near Union Sq. Both of those are delicious and worth every penny. There's also Go Go Curry (Japanese curry) on 19th. Sad this place has gone downhill. read more

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit.

Got the following dishes: - Hotate (seared scallop) carpaccio (4.5/5) - Chicken nanban (3.5/5) - Kimchi cream udon (4/5) - Mew special roll (4.5/5) - Mochi ice cream (3.5/5) Food came out very quickly, and service was good! Since the restaurant was very busy and had a wait from the moment we entered and left, this is definitely a restaurant you'd spend 1 - 1.5 hr max at with the high table turnover (so avoid if you want a quiet date night). Overall, Izakaya Mew has been a reliable staple for years and will likely continue to be with its great food quality and lively ambiance. (4.5/5)

A very very small restaurant with minimal seating. This is definitely one of those local casual…read moretype sushi restaurants that you would bring a date or a friend. There is very very minimal seating, not a lot of space for parties greater than 2. Sushi came out quick and was decent. There was only one server lady for the whole place, so service was a bit slow but she was very nice.

We stopped here for lunch ordered their roll special and had a pretty decent meal. Can't say this…read moreis a place worth coming to area for, but if you are already there, and craving sushi, this will scratch that itch. It's a tiny place with maybe 6 tables, and a sushi bar with two chefs hard at work. Everything was tasty, for an everyday type of sushi. The highlight for us was definitely the spicy scallop, but this is not a place you go to celebrate an occasion.

The food here is exceptional and the handrolls are the star of the show. The fish in all the dishes…read moreI had not only melted in my mouth but the different sauces and garnishes on each one added intriguing depth to each bite. They serve the handrolls with the nori still wrapped in plastic such that there is a 0% chance the nori will lose any of that addicting first-bite crunch you get when diving in. My favorite handroll was the A5 wagyu one, not because I think I'm supposed to like everything wagyu but rather that the beef itself melted in my mouth and very few sushi places I've been to offering wagyu handrolls or nigiri actually accomplish that. All of the final three handrolls in the signature handroll set in particular were aburi and the charred taste on each of them brought things to a whole other dimension. The service was kind, friendly, humorous at times, and super fast. They were maybe too fast such that I felt a bit rushed, but it's probably because we came in at 3:15pm, just before lunch final call, so that is to be expected I suppose. I do wish they had more beer options and a couple of cocktail options, but other than that this place is nearly perfect. I'd like to come back to try the rest of their menu.

We had a reservation here for a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. We arrived around our…read morereserved time and was greeted by the person at the front desk whom also took our jackets which is a nice gesture. We were seated at the bar to get the full experience of the omaskase as that's what we were going to order that night. It was fairly busy that night and fairly small inside. The tables sit behind the sushi bar and are fairly close to it. We did the Sushiro Omakase which comes with a few appetizers to start with, some nigiri, a few handrolls, and dessert to finish it off. They also have a drink (alcohol and non-alcohol selection) to choose from. The fish quality for the most part was very good. My favorites were the chu toro, wagyu, and uni. The cod was pretty exceptional as well. As each piece came out the chef explained which each nigiri or handroll was made out of it or the type of fish. At times it was pretty hard to hear him since the chef was more soft spoken. There is another waiter that checks in on you and offers refills. We were pretty lucky that the chef gave us another handroll on the house. You can also order a la carte one your are done with the Omakase. Overall a great handroll and omakase. You can sit down and really take your time to enjoy the fish or be in and out. It's not an establishment that forces either. We never felt that rushed to leave once we were done. There are also some asian candies you can grab on the way out as well!
