    The chef was incredibly friendly and professional, and the staff were veey responsive ensuring everyones drinks were topped off and clean plates and silverware were always available. The sushi was as good as eating in Japan, which is an incredibly high standard rarely found in the US.

    This place offers good sushi in a cozy neighborhood location. The fish quality is always good and they have a wide variety as well. Usually we are able to get seated quickly if we come early in the evening.

    Came here for lunch to celebrate my wife's birthday. We went for the 15 piece Omakase. Service was very good and the food was excellent. I would recommend this place.

    Really enjoyed the omakase at this former hotpot place which is a pretty good omakase deal, and the ease of getting a table surprisingly on a Saturday night. Fresh, top-of-the-line fish and such a straightforward menu which I love. Not rushing back as it wasn't wildly creative or interesting, but definitely a delicious, reliable, well-priced sushi meal in the best neighborhood

    Amazing experience! It was like a whole show - this made our evening! Taste, presentation, ambience- everything was great. Thank you Chef! We will be coming back every time we are in NYC

    Omakase Nigiri part 2
    Tess C.

    I love a good omakase and we walked past this place randomly one night and it looked so cute inside so we very easily booked a reservation for 8 pm that Saturday (they literally had every single time slot open). We were seated right away and were offered a table at the side of the restaurant or seats at the sushi bar. My regret of the evening was not sitting at the sushi bar counter, I think that takes the experience from good to great being able to see the chefs create each piece and put each bite in front of you. Instead our 15 piece omakase ($100) was served in two "courses" and made it a little bit less special. I was also a little disappointed the meal didn't come with dessert or anything to sort of "finish it off" the way I've had at other omakase places. For $100 a person I do want to feel like it is a really special experience, which i think this place lacked. The other reason I knocked a star was the unbelievably obnoxious table of men next to us who were screaming the entire evening, being rude, making crude comments, and not once did the staff say anything to them. It sort of ruined our experience unfortunately. I will likely come back to give this place another try.

    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. So glad we found this place! Did the 15 piece Omakase for $100 and then ordered an extra piece of CA uni (omakase came with Maine Uni), which blew my mind away, and then a spicy scallop hand roll (omakase came with a tuna hand roll, which was delicious), which was also delicious and had a nice crunch to it. Especially loved that it was BYOB! $10 corkage fee per person. Also was impressed by the wood of the sushi bar. Will definitely be coming back here frequently! Highly recommend.

    A quiet, hidden gem that delivers on its sushi. Come here now! Here's what you need to know about Sushi 456: 1. The nigiri specials and lunch specials have a decent amount of food and fresh fish. The omakase is also a pretty good deal at $100. 2. I say this as someone who has done a handful of omakases: THIS IS THE BEST EEL NIGIRI IN NYC. 3. The staff are some of the nicest people. 4. Cute minimalist space. Overall, it's just excellent sushi, especially for the price point and being in the West Village. If you like eel, go here now!

    I cannot say enough good things about my family's experience at Sushi 456! It was my family's first omakase experience and Lin, the owner and our chef at the bar was amazing. We sat next to two different groups of regulars that clearly return here because of the hospitality and intimacy. He toasted with us for my birthday and was so kind!! We did the 10 piece omakase which was so fresh and delicious. Every bite was simple but so tasty! All of the fish melted in my mouth and it was impossible to choose a favorite. We will definitely be returning for the service and coziness of the restaurant!

    Omakase Nigiri
    Jackie L.

    If you want a casual experience with ok sushi, this place is not bad. Ingredients are fresh and service is good. $70 for the Omakase Nigiri (10 piece + 1 hand roll) is considered relatively affordable for omakase. The sushi are served in 2 plates of 5 pieces each - this is NOT your typical Omakase experience. I wasn't impressed by the sushi. They are uneven in size and some pieces are tiny. The rice is a bit hard / potentially undercooked. And too much soy sauce makes the sushi taste salty. For me the cheaper price point doesn't justify coming here again. There are plenty of good restaurants that offer under $100 omakase experience and high quality sushi. This is not one of them.

    Horrible "Omakase" Experience
    James W.

    The service is horrendous here! My friends and I came here on a weekday night. There were empty tables, so it wasn't too busy. The nice thing about this place is that it's BYOB (no corkage fee) and there's a liquor store across the street. We brought 2 bottles of wine and decided to order the Omakase. Their "Omakase" included 15 pieces of Nigiri and a handroll for $100. Our table of 4 decided to all go-in on this. So, for Omakase, I'm used to sitting at the bar and watch the sushi chef make the pieces in front of me. It's also nice being able to engage in some small conversation. I'm also used to getting one piece at a time. At Sushi 456, we were seated at a table (not at the bar) and was served all the pieces over two plates. This was definitely not the type of Omakase experience I'm used to (or what most New Yorkers are used to). It might as well have just been called a "sushi platter of 15 pieces" on their menu. The worst part of the dinner experience was that we had just finished our "Omakase" and was just finishing up our last bottle of wine. Not even 90 minutes into the dinner, the waitress came over to our table and told us that another group was waiting. We had just paid a $500 bill. We weren't even there for that long and there was another table that was also finishing up. From reading other reviews, it doesn't seem like this was a one-off incident. In general, it's not great hospitality to be rushed through (a pricey) dinner. The service was severely lacking and the experience was definitely not one I'd consider a traditional Omakase experience. I would not recommend this place.

    Bonito with garlic chip
    Caroline D.

    Was a little afraid when we walked in at 6:45pm and were the only people in the restaurant. As soon as we sat, we began our journey of super fresh and delicious sushi. (And the place quickly filled up...) I got the 10 piece omakase + hand roll ($70) and my husband got the 15 piece omakase + hand roll ($100). Everything was so good, we ordered seconds of certain fish after our omakase was over. The standouts were the bonito with a crispy garlic chip on top, the king salmon quickly torched and brushed with wasabi and soy, and the toro hand roll which had scallions and Japanese yellow pickles chopped into it giving it a nice crunch. The eel avocado also had a surprising little crunch of a couple hidden small rice balls underneath. There were garnishes such as a little tiny pieces of shiso, some yuzu or a brush of soy, but nothing was overpowering. All done very very lightly to let the fish shine through. The rice was also pleasantly different from most sushi places I've been. Our hot tea and water were continuously filled to the top. Excellent service and friendly sushi chefs. Will absolutely return!

    A brand new but old style sushi restaurant. You won't find sou sauce or California rolls at this place. If you're not a sushi aficionado I don't appreciate what these chefs can you give you. Don't expect a lot of creativity with Omakasa each dish is just one piece of sushi. 10 piece and one roll for $70 or 15 piece and one roll for $100. I don't have a liquor license yet which works great for me because he prepared to bring your own bottle of sake which saves you lots of money. Services fabulous reservations are recommended I will definitely be back. The only dish I didn't like was the octopus and the shrimp everything else was amazing. Even a wagu beef.

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. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.
