You like old school interior and fresh sushi? If you do, this place is for you. In the late 90's this midtown sushi restaurant was right next door to Tse Yang. They were the midtown one-two punch with great high end food for their respective regions. Sushisay (old name for Japanese and Tse Yang (upscale Chinese). Tse Yang has since closed their doors, but this place under a new name (Sushiann) is still going. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised how fresh the sushi was. We had a warm greeting from the sushi chefs and great service by the servers. While it wasn't busy, which surprised me, the food soared and it was a pleasure to eat the fresh toro to Santa Barbara uni. Scallops were amazing and the mochi ice cream in the end sealed the deal. Ambience is old school...with the interior the same as it was 20 years ago. The sushi? Fresh, amazing and with great flavor. If you try this place, revel in the history but don't forget to appreciate the great food as well. read more

Great atmosphere, it is a very unique and individualized experience where the staff attend to clients closely. They made us feel that we are almost haing the restaurant by ourselves. The quality of service was great. The food was good but I must say I have had better quality fish in some of the other top sushi omakase spots. Their sake menu was not as extensive as I was expecting. Overall a great restaurant. read more

Sushi-Ann Restaurant - The dessert! - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Everything I ate was super tasty! Even including the Monaca ice cream. This is prob my fav sushi place in NY! read more

Wonderful staff, especially Carlos who greeted us warmly and didn't hesitate to accept us when we were turned down by the Lobster Club nearby due to "unacceptable dress code" wearing warm sweatpants in the cold wintry NYC weather (visiting from sunny SoCal). That just set the right mood from the beginning. The 15-piece Omakase selection was excellent and delicious including two types of uni, toro, aji, buri, kinmen, hirame, etc. Two of my favorites, hamachi belly and salmon belly were not included probably bc they were available year round. Happy to see they had my favorite Junmai Dai Ginjo (Dassai) tho! The Somen wrapped shrimp tempura was very original and unbelievable! Really appreciated the warm hospitality from the beginning and the ordering process and being super attentive to customers throughout which is something you see more in Asia than here in the States! read more

Ate here for omakase. Everything was perfect. The selection of fish was more unique and based on seasonality. I am not a huge fan of squid, but this experience made me like squid sushi. Also, our chef was really nice! I forgot his name, but I dropped my uni from the plate to the eating plate because I wanted to take a photo of it, but he was so nice and put it right side up. I will say, people with huge appetites will probably leave hungry, so take that as you will, but personally, I didn't mind the portions. read more

Never heard about this place but turned out it's been around for a while. Went there Monday lunch, it's very empty because I showed up at 1.30pm. Service is neat, I don't know how the server hold the ceramic tea cup because I can't even touch it for solid 15 mnts but she can do it flawlessly LOL I have no food allergy and restriction. That's why I wanna do omakase. Bring it on and I will eat it. The scallop is so so sweet, that's how fresh is the fish. The quality of the fish is excellent. Have to order a side of sushi rice on the side and please have miso soup after u are done with your meal read more

This spot was so wonderful! Our waiter was so kind and took us through each fish and its origin. I highly recommend the 15 piece Omakase. Each fish was fresh and clean. My favorite pieces were the botan ebi, toro, golden eyed snapper, green eyes, amberjack, octopus, and uni. The only piece I didn't care for was the mackerel. read more

Wonderful . Chef was fantastic . The sushi was terrific - good pace and knowledgeable chef . Great quiet ambiance . It was like an escape from the city and we enjoyed it very much . Will definitely come here again . read more

Freshness and quality of the fish is top notch here. This is a traditional Edo sushi and they are expertly made. Don't come here expecting to get a Philadelphia roll or some other non-traditional sushi. Although they have excellent sushi, they are otherwise quite unremarkable, which is why I took off a star. The interior is clean but very plain. Maybe that's the point. You come here for the fish. But at the end of the day, in modern dining, we eat with our eyes as well as our mouth. I think this place is most appropriate for a nice, expensive lunch. Personally, for dinner, especially with clients or a date, I would find some place with better interior. read more

I had a midweek crave for sushi so I made a stop at Sushi Ann! There were only a few tables available outdoor, and the heater wasn't really working so well, but I did appreciate the wait staff trying to adjust it and making sure they did what they could with what they had. I ordered sushi a la carte - getting some of my usual favorites like uni/sea urchin, toro/fatty tuna, king salmon, amberjack, ebi/shrimp and tamago/egg. The sushi quality was decent, but don't expect this to be your 2-michelin stars type of sushi joint - you pay for what you get. Service was prompt and courteous, and the bill ended up to be about $100 before tips (including 10 pieces of sushi and a beer). I would recommend this for a quick sushi fix if you are in the midtown neighborhood. read more

The fishes are very fresh and tasty. This time we tried $145 Omakase sushi and Sashimi. Next time we will try $180 chef's tasting menu, should be more sushi. This is pretty good portion, because is evening, we didn't want to see a lot. It's good price. Should try read more

so over priced and not worth it they tricked us into getting the most expensive and least flavorful rolls. Do not go here avoid at all costs because you'll be out $300 for the worst sushi ever. read more

I was truly shocked to see that the reviews for this restaurant were as high as they were. I decided to eat here after I was in the neighborhood and looking for a good sushi spot. I was so extremely disappointed. The take our sushi I order to my apartment for $20 was better than this $150 omakase. Fish was average, rice was cold. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the staff and service was lovely. Don't waste your time on the food though. read more

Food was delicious. I love sushi and this sushi was so fresh and memorable. It is not your typical sushi place with shrimp tempura rolls and dragon rolls lol. They offer shushimi and sushi. Expensive but worth a try read more

Not sure what to expect here. Ate ten pieces of sushi and can't remember a single bite? Went to get another meal elsewhere as I was very hungry by then. read more

Made reservations for 6:30 pm for dinner but we were running late so I called to move the res for 7 and explained to them that we were trying to make a show. Not only did they move my reservation but they took my order for omikase in advance so they can have it ready for us when we got there. The sushi was some of the best sushi I've had and the service was excellent. We were also able to make our show. Great experience! read more

This is the best sushi restaurant in midtown east, hands down. If you're up for a treat, ask for Chef Warare's omakase. He lights up the sushi bar. read more

Anyone who is not giving this place five stars is not eating at the omakase counter. This is the best east midtown sushi lunch! They have chefs who've worked in many places in the city. Pretty great selection of hikarimono and more interesting fish ... especially for a place that largely caters to the lunch crowd. Love the clam miso, I hope they bring it back! read more

We went here for lunch for omakase, and the quality was so incredibly amazing. The service was outstanding and the chef was engaging. The Uni selection was wonderful. Definitely recommend and I'll be there again soon. read more

Exceptional and authentic sushi experience. The quality of this fish and the manner in which it was prepared and presented was outstanding. A culinary delight! read more

Stay away. This is place is a joke of a restaurant. Long waits and inconsistent quality.

Very fresh and tasty sushi. The miso soup has a lot of mushrooms in it, which made it unique. It was light and refreshing, just enough to get our appetites up. Price is definitely on the higher side ($30-40 for an entree) but it's understandable considering its location and the people it's catering to. On a weekday lunchtime, most people were in suits and there seemed to be a lot of business lunches going on. The place got packed pretty fast but it's pretty spacious so it didn't get too loud. Service is fast but friendly and unintrusive. Would recommend for a friendly business lunch! read more

Sushi-Ann Restaurant - Sushi special $32 - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Help! I'm in midtown, on expense account, and sushi yasuda is full. Where to go for lunch? Sushi Ann of course! Sushi is tasty here. Not of yasuda quality but lovely all the same. So why only two stars if sushi Ann is a convenient alternative to yasuda?!? Pretty appalling service. We were here for a business lunch and after 1 hour, while sipping our tea we were told not once but twice that the table was reserved, and we had to leave. Yasuda is strict about this too, but they give you 1 hour and 15! I obviously need to find a sushi backup in midtown and sushi Ann is not the place. If you are in a hurry, I guess you should give sushi Ann a whirl. Otherwise, for the price ($75 a head at lunch ++++ ), there are much better options. read more

We called the restaurant at 11:15 a.m. for a lunch reservation at 12pm on the same day and were told that we must be done by 12:45 p.m. Sushi Deluxe comes with 8 pieces of nigiri, 6 pieces of tuna roll and 2 pieces of california roll. Everything was good, but not outstanding. The only thing that stood out and memorable was the akagai (arc shell clam). The rice tasted a little dry and didn't have enough flavor. While everything was fresh and the presentation was nice, you get the feeling that they reserve the top quality stuff at a higher price point. However, the $28 they charged for what we received isn't a particularly cheap price, and it is certainly possible to find other sushi places in the area that offers better quality for a similar price. The service was good and efficient, and we finished our food by the 12:45 p.m. read more

Sushi-Ann Restaurant - Sushi deluxe - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

We snuck in here Friday at 12:15 for lunch and were able to get a table for 3! What the other reviews have said is true.. Its definitely a business lunch place.. There were people in suits everywhere. The atmosphere was a little bit sterile, but reasonable for a traditional Japanese sushi place. There were 8 sushi chefs on duty at the time, and the place was bustling the whole time we were there. I got the omakase for lunch and it had excellent variety and flavor. The fish was all very fresh and the portion size very reasonable. The rice was on the softer side and had an excellent taste and consistency. The omakase comes with fresh ground wasabi, while most other dishes come with the normal paste wasabi (which of course has a little more kick). This place hit my fix for fresh and high quality sushi during this last trip in New York. My only qualm about the place is that the service is a bit slow. We were seated at a table (which of course isn't the best way to go omakase), and we ended up waiting a good while before the sushi came out.. and when it did come out, it was all out.. The place was a little pricy, but definitely within reason. This place is up there on my list for expensive sushi. read more

Sushi-Ann is a little out of my league in terms of price, but I came here because of a relative's suggestion. So to Sushi-Ann I went for lunch on a busy pre-holiday weekday..... It's a relatively quiet corner of Midtown near Rockefeller Center, so there's not too much going on along this stretch of 51st. The service here is very amiable and helpful, akin to most eatery service in Japan. Unlike a lot of sushi places in San Francisco, it was refreshing to feel a more authentic vibe in the air with Japanese staff and sushi chefs. I was even presented with a nice warm towel before my meal to freshen up; made me feel just a little nostalgic for Japan. I went for the $35 Sushi Lunch Set: a bowl of miso soup, green salad with ginger dressing, assorted sushi pieces/rolls, and ice cream (which comes in three flavors). Although the food was all pretty standard when it comes to Japanese places, the atmosphere and presentation made it all taste that much better. The sushi was fresh and smooth, staying true to the raw slices of fish and not overdoing it with the fusion rolls. I'd like to come back here again, but next time I'll come back with more people. read more

The prix fixe dinner of black cod and salad, miso soup, two rolls and ice cream for $42 was okay. My dinner mate also ordered the grilled black cod and his portion was twice as big. I had the spicy tuna roll and fatty tuna roll also. They were indistinguishable. The decor was nothing impressive. Even though it was not crowded on a Wednesday night, the waiter seemed to rush us out by clearing our dishes even though one diner was still eating. A bit rude. Nothing impressive here read more

If I can give it no stars I would. The worst sushi I have ever had. Hotate must have been from a few days ago / the ebi had ZERO flavor and just so dull looking and the rolls was just horrible. $80 for 2 pieces of ebi / 2 pieces of hotate / 4 pieces of fluke and a negi toro roll We ate one piece of each and threw it in the garbage read more

Good quality fish and service, so +one star. But too small in size unfortunately. I understand that the business is not so easy...

Horrible place! Never come again! When we arrived, there was a table of white people already eating, and the waiter told us that they were not open yet? seriously? This is a real discrimination! read more

I needed to be in NYC for business and had my second restaurant meal this year in any restaurant , anywhere. Authentic Tokyo feel at tables , with light Japanese conversation in the background. I almost forgot where I was. Had sushi Deluxe, which looked good and tasted almost as good as it should. Nothing beats the fish market, but that seems like a long way off these days. Fatty tuna was a high spot and melted away. Asahi draft helped the rolls hit the spot. It's NYC and it's sushi, so don't expect college freshman prices. But I was pleasantly surprised and will likely be back next time in this part of NYC . But that may be some time from now ! read more

Solid midtown sushi choice. Lunch is definetely the best bet here due to prices and would recommend if work is paying otherwise its too expensive for what it is. Regardless the quality is excellent and consistent which is hard to do when your main entree is served raw so 4/4.5 stars. read more

Wow. Hidden gem in midtown - I came here for lunch and had the Sushi lunch at the counter. I don't expect so much from NYC Japanese food anymore (having lived in Tokyo for some time) but I was pleasantly surprised. The fish melted in my mouth and the rice was a good temperature and flavor. The tuna roll included in the set was also fairly big. Wish I ordered some sashimi though- the diners next to me had some fresh botan ebi shrimp where it was still moving while on the plate. Pricey but so worth it. So good I had forgotten to take pictures. read more

Walked a few blocks on a very rainy NY evening to find this place as the friend was craving sushi. We weren't disappointed .
