Sushi lab is doing a Bogo promotion and the damage is around 126$ total including tip and tax. (Worth it with the promo) The venue is lovely, and we had a counter seat. This is a 15 course meal (14 + dessert) and I enjoy each one. Definitely enjoyed the uni the most. This is reservations only, so upon entering we got seated right away. The sushi chef prepped all the ingredients in front and started assembling the course when the time began. The meal was around 90-120 minutes long which allowed for conversation inbetween servings. Definitely worth grabbing promo while it's still ongoing. read more

Ahh I find hard to knock down a star but I need to. It's actually more of a 3.5 stars. I recently came and again I'm not a fan of the whole take the elevator to X floor then walk up a flight. My real complaint is that I ordered the $100 for 14 pieces and 1/3 of them I did not like. One fish was so chewy and difficult for me to bite. Also the workers were putting the dirty dishes right next to me since the dishwasher was behind the counter lol. Not sure if I liked that. Ruined the mood for me. I did like the decor of the rooftop. Very pretty. read more

What an exquisite place to visit! I've done both their traditional dining options and, as of last night, their Omakase, and wow wow wow! The food is BEYOND fresh. The flavor profiles are mind-blowing. Service, passionate and professional. The ambiance...magical(it might be a rooftop but in the artic freeze it is fully enclosed and nice and toasty). I will always come back and keep bringing new people to enjoy it with =) read more

Located in the roof top of a hotel this sushi place was quite good. Not the best iv had but good enough to recommend for a pre theater dinner outing in close proximity to the shows .We shared a few rolls and the tuna with crispy rice and a tartare . All good . read more

I came here for the promo BOGO omakase and it's definitely worth the price for BOGO. The fish is nice and fresh but I do feel like a lot of the toppings overshadowed the actual flavor of the fish. I go to omakase to eat the freshest fish and it gets drowned out by the toppings. Overall everything was very tasty and the service was super good! The actual dining area is very cutely decorated too! read more

Incredible! The fish was fresh and the service was attentive. I loved the interior and the rooftop setting, I will say it was a bit chilly by the window in the winter so be warned. But I had a jacket so no big deal. The Crispy rice would definitely be what I ordered again! And I liked the matcha crunch roll, it was unique. read more

I had dinner at Sushi Lab Rooftop last weekend before a Broadway play. It's one of the many omakase options in the Sanctuary Hotel Building (I've also been to the Chemistry Room, Sushi by Bou, and Omakaseed Vegan by Sushi by Bou). You walk in, check in at the desk to the right, and are taken to the elevator that takes you to the 6th floor. From there, you walk up a flight or two of stairs to reach Sushi Lab Rooftop. The restaurant itself is nice. Even if fake flowers are a pet peeve of mine, their fake flower canopy does make you feel like you're on a rooftop even on a cloudy or rainy day. They offer a full menu of sushi, but they also have two omakase options - the chef's selection (12 courses for $69) and the lab experiment (15 courses for $100). I went with the Lab Experiment omakase. I thought the food was on par with most of the express omakase experiences I've had. However, I felt the service and experience was below average compared to the same. The service was way too fast - I think I was served 14 pieces (all but the dessert) in about 25 minutes. I wasn't told much about the piece I was served and barely had time to chew and think about it before the next one was served. I also had two cocktails, which I thought were both a little too sweet. It's in the Theater District, so it's a convenient spot for a pre-theater dinner, but I think there are better express omakase options (especially since I left for about $180 after 2 drinks and the tip). Not a bad dinner by any means, but I think I'd return to other similar concepts before coming back to Sushi Lab Rooftop. read more

Man, I love this place! If I could go back on this trip, I would. I'll definitely be back in the future. Mind you, there are plenty of Michelin star restaurants in NYC, and I'd still come back to the Sushi Lab anytime! First of all, 15 course omakase experience for $100 per person is so much less expensive than you can find anywhere worth eating. Secondly, the fish is so fresh and high quality. Add in the fact that they are so generous with their caviar and truffle portions and it's a fantastic value! Then look around and enjoy the garden-like rooftop enclosure space you're hanging out in, and you've got paradise. We sat at the sushi counter an Yong made our experience so memorable. He deftly navigated our dietary restrictions without decreasing the value of our meal at all. He made an effort to understand what we loved and give us more of that when making substitutions. He also didn't make it seem like we were frustrating or a problem at all. That was very sweet and made our experience comfortable and fully enjoyable. Impressively, there was nothing in the 15 course omakase experience that we did not enjoy! It was better than Uchi (in Austin) which is almost double the price! Don't take my word for it; try the Sushi Lab for yourself! read more

Excellent dinner! We did the Lab Experience Omakase where every piece of fish was creatively prepared with different toppings and flavor profiles, plus the wagyu beef with foie gras as a finisher. Would definitely come again especially for dinner before shows at Radio City. read more

A very pretty restaurant in the heart of city close to times Square! The vibe was great .Nothing to fault in the food and service . I sincerely do hope they add more vegan/ vegetarian options because veg handroll & taro chips were the only 2 items on the menu and I ordered both of them. They were delicious though! read more

Difficult to find & you have to walk up 2 flights of stairs after being guided to the elevator. Some may not like that, but I thought it was cool. The service is excellent. The staff is very helpful & seems to enjoy working here. The food is very good but pricey, but then what sushi isn't expensive? They made a mistake with our order, but then corrected. read more

A must-try spot we visit every time we're in NY! Perfect for date night or special occasions with the cute rooftop ambiance. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and we felt the pricing was fair--we loved our meal today. Lastly the staff was very friendly and gave us complimentary champagne for the anniversary dinner. Note: The 12-piece omakase includes 2 pieces of sea bream, which count as separate pieces. We would've preferred more variety instead of a duplicate, which is the only reason I'd technically rate it 4.5 stars instead of 5. read more

Stopped by NYC for a few hours to watch a musical nearby and was looking for a place to have omakase! We got the 12 course omakase for ~$65pp. Everything was tasty and they created interesting combinations of garnish on top of each fish. My favorite was the ocean trout and eel. Would definitely recommend this place as a cheap omakase option if you're nearby. This location is also in an enclosed rooftop garden area which can get kind of hot, but the aesthetic is very cute. The only thing to note is that it's in a hotel so you take the elevator to a floor and then need to take the stairs the rest of the way up. All the servers were nice and quick with our order and we got to watch them make our food as we sat at the bar. read more

A nice rooftop vibe, although you can occasionally near the cars honking below -- the ambiance is lovely and the staff is nice. Rolls were yummy, except for the Yellowtail one which mostly just tasted like the onion crunch on top. The most popular ones were my favorites -- Matcha Crunch, Spicy Hotate! read more

Sushi Lab delivers a solid rooftop sushi experience with clean flavors and polished presentation in a sleek rooftop space. The fish is fresh and well-cut. The omakase highlights consistency and technique. This place is an easy crowd pleaser, worth it for the atmosphere especially if you value vibe as much as the food. What we ordered : - The Lab Experiment Omakase (15 signature course) - Truffle Shrimp Pasta - Crab Maki - Salmon Belly & Poached Asian Pear - Cheese Cake read more

Fantastic! I must give props to my fellow Yelpers who did not steer us wrong. The restaurant is rooftop, but you're protected from the elements. Open air concept. My Bestie and I selected the Sushi Lab Omakase. This may have been the best one I've experienced yet! The pacing was perfect and our server, Vanessa, was absolutely amazing. She knew the menu inside and out and took great care to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant offered a fun and light vibe. Exactly what we were looking for! They close relatively early (10:00 PM) and reservations are highly recommended. Perfect spot for a girls night, a date, or even spending time with the family! read more

I planned to meet a close friend a Times Square and I asked ChatGPT to find a great sushi restaurant. The ChatGPT suggested this one as one of the tops choices. The service was fine. To me, service is not very important, it's about the food. And it was disappointing. Maybe we came on the wrong day, at the wrong time, but the food wasn't great. read more

Reallllllly like this omakase place. I've had better sushi but for the price point, I might be visiting this place more often. Located midtown and need to go up an elevator then up 2 flights of stairs. They got a good amount of seatings for big parties but I opted for bar seating. Always bar seating for omakase. Like the pacing better and torched pieces are served at a better temp. Everyone was really friendly and pieces were served at a good pace. Do prefer it to be even slower but I'm a slow eater. Heard the omakase menu changes around, but each piece was really good!!! Ofc loved the toro (our piece was in between chutoro and otoro), wagyu piece also melts in the mouth, and new found favorite is seigo? (Chef said black carp?) -it also melts in your mouth like toro, never had this piece before. I went for my bday and they also gave a complimentary glass of champagne and extra shrimp nigiri, played a bday song as well. Had a great experience here and def will be coming back!!! Want to go again as I'm typing this lol read more

I believe this place used to be Haven Rooftop and now has turned into Sushi Lab Rooftop. Once you enter the hotel, you check in at the right hand side and someone will direct you to the elevator where you take it to the 6th floor and proceed to walk up two flights of stairs. The space is cute, but on the smaller side so definitely make a reservation prior to coming here. My table ordered off the restaurant week menu, where they offered a three-course meal. We started off the with the crab tacos, got the 10-piece nigiri, and ended off with the matcha crème brûlée and new york cheesecake. We also ordered from the regular menu as the restaurant week menu did not make us full. The two rolls we got were the yellowtail and the wagyushu beef roll. They were both flavorful and satisfied our taste buds. I would say my favorite piece was the scallop topped with truffle. It melted and mixed so well together. Overall, it's a very cute restaurant but I don't foresee myself coming here as often only because the prices are so high. read more

Just had a wonderful dinner at Sushi Lab! We ordered the Lab Experience omakase, and all courses were unique and creative - it's hard to even pick a favorite course.

Went here on a rec from a friend and a convenient location for our show afterwards. Easy to find too. Sushi was fresh but the price did not reflect the food received, even with a discount on drinks. Service was... odd. Our server whispered and barely stood at our table while talking to us. She always had somewhere else to go. Ambiance was okay, kinda tacky with the fake greenery. I'd consider this a tourist trap. If you want sushi, head to another place. read more

So my son loves California rolls so I thought Oh i should take him here because California rolls is sushi but here they don't have that then he wanted rice but they don't have that either. Then for my newborn baby i have her in the stroller and they told us that we had to take the elevator then 2 flights of stairs. As well as the variety of food was not that large then my third child looked at the menu and said that she wanted something then we asked for it and said that they did not serve that anymore. So then the workers did not be as kid friendly after my second daughter politely told them that she didn't want that and the her into getting it and i spent money for something she did not eat. Overall 1 star read more

Not from New York, I relied on the Yelp reviews to find the Sushi Lab Rooftop. I'm glad I did! The place is so cool, I love the flower ambiance the have on the rooftop. It was quite warm at first but when a customer asked them to turn off the heaters they complied and it was much more comfortable. The service was friendly, our server was very helpful with explaining the menu. The food was great! Great quality sushi, the edamame was really nice how they serve it. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some yummy sushi with a unique atmosphere. read more

Sushi Lab is one of my favorite sushi spots in Manhattan. Love, love, love! Located atop the Sanctuary Hotel, it is small, but it works! Just make sure you have a reservation, as it is in the heart of NYC and is popular. Decor: Very cutesy with windows all-around allowing you to take in the views. Food: I've tried so many of their rolls, and I cannot complain about any of them. My favorite roll would have to be the Matcha Crunch Roll - filled with shrimp tempura, avocado and topped with spicy baked crab and matcha covered rice pearls. If you follow me on this here app, you know I love sushi and have tried many places! This Matcha Crunch Roll is definitely top five. Sushi Lab's sashimi is also fresh; I've tried the Yellowtail, Salmon, and Tuna. Awesome! The Honey Soy Glazed Wings are also good. I am not a "wings" type of lady, but I would order again -- it had a nice crunch to it. I have nothing else to say about this pretty restaurant with delicious sushi. Get there! Cheers! read more

Very cute rooftop spot. They have 2 omakase options, chef's Selection ($60) and the lab experiment ($100). We tried both options, the latter came with some cute apps and "higher" quality fish (First 2 pics were for the lab experiment and the third is for the chef's selection) The service was amazing! Super friendly and caring! They try to make small talk with you to get your feedback on how to improve the experience. read more

Dropped in for lunch on a recent trip to NYC. Ambiance is very nice. The views from the many windows of the surrounding city our pretty, lots of natural light and feels clean and bright. Service was good. Server made good recommendations and was asked about potential allergies twice (better twice than never). Food came quickly and was very good. We got two rolls and a bento box between our three person party and it was enough to share for a light lunch. We would return next time we are in NYC. read more

Great find in the city for a cozy dining experience. Sushi lab is located on the eighth floor of the Sanctuary hotel giving it an upscale feel without the snuff. Great for a date, has a romantic and inviting feel. Loved the open space. We ordered the dynamite shrimp, honey soy glazed wings, matcha crunch roll and tuna lover roll. They have a great variety of options. I preferred the crunch roll and wings out of this bunch. Wings are crunchy and fried to perfection. The staff was friendly and service was relatively fast. Prices are comparable to other sushi spots. read more

We had a Girls' Night Out and participated in the Restaurant Week menu at this location. After you check-in at the Sanctuary Hotel, you need to take the elevator to the 6th floor and climb up 2 flights of stairs to the main dining room. It is very bright and roomy on the rooftop. There are heaters everywhere, but don't sit by the window on a chilly day. The breeze comes through the cracks. Our server was kind enough to let us know they have a brunch menu on the weekends with bottomless mimosas and bellinis. The items on the Restaurant Week menu were so tasty, too. We will be back for more! read more

Found this sushi place while scrolling and it was super close to my hotel. I had to come when I seen they had matcha crunch roll on the menu. I love anything with any type of matcha anything lol. It's on the rooftop of Sanctuary hotel. The hotel was beautiful btw. You go through the hallway, up the elevator and then up two flights of stairs to get there. The service was fantastic. Everybody was super helpful and the place was decorated so beautifully. I ordered the ichigo margarita, matcha crunch roll, and then I got the sweet shrimp nigiri/sashimi. The matcha crunch roll was soooooo good. Had shrimp tempura inside, the little match pearls on top. They didn't add any flavor but they were cute and you could feel the little pop in your mouth when eating them. I loved it. The margarita was delicious and strong good strawberry flavor. The sweet shrimp nigiri wasn't my favorite. It was two small shrimp with a lil sauce on top. I thought it was going to be different but I still ate it as I like shrimp but I'm not the biggest fan of raw/less cooked shrimp personally. I will definitely eat here again when I'm in NYC. I loved everything about it. read more

On a whim, stopped in for lunch. I didn't have a reservation and was offered a seat quickly. It's interesting to get to this place from the street. One elevator and then several flights of stairs to the rooftop. Worth it! Oddly the guacamole with pomegranate seeds was amazing and perfect aside the taro (?) chips. Sashimi tuna and yellowtail was (2 pieces to an order) buttery and flavorful. Will try this place again. read more
