I probably come here every few weeks, and order delivery thru their website at least once a week. The staff is wonderful and very attentive and they really remember what I've ordered previously. They are also very friendly and helpful. The food is very good and is prepared timely. I'm always surprised at how fast the food arrives whether it's table service or via delivery! Especially with a delivery order, they have never gotten my order wrong or left it incomplete, which says a lot! One of my favorite locals!! read more

the food was AMAZING!! i've never had better sushi! the service is great and the option of seating is awesome. its very cozy inside and outside its comforting! everyone who loves sushi should definitely come here. Also, the prices are so cheap. read more

FANTASTIC!!! what a wonderful cemetery teriyaki lunch special that could feed an army!! It was delicious and healthy and fresh and I thank you all so much and thank you for your kindness on the telephone for my delivery. read more

This is their sushi deluxe for $39: 9 pieces of nigiri, a tuna roll, and miso soup. And honestly, there's nothing special about it whatsoever. Is it bad? No. But the presentation is weak, the salmon and tuna look mediocre, and the fish doesn't exactly scream peak freshness. The roll was stuffed but not even sealed properly, and the nigiri almost tasted like plain white rice -- no real seasoning. Just... flat. Nothing outstanding, nothing memorable. In a city with so many options, Sushi Ren doesn't give you a reason to come back. C-. For more NYC sushi reviews, follow The Raw Report on TikTok. read more

The food here is amazing, the lunch special is where it's at. You get buy 1 get 1 beers, the sushi portion is huge as they focus on more fish and less rice. I also got the pork gyoza for an extra $5. Honestly... it's a great meal and I would recommend more people stop by and give this place a try! The service was great and fast the food came out quickly. In addition, it's a chill place, quiet but good! read more

Sushi Ren - Sushi Lunch I also wish I didn't eat it so fast and forgot to take a pic lol - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

The sushi presentation was sloppy. Prices were fair. Better sushi restaurants within walking to spend your money. I will say, their shrimp fried rice was the best version of that dish I've ever had in my life. read more

truly never had more filling sushi in my life. each roll was STUFFED, and the ratio of filling to rice was absolutely beautiful. after 2 rolls, I can say this was definitely worth $20. if I were to go back, I'd opt for the spicy crab roll. it was superior to the tuna and shrimp. restaurant was pretty full with others from 6:30 to when we left. seems like a very lowkey place that does not lack in quality. played very minimal music and had large tvs. waiters are so so happy and kind -- and made sure to refill water so often! read more

Let me just start by saying, this place is AMAZING! My parents moved to the area this past summer, and every time I've come to visit them, I've walked past this place but had never gotten to try it. Tonight, I had a friend come in from Jersey and I finally got to try it. When we first walked in, it was so peaceful. It's quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. The waitress was exceptionally friendly and attentive. And last but not least, the FOOD! My salad and sushi were both amazing, the green tea was smooth and refreshing, and the fried rice was easily some of the best I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and go to this restaurant. Tell your family and friends about it. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Must try: Lunch Sushi & Sashimi Specials! Why: Fresh and delicious sushi rolls and sashimi. Rolls were big and filling with lots of fish and avocado or cucumber. Sashimi variety was really good too. Lunch specials also came with Miso Soup and Salad. Good pricing for lunch specials. Notes: Restaurant is big and spacious with outdoor seating options. I ordered takeout and as I waited they gave me water. They did accidentally give me the wrong takeout order; however, they were super nice and apologized. They even offered me another drink when I came back to get the correct order. I look forward to trying more from their menu next time! read more

We went with friends for casual week night dinner. Both couples ordered sushi and sashimi for 2 for $82. The platter came with sashimi slices of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, nigiri, shrimp tempera roll and a rainbow roll. It was a huge platter with generous portions. At least 8-10 slices of each kind of sashimi and the rolls were very large. All the fish was super fresh and delicious. The dish could easily feed 3 people. Service was very good and we all had a good time. Definitely adding this place to my restaurant list. read more

Great happy hour deals! If you like sushi and beer, this is the spot. Food comes out quick and always tastes fresh. Great drinks and apps as well. read more

My favorite sushi in the city, salmon is also so fresh and delicious. Service is great, and prices are reasonable.

Its a good take out spot for veggie rolls!! the delivery isnt packaged well they never listen to instructions. They always mix the fish rolls with veggie. You should place over the phone because they dont read the notes when you use doordash or uber eats. read more

The worst sushi ever! Poor quality sushi, salmon tartare was sour and the age tofu was thick as rocks. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

We loved sushi ren for years. We all live close by and Sushi Ren was where we went for sushi everytime for many years. Unfortunately last few times the place didn't smell good or feel clean. So we don't even order delivery. One of us told them each time while in the restaurant but nothing has changed. We're sad to lose our neighborhood sushi spot. We are looking for a new one. read more

Sushi Ren is a nice little spot on the Upper East Side, located off of 2nd Avenue. The sushi rolls are great, as well as the appetizers. The staff are really kind & accommodating and the atmosphere is nice as well! I'd definitely return here. Highly recommend! read more

Sushi Ren - Seafood Gyoza - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I went into Sushi Ren this evening to get sushi for my son. I asked them how many pieces they cut the rolls into as my son is 6 and can't eat such big pieces. They said they would cut it into 8 pieces. They even printed it on the receipt. I got home and opened the package and it was 6 HUGE pieces. My son tried to eat one and almost choked. I called the restaurant requesting they send me a replacement and they insisted that it was cut into 8 even though I was literally holding it. Would never support this establishment again and would never recommend anyone else do. No wonder there was not another soul in the restaurant. read more

Very good sushi in a beautiful setting. The servers went above and beyond during our dinner. We had a lovely window seat and watched people buying their Christmas trees while we ate. It was really fun and festive. read more

The classy jalapeno roll was really good, the jalapeno added a nice taste of spiciness with each bite. The dancing eel roll left much to be desired. The eel by itself was really crispy and flavorful, but it didn't add much to the overall roll. It would have been better to have to eel by itself since it was the standout of the roll. The staff at the restaurant were not only impatient, but they were pushy throughout the meal. During the course of an hour and a half there were fifteen to twenty times that they stopped by the table to either present the check, which we did not request or to stay are you done (there were numerous open table throughout the restaurant). I felt like the bothersome staff took away from the great sushi rolls and it was difficult to fully enjoy the meal with the constant rudeness of the staff. Customer service should be of upmost concern with all restaurant visits, I'm not sure if I'll go again since I felt disrespected throughout my meal. read more

I used to order from Sushi ran all the time and it was great. Tonight I ordered delivery and the tuna maki was inedible. The tuna inside the roll was cut up in different sized bits, some large and some small, a sign of leftover lower quality fish. What's more, the tuna was fishy and clearly not fresh. I had to throw it away. Either the sushi chef has zero scruples or Sushi Ren will sell every last bit of fish instead of tossing it. read more

After a night at the Met my two friends and I came for some much deserved dinner. Upon entering we could see it was a little busy but there were a few tables open, the host let us know it would actually be around a 20-30 minute wait, our one friend asked to use the restroom and while we waited we saw a table outside become available and asked another employee and without hesitation they sat us (all in a span of 5mims) so that was interesting. We proceeded to order with a very friendly waitress who even allowed my friend to charge her phone inside. All of our food was delicious by all accounts and hit the spot just right. Pricing was great especially for the overall value. Definitely recommend for a cheaper but reliable sushi option in the area. read more

Sushi Ren - Amazing!!! - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

If you want super fresh and tasty sushi Sushi Ren is the place to go! I got my usual California Roll, two pieces of shrimp and two pieces of eel. I loved that the rice was fluffy and moist which is never the case when you buy sushi in a store. The eel was cooked to perfection. It was so tender and they topped it with just the right amount of sauce. I had the Shrimp Shumai for an appetizer. There was so much flavor. They served it nice and hot and the vinaigrette sauce was a unique and delicious accompaniment. But what impressed me the most was the wait staff. I was on my own and they were very attentive. They took my order right away and a separate person stopped by to make sure everything was to my liking. A customer eating outside came in to give them a secret dessert order for her guest who was celebrating their birthday. I could tell they were not only eager to help her make it a special evening but there was also a genuine excitement. I was so happy I decided to stop here for dinner and look forward to my next visit! read more

Horrible food & service. Probably the worst sushi we have ever had. Service was horrendous- every single thing was wrong. Never again.

Good portion size, even for lunch special. The restaurant staff are very kind and friendly, which is refreshing. Even the bus boys. We had the: - 3 roll maki lunch special - can't be beat. Loved the salmon skin roll - chicken Katsu - very good - Salmon teriyaki - generous portion and tasty. More of a soft consistency Excellent outdoor dining area which is nicer than just some tables on a sidewalk. All in all, would recommend to others. read more

Really aggravating, as they indicated being open until 11p, which is why we chose to go there at 930p. They rushed us out the door after 1015p. Awful. And rude to boot. read more

Came here on a date a while back. It was one of his go to places. It's definitely got a nice ambiance and if you're into sushi, you'll probably be pleased with the cuisine here. I wasn't in the best headspace at the time so it was okay for me but this isn't as much my cuisine as much as me trying new things. No real complaints though. read more

This has been our go-to spot for sushi for years for both take-out & dining in. Always fresh, delicious & consistent. This is the perfect place to go if you want a calm, quiet vibe.

Fresh, tasty sushi every time. I usually get the two roll lunch specials. The white wines are delicious as well.

Sushi Ren is definitely my favorite place to get Japanese food in the area. I love Udon, and Sushi Ren has the best Udon soups I have had near here. They don't skimp on the fillings! I also like the sushi, it's very low priced for the quality. I can't recommend it enough. The best part is that they deliver! read more
