It has been years since we dined at Sushi Sen-nin and I don't know why -- food and service has always and continues to be great. We had a bunch of nigiri: anago, unagi, hirami, hamachi and uni, but the star dish was our favorite otoro carpaccio with spicy mayo and crispy topping. We have always gone for lunch, which provides a very quiet environment. Nice space and friendly service. read more

First time at this sushi place but my father in law comes here all the time apparently. They have a happy hour special so stop by after work. The sushi place has two tables that are on the floor style where you remove your shoes and then there are regular tables along with a rather large sushi counter. I really love the large Japanese flags that hang on the wall. The staff are super nice and attentive. They wear masks. We had some yummy appetizers such as the takoyakis which were very delicious, crisp and soft on the inside with not too much sauce. Had their crispy rice with tuna on top that was so yummy too. Beef Negamaki was just ok. The sushi was so good from the salmon to yellowtail to beef topped sushi and the lobster roll so good! I really think the quality of the sushi is good here. Will definitely be back. read more

Food/Drinks: 5/5 We stumbled upon this restaurant on a random weekday after work. Their sign advertised a happy hour that was past 6 pm and we were sold! Thee $$$ on yelp had me shook for a minute but everything is decently priced. It felt more like $$. Happy Hour is only on the beer and sake but it didn't disappoint. The cocktails were normal price and the lychee martinis is absolutely delicious! The presentation was also super cute - he shook up the drink and poured it out infant of us. My partner and I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and 3 sets of rolls: set of Philly Rolls, California rolls, and Avocado Rolls. Each roll came in a tray of 6 small rolls but it was surprinsingly filling. Service: 3/5 We were greeted and welcomed into thee restaurant promptly. Our server answered all of our questions and presented everything nicely. Everything was great but it seemed like after we got our food, all of the wait staff disappeared. Eventually, they came back and we are able to get the check. Vibe: 4/5 Upon walking in there was only 1 other group seated, which contrary to popular belief was not SUS! A few more groups came in after we were seated. This is a great place for groups or also a small part of 2 or solo dining. There are these cute nooks that are slightly hidden in the wall like a cubby. We sat here and it felt like a private dinner. The interior is equipped with beautiful traditional Japanese seating and typical American seating. read more

Came here with a party of 4 on a weekday night and the place wasn't crowded at all so it was nice that it was on the quieter side. All the food we got is shown here and the sashimi definitely tasted great. The salmon and chicken teriyaki were alright and the appetizers were pretty good. The service was great as our server came back to check in and fill our waters at just the right times. Definitely recommend if you're looking for tasty sashimi and a la carte sashimi options. read more

Last minute search for sushi spot that's open on Monday brought us to Sushi Sen-nin. The large open room is decorated with large banners with fishing scenes. No one was sitting at the large sushi bar. We had a table that was separated from the adjoining table with a wooden screen. We were glad the guy left within minutes of our sitting down. We each had a Chirashi bowl. Each negiri had a topping of different spice levels. I took them off to enjoy the taste of the fish. I'd order no toppings next time. The fish quality was very good. read more

Ordered takeout from here as part of the covid version of restaurant week, and it was great! Every part of the sushi bento box was delicious, except maybe the plastic tray. I especially liked the gyoza, really flavorful and a nice warm contrast to the other cold dishes. The nigiri was also excellent, with interesting toppings for each type of fish. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I found Sushi Sen-Nin by walking across the street from my hotel (Hilton). They have an outdoor seating option on the street which is covered but I chose to sit inside. I'm dining alone and it felt comfortable eating at a table for two where I can check everyone out and what they're ordering! I first ordered Black Cod Misozaki (marinated in Miso & lightly grilled (I think). It was delicious and prepared with delicately sliced avocado and ikura eggs (salmon roe). Highly recommend as an appetizer. Then I ordered Ikura and Uni sushi (waiter said it was from California). Of course it was also delicious and tasty! I had it all with a glass of Pino Gris read more

Solid family-owned sushi spot in Midtown (especially if you have a group!) I know everyone's in love with east village and wants to go to tiny izakaya counter bars, but, if you want some solid sake options and good fish, this is your midtown go to. Their unassuming front door opens up into a rather large and spacious interior, and there's well-made outside seating for open air dining if you're still worried about COVID stuff. If you've ever been to Japan, the interior may be a fun throwback. Sen-nin's menu runs from fun creative items like the fish tacos (my recommendation is the spicy tuna- not too spicy, and you do not need to dip in soy sauce. Consume as is, and enjoy the finely chopped fish and crunchy taco), to classic hand pressed nigiri sushi we all know, to some lesser known but equally classic Japanese rolls, like the kanpyo, a sort of marinated gourd. Simple but nostalgic, for many. My guilty pleasure is their oyster shot (shooter?) , and when they have it, the uni. The brinyness of the seafood with the delicate sweetness of the sake is...decadent. Take a deep breath, slurp it all in one go. Don't knock it til you try it ;) There are other fun Japanese flavor-inspired cocktails if oyster isn't your thing. Service may not be *the* fastest but it's always friendly and with a smile. Take your time, enjoy your sushi and your company. read more

This is one of my friends favorite restaurants. He's been insisting I come here for over a year. Last night I finally dropped by and was glad I did. It is a bit of a different vibe from other omakase centric sushi restaurants in New York but is delicious. The roles are gigantic, my girlfriend and I split an appetizer and three roles and were full. The service is great, very good neighborhood spot Seemed to be a lot of dates going on here, one girl next to us told her date she was about to get liposuction. read more

It seems an impossible task to find a good sushi restaurant near my hotel in New York City. Came in due to the great reviews and found what looked like a Chinese restaurant serving low-quality Japanese food. Sashimi deluxe with crab and toro and hamachi roll all were horrible. Think of leftover Sushi pieces put on your plate double the price and you get their sushi. Not only were the portions small the cuts were uneven and the sushi wasn't fresh but the service was awful as well. There were hardly any customers and I wonder why LOL. OMG skip this place. The bill was around $70 with tax and tip. Super rip off. read more

The place was so quiet, which is nice to find in midtown, but it could feel uncomfortable. The huge colorful decorations on the wall are pretty to look at, but feel so out of place and a tad gaudy. I have mixed feelings about the ambiance. They do have these little nooks on the side of the restaurant that you can sit in with one other person in complete privacy, so that's a very cool and unusual aspect that I dug. There's a $20 minimum per person, which is so unpleasant. Why can't you just get what you want? This left me with a bad taste in my mouth. In terms of food, there were hits and misses. Edamame - unsalted and a big portion! I loved. Baked mussels appetizer - didn't like at all. The actual mussel was good, but the toppings made it goopy and gross. Why so much mayo on something so naturally raw and delicious? Eel sashimi - perhaps the best piece of eel I've had lately. Salmon sashimi - fresh and melts in your mouth, but each piece was so small for the price. I wouldn't recommend and I won't be returning. The prices are not worth the size, and the vibe is just weird, not the mention that awful rule. read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! I received a friendly greeting and was seated right away. My waiter was amazing as he mentioned the day's specials. I decided that I wanted to order the Kamaya (bamboo-infused) sake first, then I ordered my miso soup. The soup hit the spot! I tipped my bowl to get the last few drops. I then ordered the first round of sushi, which was the Philadelphia roll and then the yellowtail roll. I then ordered the squid tempura roll along with a bottle of Asahi beer. Everything was delicious! I will be back soon to try the shrimp tempura and the tempura ebi tacos. Can't wait! read more

My Yelp score: 4.5 stars for all ... food/service/and ambiance. Wow, what a space! Recently renovated dining areas boast Tatami style seating, cozy banquettes, or standard table seating. This is my third time here and the bright banners and loud decor never gets old. It's warm yet spacious with its high ceilings and more relaxed vibe without the previously boring setup. This sushi spot offers an upscale dining experience without the pretense. Not sure why some Yelpers were taken aback by the prices - did they NOT notice the Michelin & Zagat ratings at the door?! The $$$ signs hold true...this is not your run of the mill Japanese/local hood restaurant. I only come here for special occasions knowing the cost and expectations of the quality of food I'm going to get. I came here on a Tuesday night, around 6:30pm, not terribly busy but as the night went on, the tables were filling up. My party of five were excited to dine here and given I was the experienced diner, I was trusted to order for the table. While I am always happy to order the items as listed in the menu, I like to have more control over what sushi/sashimi I will consume. So sometimes it is more economical to order as listed, it's not as fun! For this evening's visit, we sampled an array of dishes that the restaurant is known for and some usual Japanese staples. Our awesome waiter, Yong Wu, was super attentive and checked on us frequently. He also was well versed in the explanation of some dishes and offered great suggestions which we did partake in a few. Started off with the oysters appetizer, light yuzu drizzle to give it a complimentary flavor w/ the citrus undertones. The oysters were served in the shell, medium sized for the most part, garnished with scallions and roe, it was a great app to share (6 pcs one order). This was recommended by Yong and we agree, it was delicious and worth the price tag. Another appetizer that was a hit was the broiled squid. Smoky and charred to a beautiful color, hint of spiciness (sauce was hidden beneath the entire presentation). This is a must try - best for groups given the portion. It was a large plate...not meant for two. Other appetizer we liked: "Kome crispy rice" spicy salmon crispy rice and the tuna crispy rice - as we couldn't decide which flavor, we ordered both (3 pcs per order). I personally liked the spicy tuna more but both were excellent. The rice was crisp, browned slightly, and the fish on top gave it a great texture when taking a bite. We found this to be a unique combo and it was a favorite for the night. For dinner, I asked Yong to have the sushi chefs get creative...we wanted the boat presentation and so I selected specific pieces of sushi and sashimi so they could make it. All about the presentation folks - outstanding and beautifully done. Unlike previous Yelp photos where folks had the boat display, it was lacking garnish and body. Our boat not only looked appetizing, it was filled to max capacity with our choice selections. Not for the faint of heart, this selection was not cheap. Each item was ordered a la carte with the exception of the "sashimi deluxe" I requested they add to make it complete - also because it offered snow crab as part of the deluxe option. The photo you will see shows: giant clams in the shell - cut up in pieces and easy to share, a nice display of the young Hamachi, scallop, salmon, tuna, and fluke sashimi. Ordered also a few rolls (options were seaweed on the outside vs seaweed on the inside which I took advantage of): avocado roll, eel roll, and the salmon skin roll. All presented over a bed of shredded radish (sometimes referred to as garnish - which I do eat) and sliced cucumbers adorned the rows in between pieces. We almost had no room but managed two desserts after the impressive boat display. We tried the fried ice cream (green tea flavor) topped w/ red bean paste and the green tea brulee. (I think I may have forgotten to take photos, whoops)! We were also given some samples of the in-house made green tea chocolate. The desserts were all good but not what they are famous for so ok to skip if already maxed on budget. :-) Will definitely eat here again and I hope I get Yong as my server...I'll likely request him anyway! read more

This is a very good local sushi spot that takes their sushi very seriously! The layout is nice with traditional Japanese seating and normal American seating. The staff is very friendly and serves the food quickly. Both times I came here, I had a combination of sushi and sashimi. The fish was very fresh and flavorful. They also have special rolls that are very good. The downside is that this place is pricy. I get it for a Saturday night but for a mid-week lunch it is a bit expensive - 2 people = $70 + bill. read more

Outdoor dining only due to COVID. Outside seating was nice and the customer service was great. The martini recommendations by the server were amazing. In addition, the baked mussels were made mildly spicy for me and they were soooo good. The teriyaki beef was sweet but tasty. I will return to this restaurant on my next visit to New York. read more

Still the BEST shrimp tempura in NYC! Happy hour Sapporo, Kirin and Asahi. Attentive service in a quiet, calming atmosphere.

Place is very large and spacious but the sushi was average. It wasn't bad whatsoever but also nothing spectacular. I would recommend if you're looking for a causal spot in Midtown! read more

The sushi clock on the wall told me it was time to get raw. What it did not tell me was that it would cost me all of my babysitting money. The Nigiri Zushi entree consisting of 5 pieces of fish, a spicy tuna roll, served with miso soup was $22. Add on a little salmon sashimi and you've got a simple meal that rounded out around $30. Granted, I understand that this is New York. I expect things to be a bit pricey. However, I come from a land where you can get some pretty decent sushi at a much more affordable price. Price aside, my meal was excellent. The fish was of high quality, presentation was beautiful and service was wonderful. Was it the best sushi EVAR? No. But it was really quite good. Overall, I left feeling full and happy. In fact, I left skipping. Why? Because my pockets felt so light! read more

I love sushi and eat them at least once every week. The sushi and rolls at this restaurant is unique as they add flavors to spice it up. However, please be careful as this restaurant tends to think fish and some meats are part of vegetarian sushi rolls. If you are particular on the basic ingredients such as the rice itself, it is not fantastic. Although the staff were very good and the atmosphere is fine the sushi and tofu were not for me. For entree, I had a cold tofu dish which usually highlights the taste of the tofu. This was all about the overpowering sauces, jalapeño, spicy and souped up soy. Did nothing for the tofu. Price is about the only upscale experience. The menu is completely uninteresting but serviceable. If you are across the street and desperate for sushi immediately, this will do fine. read more

In the relentless search for awesome sushi in Midtown, could you be the one, Sushi Sennin that may have stolen my heart? After failing time and time again in such sub-par and mediocre sushi spots, Sushi Sennin seemed pretty good, it got rave reviews, so I had to try it out. REDEMPTION WAS IN SIGHT!!!!! This was the most confusing and appetizing menu I've ever seen because I was simply baffled and didn't know what to get. No problem, my friends Sapporo and $3.50 Sake were nearby to aid my sushi quest. After 15 minutes of debating to myself and my co-worker, with some much needed input from our server, I THINK we were finally able to place our order. The white tuna carpaccio crunch sounded really good, and the waiter easily convinced us to get 5 pcs. We also ordered Tuna Toro, a soft shell crab roll and their infamous Rainbow Roll. One more sake later, and the tuna crunch arrives. OMG..... I have to say this was the best thing we purchased the whole entire meal. A fried tempura shell topped with fresh white tuna garnished with seaweed. It looked so scrumptious and it tasted like crack. We should have gotten 50 instead of 5 but I settled for another sake instead. Those appetizers vanished before they even had a chance. One more sake down, the rest of the meal arrives: a gargantuan rainbow roll surrounded by Tuna Toro and a soft shell crab roll. My eyes wandered at the plate that lay before us, my mouth salivating, not even knowing where to begin. No problem, one more round of sake to help make the decision easier. Thank you Mr. Waiter!!! The soft shell crab roll was the first victim. No soy sauce needed, just a little dash of wasabi and down the hatch. Next up was the rainbow roll. I wasn't used to eating so much fish in one roll but there a first time for everything. The rainbow roll was packed with so many different kinds of fish, so thick and very fresh. I've never had tuna toro but that was also insanely fresh. The tuna carpaccio crunch was by far the best thing we ordered for that meal. Sushi Sennin had definitely made up for all the previous places that should be disgraced to call themselves sushi bars. The service was immaculate and the waiter was very attentive and patient with our order. It was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, awesome service and a delicious meal that I was yearning for all week. read more

Favorite sushi spot in the city! I spotted it a long time ago when I still worked in 2park ave and they were located on 34 street. Still come to dine here right before heading home. Slices of sushi is appropriate considering the price. I prefer a la carte since the Japan fishes are a treat to taste and savor vs the basic Matsu sushi/sets. The typical stuff is good but I live for the exotic fish which is an experience with each bite. If you're getting the rolls you're doing something wrong-super beginner style homies. You have to try sashimi and sushi. I also love coming in before the dinner rush to watch the chefs break down the tuna. It's interesting and never gets old. Service is kind and quick when the place isn't packed. Ambiance is meh. Could be worked on read more

Yum! This place was recommended by a man friend who is secretly Japanese on the inside. This guy can order a la carte without looking at the menu. He's the type of guy in which his eyes sparkle, huge smile ear to ear, and just glowing when anything Japanese comes up in conversation. With that note, I know that I'm in for a good treat! I, along with his wife, ordered the Chirashi. Fairly fresh. Definitely worth the price of the meal. This man friend who is secretly Japanese on the inside describes this place as his "Go To" place for "Medium Priced Japanese". I wholeheartedly agree! read more

Walked in and walked out. Got there at 9:30 and the first thing that came out of their mouth was : kitchen is closing in 10 minutes. Not " hello, welcome" or " thanks for coming in to spend money at our restaurant". Or at least wait until we sit down and while you give us the menus mention that it's late and you need to take our orders quickly as the kitchen closes in 10 minutes. There weren't many people at the restaurant. Maybe 4-5 tables max. Even though they're officially open until 10, kitchen closed at 9:40. I just don't get how rude you can be to drive customers out of your restaurant. We will not return. Too bad. I was really looking forward to trying this place as our friends spoke highly of their sushi rolls. read more

Yes, it's expensive--but no more than Sushi Yasuda or the other top end susiyas. That seems to be the negative which people focus on. But it has some of the freshest fish in NYC, and if you examine the menu carefully; there are reasonable choices. And frankly, the price/value/quality relationship is in synch so suck it up and enjoy. At lunch, ask for the lunch specials. If you don't ask, you might not get that menu; but there are some excellent sushi combination choices. At dinner, go to the back of the menu and start by order one of the set sashimi or sushi courses. Add in ala carte as needed. Accent with a special yakitori from their authentic grill. That's the key to staying on the reasonable and high quality side here. Lots of choices for seating. The bar, the sushi bar, the yakitori bar, several Japanese seating style private area, plus booths and tables. So, if you're intimidated by having lots of choices, don't go here. Ditto with the menu--very extensive. Sushi chefs know their stuff-just ask. Right off the 6 train on 33rd btw Park and Mad. Check it out and you might even see me at the sushi bar. read more

Another great neighborhood restaurant with excellent menu of sushi, sashimi, yakitori and other Japanese delicacies in one place with friendly service. Sushi Sen-Nin is another one of my favorite restaurants within five minutes of where I live so we tried to visit as often as we can. We always enjoy a wonderful selection of daily fish selection with some hot and cold appetizers to go with a bottle of sake. This place has been around for years. It used to be located on 34th street up until they lost their lease. Then they closed the place and it remained in limbo until they opened up an Upper East Side location. After that they found the current location which moved the operation and closed the Upper East location. Restaurant is pretty large considering some others in this area. As soon as you walk in there is a bar area with full selection of cocktails, wine, beer, sake and special drinks.After the bar area there are two tatami rooms for small parties but these rooms are open so you don't get much privacy. If you are looking for privacy they do have a private room upstairs which most people don't even know about it but trust me, it's there and they will show it to you if you are planning a private party. Main dining room is a one large square with small tables in the center, long sushi bar on the right and few small banquette tables on the left hand side. Their menu is quiet extensive and covers almost every angle of Japanese cuisine. We normally start with few appetizers like Izuzukuri - thinly sliced fluke, sweet shrimp tempura, Tokyo spicy wings, avocado salad, few yakitori selection with a large bottle of cold sake. They don't have a large selection of sake but they are carefully selected for anyone to find a bottle they like. After the appetizers we normally leave the sashimi selection to our server,. after few years of visiting most of the staff already know what we like and decide on our behalf from the daily list of fish from all over the world. After that we finish with a special roll if we are still hungry. They are not the cheapest option in the area but I always say cheap and raw fish should not be in the same sentence... For the quality of the fish and the attentiveness of the service justifies the cost of the meal. Don't get me wrong they are no where as expensive as Yasuda or Gari or even Haru so you don't need to empty your bank account before going over. Also if you stick with the regulars instead of the exotic daily fish then there is nothing you need to be concerned about. Next time in the area give them a try and see for yourself. They are a nice bunch of people and always take care of you with a smile. Don't forget about the mini chocolates on the way out... read more

I love surprises and I love sushi, so my friend made reservations for us at Sushi Sen-nin for dinner on at Saturday night at 7:30PM. He saw that it was Zagat rated and thought that I would enjoy our experience there. There was a lot of weekend traffic coming into the city, so we were late for our reservation, but to our surprise there were only 2 other private booths that were filled and we were immediately seated and we didn't even need to make a reservation. The lack of customers should have clued us in on what dinner was going to be like. Which wasn't great. We were given a private booth for two which was great, but our table was wobbly and uneven and tight to easily get in and out of. We had three different servers, one who took our drink order, another who took our initial order, and another who stayed with us the rest of the evening to take the remainder of our order and checked in on us as the evening progressed. Our third waiter was clearly new and didn't really know what he was doing. Our second waiter was more experienced, but stood in the back all night on her phone in plain site of all the customers. We ordered a bottle of sake, which was way too overpriced, even for NYC prices, but it was clean and tasty. For food we ordered: - Soft Shell Crab Tempura: The second server recommended this as she said it was soft shell crab season. It came with one deep fried soft shell crab and a few pieces of vegetable tempura. - Tsukiji Taco: We ordered spicy tuna for the Tsukiji Taco and it was good, but definitely two small pieces which could be eated in three bites. - Royal Sen Nin Roll - A variety of fish enveloped by a variety of colorful topiko. A beautiful presentation, and quite tasty. - A Variety of Sushi Pieces - Scallop, ikura, toro, and a white fish. We had initially ordered different fish at the second server's recommendation. She told us that it was fresh and really good that night, only to be told later by our third server that the sushi chef had told him to tell us that he recommended we don't order it as they were not fresh and of poor quality. My friend's guess is that the restaurant saw how much money we were spending and didn't want to serve us bad fish. Ultimately, the food we ordered was ok, but that was after our back and forth with the servers which kept changing throughout the evening, told us different things, and were poorly trained. Servers are a part of the dining experience and should be well versed on the menu (which they weren't), shouldn't be standing in view of the customers on their phone, and shouldn't be changing throughout the night. By the end of our dinner a few more tables were filled, but the restaurant as a whole remained empty. In NYC, on a Saturday night during prime dinner hours, this should not be the case, and we left not understanding how Sushi Sen-nin could be Zagat rated. read more

This is by far my favorite sushi place I have ever been too. I have been to places more expense and trendy (not that this place is cheap), but this place remains my favorite. The sushi is super fresh here, and the rolls are very well prepared, so there you need to go big or go home. The chefs special rolls are so necessary to try. Every roll on that menu I have tried has been perfectly balanced so that you taste the sushi, and whatever combination of things they choose to wrap it in or with. My favorite roll is the Royal Seninn. This is your top of the line spice tuna roll. They roll it in rice and avocado, then they cover the whole thing with 5 different colors of fish roe. OMG soo freaking good! The avocado wrap perfectly balances the spicy tuna, and each color of fish roe add their own unique taste to the piece. Every other roll I have had here has been good as well. An the service is excellent, and depending on the waiter you get sometimes even friendly. An big bonus here, they have what is my favorite green tea, and green tea ice cream which actually tastes just like it. read more

This restaurant is right up the block from my job. So decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Very quite nice sushi restaurant. I sat by the bar my waiter was very nice his name is Israel OMG he's the sweetest person ever). So for my appetizer I order the Kumamoto oysters which was very good! different from regular oysters served cold of course with yuzu sauce and scallions to top it off, then for my entree I order the Chilean sea bass! Very good! Nice soft to texture seasoned well! After that I order California rolls look's good in the picture but the whole sushi roll fell apart before it even got into my mouth was just awful! They have a great happy hr menu and that's when there usually busy! I'll definitely come back if I'm in the mood for oysters and a nice lycee martini! read more

Terrible. Terrible costumer service. Manager argued with me about my allergy when I had to send food back. I'm truly appalled. **they use sauces on their sushi rice, as opposed to just plain white rice; and the menu DOES NOT indicate anywhere in the SUSHI section of the menu that there is risk for allergens. Upon my request for plain rice, I was argued with and questioned about my allergy by the manager. And then, I'm her continued evasion of costumer service, she spilled a drink all over my friend only following up with a half-effort apology. This was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had.** read more

In the madness of midtown, this place is a true gem. One of my favorite sushi spots in the city to just dig in and grab lunch to catch up. It's got a ton of great options and my signature favorite, crispy rice rolls with tuna on top. There's a special name... and I'm not going to remember it for this review, but just ask for the crispy rice app! The salad is a great size if you're looking for something to compliment to your sushi, sashimi, and apps. They have always been impeccable at getting my order correct and bringing out the food in a timely manner. Great spot for business or pleasure. read more

Ordered the sashimi deluxe with miso soup. I liked the portions and quality of fish was average, nothing to be excited about but for the price I anticipated higher quality. The service was good. I had multiple people ensure I had everything I needed and would politely each time confirm their understanding of what I was asking. The decorations were a bit much and the music was odd for a Japanese restaurant. They played American jazz! Lol I wouldn't avoid if a group wanted to go back or it was on the way home, but I would not intentionally return. read more

Sushi Sen-nin - Deluxe shasimi with miso soup. Miso was super salty. All pieces were spicy too. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Sushi Sen-Nin is an above average sushi restaurant with steep prices, a packed dining room, and upscale decor. This is definitely more of a destination restaurant than a place for a random sushi excursion. I tried Sushi Sen-Nin for a business lunch the other day. I was shocked that the host was a bit rude and said that the entire dining room was reserved when there were only a few occupied tables. Luckily, my group had a reservation. The rest of the staff was pretty friendly, though I found the service very slow and inattentive. We had to summon the waiters to take our order, refill our water, etc. In terms of the food, I was satisfied but not blown away, especially with the high prices. We started with a few appetizers for the group. The edenamme came with the salt on the side, making them pretty flavorless. The tuna carpaccio with tempura crumb topping was unusual and had a fresh fish flavor. The chicken yakitori came as 3 deliciously marinated skewers of chicken chunks, sauteed onions, and mushrooms. The short rib skewers were also tasty, but too fatty. The pan fried vegetable and pork dumplings were each decent, but could have been more savory. The vegetable was the better of the two. We ordered a ton of sushi and rolls that came served on a massive wooden boat. On a whole, the sushi was good but a bit mushy. I recommend the spicy tuna and shrimp & mango rolls. All in all, a good option, but over-priced. read more

The fish was fresh, melt-in-your-mouth good. -Host was very nice and seated us quickly for lunch. CONS: -Service was slow, though it was lunch rush hour. -Prices were pretty steep. A roll with six pieces costs $8-10. read more
