SUteiShi - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

We really like Suteishi which is a great option if you're feeling like fresh fish when you're in seaport. It's located on a fairly quiet corner and in the warmer seasons it's nice to sit and look out at the view of the street and Brooklyn bridge. The food was great, we ordered a variety of sushi and everything was very flavoursome and innovative. They also have great cocktails. The staff were friendly and had a chat with us during dinner which was great. read more

Made last minute reservations for lunch with a friend- I've been eyeing this spot for a while now and am now kicking myself for not having visited sooner!! I had the pomegranate margarita; refreshing, delicious and strong yet subtle. The seared fusion scallops was off the charts!!! I instantly melted into my feelings as I basked in every bite. The waiter was so attentive, friendly and spot on with the recommendations. My friend had their wavecrest entree and was delighted. Will most definitely be returning. read more

My husband says it's the best sushi in town. They could do better on more non-sushi items on the menu and unfortunately the parking in the area is a nightmare, so take an Uber. read more

I have heard of this spot for several years, and I finally ordered takeout for dinner. I ordered the Salmon Yaki Udon to go. The dish was very freshly made, and it remained warm after my 90-minute commute home. The dish was a good portion for two people and tasty even for the toddler. A few days later, I had an impromptu omakase dinner 8 pieces of sushi plus a specialty roll for under $60 as I try to figure out how to get home since downtown express buses were canceling and rerouted thanks to the UN Summit. I enjoyed my meal plus the staff and Yelp offered free sake. I had the cocktail sake, hot sake made in-house, and the overflowing shot of Soto sake. The specialty rolls are definitely worth trying. I had the Orange Dragon Roll, which was very good. I also ordered the blue crab dumplings. It was ok but much needed after all the sake consumed. The next day, I ordered takeout for lunch, and I just had to get the SuteiShi Pearl Roll made with fried oysters, cucumber, Kani, and House spicy mayo. This roll hit the spot, and the oysters were perfectly fried. I'd definitely return to take more of their specialty rolls and maybe explore their happy hour, if available. read more

I had a lovely dinner and catch up with a dear friend at Suteishi today. It was our go to place when we both worked in the neighborhood and it had been a long while since we'd been there...but Victor and Renee still remembered us! The food was delicious...I had the Suteishi rainbow roll which was topped with chili crisps for an extra kick (yum!) and my friend had a California roll hold the avocado and hold the roe (lol). I also had the pomegranate margarita (pic attached) which was the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy. It was a really nice day so they had the wall open which was perfect for indoor outdoor dining (I wanted outdoor and my friend wanted indoor). The servers were very attentive and just plain nice :) read more

Took a few colleagues from work a couple of days ago and we had a grand time. Maximo was our server and he was very attentive. We had tuna rolls, filet mignon on hot rocks (such fun!) and various entrees. I had the black cod in white miso (which ranks among my favorite dishes of all time) and we split the green tea fried ice cream and fried Oreo's. Both addictive. Victor and his team work seamlessly to give their diners a great experience. If you haven't been there yet this is a hidden gem on Front Street and Peck Slip. In nicer weather you can sit outside with views of the Brooklyn Bridge. And the sushi is fresh and they cut it just right (not too thick and not too thin). Love SUteishi! read more

I eat there last week. I was sick like a dog so was my wife! severe food poisoning!! we both eat salmon! read more

One of my favorite sushi restaurants, hands down. As a self proclaimed sushi snob, I've frequented SUteiShi about a dozen times and have never had a bad experience. I wouldn't necessarily say I have a favorite, but will note the consistency of very fresh fish, speciality items and overall ingredients being top notch. I've fallen in love with the avocado Kani salad and this has become mandatory for any visit. Don't let the price point or size of the portions derail you from this amazing sushi experience. read more

SUteiShi - Avo Kani Salad - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I would give a 3.5 if I could, but rounding up since nothing was particularly bad about the meal. My partner and I stopped by as we were in the area and in the mood for sushi. We ordered shrimp shumai and 3 rolls, which were all good but a bit overpriced. The prices on their website are a little outdated, so when we got there, it was a bit pricier than we had anticipated. read more

We stopped here after we sat down for a few drinks at pier 17 and we were craving sushi. It was a perfect summer evening for outdoor seating. Tip: remember to check in on Yelp and claim your free hot sake. We ordered the orange Dragon speciality roll and two regular rolls. The sushi was fresh and well put together. I'd definitely go back. The pricing is fairly decent too. read more

Highlights: service and ambiance Lowlights: the food Located on a very cute stone street near the south street seaport, SUteishi brings a trendy flare to basic Japanese cuisine. And while we weren't impressed, we did appreciate the kind service & fun location. This is my 3rd time coming here and I will say that they are consistent! The quality has not dwindled and things seem to improve each time I dine in. However, the food never leaves a memorable mark on me. It's good! Not great. Definitely not bad. The chicken teriyaki was a great portion size with white breast meat. Not my favorite, but the presentation was very nice. Rice bowl was little dry unfortunately. Edamame and fried oysters got the job done. The sashimi platter was eye catching and super fun. The fish was fresh - not the best ever though. It didn't melt in my mouth like I hoped it would. I found myself chewing a lot and pulling apart stringy pieces at times. The sushi rolls were also good but not great. Everything was prepared so well, but we just weren't into it. SUteishi will fix your Japanese food craving & it's a great date/meetup spot. However, the food was nothing to write home about. read more

Always a hit. Was my favorite sushi spot when working in Seaport. Highly recommend! I especially love their edamame. Chef's kiss!

We happened to be in FiDi for 4th of July and ended up here. So glad we did!! We sat outside which was nice. First we ordered the Handmade Blue Crab Gyoza which was really delicious and filling! Then we got the special roll they had for 4th of July and omg it was probably the best roll we've ever had! The waiter sold us on it so we got it. It had avocado, white tuna and crunchy tuna on top. It wasn't overly crunchy but the perfect amount. We recommended that it should be on the permanent menu it was that good. Then we got the wavecrest: spicy yellowtail, cucumber, jalapeños on top. This was also good but not as good as the special. Both rolls were some of the best rolls we've had which was surprising to us. We definitely want to come back and try their other popular rolls! read more

First time trying this place and I just didn't fall in love with it like some other Yelp reviewers. Overpriced Japanese that describes itself as fine dining and granted--the fish was fresh but I definitely had better rolls elsewhere. It was a somewhat mild evening and the outdoor space was pretty nice. Actually all windows were open for the interior dining area as well. Red was their theme in terms of decor. Quite nice. The menu was diverse and there were some Asian small plates/tapas style dishes to choose from--for example tuna raviolis. In viewing the menu, I wasn't sure if the fusion aspect of these creations worked well. FYI: They don't have a full liquor license which meant wine, beer or sake. There were a couple Saketini cocktails on the menu. I decided to go with a pretty good Reisling and later switched to a hot sake. In terms of food, my friend and I both chose a standard roll and a special or Belly-Licious roll. I selected the Spider/Shrimp Tempura ($9) for my standard roll and the Samurai for the special roll. The latter included spicy blue crab, cucumber, crunch, red snapper, and avocado on top ($19). Honestly, I didn't taste much of the blue crab. The presentation of the rolls on the plate was appealing and service was attentive. And although the seafood was fresh, I didn't feel wowed with the flavors especially at $71 for my share. read more

I was shocked by how bad this was tonight and how poor the customer service was. We've ordered from here many times and it's been fine. The raw fish tonight tasted like it came straight out of the Hudson River, sat around for 3 days, and was sold by SUteiShi at an egregious price. We ordered spicy salmon, salmon skin, spicy yellowtail, and the King of NY rolls ($28!), on top of some pieces of raw sushi. Yellowtail tasted like it came out of a can of tuna. Even the cooked crab roll tasted horribly fishy and inedible. The salmon skin was NASTY and you could smell it before you even put it in your mouth. Being fairly loyal customers, we called to ask if we could get any type of refund or acknowledgement as we spent $130 on our order and it went in the garbage. They said the chef says he handled the fish by protocol.... Whatever that means. They also said the manager wasn't in so they didn't know what to do - mind you, it's a Saturday night. Side note - they put a piping hot miso soup in with the raw fish when I went to pick it up so the fish was warm when we got it. Disgusting. There were 2 tables in there when I went to pick my order up. Figures! Will not be back and will no longer be suggesting this place to anyone in the area. For these prices, you're much better off going to Blue Ribbon Sushi down the street. read more

It's very difficult to have sushi taste delicious and presentable in delivery, and SUteiShi exceeded expectations. We ordered the 10 piece Nigiri as well as two rolls: the orange dragon and the samurai roll. The sushi was very fresh and full of flavor - I didn't feel disgustingly gross after consumption or heavy. Definitely recommend for takeout and I would like to try this place in person - especially since it's so close to my apartment. read more

Visited last weekend in NY for a quick dinner. We were craving something unique and wanted to treat ourselves as it was our last night in town. We were staying near the financial district and found this spot along the water in a cute area. I had never done an omakase as Ive never wanted to shell out $100+. We saw they had an omakase special for 2 for $110 and this sold us. While this was a little less traditional as normally you receive one piece at a time, this was worth it. Their special comes with 16 pieces, an appetizer, and two speciality rolls. We left pretty full so this was worth the price paid. The appetizer was a breaded fluke - it was my first time trying this fish and it didn't disappoint. We also added on the king crab miso and I wish every miso I'd eat from now on, would have crab! As for the speciality rolls, we got the SUteiShi Pearl and Kimono. As a salmon lover, I was surprised to actually have favored the SUteiShi roll more (oysters + crab). The Kimono was still amazing and I loved the kelp paper as I'd never tried this. The nigiri was so fresh and my favorites were the fluke and one of the yellowtails. I just wish the rolls were more easily labeled as I got confused by having so many yellowtail options. The waitress did explain this but it was hard to remember. We also ordered tea and it had a very good smoky flavor. Overall, service was quick and servers seemed to care about your experience. The atmosphere was lovely with dark red lighting giving it an overall chic vibe. I'll definitely be stopping by on my next NYC trip. read more

Small family run sushi restaurant that quietly goes about serving up first class sushi at reasonable prices. You wouldn't expect much sitting down but will be smiling from ear to ear when you settle the check. Try the pomegranate margarita to start the meal...it's big on flavour. read more

COST · $$$ PROS · Free birthday cookie. · Of interest was an order of tuna on five pieces of chips. CONS · Expensive fare for somewhat okay food. IMPRESSION · We looked for places to hold a birthday dinner. In short, the food was okay (small portions) and expensive. However, the South Street Seaport area is a place of interest and hence the price of fares. So, I wouldn't come here if you'd like both 'tasty' food and a view. (The view is a short walk to the pier.) I wouldn't choose this spot again for a birthday dinner. I'd give the spot a solid... 2.89. I'll round up to 3.0. read more

Great food and service. The rolls are unique. Inside and outside seating options.

Thie quality has gone way down. Years ago this was the only sushi place i would go to but something must have happened because their food got sloppy. I was there a few days ago and the rolls were drippy and wet and didnt hold their shape. Also the service was terrible; the waiter got our order wrong and he did nothing about it. Donzo with this dump read more

Overpriced for what you get. Wait staff is spotty. Would not return. Go elsewhere. Eggplant appetizer was pretty good.

Just okay. There aren't too many other good sushi options in Fidi. SUteiShi quality was mediocre especially given the price and the portions were small. I wasn't so impressed with the rolls. It's also not the most authentic sushi either. The main positive is that they have options for people who are picky or have food allergies. For example you can order sushi with steamed sweet potato inside. read more

SUteiShi - Salmon on a Crispy Wonton - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I LOVED IT! Honestly, going to dinner here was a huge highlight of my time in New York. I was able to sit outside, and didn't need a reservation either. If you're visiting, definitely check this place out. It's also close to the Seaport, so be sure to walk around and enjoy the views. We ordered a few different starters, and I think the Hot and Crispy shrimp was my favorite. It reminded me of tempura shrimp, but in a popper form. There was a spicy, Sriracha type sauce on the top and it balanced the fried shrimp out quite well. The eggplant was good, and I thought it was perfectly cooked. The miso soup was also good - but it was pretty standard. I forget the exact name of the salmon specialty roll that I ordered, but it came with spicy salmon with truffle oil. It was AMAZING. I have never had salmon with truffle oil - but now I'm wondering why it's not on every menu! read more

Overall: Great lunch place, tucked away in corner Ambience: Not too fancy, not hole in the wall either. Good lunch place located in financial district. We came on a Friday and it was largely dead (given most people are WFH). Menu: Lots of options for rolls and sashimi. Regular maki rolls are $9 per. Specialty rolls are $15 per. Go for the speciality rolls, they are delicious. Appetizers were great too, especially the blistered peppers. Drinks: They had Sapporo on draft, $10 for a 16oz, and it hit the spot. Several other options for beer and cocktails if you are into that. Service: Very attentive, place is kept clean, which is important during covid. Will come here again. read more

The food, service, and ambiance was all perfect. 10/10 recommend to receive amazing sushi!

Terrible sushi experience last night at SUteiShi. Although it was a Friday, the yellowtail wasn't fresh. I think they are using canned fish for some of their sushi rolls, which is odd. The hostess was incredibly rude when seating us. SUteiShi has been around for a while, so I'm not sure what happened to make this restaurant so bad lately. They used to be okay, but now there are much better sushi options in Seaport. The customers base looks to be mostly tourist spill-over from the nearby Seaport shops. Also, this is weird, but they are trying to brand themselves as also doing Omakase. When you have a sushi restaurant with customers dining at individual tables all throughout, that's not Omakase. Usually with Omakase, it's at a bar with a chef only doing Omakase, and it is expected to include an elaborate multi-course highly ritualized meal. An authentic Omakase experience is impossible when surrounded by large groups of people at tables talking and eating complete meals. read more
