Takeout only but oh so good.
You know you have a genuine Japanese experience when your order is completed with an orange to enjoy after the meal.
Reasonable prices and delicious, fresh food.
Had it twice in a row over our visit.

Very fresh and delicious food. Good for takeout or delivery. Wouldn’t eat here bc so small and no ambiance. Ordered online and my husband went to pick up. He said they really take their time preparing as he got there and still had to wait 40 minutes but worth it bc it was delicious.

This place was across from our hotel. The restaurant seats only 12 inside. But the sushi was good and it seems the neighborhood agrees because the delivery people were in and out the entire time we were there. Sushi chef was BUSY!

We actually stumbled upon this restaurant looking for something else. The place is small but every table was full and the delivery guy was constantly running carryout. The mushroom soup is outstanding and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Best of all...a $20 bottle of wine made our dinner even better.

We travelled to NYC for a family vacation. This restaurant was close to our hotel, and we walked past it many times. We decided to try it out for dinner on our last night, wish we had tried it earlier! The sushi was delicious. The restaurant is a bit small, but you can get takeout if you like. We had the Dynamite and Dragon Rolls as well as the Salmon Sashmi. the only reason I didn’t give it a 5 was because of the size.

I love their food. Good portion and affordable in Manhattan. My favorite is bento lunch or dinner.
Plus points:
- The lunch is around €11,95 and dinner is €18,95, dinner is more expensive because bigger portions. With bento box you will get salad, 3pcs dimsum, sushi 6pcs, rice, meat (chicken,salmon, beef etc), vegetables and miso soup. Really nice to fill your stomach.
- We eat sushi every month, and based on our experience their sushi is good and fresh made by the chef (you can see them making the sushi in the restaurant).
- They didn’t push you to pay min 18% tipping. I came from europe where tipping is not “a must” but we will always give it based on our experience. So i prefer to eat here more than eat in the restaurant who push us to tip almost as expensive as the food it self.
Min point:
Unfortunately their restaurant is really small, not suitable with small child (baby) they have no baby chair, so your baby need to sit on their stroller and it will be really tight space.

This was absolutely amazing! The Passion Lobster roll and sandwich were delicious. The sashimi was fresh and awesome, especially the Stripe Bass and Yellowtail! Would eat there again tomorrow but sadly heading back to Florida! I’ll miss ya!!! ;)

Daughter and I went here for take out. Restaurant is very tiny—feels on top of others. It’s too tiny for us. However the food is excellent. My daughter loves her sushi. When in nyc and you want fast service for take out-give this place a try.

When our party of 5 wanted sushi for dinner, we found this place within walking distance of our hotel. Since we were eating somewhat early, they were able to seat us right away. I didn't realize how small the place would be! There was only about 3 tables, and we took up one. They do make the best use of space, though. The staff was very nice and patient with us while we decided what to order. I do not like sushi, so I got the General Chicken. It was a huge serving and delicious! My friends said the sushi was also very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal! As others have said, it's probably more of a take-out than eat-in space. But our experience was good.

Previous reviews are spot on. Hole in the wall. Not dirty. Just tiny and looks like a take out with few tables. Sushi was high quality and a great value. Eel🤣 king crab 🤩 spicy scallop 😍.
