Met up my two friends for a dinner and the place was lovely! Their selection of whiskeys were top notch, the sushi was fresh, and the service was quite attentive! Though I wasn’t overly fond of the dessert, the rest was incredible! I adored the mushroom soup (I could eat the whole pot) and the tekka don was amazing. Everyone was so lovely to us and the decor is nice!

I ordered a lunch set, and the sashimi and sushi were very fresh. Great service and reasonable price.

I came for a weeknight dinner and got the haha roll and the sushi/sashimi entree. Loved the tempura bits in the haha roll, but I'm not sure if I was a fan of the sushi/sashimi entree. There were generous servings of a variety of fish, but each bite did not leave my taste buds with a smooth, buttery taste. Staff was friendly and the interior was modern and clean. They don't have an online reservation system so you have to place a reservation over the phone. Overall this place was fine if you don't generally have super high standards for sashimi or sushi.

We really enjoyed our dinner here, the staff were really friendly, their food is good.

We especially enjoyed the Lovers roll and their Shishito which was awesome!

I would've gave this place 4, maybe 5 stars if it wasn't for the customer service.

My daughter and I tasted 3 different wines. The waitress seemed annoyed with each tasting, including the very first one she gave us. We ended up opting for martinis since we didn't like any of the white's we tasted.

We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu and several sushi a la carte items from the regular menu.

All was tasty and fresh except for the most expensive piece, which was a Toro Sushi for $12. It was chewy. My daughter tried to take one bite and with fail put it back down on her plate. She basically had a mangled piece of fish on her plate at this point. When we called the waitress over and asked for a substitution piece, a hamachi which is only $4 on the menu not nearly the cost of the toro, the chef said no stating the sushi was fresh. We advised the waitress it was a matter of the cut not freshness. Then she said she still couldn't substitute and that they all tasted the toro and it was fine. At this point I demanded that they give my daughter a proper cut of toro which they did. This piece was actually worth the $12. It tasted fresh and melted in your mouth like butter as it should.

The mere fact that the waitress and sushi chef kept challenging us was a complete turnoff, as was the obvious fact that the waitress didn't seem happy about pouring us tastings of their subpar wines.

Minus the customer service and hit or miss sushi, the rest of our order was great. Would I come back here after our experience, NO.

Just found out that my friend owns half of this restaurant so i came down for a feast. Its location is easier to find parking and not too much traffic on the road, which means conveniency. The restaurant has friendly and eco decor, i did imagine it would have a steady flow of regulars. Pricing is reasonable since this is NY. I ordered some sashimi and rolls for try out and i was astonished. Just look at the Otoro, you dont need to spent $2000 to go to Masa for a weekly delivery of fresh Otoro (unless you just want the artistry show from the chef himself)... this restaurant definitely has the quality beyond its unmatched pricing. Would definitely come visit again.

Absolutely phenomenal place for uptown manhattan! Service and sushi was fantastic! We were there after the peak hours, so it was fast and focused service. The waiters knew just when they were needed. They stood aside, prepared to attend to your every need the moment you looked up to find them!

We had the Niku roll, Amsterdam roll and the Spicy lobster roll. We also had the rock shrimp, edamame, miso soup and of course, sake! Everything was top of the line. Highly recommended place if you're a sushi fan.
