Leslie TengJanuary 26, 2016Great helpful service. Fantastic food; the restaurant week menu was delicious. The cocktail tree came with nice flair; the nashi cocktail was refreshing, the lychee cooler was thick and almost creamy,
Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015The São Paulo roll is a great sushi roll. Made with scallop, masago, red onion, tuna, salmon, shrimp, yellowtail, avocado, truffle, chive oil & hatcho miso soy.
Barbie NYCMarch 23, 2016I love sushisamba! Everything is soo good, as drink.. order the Cosmopolitan with gray goose (no lime juice) EXCELLENT!
Benjamin La MadridJune 17, 2015I know everyone comes to SushiSamba for great sushi, but you have to treat yourself to the Churrasco Rio Grande. It is the best steak I think I've ever had!!
- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015Love the Seviche De Mariscos. My favorite ceviche on the menu! Made with lobster, colossal crab meat, shrimp, rocoto, cilantro, cashew & coconut milk.
- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015Definitely try the Kuromitsu Glazed Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps appetizer. Made with palmito, frisée, micro cilantro & jalapeño-shallot vinaigrette. One of the best lettuce wraps I have had.
PhabiAugust 19, 2012Everything we ate was unbelievably amazing! This is what we ate: Edamame, Wagyu Gyoza, Samba7, El Topo, & the Pacific. We drank Samba-tini's Try everything! Soo delicious!
isawgirlOctober 9, 2014The sushi is yum! The serving is big enough for 3 people. And best to get the seat at the counter. You'll enjoy the chefs at work.
- Gabriel HayesAugust 25, 2015Order the Yamato roll off the menu. Sushi roll with tuna, foie gras & gold leaf. $$$$ pricey but so amazing.
NaeFebruary 8, 2015Awesome food and drinks!Our waiter spoke pretty fast but she was very helpful in suggesting sushi orders for us. The management was actively checking on my table making sure things were satisfactory.
Rick NijhuisNovember 12, 2016Great atmosphere but menu is a bit uninspiring with Nobu rip-offs like black cod, rock shrimp tempura, yellowtail with jalapeños - just not at the same quality level. Did enjoy the pork belly though..
Jessica WickhamMarch 4, 2017The mushroom and poached egg hot plate starter was amazing! Umami rolls were great as well. Nicer inside than it looks from outside, give it a try!- BaileyNovember 20, 2015Great fresh sushi, a bit expensive but worth it if you want good stuff. It can take a while to get a table since it's in high demand.
- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015A great tuna tataki. Served with asparagus, heart of palm, avocado, tatsoi & garlic citrus soy.
- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015Love the Salt and Pepper Squid. One of my favorite appetizers. Served with dry miso, shichimi, sea salt, crispy garlic & smoked soy.
Get the yellow tail taquitos, melts in your mouth! Also the peruvian corn with the rib eye anticuchos is sooo good. El Topo is a surprisingly solid dish.Though avoid the mojito, very watered down...
Jill HimayaFebruary 12, 2016The Rock Shrimp Tempura, the Spicy Scallop Roll, The Specialty Spicy Tuna Roll and The Strawberry Presecco Bubbletail are all awesome!
Swemeatballs .March 2, 2011Really like this fusion - sushi and south american/ brazilian cuisine. The cocktails are excellent and so is the Brazilian dark beer- Xingu. The sushi are excellent but do also try the seafood dishes
Michelle WilesOctober 20, 2016Eh. More hype than delicious imo. Better sushi and nice ambiance to be found at blue ribbon or tomoe
HeenaMarch 1, 2015HH! All cocktails. Get cocktail tree. Mushroom app and corn fritter app is must. Rolls: el toro made veg or amazon soo good!
Rell ReneéSeptember 1, 2014Try the ceviche! Lobster, shrimp and crab served cold in a coconut! Magnificent.
Nae Nae RockJune 21, 2017The atmosphere wasvery nice especially with the added back ground music.The sushi menu was not exciting but great if you want *sushi on the go*..
HeidiAugust 12, 2017Good place to catch up but don't come for food. Fresh sashimi but overall small portions and lacking oomph in flavor. Samba Sour cocktail came with a lot of food dye garnish.
NearSay NYCAugust 3, 2011N-Sider favorite: Spicy Yellow tail, Samba roll which has jalapeno in it and the Bo Bo Brazil with Kobe beef. The mix of Japan and Brazil really brings out some intense flavors!- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015My favorite sushi roll is the El Topo roll. Made with salmon, jalapeño, shiso leaf, fresh melted mozzarella & crispy onion.
Nina Fresa = best cocktail I have ever had. Yummy sliders and incentive sushi rolls like the el topo and the neo tokyo
Serious EatsOctober 2, 2013Trendy fusion sushi with a lively crowd. Desserts offer some pleasant surprises.
Alisa JacobsJuly 21, 2011Restaurant week menu is good for $35 at dinner. Choose pork belly, sushi plate and chocolate whisky custardy thing. Good mojitos too but pitchers are $45 - just so you know.
Mehmet BakirciogluOctober 11, 2011Very unusual Japanese-Brazilian fusion, little pricey but worth every penny. Definitely try Samba 7 roll. The ambiance inside is very unique. Service was quiet good.
Zach KnoxSeptember 12, 2013The sea bass skewer things are to die for. And we love ourselves some George and his guidance on the tasting menu.
angelo wAugust 31, 2010This place has a really cool vibe. In the summer, Friday nights are the best times to go. This is also a great date and gathering spot. The sushi is cool and the drinks are good too.
Rodrigo Narciso G da SilvaMarch 12, 2016Sao Paulo rolls, amazing. Also good shrimp tempura. Music too loud but very cool decor.- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015The Ishiyaki is an experience. Cook your own wagyu beef on hot stones. Pricey but wonderful.
GhaidaAugust 17, 2016Tuna Tataki is to die for. Its the best I've ever had! Try the ceviche de mariscos as well.
Omar Garcia-BolivarAugust 30, 2013Best restaurant EVER, I reccomend the five course meal. It is a bit small at first but at the end gets bigger.- Gabriel HayesAugust 24, 2015Amazing Caipirinhas. Best one I have had in the city and my favorite cocktail here.
RestoManifesto ManagerFebruary 9, 2014El topo is a must! Also the green bean tempura which comes with a fantastic truffle sauce.
New York HabitatOctober 31, 2011Nice casual spot for sushi and cocktails in the West Village with a fairly lou atmosphere. Come during happy hour weekdays 4-7pm
Suzannah SimmonsDecember 12, 2014Ask for the fresh raspberry mojito. It's no longer on the menu, but Carlos the bartender knows how to make it.
Nostaljik KediOctober 28, 2013You should drink Samba Juice...Very exotic and cozy...Loved the place, very elegant and fancy >^.^<
Homer M.July 15, 2010try the el topo roll (salmon, jalapeño, shiso leaf, melted fresh mozzarella, crispy onion). i'm drooling just thinking bout it. lol brunch here is good too....can't beat their Churrasco & Eggs.- SukiSeptember 20, 2020Never knew this was a Sex and the City joint until after it closed! They had an amazing, umami wagyu beef roll with truffle salt
Jazzie ChanelOctober 1, 2017Sushi here is so good! Prime location for people watching. Stay for dessert!
LogoTVMarch 8, 2011“The best sushi on the island in one of the sexiest atmospheres around. You’ll always feel like Carrie Bradshaw when you eat here. You MUST try the Samba 7 Roll! YUM!” – Jonathan, Setup Squad
Mike BloomFebruary 4, 2016Had the tasting menu - was a little pricy for the sushi offerings but still very delicious
