    Top-notch sushi at a good price. Every bite of raw fish on rice is a joy, but you'll miss out if you don't try one of the hot dishes, like the silky uni porridge. Critics' choice for best sushi bar.

    Awesome fresh fish rolls + great service. Loved the spicy salmon roll, the scallop roll. The unagi avocado was a bit overwhelming in size. The neta was same size but not as overwhelming. Jasmine tea

    The Spicy salmon canapé was amazing only to be topped by the shrimp tempura and szechuan salmon roll. This is definitely one of the best rolls I've tasted.

    Start with sushi, very fresh. As second, ask for the Umami Donburi. Excellent prices for Restaurant Week, but make sure to book a table. Excellent attendance.

    Unique omakase at three price points - $110, $150 and $230. The first one is more than filling, and the dishes are super creative! Great cocktails too.

    Bbehind the bar is high-level sushi creation, plus a menu of small plates like razor-clam risotto with soy-braised veal, and a grilled scallop served with uni, garlic-soy butter and lime. Read more

    One of the best sushi spots in NYC. The service is fantastic and the food is even better. Try the Szechuan spiced salmon!

    This place was awesome. Tough to get a ressie but a real hidden village gem. The wok fried lobster was the best dish I've had in a while!

    The miso tofu avocado roll was a refreshing veggie addition (and is one of more than ten vegetable roll options for those who pass on seafood). Read more

    The nontraditional omakase (featuring Americanized novelties like spicy salmon, and is punctuated with ultracreamy peanut-butter ice cream) rivals even that of the staunchest of sushi classicists. Read more

    Top-notch sushi doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive or posh. Neta's prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and everything is delivered with minimum fuss. Read more

    The chefs from Masa and Bar Mas old up their reputation here. The omakase is the way to go and the uni porridge was fantastic. Only thing that worries me is the cursed local..

    the uni is to die for, the toro sushi is heavenly (even if it's expensive) and the shubui cocktail is a beautiful blend of gin, lime, peppercorn and (yes!) scallions

    Small plates/tapas are truly special, rolls and nigiris are not. Omakase includes all of those styles and is priced based on number of courses and quality of ingredients.

    Your mileage may vary depending on what you get. The uni porridge and wagyu uni sushi are a must. The rolls however disappoint. The salmon canapé roll tastes very pale and lackluster in comparison.

    Omakase for sure. Amazing fish, everything is really interesting and delicious. Hands down the best uni I've ever had (fyi it's from santa Barbara )

    One of our favorite restaurants for upscale Japanese sushi and more (cocktails, too). Though prices are far from cheap, Neta offers a much better value than Manhattan's sushi giants.

    Very filling omakase. Mix of appetizers, hot dishes, sushi, and rolls. The peanut butter ice cream at the end was amazing!

    A great non-sushi part of their omakases but the sushi segment is a bit lacking. A bit expensive at $230 for 14 courses

    My 5x and it breaks my heart to say this time it was just ok. Some dishes were too salty&other dishes were underwhelming. I ordered the $150 omakase. High note, Crémant was delish&service was great

    What upset me was that they refused to accommodate my request to stop serving me the omakase after I told them I was full. This was after we ordered an expensive bottle of sake.
