Jon Trainor: Great sushi! Big cuts of fresh fish. A bit on the expensive side but it was worth it. Got the boat for two and it was a little small so I recommend sticking with the deluxe rolls
Steven Fleisher: Sushi Yasuda is my favorite. Sushi Damo is #2 in Manhattan. The bar scene is also underated. Sean the bartender is the nicest, coolest, fun and warmest bar tender in town.
Marisa Franco: DO NOT COME HERE.sushi was not fresh and very low quality. The tuna had a chewy jello texture if you can imagine and when I sent it back, the manager took it back with an annoyed look and no apology.
