F-Factor Nutrition: Fish is so so fresh you dont even need the rice. Sashimi :) amazing. Def no need for spicy mayo and tempura flakes. Skinny and delicious #FFactorApproved
Amber Rachael: The most amazing sushi in NYC! Very expensive, but the fish is so fresh that it melts in your mouth!
ZenFoodster: Reservations needed for I've-died-&-gone-to-heaven sushi! No creative rolls here. All about fresh, raw fish & for sushi purists. Order Chef's starred daily fish & definitely splurge for the Omakase!

Dens: Omakase from the downstairs sushi bar is amazing. Don't leave without trying the hand rolls (go spicy tuna!). I was also digging the salmon-meets-blowtorch sushi. Ask for fresh wasabi too.
New York Habitat: If you are a sushi lover, this is the right place! Make sure to try their spicy tuna rolls, and Sushi & Sashimi Combination. And the prices are good for what you get!
Jose Manuel: Sushi is amazing, also salmon carpaccio. Tempura is really good too.

Frank Rimalovski: Awesome fresh upscale Greek. All the fish is superb (especially the Char) but beware of market prices. Ask the price per lb. It's ok. Must try the zucchini chips. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Wendi Weinman: Best fresh fish nice big restaurant with good vibe and friendly staff
Julie Tringali: Oh my word. The fish was light, fresh, and cooked perfectly. They did a sub par job of de-boning it though. Get the mountain green side...perfection. Service wasn't stellar though.

Iggy Fanlo: Great fresh fish. I am the only gaijin on a Thursday evening. Sure sign of a winner. All Japanese expats or business people
Jardin Anderson: A hidden gem! Easy to miss, walk down the stairs. Sashimi is so fresh and as the place is so small and cosy the service is great. Go the tuna - you won't be disappointed.
Gene Rayburn: Great fish, but I don't understand the music they play here. Madonna and disco don't make for a relaxing dinner. Put on some jazz!
