Christine Ha: Reasonably priced omakase: $100 for app, 10 nigiri, 1/2 maki roll, hand roll, miso soup. BYOSake 🍣
Lauren: Prices range from $95-$99 depending on what’s on offer, but the omakase menu consistently includes akadashi miso soup, crispy fluke, ten pieces of chef-selected sushi, one half roll and one hand roll.
Dmitry Witman: It's one of the 2-3 best omakase sets that i had, including places in Tokyo. Really, really good!
B Zeids: Really excellent lunch deal- 2 rolls, miso soup, & a nice fresh salad for $8! The sweet potato roll and spicy tuna roll were delicious.
Jessie Catana: Ordered delivery which was prompt and delicious. The miso soup and gyoza were very delicious. Also got the Spicy Kani roll and the Tuna Cucumber roll. All in all, good quality and tasty.

ZenFoodster: SKIP shabby decor, rude svc + dining in @ this Gari OG shop in UES. Instead, order $65 Gari Special - a mini-omakase w/ 8 of Gari’s star sushi pcs, Chopped Toro w/ Pickled Radish roll & Red Miso soup
Lash: Serious one of the best sushi places I've ever been to. Get the omakase - tell them what you don't eat and what you like!
New York Habitat: An exquisite raw fish experience with uniquely crafted pieces. Try the tuna with tofu cream, flounder with lotus chip, and the foie gras sushi.

Marguerite El: The pastas are great and the quality of the fish is wonderful. Great wines by the glass
The Wall Street Journal: With 82 seats, Kappo Masa is a comfortable space that also looks to be making its mark in the field of industrial design. Aside from the decor the food is second to none. Be sure to try the truffles. Read more.
The Wall Street Journal: For those looking to treat themselves, there is a lunch omakase created by the chef for $175, which includes three appetizers, five flights of sushi, dessert and tea. Read more.

Nancy: Food was very good (rolls, miso soup), service excellent, but our meal was interrupted by large waterbug/cockroach that jumped on us, circled dining area-couldn’t finish. They were gracious, comped.
Lee Hoffman: The sautéed tomato piece is amazing, the eggplant amazing
Village Voice: Stay until 3am at this late-night sushi spot, and you might just catch celebrity chefs like Daniel Boulud and Gordon Ramsay who often frequent here after work.

Roman Morozov: Bentoo dinner is really great and would be enough even if you hungry as a wolf :)Love this place, dont miss it.
Miranda Rensch: Omg get the white truffle tuna, I just died of happiness.
Oshman: Freshest/best sushi not named Sushi of Gari on the UES imo.
Ginger Root: -Sauteed Eggplant in Basil Garlic Sauce on bed of String Beans. -Orange Seitan Breaded Medallions of Wheat Protein Sauteed in a Spicy Citrus Sauce, over a bed of Broccoli.
Lee Hecht: Incredible and consistently great vegan food- get their Seitan dishes, or their General Tsao Tofu, or their Bibimbap. Quick delivery.
Rema Rao: One of the best vegan places on the UES!! Check it out!
