The Corcoran GroupSeptember 20, 2013This seemingly hole-in-the-wall spot serves up some of our favorite & most inventive special sushi rolls in the city. Personal favs: Big Mac, Billy Joel, Spicy Tuna Sandwich, & 8 Crazy Nights rolls.
Serious EatsAugust 5, 2013More-than-decent sushi for the neighborhood. Stick to the very fresh sashimi and straightforward rolls, both of which are better than the menu's more baroque offerings.
Elyse EstradaAugust 29, 2017I ordered delivery from this place on a Sunday no less and it blew my mind! The spicy tuna sandwich looks like a little finger sandwich but it's covered in rice like a roll. It's big but so delicious!
Ron GabrielAugust 8, 2014This is a great place to try creative sushi rolls. Very NOT traditional and minimalistic. I loved the 3rd Ave roll and the BIg Mac (funny because it is thick and hard to eat like a MIcky D's).
I have had only the hot appetizers - Japanese pork fried rice Delish, crispy calamari delish, shumai excellent, the wasabi roll is ok, the pork Goza was delish - and plum wine
Ken aJune 5, 2013The food was pretty effing good and they were all very friendly. The guys behind the counter slicing up the fish yelled "thank you" and "good night" at us even though we hadn't addressed them before.
The sushi rolls here are very unique! I keep coming back because no one else makes them this good. And I love their tobiko variety :)
Karin RApril 22, 2013Creative rolls were delicious, but I think my sushi style is minimalist/purist. Just give me sashimi. Lots of it. Oh, just give me a raw fish and I will bark like a sea lion. Right?
F-Factor NutritionAugust 6, 2012Lite Peppered Seared Tuna Salad w/ mixed greens. Yum in the tum. Get the Soy Mustard Dressing on the side to keep your salad low-cal. Remember dressings can make these innocent salads dangerous!- Ron GabrielSeptember 8, 2014Two awesome specialty rolls to try: Loop Dynamite and Spicy Tuna Sandwich. The later is hard to eat but worth the effort!
Shane WaxJune 26, 2013Great lunch specials. $8.50 for two rolls and soup or salad is better than most places in the area. But then the hit you with a $10 credit minimum.- Thomas MoJuly 12, 2014Fantastic value, especially the lunch specials. Fish to rice ratio was good. Convenient location too
I stress quality sushi as I can discern between fresh and not so fresh fish. Consistency from roll to roll. Def get crunchy tuna sandwich and pink lady
Elizabeth O'ConnorJune 29, 2013"2010" roll is more like dessert than a regular roll. Just FYI in case that turns you off. But it's delish!- Chicken lettuce wrap not very good - stick with what I know - shumai, Japanese pork fried rice, Plum wine!
Stephanie RivkinFebruary 1, 2015Great miso soup. If you're a tuna fan, go for the spicy tuna pizza, but be ready for lots of crunch.
I keep forgetting to tip...crispy rice with spicy tuna on top is crazy and so is the big Mac roll. Yum!
Amazing sushi - in both quality and presentation. I think of Loop as a more affordable and more intimate Koi. Reco the spicy tuna on crispy rice to start.
HaleyMay 27, 2012Best sushi in the city. 3rd ave roll and sunshine roll and big Mac are the way to go!
E ADecember 10, 2012Their Unagi Don wasn't great. The unagi sauce was too overpowering and the eel felt like mush. Their rolls and udon are yummy though!
Phil TorontoMarch 18, 2011Great spot to have lunch on a nice day. Great soundtrack, friendly staff, and enjoyable atmosphere!
Calvin MultanenJune 18, 2015Sushi is pretty good quality. Kind of pricey for dinner but lunch specials are good value
AlyJanuary 18, 2011the big mac is the yummiest and most unique sushi roll i've ever had the pleasure of eating.
Danny BirnbaumMarch 1, 2012Checking this place out thanks to @Jaimiewatson7...bad news bears bout to put a smile on their face with some sake!
Lindsay CramesOctober 3, 2011Ginger dressing, crispy tuna, big mac, mochi, and black cod! Life changing
Some of the best sushi in it's price range, and some of the best in the neighborhood. Get a Big Mac roll!
Munny KheraJanuary 15, 2014The Big Mac roll was a tasteless mess of everything. The 3rd Ave roll was decent.
miachel pruettJuly 28, 2011"Veggie Sushi" has great variety and flavor. Check out "2010" for something crazy. ;)
