Ms HeleneOctober 30, 2016Daily fresh fish specials. Uni from CA or Japan. Garden salad $5, yellowtail jalapeño $13 & uni sushi CA $3.50 per piece. Never too busy and quiet enough to hear your friends.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...This is the BEST omakase deal! Chef Jack Wei is the most underrated sushi chef in NYC! My favorite sushi place, no contest!
The truffle red snapper, the seared salmon truffle oil sashimi is amazing and do not forget the Kumamoto oysters. I do not know why this place does not have a better rating. Please check in and like!!
Ahn BustamanteDecember 8, 2019Awesome restaurant near Astor place. They are so friendly with the kids they even made the chopsticks to make it easier for them. Delicious food! Try the Salmon Lover.
- They have the most amazing mushroom soup I've ever had. Ever. I'm not joking. What a sleeper of a restaurant. The uni is also insanely fresh and the sushi is on-point.
Ruby AnayaApril 21, 2016Had a great omakase - the sushi pieces were just the right size - not too big. Get the hitachino white ale to go with it!
Nick AndlingerMarch 21, 2017My favorite weeknight sushi spot. Fresh fish and a glorious tekka don. Go here!
Caroline DengMay 15, 2016Amazing lunch special: 3 Maki rolls for $12.50, and bento boxes are a good deal during lunch time. Eel salmon rolls and soft and have a great ratio of fish to rice.- Any sushi/sashimi with truffle anything is fantastic. Salmon with truffle oil, snapper with summer truffles... Omg =)...
Dianna H.October 6, 2012Get the Yuba Combo Platter (8 pieces sashimi, 8 pieces sushi & 1 roll.) That + the Yuba roll (so unique!) & the "sweet corn tempura" (aka Asian corn fritters) was the perfect amount for 2 people. Yum!
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 23, 2011Sit at the bar and chat with George and Jack and the begin the Omakase! Make sure you try the Uni, Hamachi, Karaage and Yuba Pouch. The food and the value are amazing.
TeresaAugust 19, 2014The rock shrimp canape roll is absolutely delicious - dream worthy. This place is a hidden gem around Astor place!
- Leemor YuravlivkerOctober 16, 2018Sushi and sashimi platter for lunch is not a bad deal. Time from order to being served was long, so it’s not for a quick bite
Jean LeeApril 6, 2014The omakase is one of the best in the city. Say hi to Chef Jack if you sit at the sushi bar...he will take great care of you!
Elie BleierJuly 16, 2014Absolutely outstanding service. Ordered the spicy special at the recommendation of the server. While it wasn't spicy, it was fresher than your average roll, and tastier too :-)- Sit at the bar and ask Jack to serve you whatever he wants. One of the best sushi dinners I have ever had! Will be back again and again!!
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014One of the best plates to sample is the risotto-style uni rice. Read more
Everything a sushi restaurant should be. Excellent spicy tuna and salmon rolls. Highly recommend.
Get the green tea crepe for dessert!! It has 20 crepe layers in the cake and it's just the perfect end to a meal.
Wow - amazing! We got the omakase 5 course at the sushi counter. Uni, sweet corn, foie gras & duck bun (unbelievably good), and all of the sushi were superb.- Lindsay CApril 15, 2016Fresh, high quality sushi and sashimi! Recommend the yellowtail usuzukari and chef's choice sushi/sashimi.
Kay R.September 18, 2015Best omakase i've ever had. Chef explains you every dish and where the fish is coming from.
Absolutely fantastic sushi. The amber roll is amazing.
Stina P.October 19, 2016super fresh affordable sushi tucked away near coopers union and east village
Monica DamashekOctober 4, 2014Ridiculously good uni. Sit at the sushi bar and get the assorted chef's choice - worth it.- Holy shit the filet mignon screwers are the best I've ever had
- S. FanAugust 23, 2012Little germ among st.marks little Tokyo. Not your average Japanese, menu is tailored to higher end / rare fish. More different options than other cheapo /pseudo Japanese.
Maryam AlyMay 13, 2015They have great service. One time, our table was a little wobbly, so our waiter leveled it for us.
Lillian CheungApril 17, 2015Lunch specials are a good deal (I got 3 rolls for $12!) and service is great
suzanne 🌶August 2, 2012This place had me at "yuba". I love the menu- unique dishes. Don't forget to order the yuba pouch under appetizers.
The platters are wonderful. But also try the King Salmon sashimi!
- Stefano CalzolariOctober 2, 2014Best sushi I've ever had in NYC. Try the salmon rolls or the shrimp rolls.
Paul CarterMarch 10, 2013Jack is the main chef - try omakase - fresh scallop three ways plus many more
- Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Use of Uni in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Delcious sea urchin topped rice is the dish to order here.
Diane ChienOctober 14, 2011The most delicious sushi restaurant in nyc imho. Come, sit at the bar, and ask for recommendations.
Christian MartinezApril 18, 2012Some of the best Spicy tuna i have had in the Village. Jack knows how to hook it up.
Sit at the sushi bar and ask chef Jack for the inside scoop on the day's special fish.
Danny WenFebruary 18, 2011Green tea crepe is not to be missed. By Lady M, only select Japanese restaurants get this green tea version of the cake.

"One of the more “affordable” omakases in Manhattan. We went with the 15 course and it was a good value. Very innovative and decadent pieces, all very delicious."
