Best Sushi Place..

by patriciaroberson

it is better than average and in a city where restaurants come and go they have been around forever. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff is friendly and their fish is fresh and well prepared. This is traditional sushi, not the crazy concoctions that you often find in over-hyped, trendy restaurants. Not to say I don't appreciate the crazy, but sometimes you just want some tasty, fresh fish on rice. Well this is the place where you can go for that. Oh and for those who love to party they serve sake bombs...what can I say I'm bit of lush!

Best quality sushi at lowest price anywhere in Manhattan

by sterster

You need to be a real sushi lover to appreciate this place. Sure, they get really busy, and crowded, and it might be hard to get "perfect" service, but you're here for high quality, low cost sushi --- not to be waited on hand and foot in your own private booth. This place has a loyal fan base; many between 5-10 years. I'm on my fourth year and will keep coming regularly until they close their doors. And if they do, I don't know what I'll do!

Great if you like bad service and mysterious spicy tuna

by dberkowitzNY

Just ate here, and it was an unpleasant experience all around. First of all, there didn't seem to be any tables for two so you have to share a cramped table with others, which wasn't the worst thing, but it's not great for a relaxing night out either. Then there's the whole service issue, which was beyond spotty (for my wife and I, and the two people sharing the table with us). They seemed to forget about half my order, only to bring it out much later, after I had already ordered more. As for the quality of the fish, the nigiri was passable at best, and the cut rolls were borderline inedible. Please tell me why spicy tuna rolls would taste like tomato sauce. It was a challenge eating here, and I will never go back, though apparently my experience is an outlier here.

• Pros: Score one for value
• Cons: Quality of sushi, the wait, sharing tables, and, oh, the spicy tuna tastes like tomato sauce
