With a reputation not only for its great sushi by Toshio Oguma, innovative bimonthly specials by Elizabeth Reyes. With all its warmth and comfort Sumile Sushi is to many, a second home.

Editorial Review for Sumile – by Paul Adams

The Scene
Clean aqua, cream and gray tones set a cool mood in the narrow dining room--an ambience only somewhat spoiled by the reverberating din of diners' voices. Service is attentive.

The Food
The menu consists of a dozen or so Pan-Asian small plates, all devoid of starch of any kind. The staff recommends three or four dishes per diner; in practice, however, even four may feel skimpy, and ordering five makes for a pretty pricey dinner. Flavors, though, are abundant: The dishes are subtle yet quite tasty. A potent, texturally pleasing salad of squid and mixed fresh beans, and a quartet of Kumamoto oysters with pineapple vinegar stand out. Fatty calf's-head terrine with duck's-tongue salad is a rarefied taste, but excellently prepared. The bar area up front serves sushi, and rolls can be ordered "battleship" style, meaning diners can sample just a few pieces. Among desserts, the trio of tea-flavored panna cottas is very good.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

There are several wines available by the glass ($10 each) and a lot more by the bottle, many of them rare. House cocktails, including a pungent, opaque ginger martini and a sweetly delicate vodka/shiso/yuzu blend, are worth trying.

Know Before You Go

The restaurant offers two multicourse tasting menus, for $80 and $100.

Where to Sit

Sit up front at the bar for sushi; sit at the restaurant's tables for everything else.

I went there last night with my friends and we were very happy of what we got. the food was amazing and so is the service. all the employees were so friendly and understanding. the decor is romantic and very cozy. and on top of that, two of the casts from Gossip Girl (Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford) was in the same restaurant.

Pros: reasonable price, good food and attentive service

Cons: none
