good sushi

by wulansuya

basicalIy sushi and sashimi are worthy to try, and their lunch boxes. i loved it the first 2 times eating there, just last time I found hair in my rice... a big turn-off. guess that happens to almost every restaurant though.

  • Pros: sushi
  • Cons: sanitation

Skip this one

by nycsamurai

I live around the corner and I've tried this place twice. Both times there were flies EVERYWHERE! It was the middle of Winter as well. I was waving them away so much it looked as if I was speaking in sign language to my Japanese wife. For a restaurant serving raw fish this is just a complete no no. Food and service was mediocre at best but the environment was intolerable.

  • Pros: Convenient location
  • Cons: Scary environment
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Awesome sushi

by grenner

I used to live around this neighboorhood and let me tell you i still crave their sushi. Although the rolls (spicy tubna roll) are small they are really delicious. Delivery is great, going there is good too.

great service and sushi

by zyzgy

ordered sushi for delivery but a couple of the pieces were of lower quality than expected. after calling them to tell them about it, they went out of their way to make sure that everything was resolved to my satisfaction (as well as their standards). since they take delivery of fresh fish every day, i was informed by them that it was probably a supplier issue and that they would take up the issue with them. everything else in the order was quite good as usual. one of the best sushi places in murray hill.

  • Pros: fast delivery
  • Cons: sushi

Great sushi and wonderful service

by hayleighlovesushi

My boyfriend and I had sushi here and we truly enjoyed our meal. The fish were fresh and well prepared and eventhough you won't expect to see fancy rolls and other specialties, the selections are well rounded and typical of a Japanese sushi joint. We were seated on the first floor and we would love to try the second floor the next time we are here.

Our waitress was simply wonderful and very accomodating. She always have a smile on her face and made us feel very special. Her service was attentive and pleasant.

Overall, we love it here and would come back often!

  • Pros: Great fresh sushi, very accomodating service
  • Cons: Seating on the first floor is a little tight
