This place is one of the best spots in NYC. Chris is such an amazing host!…read more We came in on the night of the Noah Kahan concert cancellation at Citi Field. We had our shirts on, and Chris asked if he was playing that night. When we told him the show had been canceled and that we were really bummed, we said we decided to come here instead. Chris immediately told us he'd make our night better -- and he absolutely did. He put Noah Kahan on the speakers, and we chatted, chanted, and connected throughout our meal. What started as a disappointing night turned into such a memorable experience. Chris made us feel so welcomed and completely changed the energy of the evening. What stood out even more was that Chris was just as attentive and welcoming to everyone else in the restaurant. We sat in the bar area, and the level of care and customer service from the host to the chefs was incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for great food and an even better experience, this is the spot!

Came here on a Friday night and had some of the best sushi I have ever had! It's more of a takeout…read morespot but there are a few seats inside and some tables outside. We got the nigiri deluxe, maki box, wagyu nigiri (incredible) and yellowtail jalapeño appetizer and everything was incredible. The texture of the sushi is buttery and so incredibly fresh. The service was super quick and they give free sake! Truly some of the best sushi I have ever had and will absolutely come back!

Both of us ended up leaving after eating and ordering full double burgers AFTER we had an entire lunch there. Oh and FYI there hamachi kami is DEEP FRIED and tastes like fryer; the multigrain rice was WAY mushy and overcooked. (I should have sent this back. Ridiculous.) Also the lettuce and lime it was served over was brown-- ugh. See pic.

If you live in the UES and haven't gone here, what are you doing? This place has amazing sushi…read moredeals - we got 7 rolls for less than $30. Cash only. Ideally you call in ahead so you can just pick up (there's no seating). It's a family owned small business, no frills. You come here for good value sushi and maybe a bottled drink. Our favorite roll was the raw shrimp and avocado roll. Can you believe all this was under $30? In this economy?? For two people, we were stuffed and had leftovers for dinner.

So nice large pieces of nigiri, good quality fish, wasn't toro but still good quality and nice warm well seasoned rice. With that said, it feels like it costs a bit too much for what it is. If this came with a spicy tuna roll or even an mis soup I'd feel a bit better about forking over $43 for it. With that said, if you like torched sushi, this will scratch an itch you just might want to get something else and that could make this costly.

The service was absolutely lovely and very attentive, did not hover but was around when needed. The pieces come one by one if you order the set menu, and then you can also add on after it - hand rolls and nigiri. The roe and snapper were some of my favourite. I'd love to try the uni next time! The nigiris are as equally pretty as they are delicious. If you love ya girl, bring her here!

This is a very good omakase for the price point. We selected the Chef's Menu ($155/person)…read more The restaurant itself it standard. Very upscale for the price, so a good value. My only gripe is that the bathroom is located in an area that is not air conditioned and has unpleasant smells coming from the kitchen. All the pieces were very good and fresh. My favorite was the scallop. It was particularly good. I enjoyed their miso soup and the fresh apple-flavored ice cream. My least favorite was the tamago and the handroll - it had baby sardines or whitefish.

Amazing AFFORDABLE sushi right next to Central Park!!…read more 15 dollar tray for 3 8pc sushi rolls and 3pc nigiri (salmon, tuna, yellowtail). For the 3 sushi rolls u get salmon, tuna, and yellowtail and can choose between the maki and spicy rolls. I got the spicy salmon and tuna and maki yellowtail because I didn't know how good quality the fish would be but my friend got the maki salmon and I have to say, the maki rolls are WAY better than the spicy rolls. Fish is good quality, but they also put some sort of rice puffs into the spicy salmon/tuna mix as a filler and I wasn't the biggest fan. The salmon and yellowtail nigiri was delicious but the tuna was just a bit fishy for me, but besides that everything is delicious! This is a takeout spot and the service is quick and efficient, we walked to Central Park and had a nice picnic :) If I came here again, I'd definitely get their $15 tray again and get the maki rolls, it's so worth the price :)

bring cash!!! solid…read moretakeout sushi for a good price. i have no complaints except i don't like lean tuna that much but otherwise this was a decent quality box of sushi. salmon was the best as per usual very fatty and fresh and the yellowtail was a sleeper hit. they paired it with scallion which provided a nice tang. the triple box is a good bang for ur buck. don't get the spicy one tho cuz every spicy roll tastes and looks exactly the same lol

We were the only customers there at 5pm and we got the full show. I was not only full but impressed by Kevin's kindness and knowledge. We had a blast learning about our food and enjoying the vibes. I highly recommend this location for its very enjoyable omakase.

Their sushi deluxe. With ponzu, it came to $41 delivered, which is honestly a great value…read more Now, I've got mixed feelings here. You're really only getting four types of fish -- salmon, tuna, white tuna, and yellowtail. Roll options are tuna, salmon, or the obligatory sad California roll (I went with salmon). It also comes with miso soup and one of those throwaway salads -- all iceberg with a stray cucumber and tomato. But here's the thing: the fish is fresh (look at the shine on that salmon), and the pieces are big for the price. This is a blue-collar sushi deluxe. It's not glamorous, but it's reliable. If I had to put it another way -- this is the woman you marry because she's steady, safe, and will never blindside you with drama. Not the flashiest, but you know what you're getting every time. Overall, Sushi Para gets a solid B from me. Fresh, fair, and filling. For the full breakdown, check out The Raw Report on TikTok

It DOES NOT look like the picture on the menu at all nor is it the desciption. They also sent a sweet potato roll with a bunch of sauce all over it AFTER I literally had called to double check and they said no sauce, that there is no sauce, THEN they do not even call me after the order arrived wrong-- and I am waiting around for an hour for a call. But the lady on the phone said there should not be sauce all over the roll. I PURPOSELY called to make sure no sauce and couble and triple checked and then they sent with sauce. i could not eat. If they do not provide refund I will take this up with credit card company. The delivery person from uber eats was nice.

Sushi Goda…read moreis absolutely breathtaking, with a theme park-like entry with LED lights and a giant screen that depicts aquarium scenes - sharks, dolphins, divers. At first glance, it almost looks like a real tank. The menu was extensive, albeit pricey. We made the mistake of not sitting at the bar for the Happy Hour specials, but it was kind of crowded. Instead we got seated. We shared calamari and a California roll, and my husband had tuna sashimi. I had a miso soup and the Wagyu fried rice. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could for the ambiance and wow factor. But what was disappointing was the Wagyu fried rice had almost microscopic bits of beef. I guess I should have expected that for only $16. Calamari was excellent. So was the soup. California rolls were okay. In total our bill was $164 which seemed like a lot considering we didn't even leave stuffed - just comfortable. I get that we were paying for the location and scenery - if we ever go back we will sit at the bar and do the happy hour deals. In all - upscale, cozy and high quality. I'm sure it attracts a lot of locals. But I'd rather go to one of the many great sushi places in Hell's Kitchen for more food, less money.
