    Deep fried (!!!) hamachi kama which tastes like fryer; look at the old lime and brown lettuce. Ugh.
    Heather W.

    Great service, but not great expensive tiny food portions and really really loud patrons. Mushy rice, old vegetables, fryer tasting food. 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.

    This is the sushi special $38 before tip. You get 10 pieces of nigiri (and miso soup), and while the fish is good quality and the rice was seasoned well, it just feels a little barebones. No roll included, no garnishes to dress it up, and the ponzu side I ordered was spilled all over the bag. It's fair value for the price and close to being very good, but overall it left me feeling kind of flat For more NYC sushi reviews, follow The Raw Report on TikTok.

    This place is fantastic. Great lunch deals for either dine in or delivery. There is a great rice to fish ratio and everything tastes great. Always able to get seated quickly. Service is good and you don't feel rushed.

    Lunch special-2 rolls.

    I ordered the two roll lunch special, choosing spicy tuna and spicy salmon, which came with a side salad. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The rice was well-seasoned and held together nicely. The side salad was simple but had my all time favorite carrot ginger. The portions were just right for lunch --not too heavy, but filling enough. I came at an off hour so the place was super quiet. The staff was attentive even though they were prepping for dinner at the same time.

    One of the best sushi options in UES, highly recommend if you need reliable sushi. There are so many options to order, I would recommend the ocean roll and anything rock shrimp could be biased as I love rock shrimp. Orders deliver quick and well in the packaging.

    Sushi Lunch Special:  Any 3 Rolls Lunch Special

    Came for the lunch special and ordered 3 sushi rolls, Eel with cucumber, salmon with avocado and fried sweet potato. All rolls were a delicious bite size. It also came with soup or salad and I chose the salad which was a big size but the dressing was amazing. I ate the whole bowl. The salmon and avocado roll was really good, the salmon was like melting in my mouth it was nicely fresh. The service was really good and attentive, i didn't wait long for my order so I was so satisfied with everything. I definitely will come back especially for lunch time! The restaurant is not as spacious the tables are close to each other but they have booths too. I don't mind the closeness but I also don't like hearing other people's conversations especially if they have kids with them.

    I love this place. My absolute favorite gem in the UES. Their weekday lunch specials are off the hook and their specialty rolls are some of my favorites when it comes to dinner or something little more fancy

    Met up with a friend for a quick dinner and opted for Amura as a convenient, sushi place nearby. I ordered the yellowtail don which comes with a soup or salad. I always love the salad dressings at Japanese restaurants so it was a solid salad. The yellowtail don included a scoop of sushi rice and about 10 slices of yellowtail don. Be aware that it might look a little like chicken sashimi (lol) but it tasted fine! My friend ordered the salmon don and I personally liked the taste of the salmon more. It's a decent amount of fish and I left feeling comfortable. They have tons of sushi roll options so definitely something for everyone! Service was efficient and we were in and out pretty quickly.

    A solid lunch special: miso soup OR salad and 3 sushi rolls for $14.50. I got salad, salmon avocado, shrimp tempura, and spicy tuna rolls. The salmon avocado was my favorite! The spicy tuna was my second favorite. Next time I wouldn't get the shrimp tempura roll, it wasn't my favorite. Service was good and they were busy for a Friday during lunch. There was only 1 waitress and she was working hard! There's a single stall bathroom in the back.

    Wow! I love it here! There are so many Sushi places in the neighborhood, and I finally came to this one- and boy, was I surprised as to how good it is! I was seated and given a menu, I order a cold beer and hot Saké, I perused the menu and order Edamame, some Nigiri Sushi, and 3 rolls. Everything was fresh, well-made, and had substantial portions! The service was attentive without being overbearing. It was a busy Thursday night, but not too loud. I will DEFINITELY be back here next time I am in the City!

    Sushi Dinner ($23). Includes 8 nigiri + tuna roll + choice of miso soup or salad

    Do they serve all you can eat sushi? If so, how much is it for dinner?

    No. Amura is portion controlled. Yuka nearby has all you can eat and it is around $30 now.

    Are they still open for delivery? 04/26/2020

    Yes!!

Was walking in the area with my mom and passed by on the way to a bakery, but good thing we turned back. One of the staff members opened the door for us. It's wheelchair accessible.

If we r just sitting and chatting they will come up and try to take our bowls away when there is still food left . wish they can be more mindful with that.

The yakitori here is very tasty. We loved the veggie skewers (okra and shishito peppers. The salmon belly is actually just salmon pieces and not the belly party. The enoki beef was little too salty. The squid, beef and scallops were very tasty. The veggies tempura were freshly fried and delicious. Could have been drained a little better. Salmon crispy rice was a hit but the star of the show was the sushi and sashimi deluxe and the blue Toro roll. Amazingly fresh. The passion toro was a little too sweet and fishy for us and had no passion fruit taste. Service here is amazing.

    I visited Dashi Okume when I spent the day in Greenpoint last weekend. Dashi Okume dates back to…read more1871 in Japan (it was originally established as a seafood wholesaler), but this shop in Greenpoint makes quality Japanese products, especially dashi, more accessible than ever. Dashi Okume sells ... you guessed it ... dashi. They sell several kinds, and you can taste all of them there in the shop before deciding which to take home with you (I tried them all and went home with one bag of vegetable dashi and one bag of sweet shellfish dashi). They also make custom-made dashi. You can choose from around 30 ingredients - dried fish, seaweed, mushrooms, and vegetables. They grind it up and put into individual bags for you. Such a fun idea, but I thought I should try some of their pre-made dashi options before creating mine own. They also sell miso, rice, noodles, rice seasoning, seaweed, tea, and other items. I picked up some Japanese mustard, seaweed, and rice seasoning to take home with my dashi. Beyond being a great shop, they also have a cafe area where they offer a teishoku set meal - you pick your fish, which comes with tea, rice, miso soup, pickles, and sides. They also offer an omakase popup. The shop is beautiful, and the service was very friendly and helpful. I'll certainly return for more shopping but next time I plan to make a meal of it and try their teishoku set.

    Stopped in at Dashi Okume on a random Saturday afternoon and sat down with a spread of white rice,…read morebluefish, miso soup, squash, and mushroom. Simple and satisfying on the food front, for the 2 of us, the cost was about $110. So not a cheap meal, but good food. The vibe though was a little different from what I was expecting. I went in thinking restaurant and what I got was more of a market atmosphere. While you are eating, people are walking around shopping and browsing, and there are products displayed and sold throughout the space. Not exactly my ideal setting for a sit down meal, but it works well enough for a casual weekend afternoon stop. One of the highlights beyond the food were the soup broths and dried flake samples they had available to try at Dashi Okume. We worked our way through most of them and they were genuinely delicious. My wife liked them enough to buy one to use as a miso soup base at home, which says a lot. They also carry items for cats, which was a fun little surprise. As for the place itself, Dashi Okume is located on Norman Avenue and operates as a collective, meaning it is not one single business but rather a shared space where multiple different vendors and businesses come together under one roof. That explains the market within a restaurant feeling. Overall Dashi Okume is a worthwhile stop, especially if you enjoy exploring and sampling along the way. Just go in knowing it is more of a hybrid experience than a traditional sit down meal.
