This is a sushi chain that has slowly but surely expanded in Manhattan over the years. This particular location has a sit down restaurant portion as well as a take out counter next door. I ordered several rolls for take out: spicy blue crab, salmon jalapeno, shrimp avocado, and yellowtail scallion. They have a build your own box option for $23 which was what I ordered, and the salmon avocado was $10.25. The packaging and overall presentation is quite cute, reminds me of all the other cute bougie fast casual sushi chain to-go boxes (e.g. sugarfish, kazunori). The crab and shrimp rolls were quite good and fresh. The salmon jalapeño roll was what caught me off guard. I assumed it would be fresh jalapeño but they used the pickled/jarred kind (the ones you'd find on top of nachos). The flavor wasn't horrible but I think I'd skip this one next time. Another pet peeve I have with sashimi/sushi is when they don't cut across the grain, and you sometimes end up spitting out (sorry I know, gross) the entire bite of fish because there's a long string of fiber. This was the case with the yellowtail roll. Overall I still would recc this place as your next sushi take out option! read more

Bondi - Consider a... - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This place is close to office so I went there twice. They have 3 lunch special choices and I did the $34 one which I think is a very good deal. I can choose either one appetizer or a sashimi and two nigiri plus two hand rolls. Food is fresh and delicious. Service was great too. read more

Some of the most fresh sushi I've had in New York and everyone who works here is amazing! We feel like family and come every single week. It's truly a premier experience, amazing ambience, great music and very clean. Thank you so much! read more

I had no idea sushi here would be so different and delicious ! During COVID we decided that we wanted to come here to pick up a box. For the pictures of course! The box it comes with is super cute We ordered spicy tuna, crab roll, truffle avocado, and the mushroom trifecta. I had no idea now good avocado and truffle can be together ! It's so simple but so good ! I seriously crave this combination sometimes. Their non fish rolls are super delicious and something different to try. Everything we order was wonderful! read more

The staff is attentive, the fish is fresh, I've never had a bad dish here, and their happy hours are unbeatable for hand rolls. One of my favorite hand roll bars in the city! read more

Look, listen, I love sushi. We came by for my birthday so I was plenty excited because it's been a long while since I've had a decent piece of sushi since covid. We had two omakase and four hand rolls. The rolls were good, salmon ikura is the favorite and the truffle avocado being my new found taste combo favorite. However, the reason why I'm not giving this place a better rating is because I was chewing a piece of fish that had some fiber I could not bite. I spat it out to find a bit of paper towel. Yes, there was tissue in my omakase. The sushi chef saw me struggle and once I informed him of the non-fish content, he said, "Sorry, I couldn't see." We didn't get a chance to tell the waiter because they weren't around despite it being a slow afternoon but I also didn't want to put up a fight on my birthday so we paid the bill and left shortly after I got that surprise in my nigiri. read more

The Sushi Chefs here are really good, and this is a good value for your $$. The fish is super fresh and well prepared, All the nigiri I ordered had that "melt in your mouth" sensation. (Good fish, cut and prepared well I will make this a normal spot on my Sushi favorites list...definite winner! read more

Get the tuna crispy rice!!!! It was so good. Good size rolls and cute packaging for takeout. Yellowtail jalapeño could've been spicier but overall pretty solid for takeout. read more

It's pretty expensive for pretty small portions, but what we did order tasted good, so there's that at least. Seating is limited around the bar with parties squeezed up next to each other. I got a cocktail, two hand rolls, and split crispy rice with my friend, which ended up at around $45-50 that'll leave you nowhere near full. The hand rolls in particular surprised me with how small they were. The scallop and toro hand rolls were pretty good. read more

Extremely good sushi in Nolita. Shocked by the reviews. Had amazing lobster hand rolls and unagi, some of the best food of our visit from LA. Super fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We went mid-day on a Saturday so it wasn't too busy, which may have influenced our visit. Will absolutely be back on our next trip. read more

Made a reservation online for International Sushi Day and our seats were ready when we got there. We sat at the bar so we could watch the hand rolls being made. I got the toro, yellow tail, crab, and unagi. They were all pretty good but the unagi had some bones in it. The service of getting the actual hand rolls was pretty fast considering there were only two people making them but getting a servers attention to pay was a bit time consuming since they were all in a corner talking to each other. read more

Went for Sushi Sunday and it was perfect for a quick bite! The specials are great and the quality is surprisingly good. Our favorite was the scallop and crab hand rolls. Drinks were strong ;) read more

The food here doesn't match the prices, and the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. Sundays are the worst, with loud music that disrupts the entire neighborhood--you can feel the bass from several blocks away. I urge locals to call 311, as the noise levels exceed what's permissible. Dining here is impossible with that racket. I won't be coming back and will be recommending Momoya SoHo just a few blocks north instead. Momoya respects the neighborhood, does not blast terrible music on Sundays when people are trying to relax, and the food is fantastic. I do not recommend Bondi Nolita. read more

High quality fish! Tried the ebi botan (shrimp) and they were sweet and fresh. Also tried the o toro, blue crab, and two rounds of the 5 hand roll combo. Everything was delicious, especially the o toro! Biggest letdown was the wagyu hand roll. It's the most expensive on the menu so we had high hopes for this but found that we couldn't really taste the wagyu under all the sweet sauce they added (reminded me of eel sauce). Would come here often if price were not a consideration, especially for the ebi botan, blue crab roll, and toro. Kazu nori seems to carry similar hand rolls (but I don't think I've had blue crab there) for a more affordable experience if you're a student like me :) read more

They have an amazing lunch special! Everything was so good. I opted for the special with 4 nigiris, 2 handrolls, and 1 appetizer. I cannot recommend the wagyu handrolls enough! So delicious and my overall experience at the restuarant was awesome. The service was fast and it was great to be able to watch our plates being made by the chef. 10/10 recommend! read more

Amazing sushi lunch set deal! We got the set with 6 nigiri, appetizer, and 2 handrolls. You get to mix and match 3 different types of nigiri, so I chose the seared wagyu, seared otoro, and toro caviar! For my appetizer, I got the yellowtail jalapeno but tried my friend's scallop. For my handrolls, I got the spicy crab and the lobster yuzu. Honestly, for the value set, I was super satisfied with the meal and the yummy food! Everything tasted great and the ambiance was great! The manager was very nice and welcoming so great service. All around great value set dining experience - come for lunch! read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and ordered the $38 lunch special - it comes with 1 appetizer or sashimi (6 pieces), 6 nigiri pieces, and 2 hand rolls. We also ordered lobster yuzu and spicy tuna crispy rice. Delicious food, great service, and amazing prices for high quality sushi - the lunch special was a great deal and came with a good amount of food. read more

Heard from someone that they was the best deal for lunch in NYC. It is, the $32 lunch special comes with an appetizer, 6 pieces of nigiri, and 2 hand rolls. However, there is a reason for this. The quality of the fish is terrible. You get what you pay for, if you actually like sushi, don't come here. read more

Trying to find a good sushi place near Chinatown is kinda impossible. Came here because it was in between the office and the hotel. Sushi and service were ok... but it was way too expensive. read more

Perfect as always. Such a staple for the area and a hidden gem! Lunch special is crazy good. Love coming here for fresh tasty sushi! read more

The sushi tasted good but my main disappointment is their sushi slices are super thin and small. For the price point it was a disappointment considering other sushi restaurants at the same price are more generous with the amount of fish they give. The photo attached was a miso tuna crisp which I thought was fantastic though. The nigiri was mainly where they were lacking in portion. read more

Rat droppings in my delivery order. Really gross, I would never eat at this place or get delivery from them again

the "commit theft today" sign outside is spot on!! the $20 option lunch special came with edamame, choice of appetizer, 4 nigiri, and a handroll. such a steal! My favorite was the wagyu nigiri--cooked so well and didn't fall apart. the staff was so kind and service was great. Highly recommend!! read more

Will preface by saying that I love the NoMad location, always great. This was awful - both the yellowtail and spicy tuna crispy rice dishes were piping hot, fish fully cooked / hard to the touch. Tuna roll was barely pink and fishy smelling. Would not recommend this location, however, it is really good at the NoMad location off of 28th read more

I don't write reviews often but Bondi was a special exception! I was in NYC for the week and looking to eat high-quality sushi before heading off into a work meeting when I stumbled into the restaurant. The atmosphere was excellent and the staff was super friendly when I was figuring out what to get - I checked out their handroll lunch special and it was so good! The head chef, Leo, made each dish in front of me and explained the elements which helped me appreciate the sushi more. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing - Michael the manager was also incredibly friendly and accommodating during my visit. The lunch was affordable and perfectly satisfying - I would eat there everyday if I still lived in NY! Highly recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I ordered the Classic Catch combo, which isn't a bad deal at $20 for beautiful presentation and speedy delivery. But I really only enjoyed about 50% of the sushi. The yellowtail was great - fresh and firm, and the cucumber was delightfully crunchy (the subtle flavors of the seasoned rice and sesame came through well). But the salmon was fishy (I ate two of the four pieces and gave the rest to my dog, who happily chomped down the smelly treat) and the spicy tuna was super mushy and lacked flavor. It was fast but I will probably go back to my regular local spot next time. read more

Love love love this place. I have never been disappointed by their sushi. I don't care for some of the flavors such as truffle Or mushroom but everything else is great. I highly recommend the blue crab and the salmon. Portions are great for one person and price is decent considering the quality and area. read more

Favorite sushi restaurant around. This place is always consistent with their quality and provide a great dinner night out. The staff is so friendly and engaging as well. They remembered my fiancées food allergies even after a couple months in between visits. We literally come here at least 3x a month since then. It's a literal crime that this place isn't rated higher. read more

Bondi - Assortment of nigiri. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this location. I eat at another Bondi location almost on a weekly basis and have always had great experiences. However, when I placed my to-go order here for a salmon avocado + avocado cucumber build-your-own box with scallions added, the staff did not know how to go about making it, and shouted among themselves in the kitchen for almost 10 minutes trying to figure it out. The order itself was poorly rolled and falling apart, the avocado was black and extremely soft, and the cucumbers were completely missing. I called the restaurant back to let them know, and the staff seemed unconcerned and not at all apologetic. They offered me a "free mochi" next time I came in, but made no effort to compensate me in any other way. For $28.85, I expect much better quality sushi. read more

They don't have their liquor license yet but they let us run to the liquor store around the corner and BYOB. Will definitely be coming back! read more

The smallest nigiri I've ever seen. They take a single piece worth of fish and cut it in half. Suddenly it's "two pieces per order." And if that's not crazy enough, they even skimp on the rice so the nigiri doesn't look as small! Incredible... read more

The head chef makes the food very well, however, small portions leave much to be desired. Their "Hand roll special" can only be ordered at the beginning of your order, meaning, If you order the 5 rolls they claim the special is, but in succession instead of all at once, you'll get the full charge and the staff says it's the owners system that wont allow them to change it. Truthfully, after the staff shared that this has been a complaint by many people, it's on the owners to make the change. read more

This is a great sushi spot located conveniently in the heart of nolita. The interior is cozy with a sushi bar a few regular dining tables. They weren't too crowded (it was a sunday) so we were able to walk in without a wait. They specialize in fast-casual maki rolls, but this location also serves a 12 piece omakase experience that is relatively affordable. Each piece of fish/seafood was very fresh and delicious - a few of my favorites were the scallop, fatty tuna, and crab pieces. It's a pretty quick experience, but I didn't feel rushed by any means. We decided in the end to also try two of their hand rolls which were also delicious. Overall, this was a very nice dinner and I would definitely recommend for a more casual omakase experience. read more
