Really amazing sushi, as it should be for the price. We went as a group of 4, had cocktails, a bottle or two of wine and a ton of sushi. Was about $750 with tip... read more

The food here is good...high quality ingredients, wonderful flavor, nice presentation...but I do not think the food justifies the prices that are charged here, and I find the menu to be all over the place and little bit too large. The service was excellent, and based on the recommendations from our waitress, we ordered the big eye tuna tarts (yum!), the soba nomi risotto (too rich for my taste - my mom could not even swallow it down, jalapeno scallop roll (pretty spicy and good), tuna crispy rice (they do it best here), and the sashimi sextet (just okay and definitely not worth $28 for 6 pieces - insanity). When we got the bill, our eyes popped out considering what we had. Don't think we spent this much at Yasuda or Soto, and we left those places more satisfied and feeling like we had fresher fish and an all-around better meal. Hate comparing, but it is what it is. On the bright side, the male model hosts are HOT and sweet, which neither Yasuda or Soto can say... read more

Bond Street hands down is the best sushi place in NYC (nobu is a close 2nd). I come here every couple of months and the food is consistent. The lounge downstairs is a great first date spot as its trendy, ambient, and offers the capability of inching closer. The service is average and the servers seem entitled however I'm usually too engaged with the person I'm with to notice too much. They always make sure my drink is full and the sushi ample so I'm happy. This isn't the sort of place you come for the service anyway. The service is the fast and they don't rush you out. GREAT for late night. read more

This place is so addictive! From their shrimp tempura to its spicy tuna! Mouth watering!

One of my favorite sushi restaus in the new york. But don't limit yourself to the sushi, the rest of the menu is equally delicious. The spicy tuna tarts, the tuna tartare pizza, the sesame shrimp rolls, yum yum yum.... The cocktails are great too! read more

Great service and atmosphere. Must try the tuna crispy rice.

My favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC! I've gone multiple times and am continuously impressed. You MUST try the big eye tuna tarts...I always order atleast three of these! read more

Had dinner here the other night. Absolutely amazing. All round awesome. My favorite is the salmon. Best in the city!

Their food is far from authentic Japanese quality. We ordered the omakase course. It was $120 or $150 pp. They probably pre-make appetizers, they were dried out. Their raw fish seemed pretty fresh, but I don't know what kind of rice they use and how they prepare it, it just doesn't complement "neta" the fish or other materials on top. They make some unique sushi, e.g. caviar on top of sea urchin over sweet shrimp, but they don't seem to go well together. They serve soba noodle after sushi. I just don't think whoever prepares the soup stock knows what he/she is doing. Cheap fast food soba chains in Japan serve better noodles. The best part unfortunately or fortunately was the desert. I was just very disappointed with the quality of one of the most popular sushi restaurants in NYC. It's a shame. read more

Bond Street Sushi is great. The fish is very fresh, the service excellent, and they also have a very cool bar scene.......Bottom line, the food is GREAT...... Over the years I seem to make my to Bond Street 3 or 4 times a years, and I over a pretty long time span, I have always found their great food and service to be very consistent. I think that says a lot about a business when every time you go there over a long period of time, that it is always good and consistent. read more

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! Please, I promise you. Try out any other sushi place in the city, you'll thank me for it. I literally have never written a restaurant review, but the ambiance, service and especially the food were so sub-par, I felt compelled to do so today. This sub-par rating holds true in comparison to ANY restaurant in the city. And when you add an obscene price tag to the overrated food, it just accentuates the problem. With that said, if somehow you get forced/tricked into going to BondSt, the one saving grace was the Spicy Crispy Shrimp, which was excellent. However, we ordered 7 dishes altogether, and that was the only one worth paying for. For the $250 I dropped, I would have literally rather gone to any other place in New York. read more

Love this place! Some of the best sushi I have ever tasted. Go with an open mind, so you are willing to try new things. Drinks are good too. Cool atmosphere, staff is uber friendly to boot. highly recommend. read more

Very nice secluded place with great food and good service. Great for a quiet date. All sushi that we have tried were tasty and freshly made. Its a gem, would never think its there because of construction going on right next to it. read more

The sushi -amazing -the shrimp crispy ,sundries tomato & avocado but the service was terrible . The waiter was in the bar and ask us 4 times what we want to order, every time we told him and he forget it's took 1 hour until we got the disses !!! read more

BondST - Bond st - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

This is a MUST when in the Big Apple. Great atmosphere, friendly, knowledgable staff, great cocktails and the freshest tastiest food in NYC - what more could you want! I'm a foodie traveller and this is up there with the best. If Bond St. doesn't satisfy you - stay home! read more

The experience of dining in this fabulous gem commenced at the bar enjoying the most extraordinary ginger martini . Food, ambiance and service exceeded my expectations. Very very good choice. No doubt that this is truly fine dining! read more

Went to Bond Street last night, and the MISO SOUP was outstanding. Believe or not, I had two bowls! Do yourself a favor and get there for this soup... Run, do not walk! read more

Love BONDST! The service is always spot-on, knowledgable and attentive, the drinks fantastic, and the food melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The Tuna Tarts, Short Ribs, and Jalapeño Scallop Roll are fantastic. The waiters' recommendations are wonderful, so be sure to ask what they recommend. The sake list is extensive but our waiter was able to suggest a really good bottle that we all enjoyed. Overall, I'd say BONDST knows what it's doing read more

Awesome. Great whiskey selection. Need a reservation, but you can eat/drink in the lounge. Go for the Omikase.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan. In my humble opinion, the Asian Fusion menu is unparalleled and the ambience is perfect for a romantic date or a intimate gathering of friends. Top-notch service and extensive drink menu. You must order the Big Eye Tuna Tarts. I recommend this place to all my friends and can't wait for my next visit. read more

Had dinner there last night. Lovely greeting and rapid seating back in the sushi counter area. Guess they figured we didn't look like we needed the romantic front room. Got a lovely Cabernet that came in at the now common price of $19 for a glass. We got the big eye tuna on a crispy cracker - that did end up my favorite for the evening. It had some taste and interest. It was $24. Also had a mushroom/rice crock with bonito flakes and poached egg. Quite good and my friend was scraping the bottom for the crispy bits. $26. Also ordered a red snapper shashimi. It was a disappointment. Poorly cut with no flavor. Just a solid meh that was difficult to bite into. My friend had the chicken which she absolutely loved. I had the sake poached Black Sea bass. Another dish I considered a solid meh. With all the garden fixings on top it was still bland. And slightly over cooked. This was not a winner for me and will not be back. Oh, also, do not go if you actually want to talk to your table mates. The sound level is deafening. read more

it's dangerous for me to write a review about this place. i can't think about it too long before yelling out "soba nomi risotto!!!" it's been 4 years since i last ate there, so you might want to stop reading now, but i worked there for over a year, and ate the food nightly, and i remember it well... slurp, drool... this place got me hooked on jumbo sweet shrimp and sea urchin (sushi). both are like butter in your mouth. one a sweeter butter, the other a more custardy butter. damn. if you order quite smartly, you can save yourself some money. a few cold apps, a few hot apps, the chilean sea bass (good lord i would take a shower in that sauce), and just the right selection of sushi. voila! satisfying to the stomach and wallet. people say this that and the other about the sushi. my opinion? no, the portions aren't huge, grotesquely huge, or even grotesquely small. but when the taste is that rich and quality, you shouldn't need to eat a watermelon-sized piece. at a place like bond st, you want to order as many things as possible while keeping an eye out on price. that's the way to maximize your experience, in my opinion. and if you're gonna get rolls, only get a couple. i recommend between spicy tuna, the sesame shrimp, and the lobster tempura. people go nuts for those rolls. sit at the sushi bar. it's a bit raucous, but the most chill. certainly, most people don't go to bond st for the chill factor though, so you may want to score a banquette on the 1st floor of the restaurant, instead. but the lounge is kinda sexy too. essentially, there's a seating area suitable for every kind of person. if you're like a certain Jackson you might want to take the table shrouded in the corner and face the wall the whole meal. or if you're like a certain socialite you might want to take the table directly across from the elevator so you're the first thing everyone sees. what floats your japanese-fusion boat? look at all the nice things i've said about the place. you've got to believe me. yea, i was once an employee, but i also got fired! "soba nomi risotto!!!" read more

Bond St. is a swanky tri level Sushi place in that East of NYU Nohoish area. No reviews on Yelp yet under any spelling which is surpising since it has been there for years. We went for a late New Years dinner after heavy reccomendations and were not let down. It is a little dark but the decor is comfortable and elegant. The food ranged from simple japanese preparations to over the top fusion sushi with luxury ingredients. It would be easy to spend $100+ a person here or you could walk out for under $40 for the same amount of food. The grilled eggplant with miso was truly delicious @ $8 and so was the Toro with Foie gras @ $24. It just depends what you want to try and how spendy you are feeling. I also reccomend the hot eel dice with almonds roll and the spicy hamachi. Other friends of mine had various shrimp appetizers and rolls, something with lobster and misc. sashimi. The food is really good across the board and in some cases inventive. I reccomend Bond st but just be careful with your ordering to keep the bill in check. read more

I have been here seven or eight times. The sushi and atmosphere are very good but it is expensive for what it is. I went tonight for Father's Day with my wife and two grown children. We were shown to a table for four against the wall. I asked for another table set for four in the middle of the room. The hostess muttered something about having other reservations but offered to ask the manager. After about five minutes the manager came over and said they were holding that table for another party. We sat down and enjoyed our meal and racked up a $500 bill for the four of us, like we often do. The larger table for four was never used and there were many other open tables when we left after 9:00 on a Sunday. I was annoyed and insulted. This is not a way to build a following of repeat customers. read more

This place is truly next level. Upon entry you're confused about if you're walking into an apartment building or??? Anyway, the restaurant itself I think is three levels so it's pretty large. That said, on a Tuesday it was jam-packed. I was with a group of 13 people so of course ordering was a bit of a mess. The waitress was a little snarky but I suppose I would be too in that situation. Most of the meal was composed of sharing a ton of apps then for main courses some people shared sushi rolls and others got entrees. Here goes on the notable food...the big eye tuna tarts are as good as everyone says they are. They are light, salty and the chipotle mayo really seals the deal. The red snapper tacos are also outrageously good. Word to the wise - drench it in whatever sauce comes on the side. SO GOOD. The spicy crispy shrimp I think was my favorite app. It's exactly what it sounds like, and I'm a sucker for anything crispy and spicy. Onto the short ribs...wow wow wow. They pull apart so easily and the taste....yeesh. So good. We got a few other apps but those were my favorite. Note - the app portions are small so keep that in mind if you have a big group. For my entree I got the salmon - think it was seasoned in miso. The star of that dish was obviously the salmon and the crispy rice. It also comes with veggies. Good times all around! read more

The service was incredibly condescending. The table 1 ft away from us complained we were too loud, and we were encouraged to move. The patrons were rude and the staff didn't know what to do. The food was mediocre and the service was unsure. Would not recommend. read more

Overall, I thought it was just OK. It's a very classy, upscale place. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny. I'm not the biggest fan of sushi. I only went because a friend of mine recommended the place and my girlfriend loves sushi. Even she wasn't all that impressed with it. The venue is very small so be prepared to sit verrrrry close to others. Close enough to hear their conversations. Not very intimate at all. I don't see myself going back. read more

the food was delicious but the service was so slow and the lounge restaurant was so hot i had to ask them to turn on the air conditioning. for the prices and the supposed ambience they are going for, send over the waitress and the bill within 3 minutes of me asking for it. please. read more

The restaurant has a great ambiance and above average service. However, I rate the restaurant with most of the weight falling on the food. That is where BondSt does not shine. We ordered rolls, and had drinks. The rolls were nothing out-of-this-world....they were simply like every other roll we'd ordered at every Japanese restaurant we'd frequented before. Ditto for the drinks. The price for the average food is, in my humble opinion, a major downside to this place. If you just want sushi, go elsewhere. As far as the other entrees are concerned, we did not order them so we cannot speak to that. read more

Great selection of dishes, sushi was excellent. Ambience was friendly and warm but quiet setting upstairs to enjoy a date night.

so i went here on a random night with a friend and boy were my taste buds pleased. the drinks were delicious, the food was so savory--i had the kobe beef, YUM YUM YUM is all i can say, the presentation was beautiful and we got several complimentary appetizers that were also delicious, the service was great, and the vibe is awesome. we sat in the back upstairs bar, where they make the sushi in front of you, those chefs like to have a good time, no doubt. all-in-all this place is fantastic, i will definitely be back. read more

So delicious. Expensive but worth it! We got the tuna crispy rice and wagyu mini burgers. We also got some pork belly dish that was sooo tasty and juicy. Good drinks. We ate in the lounge area, which had good vibes and dimmed lights. Great for a date or small groups. We shared all dishes. read more

I went here for my last night in NYC with my cousins and friends before I moved to LA. In my opinion, they have the best sushi in all of NYC. We had so many dishes...lobster, artichoke and fuji apple salad, tempura, seared tuna, kobe beef...all soooo amazing. The drinks were also some of the best...I especially loved the Litchee martini and Litchee shots! Great scene with a lot of hip and beautiful people. read more

The food was fine. You could for sure find better sushi for the same price somewhere else, but that wasn't even my main issue with this place. The service was crazy bad...it was so obvious they were trying to rush us out. They grabbed a plate from us before we could say we were still working on it. Never asked if we wanted more wine or more food. There are plenty of good upscale sushi restaurants in manhattan, this one isn't worth it. read more

I have always loved this place, I think it has fantastic spicy tuna rolls, not to mention many other inventive rolls. And fantastic for people watching and a great scene in the lounge. I have come here with friends over the years or taken out of towners and clients - all of whom have really enjoyed it. read more

A beautiful Restaurant with a great atmosphere. I enjoyed the food, although... I'll be honest...my review of the food doesn't at all matter because I don't eat sushi or any fish for that matter. So, my review is for rice, drinks and ambiance. read more

So so yummy. You will love the food here (given that you like Japanese of course). It's what some call "designer sushi," since it is so damn pricey! But, if you have the money to spend, and want a wonderful dining experience...you really should check out Bond St. read more

Go downstairs to the lounge. I've always been able to get a table down there,even on Fri/Sat nights when the place seems perpetually full (still have a decent sushi and app menu in the lounge.) Downstairs at Bond St is a good place to start the night by filling up with a little sushi before filling up with a lot of alcohol. Service isnt great, but its never really hampered my experience all that much. Speciality drinks are STRONG and tasty. Bond Is also locationally unbeatable - its a short walk over to the NYU bars (WootWoot!) or to SoHo lounges to continue your evening... read more

The waitress was a nightmare!! We had a party of 11 and she could not handle it !! At one point she almost freaked out and got very loud . She should not be able to work in a place like this if she can not take a order!! at one point she gets all flustered and says ONE PERSON AT A TIME!! she says it as if we are in grade school!! My food was horrible I ordered the burgers that came cold and I said well done the meat was RAW!! I also ordered the crispy shrimp. That was fine. I am in the customer service feild and belive me professionalism was not there! Especially after the bill was 700!! I will never go to this place again!! EVER!! read more

BondSt is quite possibly my new favorite restaurant! I'm always hesitant to suggest new sushi spots to a sushi aficionado but BondSt did not disappoint one bit. We called for a same day reservation on a Friday and we were told we could only get seats at the sushi bar. We were hesitant to do it, but it definitely enhanced the experience! I typically don't have more than one drink, but the St Germain in Tokyo was so delicious I ended up ordering three! The tuna tarts and crispy rice with spicy tuna are both must orders and I woke up the next day wanting them again! Even the mushroom soup and green salad were more innovative and delicious variations than you'll find at your typical sushi spot. Next we ordered the sushi & sashimi omakase. It was a beautiful display of 4 pieces each of sushi and sashimi per person. It was very well priced at $48pp, especially considering it had a piece of Otoro. We were so full but it was so good that we just had to order a few more pieces of our favorites! I mentioned multiple times the next day how delicious that meal was and how I couldn't wait to go back. My boyfriend thought I was bluffing in wanting to go back for a second day in a row. He got on the phone and made us another reservation and we went back again. We didn't go as nuts as we had the first night and ordered slightly differently but we were just as impressed as the night before! I can't recommend BondSt enough...and I really can't wait to go back! read more
