Small restaurant with big flavors. Some fish flown in directly from Japan. Everything tastes super fresh. Would come back again!

Definitely my new go to sushi and dumpling spot! I've been coming to Dai Sushi consistently now for a while now and as a Westchester native this is my best recommendation. Small little place for sure but it does also have an upstairs area. Small bathrooms, could be cleaner. Because of it being small on the weekends my tip is always a reservation especially in the summer time, this place gets super hectic!!! Food: The sushi here is incredible. You can absolutely taste flavor and texture in every bite and they have curated some great sushi combinations as well! read more

I've ordered pick up from here a couple of times and thought the sushi was just okay. I keep wanting to like the spicy tuna on crispy rice but each time I get it, it tastes a bit fishy. The special rolls are good, but it's disappointing that the spicy tuna isn't good. read more

Dai Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pleasantville, New York

Pretty good sushi and welcoming service behind an unassuming storefront. My parents and I shared a bunch of dishes - our favorites were the chirashi maki (I loved the delicate knifework with the thin radish wrapper) and the agedashi tofu (nicely crispy without being too oily - it wasn't the usual deep golden brown that I normally associate with the dish). The tonkotsu ramen was all right - the noodles were obviously pre-packaged and flash boiled, and the broth overly salted. I've long ignored the ramen section of any Japanese restaurant that also serves a whole menu page of signature sushi rolls but my mom wanted noodles. My dad's oyako don was also just okay - chicken was too tough, without any flavor, but the rice was nicely seasoned with the sauce. The mushroom salad was a tad heavy-handed on the sodium as well. There was no stop to the customers rolling through on a Saturday right at opening, with plenty of regulars and take-out orders. Our waitress was super friendly and knew a lot of the customers stopping by. A bunch of street parking options out front. And a very clean bathroom! read more

Came here for some takeout on my birthday on recommendation from someone. I only got a glance inside but the ambiance looked quaint and nice. While none of the rolls come "inside out" by default like most Japanese establishments (why must you charge extra for this??), and they mistook part of my order, most of the food was good! Let's dive in... Oyako Donburi (3/5): This Donburi was fairly simplistic with a good sauce. I often find this dish has ample veggies and sauce which this was lacking a bit. The chicken was also plainly cooked. The rice was incredibly fluffy however. Lunch Special -- 3 Sushi Rolls and Salad (5/5): I really enjoyed this lunch special which included a soup or salad and three rolls for a pinch over $20. I was blown away by the salad which included a toothsome oniony dressing, instead of the typical carrot ginger dressing. I found the Umo Shiso Fluke to have such a unique flavor -- salty and almost floral notes. I had never tried it before anywhere but would get it again. I had ordered a spicy salmon but got spicy tuna. It wasn't prohibitive as the fish was a massive piece with a splash of spicy sauce; this roll often is small chunked fish with sauce and tempura flakes but this was a different take on it; very fresh but wanted more sauce. The shrimp tempura was the star of this set with a beautiful crunchy tempura shrimp, fish eggs, and avocado. I'd come back just for that roll. Miso Soup (4/5): Very average but still flavorful miso soup with seaweed chunks. Service (5/5): Food was ready a few minutes after the estimated time but the gentleman at the front assured me the food was just being boxed up when I arrived. I was explaining to him how excited I was to try this place as a birthday treat. Yum! The front hostess gave me a handful of candies on my way out which was very kind! TL;DR: This places seems to do things a bit different than other local establishments. Tasty fish and would return for the rolls. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant! The food is delicious as well as the service. Highly recommend!

Dai Sushi was not a good experience for me and my friend. We were there Friday evening, not reservation, but they tell us to wait outside for 50 minutes and they will text us when the time would come, not text, after that they tell us to wait 25 more minutes. Never texted us, and the young man kept telling us to wait more, after waiting for more than two hours. We decided to go to another shushi place in town (Miyabi) and was very delicious and nice experience. read more

Small, no frills, Japanese restaurant that is tucked away in a small house on a side street of Pleasantville Have a very solid menu with a bunch of different Japanese options, including a wide variety of unique sushi rolls I got edamame and a tonkatsu ramen, both of which were delicious read more

Excellent quality sushi and sashimi. I met work colleagues for dinner this week and Dai Sushi was highly recommended by one that lives nearby. I can understand why. I decided to try the chirashi sushi with a few a la carte pieces: salmon, yellowtail, ikura and uni. It's really hard to find uni where I live currently, so I was excited to see it on the menu. Uni is also a really good test of how fresh the sushi really is...because it's quite nasty when it's not. This piece was uni perfection. They accidentally brought a piece of tuna sushi, so I got to try that as well. Everything was extremely fresh and super high quality. I was still hungry and ordered a salmon avocado roll - also fantastic. My colleagues had specialty rolls, sushi/sashimi combination, California roll and some adult beverages (sake and wine). I had some hot green tea - also great. It's not a big space and a little tight - with tables quite close to each other. Street parking was available when I arrived; not sure if there is a lot nearby. Service was fast and accommodating. I would definitely visit again. read more

My last visit to Dai Sushi was over half a decade ago, and I decided to return as I was in the mood for some sushi. -AMBIANCE- We came here on a Friday evening for dinner. They were quite busy with a bunch of takeout orders and only had to wait a short bit for a table where we were seated immediately upstairs. The space is very cozy and quaint, other than this one fly that we had to keep swatting away.. -SERVICE- The service improved relative to my last visit there. It seems like there's a dedicated waiter upstairs which made for a much better experience. -FOOD- The food is still great and I would highly recommend the sushi! I ordered their Maki Combination which came with spicy tuna, salmon avocado and shrimp tempura. Sushi was very fresh and it also comes with a warm, comforting miso soup. I also got to try their Chicken Kushiyaki which is a skewer that comes in a choice of either teriyaki or spicy BBQ sauce. The chicken was very tender and it was very good overall, despite the sauce being a bit saltier than I'd like. Overall, still a pleasant experience in Pleasantville! read more

The best sushi in Westchester. If you go, get the spicy tuna crispy rice, the Toro hand roll, and their scallop is delicious. Great quality all around. read more

4.5/5 Service (for the guy who was mainly serving us) 0/5 for that one lady who didn't fix the half-missing cake Miso soup: not bad, bit salty. Liked the larger chunks of soft tofu Husband got Sashimi Deluxe I got the Sushi/Sashimi Combo - glad the rice ratio is not too heavy. Would have liked to know what each fish was, though. Also wish there was more spice or crunch in the spicy tuna rolls. Skewers: slightly sour sweet and mildly spicy. Will try the teriyaki version next time. Chicken Udon for the kids Eel Avocado Roll - not bad, standard, sauce not too sweet or salty (could've had more) Pistachio-Ricotta Cake: would've been a 5/5 if not for HALF MY CAKE MISSING (which I mentioned to the lady as she was serving it). The pistachio portion doesn't stick very well/easily falls apart so I get HOW a piece fell off or something but at least QC before serving... very saddening end to the otherwise decent meal. read more

So happy I made a reservation for my friend and I! Heard a lot about this place so needed to check it out. We were seated immediately upstairs; a bit tight but good none the less! We decided to order some appetizers and sushi to split rather than entrees. The Shaggy and Pleasantville rolls were delicious, but my favorite had to be the crispy rice! I had been looking for somewhere in Westchester that had it on the menu and this one hit the spot. Will be back! read more

Service here is excellent and incredibly swift. My record for getting in and out is about 20 minutes I think. My go-to menu items are the sushi rolls (of course, you can't go wrong with any of them), and I especially love the rock shrimp tempura bites. One of the best sushi places in Westchester! read more

The best, freshest sushi in all of Westchester! We love this place, but be prepared to wait for a table or for takeout. All of the sushi is fantastic, either basic rolls or try something adventurous like the shaggy dog. The chicken udon and vegetable tempura also great. read more

Excellent as always! Quality sushi without breaking the bank. I'm just sad that now the secret is out. Everyone in the area just heads to Chef Alex and sometimes I couldn't even get a table even on weekdays. I live further south in Westchester but we drive up just to get my favorites. Highly recommended is the counter table omakase (if chef Alex isn't busy) or deluxe sashimi (if he is busy). I love the Kumamoto oysters, soft shell crab on beet salad, clam soup, a creative roll called Dragon Roll and just about any roll with toro. read more

Freshest and most authentic sushi in Westchester! Excellent service. Make a reservation on the weekend to dine in. Very busy takeout, too!

I ordered take out - beef kushiyaki and some sushi! They have such an extensive menu!!! The kushiyaki was so delicious, and the sushi was SO FRESH and they gave BIG fish portions! Yes it's pricey af compared to sushi restaurants near me, but if I'm ever near the area I will come here again to try everything else on their menu!! read more

Hands-down, the best sushi I've eaten in Northern Westchester. Fresh, beautifully presented, it just checks all the boxes.

Best quality sushi in the area. We regularly get take out and you can't go wrong with their salmon or tuna roles. The wasabi is fresh too!

Great food but make reservation or go early as it gets crowded . A great Friday night dinner!!

Dai Sushi went down hill! This is the THIRD TIME I ordered take out and they forgot something. This time they forgot three rolls. We had to drive back to get the food since they wouldn't deliver the forgotten rolls. No chopsticks or soy sauce. No apology either. It's frustrating because no one at my dinner was able to eat at the same time together. Their food is good though. Just maybe don't order take out. read more

Fabulous. Never disappointed. Worth the money. Expensive yes !!!! But what wonderful sushi read more

Their service isn't the best and it's in a tight spot. No parking, limited seating. Every table is squeezed into another. Their food however is worth it, The spicy tuna roll was very good, and fish tastes great. I would recommend this spot based on the quality of sushi alone. read more

This is for takeout service. Food quality is good, but service is mediocre. Person at front station is not helpful. She claims she's checking to see how long your order is gonna be but when she comes back she doesn't acknowledge you or give you a timeline. An order placed after me was ready and when I asked why mine wasn't ready yet or how long it was gonna be, she said she didn't know. Even though had provided timeframes to food app delivery persons. A little customer service would go along way. I'm not going back. read more

This place is a amazing hidden gem. Great service great sushi great prices. Small place but great lunch menu and dinner menu as well.

Pretty good sushi, especially in an area where good sushi is not too easy to find! Particularly liked some of the maki rolls!

I live in NYC, but I am occasionally in the Westchester area. For this price range, you cannot get anything even CLOSE to as good in the city. You can pay twice as much, and you still won't get anything as good. So yeah, I am grateful for this restaurant. The fish here is so fresh and delicious. The portions are very generous. Even the miso soups and apps are great. I LOVE LOVE LOVE DAI SUSHI. read more

Really solid Japanese food, some of the best in Westchester, and one of the few to actually offer straight-up Japanese (and not try to serve Chinese, Korean and everything Asian under the sun). Every dish is fresh, so quickly made, creative, and delicious. I'm not like oh my gosh I must come back here, but I definitely will be coming back again for their unique salmon crispy rice and a variety of their sashimi, and try some of their special rolls. read more

Best sushi in Pleasantville. Cozy and intimate setting. Always consistent quality and service. All of the a la carte sushi and sashimi classics are always good. Among the classics, I always appreciate the rich fatty toro, the firm Spanish mackerel, the light sweetness of the yellowtail. Among the specialty rolls, I recommend the Lobster Roll (lobster tempura, avocado, masago, wrapped with soybean paper, topped with truffle aioli), the Chirashi Maki (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, kani, white fish, avocado, masago and tamago), and the Volcano Roll (shrimp tempura inside, spicy tuna and crunch on the top). My only complaint is there isn't enough seating capacity! I reluctantly write this review at the risk that each week Dai Sushi's 10 tables and 4 bar seats get a little more competitive. read more

I was hoping we would like this place but the sushi was oversized and the rice to fish ratio was off. The fish was also not sliced the way it should be for sushi - big thick chunks that were chewy. The fish is fresh, but it doesn't feel Japanese. There is no delicacy in the sushi. read more
