    4 & 1/2....This mini chainlet, begat from a stall inside the Downtown Brooklyn Dekalb Market food hall, was an early entree into the burgeoning genre of upmarket, take out focused, fast casual handrail focused sushi places that have sprouted increasingly rapidly, especially in the business districts of Manhattan. I would venture to say that they are in my estimation the best of the lot, and this small yet pleasant counter centered branch on a sleepy Gowanus block has been stuck solidly in my lunch rotation for a solid 5 years plus now. I usually opt for the cut roll options over the hand rolls, save for an occasional uni or ikura hand roll when I am wiling to treat myself. The quality of both fish and rice is of remarkably consistently excellent quality, evincing exceptional skill and care on behalf of the staff. I usually opt for enjoying the good stuff in the narrow room and the small bar, as opposed to grabbing and taking it out in the smartly designed custom little cardboard branded takeout box, a hallmark of the genre. With sushi this good I feel it's best to eat as soon as possible but on the rare occasion I have taken it to go it's held up pretty well. Considering the high quality of the sushi the lunch specials rate a a squarely good value. Pro-tip: splurge on the upcharge and get a roll of the house specialty snow-crab avocado roll, a heavenly elevated version of a California roll with lusciously Alaskan sweet crab in place of the fake junk.

    Little hole in the wall in Brooklyn! Absolutely love their sushi rolls and service. My husband and I have been here a few times and we absolutely love their rolls. Our favorites are the scallop, spicy scallop, regular scallop,botan ebi shrimp (it has shisho leaf and plum sauce, perfect for summer but definitely not for everyone), spicy salmon, yellowtail and the special diago bowl. All the staff are really friendly and welcoming. They also split the rolls for you if they know you're sharing them, which my husband and I appreciated. It's been our go to spot if we crave sushi and they offer delivery!

    I got the seared salmon and the tuna roll. I enjoyed both of them but I wouldn't say it's especially good. I was disappointed that there were only 5 rolls in each order. Typically it's at least 6 when you order from a sushi restaurant

    Shrimp

    A little hole on the wall, tiny place but with a ton of taste. They specialize in hand rolls. I had the shrimp with crunch in both hand roll style and cut and hand roll is by far the best. The service is super friendly and accommodating. Very nice and fast. The food is ready almost as soon as you order, it is pretty fast-casual but with a nice ambiance of soft lighting and light music.

    My go-to lunch spot! They have a great lunch special with really good quality sushi. 3 rolls for $19.95 and comes with either a soup or edamame. The servers are extremely attentive and the food always comes out super quick. The restaurant is small and cozy. Would definitely recommend!

    Yellowtail Scallion Hand Roll
    Betty C.

    I am counting down the days to come back again! A cozy little spot with attentive service. I rarely eat alone, but eating at the bar made it easy. You can watch the chef make the sushi and hand it to you directly. I walked right in for lunch hour. They have a great lunch special of 3 rolls for $19.95. Some rolls had an up charge but given the quality and freshness, it was worth it. - Toro Roll: flavorful yet light. A classic. +$2.50 - Yellowtail Scallion: fresh and clean - Botan Ebi: shrimp was crisp to bite into which was unexpected since it's raw. Enjoyable roll that's different but I may not get again because I personally found the plum sauce overpowering. (I was really in the mood for light food this day.) Highly recommended to stop by!

    This Daigo is better than the one in Dekalb, and my go-to for hand rolls. The seafood is fresh, and love the minimalist seating counter - this is not meant as a place to linger but a place to get a quick delicious bite and leave. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. What sets this place apart from the Dekalb location (and other neighborhood sushi shops for that matter), is the rice. Here it is absolutely perfect: in respect to temperature, texture, and taste. But don't take my word for it, you should go try for yourself! I chalk the quality up to the friendly old Japanese chef who usually works exclusively out of this location. My favorite place in the neighborhood for good quality, quick, affordable sushi.

    Have wanted to try this place for a bit. Had been a tad disappointed with some of our sushi orders from other places in the neighborhood. The amount you get in the rolls is less than you might be used to but the pieces, quality of the fish and creativity more than make up for it. They're also not out there charging the same price as a 6 piece roll for only 5 pieces, it's slightly cheaper. We got a wide selection but my choices were the spicy scallop, the shrimp with shiso and plum paste and the toro. The shrimp with shiso and plum was excellent. I've had shiso with sushi and liked it but the plum added an extra kick that I'd not experienced before. The toro was top tier as well. It also comes in a nice little box, the ginger was especially fresh and delish.

    My favorite takeout sushi spot! The fish is fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't speak to the service or the vibe of the store, as I have only ever gotten delivery, but I will say that the sushi here is consistently good.

    The best ! Daigo makes great sushi rolls. Very fresh and delicious. The spicy scallop roll was my favorite, the best I've had in a very long time. The other rolls were delicious too. The rolls come nicely presented in a box, very appetizing and professionally designed. All around excellent.

My friends and I ordered the ozakaya donburi set, chicken karaage curry, kaki fried and a5 fried rice. The fish was buttery delicious. Loved how they serve a hot broth at the very end of your donburi set. Save some rice at the end for a nice experience to end your meal. The a5 was fatty and the karaage was fried perfectly. The restaurant was very busy when we went on a Saturday afternoon. The back dining area was crowded and very full. Our food came out quickly and i will definitely be back try some of their uni dishes. Highly recommend their donburi sets.

The tables are a bit small and tight though, so they brought out our food in courses. We started off with the Kaishin Don ($45), which was perfectly plated over a bed of rice. This one came with a good amount of uni, which was much appreciated. Then we had the Ozakaya Donburi Set ($49), which is such a fun one. You have a raw egg to mix into your seafood bowl accompanied with some pickled veggies and sliced sashimi. Once you've ate more than half your bowl, you can get a broth that finished cooking your fish and turning the rice into porridge. The broth is savory and tangy, which gives it such a nice and refreshing flavor. We enjoyed both of these dishes a lot and it was fun to make your own handrolls. Then came the Mentai Pasta ($19), which is sadly one of the worst things I've ever ate. Not only was there barely any Mentai flavor, but the mayonnaise completely overpowered everything. I couldn't get over how I might as well have ate a spoonful of mayo on its own; that's how rich and heavy this dish was. The bacon was overcooked as well but somewhat cut all the mayo. I even tried to add some soy sauce but there was no saving this pasta. We ended up tossing the rest of the dish and I am not one to waste food. I even tried to complain to the waitress but she just ignored it. It was unfortunate because the other dishes we had were amazing. Luckily we were still able to end on a good note as we ordered the Oshiruko ($12) for dessert. This came with two scoops of matcha ice cream, grilled mochi, and red bean. Everything went well together and the matcha was strong. It's wild how good and bad some of the dishes were here. Definitely stick to the sushi and rice bowl dishes and whatever you do, DO NOT order the mentai pasta unless you love mayo.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

    While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
