    Dragon Roll in the front, Dinosaur Roll in the back.
    Val L.

    When I was younger I used to frequent this place and I remember it always being so fresh and delicious. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore and it's also complicated because they've always been cash only so when I saw them pop up on uber eats I got very excited. I ordered the sumumono, dinosaur roll and dragon roll. The sumumono was fresh and tasted good but the portion was tiny - had 2 pieces of surf clam, one piece of Kani, 1 shrimp, and a few pieces of octopus. I'm used to sunumono being a mix of raw fish-salmon, tuna, white fish, etc so it was a bit disappointing to see such a lack of ingredients. The dinosaur roll was bizarre...the salmon skin on top was mixed with Kani and something else and was EXTREMELY salty and I had to take most of it off. The dragon roll was nothing special either. When made correctly, dragon is my favorite roll but no one seems to use good eel anymore and this has been going on for years. I was hoping this place would have the eel I remembered it having but it was the same fatty eel that was a bit dried up, tiny pieces in the roll with too much rice and just not too enjoyable. Don't know if I'll be ordering from here again, another sushi restaurant down with the rest

    Raw oysters

    Came here to order takeout. Order was quick and ready in 15 minutes. Ordered sashimi/sushi platter and the fish were all pretty fresh and decent. Fancy rice was loaded with a bunch of different things (salmon,sauces,avocado,,etc) and it tasted pretty good. Oyster was fresh and they pack it on top of ice so it stays cold even when u take it home. Prices aren't bad and order was ready fairly quick. It's a good place to order decent takeout from

    Came on a Friday night around 7pm and it was pretty much empty. A majority of their business is from take out. The main reason we wanted to eat in was to try the oysters, which were delicious! We also got the fancy salmon roll and spicy white fish roll. Even though they were different fish, I couldn't really tell the difference because there was a lot of sauce on top. The spicy mayo was good but next time I will request less sauce on top.

    Priced higher than most local spots. Food is good but expensive. Fresh fish and a decent assortment. I always opt for the trays with multiple sashimi and rolls. They didn't disappoint. Delivery was quick and prompt and they take credit cards.

    Party tray c $50

    East sushi Bistro is a small sushi take out spot right off of Avenue U. They are always busy and the sushi here is usually fresh. The prices for my usual go to went up by $5. The party tray A is now about $40 and it comes with two miso soup. The soup is great with mini cubes of tofu and seaweeds. Very delicious special rolls. Tiger roll has shrimp and avocado in it and my favorite bay roll which is deep fried with cream cheese and salmon fish and avocado. The wasabi they use is weird and is neon green. The wait time is about 20 minutes.

    Good lunch deal of $10.50 plus tax for 3 rolls & miso soup. I opted for spicy yellowtail, spicy tuna w avocado (no cream cheese for me) and the salmon roll. The spicy fish were a bit mayoey and and bit mushy. They were generous on the avocado and the salmon roll was good. The rice was vinegary- nice, a bit gummy. A pint of soup. Decent deal for a quick pickup.

    Fresh clams

    Love this spot for sushi in the area. The sushi is always fresh! Highly recommend to order their fresh clams and their house party trays are good especially for sharing.

    special roll combo (subbed dragon roll for volcano roll)
    Jenny N.

    This is my go to sushi spot when I want special rolls. Unfortunately, they are not open on Tuesdays. I normally order a platter when I'm with a group of people. They have a maki party (10 regular rolls) for $40 which is great to share amongst a few friends. If I want to treat myself, I would get the special combo roll and switch out one of the rolls and pay the difference. My favorite roll is the volcano roll. The volcano roll is only 6 pieces but they are huge. The texture and flavor of the eel avocado & squid mix is to die for!! Definitely recommend for your future parties!

    this hands down one of the best sushi place in brooklyn! i been visiting here for the past 10 years!!!! always fresh and delicious!!!!!

    sushi platter
    Felicia L.

    stopped by here 2 days before Thanksgiving to order a sushi platter to pick up on Thanksgiving Day. The restaurant itself is small with just a few tables. It seems more like a take out place but I've seen people dining in before. We ordered a platter, mixed and matched the rolls, and the chef chooses the sashimi assortment. They did ask for the entire payment when I placed the order and gave me a receipt for pick up. Prior to placing the order, I hadn't eaten here before but our family friends had recommended them. They were also the only sushi place near me that was going to be open on Thanksgiving Day. My mom and I ended up getting a couple of rolls to try later that day - spicy tuna and ginza roll. I loved the sushi to rice ratio (less rice). Fish was also fresh. My sister helped pick up the platter but it was ready on time, and everyone loved the sushi. There were no leftovers. We actually devoured the entire platter fairly quickly. I would definitely come back.

    I ordered the sashimi regular! Very delicious and fresh, especially the salmon and the striped bass
    Jessica W.

    I love this place! My first time here after living in the area for years! I fell in love with the striped bass sashimi As an avid sushi lover who regularly eats sushi in Sheepshead Bay, I can immediately tell that the fish served here is fresh. It melted in my mouth and it tasted very delicious! The wasabi here is also great and the miso soup was really yummy. I will definitely be coming here again for their party dishes!

    Have been here a handful of times now and think it's pretty solid for the area! Have never been for…read moredinner so can only speak for the lunch vibe, but I have found the service to be great and the lighting is nice because there are floor to ceiling windows. The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Another Thai owned Japanese restaurant specializing in izakaya style cuisine in Bushwick. 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.

    Izakaya Tenzo is a welcome addition to the BedStuy food scene. They'd been on my radar for a while…read moreand we stopped in on a Saturday evening when we wanted dinner but not anything too heavy. This fit the bill exactly. 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.
