This place is Number 1 in my books. 1 i have eaten a LOT of sushi in my life and this is good, really the best. 2. Pricing is also good and priced accordingly. (I come here for just a snack sometimes, but shh) 3. They have soju - nuff said 5 stars read more

I came in strictly based off the reviews. How could I not? I ordered a seaweed salad and then an eel plate (roll and four nigiri). Probably the best eel I've ever had. The mackerel was okay and the sea urchin was typical - a little like boat rope, but not their fault as I'm trying to love this and it's just not clicking. It was quite creamy and felt fresh. The salmon roe was quite good. Service was prompt and kind, ambiance was a bit cluttered and disheveled, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Most NY restaurants have too little space. I concur with all the other reviews that this place is fresh and of good value. Check it out! read more

Great sushi joint. Prices are super affordable for NYC, sushi is fresh, staff is hard working and super friendly, and the place is clean. It also always has people inside. Overall I will be back here. read more

AMAZING..again! the bimbibap lunch was extraordinarily big and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and most importantly, there was a generous portion, in addition to the usual sides they give. Owner and service staff are friendly. Carry outs were more than the sit-downs. Great lunch spot. Also very clean and tidy. 10 stars!!!! Please continue to support your local businesses!! read more

Staff was quick and friendly. Went late at night but it got pretty busy around 8-9pm. It's a nice place for a date or even to meet up with friends. Definitely an underrated gem in the city. So many options to chose from and the prices are affordable read more

As the name says, they also offer bbq, specifically Korean bbq. I tried the sushi only. Instead of putting the tobiko or ikura on rice they put it on cucumber cups which was cute an added crunch. read more

Service: very nice waitress. Loads of seats. Quiet. They turn off the brighter lights after a certain time, but can request to turn back on. I ordered their beef teriyaki. The beef was a little tough to chew. Seafood rice ball was good. read more

Finding this location was kind of a hole in the wall, especially with all the scaffolding around the restaurant but there is a big sign for it! The service was good and the lady and the chef were so sweet. Our meals were served with the Korean side dishes, and I was so happy about this. We ordered a spicy pork bento box and two sushi rolls: sunshine and spicy tuna crunch. It ended up being a lot more food than we could comfortably finish. The sushi was tasty and the bento had a good amount of spicy pork and the sides (mandoo, California roll, spring tempura, salad) read more

Recently had takeout from them. I had passed them a few times and was curious. I guess it's Korean and Japanese fusion. I'd be interested in some of their Korean dishes. Anyway, my boyfriend's mom ordered some kind of crazy party platter. Personally, I think it's way too much money. I'd be more than happy with just 2 sushi rolls but it was a fun treat yo self moment. There was a decent variety but mostly limited to from what I can tell salmon, tuna, white tuna, and eel in both rolls and sashimi. But everything tasted super fresh. I'd definitely do it again but maybe with less sashimi and just rolls or go there in person. read more

First time here. Did an order to go. Staff was super friendly and took good care of us and packaged our meal really well. Food was super delicious! Loved how they labeled the food too and put in extra goodies like kimchi, cucumber salad and extra soy sauce and mayo. The inside was super cute too. read more

Very nice staff there that greets you when you enter and thanks you when you exit. Inside has a lot of seating. I ordered right before their lunch options ended and got the sushi and sashimi lunch special. The cuts were plenty and the quality was good and fresh. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth and would come back. read more

Amazing service, great salmon and yellow tail sushi, very fresh and cute inside. Felt family oriented. Very reasonable prices as well!! Go support smaller businesses and stop by. read more

Randomly decided on this place because we had an errand nearby, and will definitely make an effort to come back. Had some basic sushi rolls and everything was fresh and tasty. Good portions. My son had the Michu dessert and loved it. Great service. Friendly staff. read more

We were looking for something nearby and found EJ BBQ Sushi based on their great reviews. We were a bit taken aback when we arrived at the front door as it's not fancy at all and the table was a bit sticky. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating - except when we were looking to get the check which took 15 minutes - not sure why, it wasn't crowded. The fried pork gyoza was good and so was the miso soup. Miso soup usually only comes with an entrée but they comped us a miso soup even though we ordered a la carte. We enjoyed the California roll, American sushi (special ordered tuna salmon yellowtail) and beef japchae. The portions and sushi quality were good. The beef on the japchae was very tasty and came with the usual comped Korean side dishes of spicy and pickled items. The mango mochi wasn't very good so we'd definitely skip that. It was affordable and a great choice for nearby FIT students (who will also get a discount). We would return if we were in the area and looking for affordable sushi but would not go out of way to return. read more

Friendly fast service. Sushi was delicious, sashimi very fresh and creamy. Nice sake list.

In NYC on business and needed somewhere quick to grab lunch between meetings. Never had nicer, quicker service in my life. I had sat down, ordered gotten my food, eaten and paid in under 20 minutes. Clearly a family/locally run business, it's quaint and cute inside and perfect for a quick stop and go. read more

I invited for lunch snd Had a wonderful time at this place. Food is amazing. We had a set of assorted sushi boats, udon, kimchi stew, miso soup and fried mochi ice cream for dessert. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. Everything we tried had us wanting more. You rarely find a price-friendly restaurant anymore. I would like to definitely return. read more

Came here on a whim for lunch on vacation and was not disappointed in the slightest. Enjoyed it so much we came back a second time on our 4 day trip. The ambiance was excellent, it is a quiet, cozy, and compact dinning room. We had no wait and there wasnt too many people there either time. The service is a true 10/10. EJ is friendly with diners and made us feel truly welcome and like he cared/was excited that we were there. My girlfriend was having a hard time with her chopsticks and EJ noticed and put together easy-to-use chopsticks to make things easier for her. Food is also top notch. I had the chicken katsu bento box for lunch and the katsu sauce was outstanding. Also the best ginger salad and miso soup I have ever had. Cannot recommend enough. read more

I was welcomed by a big smile from Mr. David, the chef and the owner whose face is on the brochure lol. The cashier was really nice to let me order lunch special on Saturday (suppose to be only for weekdays). I had bulgogi, and it was reeeally good. Comes with side dishes-banchan. Love it. I def recommend the korean food, esp knowing the chef aka the owner is a Korean. read more

The food was amazing the service was very good would recommend the place! if I can add 10 stars I would!

Another extra ordinary Korean cuisine experience! All home made kimchi and side dishes were amazing! The authentic crab dish (special order) was very special and tasty. Million thank-you to the great chef Sim and very friendly staff! read more

Food was wonderful, and the service was great. The friendly owner greeted us and checked on us during dinner. Hidden gem!

I ordered the Kalbi and my boyfriend,Salmon teriyaki bento box They've earned one star simply because the server was very unaccommodating and rude. She spitefully never brought the extra glass of ice we asked until I asked her again and when my bf asked for straws, she dropped the uncovered on the table and I had to grab it before it fell. read more

I don't typically do reviews, but this place deserves it. The owner is there and so proud of his restaurant, which he should be. Everything we ate was incredible, service was top notch. They gave us 2 free sides of Kimchi, and the food was reasonably priced. If I lived in NYC, I'd be a regular at this place. The inside of the restaurant was very well decorated as well. Just overall a nice place. read more

EJ's looks like a run-of-the-mill cheap sushi spot, but the surprise will be how great the sushi is compared to its low-key appearance. I can tell you I've exhausted sushi places in the area, and places more expensive are not even as good! (I'll spare the doxing). Amazing value here. Service is great and the people that own it remember your name and treat you like they're excited to have you. read more

The service was great. The food was the best sushi I've ever had and I really loved it. It was such a nice experience.

They had quick service and friendly staff, along with very cozy decor. The food was tasty and the lunch special had great prices. For delicious sushi in NYC, I wouldn't ask for more! read more

Food was sooooo good. Service and ambiance very nice too. Will for sure be coming back!

I ordered tekka maki (tuna roll) and it was lovely. A few nights later I ordered the "crab salad". When it was delivered I discovered that it's not crab, it's surimi (fake crab- processed bottom fish). I called and they agreed to refund my money. So just want others to know it's not as advertised, but the sushi I got was great. read more

My first time here and this place is such a hidden gem! Walked in and had such a friendly welcome from the chef and staff. The prices are so affordable for the quality that you get. Tried the salmon bento box, shrimp shumai, and about six different rolls. Service was friendly and fast and for the price 10/10 recommend read more

I'd been meaning to review this place for a while now. It's adorable! It's not fancy, but it's home style. The food is great, and the employees here are so nice! We always feel welcome here. I want to make sure that this place stays in business! It's not a date night spot, unless it is - but certainly a great lunch or casual dinner or takeout. Everything we've had there is great. read more
