Hmmm, Not sure how I feel about this place. My first time trying a sushi burrito, it was loaded with red cabbage (which is SO confusing, had to take a lot of it out because there was more cabbage than salmon). Paid $13 for the "Slammin Salmon", pretty pricey. I also was the only one waiting, the 2 people working behind the counter didn't acknowledge me for about 7 minutes. Don't think I'd give this place a second chance read more

Hai Street wasn't the best sushi burrito I've ever had, but it is a solid place to check out if you're craving a healthy, fast-casual meal. I usually get the Slammin' Salmon, which has salmon, gochujang, and a mix of vegetables. Though I'd like to build my own burrito, this one is pretty decent. I saved the other half for lunch the next day and it still held up really well! Be warned! Salmon tends to run out by the end of the day. Service was quick and efficient, which is a plus since especially since Urbanspace can get crowded during meal times. read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon during the prime lunch hour (12:00pm-1:00pm) since it's near my work. Every vendor in Urbanspace had a long line except this place. I was pressed for time and I was looking for a healthy option so I picked Hai Street Kitchen. I wanted to like this place but I was disappointed. I ordered a Slammin' Salmon sushi burrito. The burrito itself was not even wrapped tightly. All the ingredients fell out before I even started eating. The gochujang sauce was spicy but they put too much of it so it made the rice super soggy. The staff were friendly and fast at least. However, I should have just walked to Pokeworks nearby instead. They definitely have better sushi burritos. I doubt I would ever come back. read more

The Crunch (Sushi Burrito) First time trying this. Wasn't anything impressive or flavorful for that matter. I'd much rather have regular sushi. It's pretty soggy and messy. If I come back, I'd definitely spring for something else. read more

I was really excited to try a sushi burrito, but frankly after the experience here I don't think I care to try again in the future. First off, while I understand that nearly every vendor in this UrbanSpace location is absurdly marked up for the location/marketing to the working professionals in the area, this burrito was so not worth $15 (for the spicy tuna one, with an extra $2 for the wasabi guac that threw this to $17). I don't think I'd even pay $5 for it, because what I got was a soggy, oversalted mess of rice, veggies, soggy seaweed, and a couple chunks of tuna. To be fair I did get this at the end of the day, but ultimately I don't think that's any excuse for what felt like just a very poor job in putting together a fairly simple dish. The lady who did it obviously went ham on the soy sauce or whatever they use inside the burrito, which effectively ruined the whole thing. But even if it wasn't an oversalted and wet mess, I don't think the amount or quality of food you get is worth the $15 you'll have to part with (and I couldn't even taste the wasabi guac, so definitely pass on that). I also tried the matcha iced tea, which was too sugary and light on the matcha (basically did nothing to wake me up and only had a slight matcha taste). I did like the matcha popcorn bag that I bought, but I'm sure you could buy that elsewhere for less. Overall, give this place a hard pass, certainly for the burrito. read more

My brother and I came here before watching an off-Broadway play that he found around lunch time. I have to say, claim your seats because this place gets incredibly packed and I mean to the brim. There are tons of lines and I was looking for something fresh. I ordered one of their turnip the beet burritos without any feta cheese. The flavors were vibrant and the sushi was packed nice and tight. I think the time you come here can influence your rating because the service was good and the food was prepared well. I really liked the roasted beets and pickled red onion, it made for a great bite. If it gets hectic, I can anticipate the workers starting to push the pace and that might hamper on quality. Otherwise, I look forward to trying some of the actual sushi like their avocado cucumber roll in the future. read more

Ehhh overpriced but good. Paid $15 for the salmon sushi burrito with avocado. Fresh ingredients but the fillings were kind of strange like pickled jicama and red cabbage which aren't your usual sushi fillings. It works anyway. I wish they had regular stuff like cucumber or lettuce even and egg. $2 extra for avocado. It was filling, fast, and fresh read more

Sushi is definitely not my thing and when I heard about sushi burritos, I was apprehensive to try them. Hai Street has a great menu where they don't just have your typical sushi dishes. They have other options too that don't include raw fish. I got the Chicken Sushi Burrito and loved it. The wrap is seaweed and I got brown rice inside. It has a tangy sauce and the chicken inside is fried. It is huge and very filling. It may seem overpriced for a burrito but, it made for 2 meals because it's so big and filling. This specific one I went to is in Urbanspace. The line was not long and the staff was very nice and quick. I got my burrito in less than 10 minutes. read more

Gone were the days when this place was actually good. I still remember when I tried it first in Philly. It was fresh and had balanced flavors. However this time when I tried it, it was full of ingredients that did not go together. The beets were crispy and strange tasting. The sauces were also not quite right. It was sweet and salty, but in an incoherent way. I could not finish half the roll and needed to order from down the street. read more

Value: 4/10 Experience: 6/10 Taste: 4/10 Overly hyped location without the taste to back it up. Honestly would have rather eaten the sushi cut up normally or a regular burrito. Value: I got the spicy tuna burrito with avocado for $17, way too expensive! The burrito was averaged sized and will fill you up since there is a lot of rice. They don't even close the ends so it's literally just a thick uncut sushi. It also cost $3 to add avocado... Experience: Servers were friendly and I got the food quickly. It's inside urban space so there's no designated area for Hai Street. Taste: The burrito was bland and lacked the balance of flavor regular sushi has. I couldn't really taste the tuna because it was covered by the picked radishes and massive dose of wasabi. I had to stop eating at times because I was just getting mouthfuls of wasabi...definitely needs to be more spread out...Because the burrito wasn't folded tightly or closed on the sides it also fell apart as I was eating it. I was super excited to try this place but honestly left extremely disappointed. read more

It's located inside urbanspace Vanderbilt. They have 4 options for the sushi burritos; spicy tuna, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, or chicken katsu. I opted for the spicy salmon. It wasn't spicy and I wish there was more flavor from the fish as well. All you could really taste was the veggies. I'm glad there wasn't a lot of rice in it. I expected a lot more. read more

Hmm how should I phrase this? I was really into the concept of sushi-burrito after reading it on various sources, and Hai Street, according to them, is one of those better ones. Not really in the mood of wraps, I opted for Poke bowl, another favorite of mine. Unfortunately, they ran out of Ahi tuna by the time I got there (around 9pm) so I went with the spicy tuna instead. Things I loved: salmon was marinated well and the light garlic flavor made it even tastier. Things I dislike: rice was as hard as a piece of rock! I must say I have been to much better Pokebowl places and Hai Street is just mediocre. I would not return. read more

This two star rating is solely for their tuna sushi burrito. I've been craving for a sushi burrito for a while, but Pokeworks is a little too far for me to get there during lunch time. This past Friday, I gave in to this place for lunch because UrbanSpace is a lot closer to my work. I very much regretted leaving my coworkers' planned lunch place to come here. Ordered a Tuna Sushi Burrito, and after I opened it, the "tuna" looked like apple sauce but in spicy tuna color. Because of how liquidity the tuna was, the amount of vegetables complete overshadowed the "tuna". I am quoting the word because I honestly don't even know what it was. The resulted burrito is more of a crunchy veggie burrito with apple-sauce-textured tuna wrapped in soggy seaweed. Not to mention that the burrito was $13. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. This is day two since consuming that burrito, and I am still so upset about it. read more

OH MY GOODNESS! I am probably way too obsessed with this place that it's unhealthy, I literally had to go on Yelp and write this review as soon as I finished photographing my beautiful sushi burrito and devouring it so quick I don't know if I even give myself a chance to truly enjoy it. So, I've known about this place for a while-- the Philly location at least. And when I saw pictures of it, I made it my DUTY to one day go to Philly and try out their sushi burrito (also pretty obsessed with Sushiritto but I don't think they'll be making an entrance to NYC anytime soon). So of course, when I was lurking on Yelp last night and found that someone had bookmarked a Hai Street Kitchen in NYC I was blown away!! And it is extremely close to where I work in midtown east. The next day, I came to go get it for lunch. Now, looking for it was a little bit confusing for me because I had never been in "Urban Space" and Park Ave is both sides of the street... you know, in front of that busy two way road. So, I walked to both sides and I couldn't find it, I was looking pretty dumb at this point walking back and forth and just praying Google maps will lead me right in front of it.. even though I was right there. FINALLY, I found out that it's PARK AVE, between 46th and 47th street and it's on the other side under the bridge near the Duane Reade not the Bobby Van Steakhouse. Urban Space is a little cafeteria looking place with lots of options but Hai Street Kitchen is one of the first you see. After being scarred from my 1.5 hour lunch wait yesterday, I purposely came around 2:30-3:00pm to be pleasantly surprised with no line! I ordered the Hai Street Chicken, which is a chicken katsu. All prices already include tax (lucky for me because I forgot my card and only had cash on me!). There was only one guy rolling at the time, consistent with the photo someone uploaded of the same guy rolling for them. (Geez, I wonder how terrible the lunch line must be if there is only one person rolling it). But, for me I was in and out in around 5 minutes. While carrying it back to my office, I could smell the sauce that they had generously poured all over my burrito and it smelled absolutely DELIGHTFUL! Every bite in this burrito sent me to heaven.. (okay, figuratively), except the purple lettuce which I found to be terribly bitter. The burrito doesn't fall apart and is large in size, though I could easily chomp down the whole thing by myself and would definitely be considered a very light lunch if I shared it. It's similar to a 6" Subway-- in length. My Hai Street Chicken was filled with two generous, meaty pieces of katsu drenched in some sauce that made the entire burrito super savory. The rice is sweet in the way you except sushi rice to be and sticks perfectly to the piece of seaweed they have. I will DEFINITELY be back to try their salmon option! read more

So obviously the whole sushi burrito concept IMO is a bit of a stretch because sushi as we know it is an art and is known for their quality even if it is small in portion so having it twisted into a massive burrito, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you're up to trying the Asian flavors in a burrito, a sushi burrito from here is quite tasty. I had the Flamin' Tuna and I enjoyed all the ingredients incorporated in it. Like what other Yelpers mentioned in their reviews, there was a lot more veggies than the fish, but I find that it didn't diminish on the flavor of the whole burrito, instead, it had the right crunch, sweet, and overall good combo. And the price is a bit high, $13 for my Flamin' Tuna. Oh and it can get quite messy at the ends of the burrito if they didn't roll it up tight enough. I was a bit disappointed in their service, they forgot my order or they gave my order to someone else. Like obviously I'm the only one still in the waiting area and people that ordered after me are getting their orders already. I get it that I came during the lunch rush, but come on, I shouldn't have waited 15 minutes for my burrito. The employees here need to be on top of things more, therefore the 2 stars for this place. read more

Just finishing eating half of a Flamin Tuna burrito without the beets and have to say that I'm a fan. I walked to Urbanspace from work for the first time. It's like an amusement park for foodies. I want to try every stand. I had already read some reviews and had made up my mind to try the Flamin Tuna Sushi Burrito. It took me all of a slow 3 min to find it, as I was checking out the donuts, got stuck behind an overwhelmed lost person, and then, as if I was in Port Authority, tried to figure out if I was standing in the right diagonal line. I was! score. There were 3 people in front of me so my experience was quick. I ordered the Sushi Burrito with no beets. I'm ordering it without cucumbers next time too because I don't like them. I wish I'd read the menu more clearly. I also decided to try the matcha green tea even though I had no idea what it was. The green tea is a cold, delicious tea. Really amazing. It looks healthy, so I'm hoping it is :) I sat at my desk, sipping my tea as I admired their fancy hexagonal box and tried to figure out how I was supposed to open the damn thing. I cracked open the sticker and poured some of the spicy mayo I'd requested on the side. YUMMM so good. It honestly hit the spot for lunch. I've saved half of it. The spicy mayo was def. the way to go. I def. want to try out more of the places in Urbanspace, but I know Hai Street Kitchen will be a repeat. read more

Sushi Burritos are the hot new trend right now and I was excited to see this place open near my office. There was a long line and a vibe that this was going to special - it's not. Compared to Pokeworks, another new arrival by 37th, this place is a pale imitation. The quality of the ingredients are subpar. The choice of toppings are small. The taste? Eh. Looks at the pictures -where's the fish?? Not recommended. read more

Hai Street Kitchen - My lettuce burrito - where's the salmon?? - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I really wanted to like it but I was so disappointed I had to buy something else to replace this sad lunch. Hai street turned out to be another half ass establishment trying to cash in on the sushi burrito game. By cash I mean $13 for a tuna burrito that hardly had any real tuna. The whole time I was biting into it, I would only get bites of carrot, Lettuce and rice. I was saying to my self "where's the tuna? I'm not tasting any tuna. Digging finally to the center i tasted this soy sauce spiced liquidy mush. There was no cubed sliced or chunked - it was Mush!! And about those vegetables, they no where pair with the fish. Give me something like seaweed or Cucumber. Not a wad of carrot shavings and 20 layers of Lettuce. For $13 I could've had better quality and quantity of fish at any other sushi place. I do not recommend this place to anyone read more

When I came on a Sunday at lunch time, there was no line. I got the salmon one and they were able to take credit card for payment. $13, a little steep but whatever, I figured, that's what you pay for the "in" food at the moment. The staff were all super friendly and easy to talk to. My food came out nice, fast, and pre-packaged for me. When I finally found a spot to sit down in the shade to eat it, it was mostly vegetables. The salmon was fresh and delicious (wish there was a little more of it). But ... at the same time, I appreciated the large quantity of veggies that make it much healthier. I may not be rushing to eat it again but ... I think everyone should try it at least once!!! And it's quite filling! read more

We went to the new Hai Street Kitchen in Urban Space and as I have learnt now, if it's new there'll be a queue! As yet sushi burritos are not available in Manchester UK so I was very excited about this! There are 5 choices - Hai Street Chicken, Flamin' Tuna, Turnip the Beet, Ho-Lee-Shrimp, and Slamin' Salmon. We went for the tuna and saw that it was big enough to share between two for a light lunch. Just like a burrito place, the wrap is a sheet of nori with rice already spread in it, then they top it with raw tuna, spicy sauce and lots of fresh salad and roll it up! It comes packed in a cute hexagonal cardboard tube, handy for taking it over to the park or back to the office! The burrito was indeed very filling - and I only ate half! It was essentially a giant tuna maki with delicious hot sauce and crunchy pickled veg. I'd definitely recommend this if you want a filling sushi meal that's handy and not messy to eat! read more

I ordered the slammin' salmon when they had a stand at Broadway Bites and thought the jicama overpowered everything else, and the ratio of veggies to protein was bad enough that I was getting whole bites of just greens. The vegetables they use in their burritos also don't mesh well with raw salmon, so maybe they would work better with the other proteins offered? It's a nice attempt at changing the status quo of sushi burritos (not the traditional ingredients found in sushi rolls such as avocado, fish eggs, etc) but ultimately a failed attempt. Unless they change their menu or lower their prices, I can't see myself coming back with the plethora of casual fast food restaurants in the city. P.S. To the reviewer who calls this place an imitation of Pokeworks, Hai Street Kitchen came first. Just because they opened in NYC later than Pokeworks, doesn't mean they're newer. They have locations in other states. The food here is also quite different. read more

Disclaimer: this is the first sushi burrito I ever had. On a Wednesday afternoon, I came here with the intention of getting a salmon burrito but they said they had run out.

I tried the Slammin' Salmon and was satisfied but not overly impressed. It was definitely messy to eat because the sauce makes the sushi burrito very soggy and it starts falling apart - I had to use a fork and knife to finish my meal. In terms of flavor, there is definitely a distinct sauce (kind of spicy, salty, sour) on the Slammin' Salmon... I enjoyed the sauce, but I could see how it might have a distinct and acquired taste. Anyway, I think I would stick to the bowls in the future just because the burrito was so difficult to eat, but I would definitely eat here again! read more

Came here to pick up lunch in between meetings, and was pretty disappointed. I've already seen the sushi burrito craze come and go in the Bay Area (shoutout to Sushirrito and its perpetual disappointment) and decided to give Hai Street Kitchen a shot. To their credit, the line moved relatively quickly. I ordered the Hai Street Chicken, and they said it would take a bit longer because the chicken was in the oven. When I finally had a chance to eat it, I was severely disappointed. The chicken was soggy (partially my fault for eating it late, but also suffocating crispy chicken inside a roll of rice and vegetables didn't help), the vegetables weren't very flavorful, and the whole burrito was pretty bland. I was hungry so I managed to make it through 3/4 of the thing before asking myself why I was eating it at all. Ended up throwing the last 1/4 away. Probably won't come back here - too many other choices in Urbanspace Vanderbilt for me to give it another chance. Might end up being my last sushi burrito ever, actually. read more

Let me tell you, Hai Street Kitchen was mind-blowing. Delicious menu items and excellent service. I am really happy that I wound up ordering Ho-lee-shrimp Burrito, it was incredible, just an amazing taste. The people that work here are really nice. I liked it. read more

Very creative and delicious style of "fast food". Create your own burrito (with "nori" seaweed as the outer wrap). Really enjoyed our meal of tempura shrimp with spicy mayo, papaya and pickled jicama, and another wrap containing panko-crusted chicken with the same fixings. The only downer was the staff and the disconnect they had with their own "build your own" sign. The preparer/server we had didn't know that we could choose a garnish (basil, jalapeño etc) and made a big deal about us asking for it (when their own, prominently displayed sign said that we do). A general manager was loudly (obnoxiously?) summoned, much to our dismay as well as the other patrons waiting behind us. When the GM arrived, rather than immediately accommodating our very simple request (we're talking about a pinch of jalapeños here!) she kind of made us feel badly for asking, when it is their sign which (according to them) was incorrect. As we sat down to eat, we noticed that they turned that panel of the sign off. Other patrons came over to us afterward to say how incredulous they were at how the staff handled our request (which would have been their request as well...). Anyway, hopefully they will get their act together. The food offered here is quite good when visiting The Westchester Mall. read more

I was in the mood for some poke and came to Hai Street because it was close to my office. Maybe I've been super spoiled by other neighbor poke places, but I feel like I got mediocre poke for a high price. I had the salmon soy citrus over white rice - which includes pineapples and a scoop of guacamole. For $13, I really expected to get more than measly 2 oz of salmon. This poke bowl left me wanting more. I guess the midtown location really raises the prices - as this was an expensive and unsatisfying lunch. read more

The sushi burrito is ridiculously padded with beets. The wasabi guacamole is actually nice - but the absolutely miserly amount of it, fish, and basically non-beets makes this not only deeply unfulfilling but also leaves you feeling cheated on value, even for US$15 in midtown. read more

Hai Street Kitchen - Hai Kitchen. Beets all the way down. - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Nothing like your SF Sushirrito (ugh I miss it) but a reasonable substitute. Pricing should be expected from this location, honestly.

I really wanted to LOVE it! But probably won't be back unless an out-of-towner wants to try it out. I had the Hai Street Chicken. CONS - Wait was about 10 minutes. They said they would text but I never got one. Just went back to the counter. - Just like any normal sized sushi, the fillings own their own sides, so with this huge burrito, you'd have to take three messy bites to get a taste of everything at once. - Sauce seemed to be just in the middle of the sushi burrito and not at the ends. - A little pricy. I feel for $11 ++ you should get some kind of side. PROS - It's a large burrito and the flavors were all there. - I was afraid there'd be too much rice vs. protein, but they did a good job keeping the balance. - The sauce though! - Made to order, meaning the chicken was super crispy. It's one of those things you have to try once. Overall pretty yummy and very instagrammable. But I don't think it's something you'd want to go back and revisit. read more
