    Went for a quick bite on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. The service was very quick and attentive. I loved the theme throughout the restaurant, super cute! Food came out in probably 10 minutes or so, definitely helped that it was not too busy. The Rock N Roll is my favorite! The Kani Salad was bigger than expected so great value. Will definitely be returning if I am ever in the area.

    The food is great. I love going here during my lunch break. It's perfect to call beforehand and pick up because they're usually always ready. I've had 2 inches or maybe three where I did go and order and let's just say only one of those times I received it within 10 minutes. The ambience is very nice. It's dim lit with wonderful Japanese theme things around and I love the anime the Pokémon as well as seeing Goku just hanging around the shop. It was very nice, especially since I am familiar with a little bit of Dragon Ball Z it was very refreshing to see during my work hours.

    Crispy Rice

    Solid casual spot for traditional rolls and sushi spot offerings. Everything is decently priced. Walked in on a weekend late afternoon and the place was starting to get packed towards the evening. We ordered a few items off their Happy Hour menu + a few off the regular menu. HH weekdays are 4-7 pm + weekends 5-7 pm, FYI! What we got: - Crispy Rice: Great bite-sized pieces; filling! - Gyoza / Kani Salad: Good, standard bites - Sex on the Beach Roll / Rainbow Roll: Both were tasty with fresh fish! The fish:rice ratio were on point as well! - Shrimp & Veg Tempura: Crispy, fresh, and delicious. Overall, I'd deem this as a reliable neighborhood spot. Would definitely recommend + return for when I'm in the mood for casual sushi!

    Sushi Sandwich
    Celena C.

    Great service. Very friendly staff. Attentive with water refilling and order details. One of the rolls we order was a salmon cucumber. When the rolls came, there came a salmon avocado roll instead of a salmon cucumber. When she introduced each roll, she said salmon cucumber from her memory whilst looking at the salmon avocado and caught that the roll was incorrect. I don't know if she would've remembered if it was busier (there were only 2 occupied tables when we visited), but that attentiveness and memory was impressive. The sushi itself wasn't bad. I wouldn't recommend the raw fish rolls, nigri, or sashimi because the spicy yellowtail roll and salmon cucumber roll were oddly tasteless. Usually there probably is some vinegar-y seasoning in sushi rice that I wouldn't even think to note, but the plain fish rolls were just so tasteless, unlike how the same rolls would taste at other places. The special rolls were good though, probably because they had more sauce. The dragon roll and rainbow rolls we got were good, although the rainbow roll did mostly taste like the snowcrab mayo mix filling, which I don't mind. The Sushi Sandwich Roll was very filling. It had a heavy mayo taste, and the texture was all mush. I feel like some crunch texture would've helped, maybe from some raw veggies. The amount feels like it was two rolls in one, so for the price it's great. I probably would get it again if I was really hungry! The sushi roll pieces were not small, and I like that the filling to rice ratio was like 80-20. I really appreciate them not using a ton of rice and not skimping on the filling. I also like that this place uses a crab and mayo mix in their rolls rather than just a stick of imitation crab. Most places in NYC / the East Coast I see just use an imitation cran stick. Overall, not a bad little sushi restaurant! The interior is cozy, and I'd love to return to try their many other rolls!

    Rainbow Roll Sex on the Beach Roll

    This spot is always going viral on social media for how affordable their sushi is and I finally paid them a visit and I agree the hype is real! I really enjoyed their sushi and I haven't seen a spot that has such a great price for crispy rice. Happy hour here is top notch and includes weekends too. I started with a Shirley Temple which was standard and $5. For happy hour bites, I got the Crispy Rice w. Spicy Tuna. Crispy Rice w. Spicy Salmon, and Pork Gyoza. The crispy rice bites are so flavorful and there are 6 in an order. $8 for that is insanely good. The gyoza dumplings were also juicy with a nice fried bottom. As for the sushi, the quality of fish they use is amazing and they don't skimp. The Kani Salad was fresh and the Rainbow Roll and Sex On The Beach Roll both had lots of filling and a good fish to rice ratio. I also tried their Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. Their tempura is classic and simple, with a nice side of white rice and comes with soup or salad. Service was good. The waiters kept coming to our table to ask if we needed anything or wanted to order more. It's also quite spacious inside. The sushi bar is towards the back and they have one restroom.

    Amazing spot for happy hour conveniently located near Penn station. Super friendly and quick service. I will definitely be returning!!

    A very solid neighborhood sushi restaurant in Murray Hill. Ordered the Hot Girl Roll ($17) and the Godzilla Roll ($16.50). Both were very solid, although I probably would have been fine with just ordering one or the other as I was super stuffed after consuming both. Would come back again in the future.

    Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna(6pcs)
    Serena X.

    Came here with a friend on a weekday evening, and didn't have to wait! Their happy hour drink and food deals are quite food. We got the spicy tuna crispy rice, which was a good portion but not my favorite crispy rice. The rice was very hard and a bit stale. For our mains, we shared the yellowtail jalapeño roll, salmon avocado, and tiger roll. The rice to fish ratio was CHEFS KISS - better than most fancier sushi places I've been. The flavors weren't anything too special, but great value. Highly recommend for a casual dinner! I also see they have good lunch deals, so I will be returning.

    Cute ceiling decor!

    Bit of a rough review I'm afraid. 5/5 decor, friendly staff and available tables at peak time on Friday night. Quick with the tap water which I appreciate 4/5 Only one bathroom but clean and sink outside so you don't spend as much time inside the bathroom. No towels or hand dryer I assume that's an oversight on a busy Friday night. 3/5 house salad is fine, miso soup is fine. Not good not bad just average 2/5 the sushi and sashimi were not good, they weren't actively gooey or rancid, but they were the worst non lethal sushi I've had. I have had sushi that was 1/5 I sent it back to the kitchen. this was just like eating rubbery air, zero taste, nothing good but again it wasn't rancid. If you can't do sushi, what kind of sushi restaurant are you ? 1/5 nothing this bad Overall going to give it a 3/5, the price was low for nyc sushi, maybe it's farmed? Maybe it's frozen? Maybe it's the worst cut, but it's filling and priced low and they sat us right away. $68 for 2 of us and that included a 20% tip. We did not finish the sushi or the sashimi, hopefully someone in the kitchen sent it to a good home.

    Sushi was pretty decent. Wife and I stopped by for a snack while we were in midtown NYC. Jimmy was amazing and super attentive. Appreciated his upbeat vibes and attention to our needs . Dimly lit and anime themed but I didn't mind.

    Loved the variety of options for the sushi available. The sushi was affordable and the protein to rice ratio was very commendable. The sandwich was also very innovative but delicious. The staff were very polite and food came in very quickly. The atmosphere very cozy, I was seated in a booth. Overall, great experience.

    Great service with amusing servers at Hamachi 34 in Murray Hill, Manhattan, NYC. Minutes walk from Herald Square and Penn Station. Happy hour daily till 7 pm. Got a Yuzu and Matcha IPA on the happy hour specials. I got the Sapporo and my friend got the yuzu. Sushi, tempura, seaweed salad was super filling.

    The Sweet Potato Tempura Roll was HORRIBLE

To drink, I had a Hot Organic Super Matcha Tea for 4.95. It was alright tea, and I wish teas were included in the price point, as otherwise, this place feels pretty traditional. In terms of food, I only ordered from the seasonal menu, so I'm not sure how the rest of the dishes are, but from what I had, I would go back for a light traditional meal. My appetizer was the Dashimaki Tamago/だし巻まき卵たま, or sweet savory omelet with daikon for $6.98. This came with three pieces along with a little dollop of grated radish. The pieces had a light sweetness to them along with a bit of savoriness. They were juicy and a bit bouncy while maintaining some softness. This was standard and good. My main dish was the $19.98 Beef Tan Tan Udon, or ground sirloin beef, spicy broth, baby bok choy, kikurage mushroom, scallions, and sesame seeds. While I have preferred udon from spots like Raku, the udon had a mild chew to it, and they were still good. The broth had a mix of sweetness and spiciness with a nice depth of flavor. The vegetables inside tasted fresh, and the meat added some richness. This was good as well. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to go here, but the food was good. If you're in the area and looking for no frills Japanese dining in a more comfortable atmosphere at pretty decent Midtown East prices, I would recommend this place.

I really enjoyed their niku udon. The broth was flavorful but not too salty.

We got the fish carpaccio to start and it was pretty good! It tasted like what I expected from the description. The miso soup was also good, not too salty and slightly different than your trusty takeout sushi spot. I got the dashi omelette and it was a little sweet and savory. It paired nicely with the radish. I got the cold, plum udon. Which was refreshing and a bit sour from the plums. The broth was sippable since it wasn't too salty. My friend got the mushroom cold soba and it came with mashed yam. This dish tasted more like what I was expecting since the sourness of my dish kinda was unexpected, but I still enjoyed it! My friend also got a drink and it was SO strong. I think they're serious about their drinks here I didn't see any mocktails or cocktails. They gave us black sesame ice cream on the house since her drinks came out later than expected, which was really nice! I'm not a black sesame fan, but this place's ice cream was good!

For every entree, you have the option of choosing set A (miso soup with pork and vegetable, potato salad, shredded cabbage) or set B (miso soup and shredded cabbage). There was nothing special about the vegetable and pork soup and potato salad so I would recommend set B.

Ankimo (Monkfish Liver): Super innovative and a total standout compared to other spots. Paired brilliantly with the ponzu-wasabi-soy combination.

Scallop Roll: Fresh with a great bounce to the texture. Karaage: Fried to perfection--super crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and paired with a delicious house-made mustard dipping sauce. Age Tofu: Super soft texture with a wonderfully balanced flavor profile. Takoyaki: Generously packed with octopus. The sauce was a bit heavy-handed, but if you love takoyaki sauce like I do, it hits the spot! Pork Katsu Curry: Crispy, perfectly fried pork chop balanced out seamlessly by the rice and rich curry sauce. Kurobuta Sausage: More of a casual bar-style bite that felt a little out of place next to the other refined dishes, but saved by that great house mustard. Black Sesame Ice-Cream & Fried Sweet Potato Dessert: We usually skip dessert when we order this much food, but this combination was an incredible, must-order finish to the night!
