    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious and fresh sushi! Ordered online and it was ready for pickup at the promised time even though they were pretty busy. Cool looking place as well! I forgot to take a picture of the sushi I was so hungry...

    The Sweet Potato Tempura Roll was HORRIBLE
    Yueer L.

    The decoration was amazing and the service is good so I honestly feel bad for leaving this review however I was SO DISAPPOINTED with the food. I can swear I've never eaten such a bad sweet potato roll before ever. The sweet potato was literally HARD TO CHEW like it was NOT FULLY COOKED and the sushi was literally ice cold. This is also the first time I am so certain a food is not fresh. I've never left a bad review for restaurants EVER before so trust me I was really shocked. The ambiance was very relaxing too but the food was just so bad. I was STARVING and I still couldn't enjoy it at the slightest.

    Dude this place has THE BEST sushi that I had ever had. The ambience of this restaurant is really cool too, really comfortable for sure. My waitress was extremely pleasant, she was funny and overall just a wonderful experience. Their shrimp tempura rocks hard!

    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.

    Alan T.

    I really like the sushi here and the interior of the place! It's located in Midtown but towards Kips Bay so not as much foot traffic there. The interior is really well decorated but still gave a cozy atmosphere. Just like the interior, I also like how the sushi was presented! I got their sushi sandwich, sexy on the beach, and tiger roll.

    price - $87 per person pre tax…read more food - 5/5 service - 5/5 ambiance - 5/5 I got the chance to try out Sanyuu West for my birthday and I had such an amazing time! from the moment I stepped into the restaurant, the waiters were super sweet and attentive to my friend and I. the courses kept coming out and each piece was super tender and bursting with flavor! my favorite was definitely the uni, toro, and wagyu on milk bread course! I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!! (props to them) the ambiance inside was also super calm and vibey. overall, I had such an amazing time and I would love to go again soon

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.
