I only learned about Joji Box because one of the partners at work orders from them and had trouble getting to the website. In helping him troubleshoot the block, I learned of this amazing take out sushi that is unlike any other take out I've had before. We went for the Joji Box 1 and I wasn't sure what to expect but wow. This little box of goodness rivals some omakases I've had in person. The fish was fresh, and the rice was perfect temperature without falling apart. Even the box felt like it was a high end gift box. Everything is tucked away in this box: chopsticks, napkins, sauce dishes, fresh real wasabi, and even soy sauce from a tiny bottle. What a treat. Also their spicy tuna is easily one of the best I've had in recent years. Just wow. read more

TLDR: Fancy sushi to go. Definitely on the pricier side but quality of toppings are premium, the packaging is sexy and the most important part of quality sushi is top notch. The rice. I'd splurge on it if you want to treat yourself to a good "to go" lunch or dinner. Definitely do so if you have corporate meal allowance. I was always curios about Joji Box but it' s not cheap - so like many I wondered if it was worth it. Eventually took one for the team. The first time I got the omakase box I didn't love having to sauce/wasabi it myself but I think that's just being picky. The last time I got the omaakase box, the omakase chirashi and the maki flight. The omakase box is a good assortment with a shimi, salad, two maki rolls and 10 nigiri. The pieces vary with premium ingredients like kinmedai, ikura, uni, toro, etc. It's costly at $62 but I think you get what you pay for. The chirashi had a variety of sashimi, lots of ikura and plenty of sushi rice. It's very good but for $50 I'd rather kick in more $ for the omakase. Maki Flight is great, $21 for a sampling of their three best rolls. It's 12 pieces total but they're nice size with a good amount of filling. If you're looking to treat yourself for lunch or maybe a nicer dinner takeaway - solid choice. I'm convinced enough that I'll try Joji for real one night. read more

This is the Omakase Box -- $68, came to $90 delivered. 10 pieces of nigiri, 3 horse mackerel sashimi, half toro roll, half snow crab roll, tiny seaweed salad. No toro in the nigiri. No real premium cuts besides uni. And I'm not kidding -- coldest sushi I've ever had. Like fridge cold. For this price? Come on. Pretty box, but mid sushi. Rolls were solid, nigiri was fine size-wise, but when Sugarfish's Trust Me is just a bit more, this feels like a ripoff. Joji Box gets a D. Never again.

They say we "eat with our eyes first," so I was happy when my wife opened this beautiful box to reveal a thoughtful presentation inside - even when delivered. I ordered JoJi box for my wife after giving birth to our daughter. Beyond the presentation, the sushi itself was delicious, and my wife was really happy with its quality. JoJi Box was definitely an excellent first Sushi meal postpartum for a new mom. read more

JoJi Box - Beautifully presented even when delivered. - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Quick and fast, so long as they have boxes on standby For what you're getting it's a great deal for the omakase box. 2 rolls (minced toro, and kani), 8 sushi pieces (salmon, akami, chutoro, mackerel, snapper, and a couple other white fish), ikura, uni, and salmon sashimi. All great quality. The caveat is the amount of rice. That being said, we were def full after. It was a little difficult to find because I was expecting it to be in the main concourse area or food court. Instead it's at one of the exits staircases. read more

It's a sushi box but it's a good-quality one. It's also not expensive. It's for to go but the service is amazing. Its location is perfect when you're off the train at the Grand Central Station or when you come down from visiting the Summit. Highly recommend! read more

Good taste, high quality fish but the service is TERRIBLE. The cashier/front desk lady could not be more unbothered. The wait time I'm for your food is also insanely long - it took 30 minutes for a Chirashi box when no one else was waiting.... Literally go only if you have time and patience read more

Things went downhill First time ordered delivery was pretty good, so i recommended to others. Ordered second time for co workers. disappointment. Fish was ok, just not amazing. Sushi rice was too cold and felt like they are in super market fridge for a while. I felt like i ordered from a fake/ grocery store sushi to go spot. Feel bad telling people in my office this is a Michelin star to-go spot. I think they took influencers and Michelin star for granted, and gave up on quality after a while. Price is decent, packaging is cute. That's the only good thing left. Do not recommend for real sushi, no longer Michelin graded spot. Side note: very tricky spot if you pick up in person, they are not located on the ground floor if you used Google map, but located right at subway entrance level. read more

I came here to grab a to-go box before getting on the train. Service was fine. Boxes were premade and sitting in a fridge. I think it was $23 for 4 maki pieces and 4 nigiri. It was too cold to eat right away but after letting it sit for a bit, it was great. Rice seasoning and texture were just right for me and fish was tasty. I would come back. read more

JoJi Box is inside the world famous Grand Central Train Station. And it may explain why their packaging is so sturdy and functional, not to mention it is elegant looking. All these are meant for protecting the content when you take it on the train; and it inherently has added to the price you paid. But then again, who wants to have dismantled sushi roll at meal time. Food quality is very good and quite a few choices to please most clients. It is not overlly expensive but not cheap either. Occasionally there is a line during rush hours, but service is faily quick. Will definitly patronize again when I am at Grand Central and the sushi craving hits. Enjoy ... read more

This sushi takeout spot is a bit hidden. Location: underneath the staircase of 1 Vanderbilt on Vanderbilt and 41 St. If you don't know where that is, look for the Summit retail store. If you are coming from Grand Central concourse, look for Firefly Flowers and go through the double doors About the restaurant: sushi takeout place by Chef Daniel Boulud and the team. The options are omakase, chirashi, combo, flights (4 Nigiri and 4 maki roll pieces), and a la carte. My order: Salmon Flights - 4 piece salmon nigiri and 1/2 salmon avocado maki roll. The fish was fresh. The price is a bit pricey for the amount of food you received, also it's located at Grand Central and they make it fresh (I waited for my order to be made). The presentation is a high quality box. From reading the other reviews, you might want to order and wait so you can get your order right as there are busy times. Enjoy! read more

To say this place is tucked away is an understatement. I was misdirected by a Grand Central Terminal employee lol. I'm not even gonna try to offer directions on how to find it. There's no sign of food in the storefront, so it's not like you'll notice it unless you see the sign of their name. Idk where the sushi is made and I'm not asking questions. It feels like a top secret situation. Anyway, I got the Joji Box 2. Definitely beautiful presentation. The sushi was good quality. However, I wasn't blown away. I'm glad I finally tried it but don't see myself returning. Not because it's bad, just because there's better. Pro tips: - Best to order ahead on their website. The wait time was 30-35 mins around lunchtime - Plan ahead on where you will eat this. There are two bar top tables outside their store, but no stool. This is also the situation in the general seating area of the dining concourse in GCT. There are only a handful of tables with chairs. Principally, I refused to pay $50+ for lunch and eat it standing up. It's honestly quite asinine that they wouldn't keep a few stools outside their own store. It's time for Grand Central to put the chairs back too! - When the weather gets nice, pick up and walk over to Bryant to enjoy would be my advice. read more

Ordered the omakase box, which had a wait time of about an hour. Arrived at the time of pick up and it was not ready, had to wait another 10 minutes. The nigiri were okay but honestly I don't think the fish or even the rice was very fresh, even though the boxes are made to order. The rice was a bit too hard and dry, which is why I say it's not fresh. The tuna pieces in particular were too fishy. The portion is good for lunch. The presentation is nice, but I'd like something that can be recycled - this box most obviously is not just cardboard or paper, and cannot be recycled. read more

We pre-ordered online for a night in, and what a disaster! They took way too many orders than they could handle, and as a result, our order was hours behind the pickup time. After an hour of waiting, we were lucky to get someone else's abandoned order, which obviously did not contain the boxes we had originally wanted. The food itself was solid but spectacular, and certainly not worth the hassle. read more

I've been getting Joji Box delivered lately but I have to say I'm over it. One delivery never came..delivery guy fail Delivery time has shortened which is good. The thing is the quality of the sushi. I'm used to eating at the sushi bar and getting my food freshly prepared. Clearly this sushi is made and then sit for 45 minutes during handling. And I am a ten minute walk from Jōji. Moving forward I'll just order from sushi Ryusei or see if Yasuda will make a box for me. read more

Small counter in Grand Central station! Almost missed it, it's at 1 Vanderbilt down the stairs right at the end of the flight. I came 30 min before closing on a week night, so there were limited options since they were closing. I got a salmon flight, which I was happy with instead of the tuna flight and paid $25. Delightful packaging and delicious box! The person working there was friendly and I didn't have to wait for my order, the boxes were ready to go. They have a lot of different drinks. There are a few high tables to stand, but I took my box to go. Would be great to try more next time! read more

Ordered: Maki Flight (~$20): Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado and Negi Toro rolls Aya's take: Michelin sushi for ~$20? Yes please! Joji Box is the takeout version of Joji, the Michelin star restaurant and Chef Daniel Boulud. It's located on the bottom floor of One Vanderbilt, really hard to miss so be on the look out for the building and signage. I was a bit hesitant as this box was already ready when I arrived and ordered. The worker told me it was made within the hour. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and freshness. The Maki Flight was absolutely perfect! These 3 rolls are honestly what I would normally order and it makes sense why they're the best-sellers. I couldn't tell which one I liked the most. All three were honestly phenomenal. I also love the attention to detail with the packaging. From the tiny bottle of soy sauce and tray to the napkin and chopsticks tucked on the side to the box itself. Everything was absolutely practical and also luxurious! I would absolutely come back for a quick lunch if I'm in the area and highly recommend you give it a try too! read more

Phenomenal Food, Easy to pick up and find the restaurant. The employees were helpful and food was the best sushi in the city

I entered 1 Vanderbilt building through the wrong entrance the security staff was not friendly but told me I needed to go in from the other side. I ordered ahead and by the time I found the pick up area, the food was ready. The sushi/nigiri were packed in these beautiful boxes. The fish were high quality very delicious sushi and nigiri, I would get them again!! read more

I love Joji box! It's a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it. I often order it for lunch while at work, always placing my order in advance through the Toast app. My go-to is the omakase box--it's incredibly fresh! Plus, if you work in the building, you get a 10% discount! :) read more

The presentation and freshness is 5/5 for sure. The box it comes in is clearly custom to Joji, and it's so sturdy I always feel bad for throwing it away. The quality of the ginger and fish is superb, and the little soy sauce bottle is too addorable. During lunch, they have boxes ready to go, so it's a very quick grab and go lunch. If you'd like a substitution, they make it fresh so it could take 15-20 minutes, perhaps call and order ahead. I only took a star off because there's nothing specifically special about Joji. It's high quality sushi, but I've had better sushi for not that much more expensive. With that sad, will I be back? 110%. Also FYI there is no seating at the restaurant, but the food is perfect for taking back into the office or to Bryant Park! read more

Good price for the boxes here. Tried various box types. Fish was OK - had a stronger "sea" taste with the takeout, and it took nearly 30 minutes to get the food (stood around for 20 minutes yet placed the order way in advance). Portion value to price is good. Not the freshest I've had, but that could be because of take out. Will try the restaurant next time. read more

Rice was disappointing. Too salty, not balanced out by enough sweetness or, secondarily, enough vinegar. Too bad, because otherwise I could see this becoming a regular spot. Pretty presentation, good quality fish. The ikura was prepared very well. Box was securely packed. Ordered ahead. Ready for pickup on time, despite peak weekday lunch rush hours. read more

A takeout place relate to the Michelin starred restaurant Joji. Ordered from Joji Box on Monday and liked it so much I went again yesterday! The quality of the sushi is great, and the prices aren't too bad for what you're getting, because it comes with a good amount of food. I got the Joji Box 1 on Monday and the Salmon Ikura Chirashi Box on Thursday -- both were great, but I preferred the Joji Box 1. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area! read more

My friends and I were on our way to the One Vanderbilt experience and randomly found this spot. They specialize in omakase boxes and everything looked so colorful and appetizing. We shared the Omakase Box which consisted of 10 pieces of chef's selection nigiri plus sashimi. Every piece was fresh and delicious. The manager was also nice enough to give us a tour of the back in which you have to make reservations for. It's a very small space with counter seating that you sit at while the chef makes the sushi. I recommend this place if you want to sit in or do takeout! read more

Good place to get boxed sushi, sashimi and chirashi. The presentation of the food inside the box.

Boring, flavourless and the wait was unacceptable. No spice to the spicy tuna, just very bland all around. We ordered 6 boxes and waited over 30 minutes. How hard is it, they only have like 4 different kinds of fish. Best thing about it is the cute box it comes in which probably taste better than the sushi. read more

I would most definitely recommend stopping by for an omakase bento or to dine in!! read more

For grab and go sushi the quality was extremely good, but also very overpriced. The local is literally a little room where you order your sushi and they hand you a premade box. I didn't love that I couldn't see the person making the sushi and that aspect turned me off. Also the box smelled a lot like fish which was not ideal for a work lunch. Another aspect which I didn't love was that one of the boxes we ordered was out of stock and we were left to wait in the room for 15 min. Overall it was yum, but not something to do everyday. read more

I rarely write reviews, much less for a takeaway spot but even for New York the service was abysmal. Ordered the Salmon flight and the worker told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait but ended up being a 25+ minute wait. The box had a seal so couldn't open it until we got home an hour later just for us to have gotten a completely incorrect, cheaper item. Made our way all the way back to get the correct item and the worker wouldn't even look at us, much less apologize while she called the restaurant to remake the correct order. Waited another to get the correct item, she takes the opened incorrect item, puts another seal on it and brings it back upstairs, still without an apology. Hard to jam-pack such terrible service into what should've been a quick grab-n-go but Joji Box managed to with some impressive disregard and "wanna leave work attitude" that would put a Walmart sushi counter to shame. read more

Love this sushi box concept as it's been all the rave lately! It's convenient, beautiful, and efficient for on the go New Yorkers. A friend and I stopped by and had to try a box. We loved the variety of fish and of nigiri/sushi you get. The kind cashier even treated us to an extra mini box so 10/10 for service! The packaging for both boxes was stunning and comes with utensils and soy sauce inside. Definitely a treat and was delicious, but not gonna be the best quality of sushi ever. Still so yummy and glad we tried! read more

This is a small storefront that gets inventory from the actual Joji restaurant upstairs. We came just at opening time for lunch so just had to wait about 5 minutes as they had to get more delivered to the store. Cashier was very nice. The food was pretty good and fresh, my cousin and I were happy with the omakase box. The fish tasted fresh and my cousin loved the uni which she said was melt in your mouth good. I wish they had a key to the sushi as I'm a newcomer to sushi and I don't like surprises Good option for sushi. read more
