I got the shrimp tempura and shrimp avocado rolls + a miso soup for $15 which is a great deal especially in this area. The place itself has a good amount of seating for solo eaters as well as friends, and it's a great spot for students. My rolls hit my sushi craving exactly where it had to be hit and I have no complaints about either of my rolls! I did have to wait around 20mins for my food which is not terrible, but for how the place is set up I would have expected slightly quicker service.

The first time I ordered it in April 2025 was not a pleasant experience. I ordered 2 party platters and the sushi came all jostled up, which was a shame because they were meant to be served at a party. We salvaged what we could and I didn't think much of it. I ordered again after Thanksgiving 2025, this time for a single party platter. The order was delivered in a car, which I think made all the difference. The platter came in very good condition and it revived my faith in them. That being said, somethings you should know before ordering. All rolls are 6pcs, which explains the cheaper price tag. Most of the tuna/yellowtail rolls were more fishy than what would be normally acceptable for me. I did order in the evening, which could have been a factor. They were still edible, but I don't think I'll order tuna or more freshness-sensitive fish meats from here. All rolls made with salmon were pretty good. I definitely would order a platter with salmon, eel and shrimp again. The party platter is definitely a good deal for delivery sushi. I recommend the party platter.

Takahachi on Avenue A has been a fixture of the East Village since 1990, and it remains exactly…read morewhat longtime fans want it to be: a reliable, no-frills neighborhood sushi spot that prioritizes freshness, value, and consistency over trends. Founded by Hiroyuki Takahashi and later sold in 2019 to longtime chef Jack Hlaing--who worked here for nearly two decades before taking ownership--the restaurant has retained its original spirit and operations. That continuity shows. On any given night, the room is packed with regulars who clearly treat this as their go-to local, not a special-occasion destination. The atmosphere is classic East Village: cozy, bustling, and unpretentious. It has a true hole-in-the-wall feel, anchored by a long sushi bar where you can watch the chefs work with quiet precision. It's lively and intimate, and there's often a wait--especially during peak hours--since they don't take reservations. The food is all about simplicity and purity. The sushi is vibrant, clean, and straightforward, letting quality ingredients speak for themselves. Nigiri, sashimi, and traditional rolls are consistently solid, with crowd favorites like the Skateboarder Roll. There's also a strong lineup of cooked dishes--eel, teriyaki, and comforting hot plates--as well as excellent appetizers like pepper tuna and shishito peppers. One of the best values here is the early bird special (typically around 5-7 PM), which offers a generous, multi-course meal at a very reasonable price. Overall, prices are affordable by New York City standards, especially given the authenticity and portion sizes. Service is friendly, fast, and attentive, with staff who clearly know many guests by name. It feels welcoming without being fussy. This is not the place for trendy omakase or a viral dining experience. Takahachi is about dependable, satisfying Japanese comfort food in a warm, busy neighborhood setting. If you're looking for a quintessential local sushi spot with great value and a loyal following, this is it.

Ordered spicy tuna, salmon avo, and yellowtail. These aren't the most generously-sized rolls, but for the price, with soup and salad, I was stoked.

It's really disappointing that such a high volume fish like salmon would have been served like this, but 2 stars because the price is so good that I'll probably try it again in six months or so.

Sushi on Jones holds a special memory for me, starting from my first visit to the al fresco Omakase…read morebar in Bowery market to my recent return during the pandemic to the West Village location. On a weeknight, my friends and I were fortunate to secure six sushi counter seats at the LES location. The service we received was friendly and prompt. They offered two omakase menus, one with 12 pieces for $68 and another with 20 pieces for $120. We could switch to the 20-piece menu towards the end of the 12 pieces if we were still hungry. Chef Jin sliced each fish with care to showcase its flavor, and each sushi piece was delicious. We spent over two hours at the restaurant, chatting with the chef, and watching how each piece was made. The LES's ambiance was very zen, with a large sushi counter and tables around the room. Highly recommended for any sushi lovers!

It's very small and doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's cute and homey once you step in. We came on a Tuesday at around 8:30, so it was fairly empty. I was kind of sad that their kitchen menu was a no go, so we opted to do the 12-course omakase instead. I'm genuinely SO glad we ended up doing that because the sushi was incredibly fresh. I can't believe that it was under $70 because each course came with a decent portion of fish and it was legit better than some omakases that I've paid over $100 or $200 for. I was wowed by every course. We sat at the bar, and Chef Jen and our server Ryan were SO kind. Literally made our experience a 10/10. We ended up staying for a bit just chatting it up with them, and the chef ended up making an extra crispy rice course for us. Truly one of the best omakase experiences ever, and I cannot wait to be back!
