    Outside of the restaurant

    This restaurant is the perfect casual sushi dining spot. The staff are super friendly! The space is snug but if you come expecting a laid back intimate experience you won't be disappointed. Came here with my wife and we got a sushi sashimi platter plus beef udon noodles plus crispy rice (all delicious and filling) and a round of lemonades for just over $60! In this neighborhood that's a steal! We'll be back!!

    9. Salmon Tar Tar
    Megan L.

    I love this place so much! a cute spot that isn't too busy and has super cheap, yet delicious and high-quality food! I've been 2x and have been treated very nicely by the waitresses every time and seated immediately. The food comes out fairly quick, the place is a hole in the wall vibe but a very cozy interior. Japanese food is so expensive in New York City and this place is so affordable and literally slaps. If you're looking for expensive, high end Japanese food, you could find that elsewhere, but this place is just perfect comfort food. Very nice quality, presentation, and everything just tastes super good. I tried the lobster tartar and it was my favorite thing that I ordered. And it came with so much avocado and lettuce. My friend and I literally cleaned the plate. I also got Unagi bowl which comes with a fair amount of rice and eel. It tasted perfect! Sake is super cheap and I tried it for the first time here! Super nice! my friend got a scallop sushi roll, which had the most tender scallop ever. She also got another sushi and their fish and sashimi is really . I really recommend this place! Cute place to have a dinner or lunch with your friend.

    Very rude and poor customer service. Kicked us out for wanting to sit down and try the food before leaving. Missed out on potential money, because we could've bought more.

    My go to lunch spot. Always quick, easy and great food. Today I had crispy rice, tuna and avo rolls - 10/10

    Amazing and delicious food, sushi are prefect Sashimi are fresh Waiter not ask to much questions so service is great and fast! Atmosphere and ambiance is friendly and you can chill and enjoy! I recommend it

    I've been here several times and it never disappoints. There's never a long wait, and the sushi is always very fresh, making it a great local spot. I often order the Sushi Deluxe, Salmon Boy Set, Eel Boy Set, Spicy Scallop, Avocado Roll, and Eel Avocado Roll. Everything is consistently fresh and delicious! The only thing is that I don't really like tuna as it's a little too fishy for me.

    21. Sushi for 2
    Joyce C.

    Ordered the platter for two with 10 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi, and two rolls, all chef's choice. I got takeout and they came 30 minutes early so I really appreciate that since I was already pretty hungry. The sashimi was decently fresh, which is something I may order again. As a person who also does not like california rolls, I was decently surprised by theirs just because of how creamy the avocado was. One thing that I noticed was that the sashimi and nigiri seemed to have different quality of fish. It seemed like the nigiri was lower quality/did not taste as good as the sashimi. Some of the fish was tough and the tuna nigiri tasted extra fishy (and not in a good way). Overall it was decent for the price that you pay, and I would order again if I just wanted to get sashimi or their rolls.

    Miso and salad

    Great hole in the wall spot. Service was fast and the food was good - especially for being so cheap. They have great lunch specials.

    Salmon Teriyaki lunch.
    Jennifer N.

    The lunch specials are very good value. Salmon Teri lunch- doesn't come with soup, but very good for $9. We had to order one additional lunch which was two roll lunch ($11.75) that came with soup and salad. Guess we were very hungry. Overall, I would come here again.

    sake
    Jessica W.

    Went here for my birthday and enjoyed my experience at this restaurant! Started off with some sake and miso soup, which tasted exactly how they should. Then I decided to get the Natto Ika, it was something new, and it was alright. Not a fan of natto but that's just personal preference, since it has a strong fermented alcohol taste. The chicken udon and sashimi were delicious though. The wait staff checked for vaccination and ID, and they were very attentive to us.

    Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box
    Jatin A.

    I'd give the place 3.5 stars if I could, because it's just affordable and satisfactory enough to be better than a 3, but not really remarkable to warrant a 4. Ultimately, I think a 4 is a kinder, more accurate rating than a 3 is. The sushi roll (spicy Maki Combo) was a bit ordinary, and we have had much better, but at the same, it is absolutely value for money, as is the bento box. The bento box featured California rolls that disintegrated easily, but nonetheless they were satisfactory. I liked the salmon teriyaki and the shumai. The beef Udon has some nice beef slices, and makes for a filling dish.

    confused by the bad reviews. ordered several rolls for takeout and everything was absolutely delicious and fresh

    Mango Tango
    Sharon T.

    This place is a hole-in-the-wall, hidden secret. Probably one of the best sushi joints I've been to in Manhattan. This is not one of those modern-upbeat-dark-club-lookalike hangout spots for sushi. It's a traditional small Japanese sushi bar. I'm still in awe that there aren't as many reviews about this place as I expected. Maybe because everyone's into those moderate and dark sushi hangout spots? Beats me. The Fancy Dragon was delicious. Shrimp tempura with fresh eel and avocado? It doesn't get any better than that. Super delectable. The Mango Tango was also as amazing. Lots of mango on top and on the inside, tobiko and shrimp tempura. This place seriously has the ideal rolls everyone dreams of in their rolls, at least in my dreams. Also had the sushi regular and the raw fish sushis were delicate. They were made with fresh fish, and the california rolls are a bit longer than average, but at least the sushi do not taste like the dried rolls other sushi joints have. Of the many sushi joints I've been to, Mikaku is officially on my 'regular to-go to' places. A lot of these sushi places out there are fine, but not everyone can make sushi that well. If you add a little integrity into making it, that's all it takes. The service was great, but the waitress was pretty much inactive since there was barely anyone but us. I don't blame her. I would be in the back room and go on Facebook as well.

    I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

    Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

    After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

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

It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here!

    This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve…read morefood, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
