The sushi is absolutely delicious. The workers are so nice and accommodating and always get my order right. The sushi chef is excellent and he always gives us a little piece of sushi for free. A great family owned sushi place and the sushi is absolutely delicious. Always fresh. read more

The place is under new management. Family business again, as I was told. Cause we were frequently using New City Sushi for over 20 years, the difference is easy to be seen: ALL the rolls are smaller and pretty bland... Sashimi pieces are uneven and really thin. The service is not bad, the young guy is really trying hard. Will give them one more chance, though there are 2 other good sushi places, just a walking distance from there read more

New City Sushi is a small tradition style Sushi bar/restaurant with an inviting atmosphere and service. A family run establishment with a single sushi chef that shows dedication in the meals he creates. Passing through the area I stopped in and requested an Omakase at the bar and was given a wonderful experience! The multi course Omakase featured some unique dishes such as Chuka Idako, fried Shishamo, Madai, Hotategai, Chutoro, Maine Uni and Chawanmushi. Overall this was a pleasant experience with a good atmosphere and tradition dishes you may not find at your typical sushi restaurant 6.8/10. read more

Great sushi with a loving family that owns the place. Always nice service and the food is fresh

Very nice people running the place and extensive menu at decent prices. The sushi cuts are uneven and some of the rolls are heavy handed on the sauces. Maybe better for quick takeout. read more

This place is excellent, the real deal. I picked up a few rolls for lunch today and the chef (presumably owner?) made me a spicy tuna hand roll while I waited. It was delicious! The yellowtail roll was so fresh and the eel hand roll was the best I've ever had. I can't wait to return and will definitely sit at the sushi bar next time. read more

This was a surprisingly underwhelming and disappointing experience. This place clearly has a strong reputation in the area, and that vibe was all over the establishment when I walked in to grab my lunch. Everyone was very nice, and the sushi chef behind the counter generously gave me a huge piece of a spicy tuna-dominant free sample. I'm willing to believe this could have just been an off day and/an anomaly, but in the moment it was just not good. I actually chose New City Sushi last week because it was National Cupcake Day and there was a neighboring establishment that seemed to be a viable destination to ring in this not-exactly-legit holiday. I work a little further north in Rockland so it's also difficult to find decent sushi that's not inexplicably being sold in a pizza place (I know. Mystifying.). This was probably a 15-minute drive or so, which is right around my limit for a lunchtime adventure. This was my first time going into New City, and while it was definitely a bit more chaotic than the area surrounding my office, it wasn't too hard to find some parking right down the street. From what I could tell, New City Sushi is one of several sushi establishments I've been to within the past few months that doesn't seem interested in reopening for dine-in in the wake of COVID. Certainly within their rights (and for what it's worth, my favorite sushi place, Kenko Sushi in Lincoln Park, NJ has not either), but given my experience here, it's hard not to wonder if the quality may have gone a little downhill as a result. As mentioned, I was provided with a free sample (always a nice touch), which was tasty. It was predictably a little spicy/flavorful but honestly is something I'd get on its own. Unfortunately though, it was the highlight of my meal. I ordered the MACS (which stands for mango, avocado, crab and shrimp tempura) Roll ($10) and Volcano Roll ($13.50). The presentation value was interesting; as you can see from the attached, the Volcano Roll was assembled in what looked to be a flower blossom pattern, with the primary contents of the roll in the middle. Intriguing idea, but it didn't really work. The actual rolls lining the outside were cut in a slant downwards to accommodate the interior, and as a result it was very difficult to actually scoop and keep the "blossom" toppings on the roll. Not sure what the thought process was beyond the initial presentation value. To add to that mild annoyance though, the roll was very bland, probably the worst volcano roll I've had to date. It just didn't have any flavor, and the overreliance on the crunch and rice overpowered everything else. It was also very dry, which is a bit unusual in my experience with this type of roll. Adding some soy/eel sauce, or maybe some kind of chipotle mayo drizzle could have gone a long way here. The MACS was equally disappointing although that was at least easier to eat. It tasted and looked like it had some soy sauce on it, but this was also just as bland as the Volcano. I'm a big fan of mango inclusion in a sushi roll (there's a great one at Honshu in downtown JC), but the mango in this didn't have much of a taste and based on texture wasn't quite ripe yet. Again, this seems to be an almost universally acclaimed spot. I'm really not sure what happened here. The price point is really good, especially for special rolls, and the free sample I got WAS tasty. Hopefully they open up for seating because I would be willing to try them again in that capacity though I am going to cross them off my list for future lunchtime excursions. read more

New City Sushi - MACS roll and Volcano roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New City, New York

Still one of the best Japanese food spots in all of NY or NJ. Unique rolls that only Lim the owner makes. And the best Spicy salad in the area. Read all the other reviews. You have to try before you die. read more

I have been coming here almost my whole life. Ownership has now been switched and everything is thrown off kilter. The food has become mediocre, the place is a mess, and now their menu is limited. Their special combos are now lunch only. This is a complete shame. The service had just gotten slower and overall it's not worth it anymore. Find a different place, Kobe or Kumo nearby are now just better. It used to be the other way around. Disappointing. read more

Decided to come here for lunch and I am glad I did. It is a small mom and pop place and super cute. Does not fit more than 17 people (according to the fire sign). I got the 8 piece sushi b special and added an Ikura sushi. The soup tastes authentic, does not taste powdery like some places. The salad has a slight kick to it but so yummy. Has little pieces of salmon in it and crab meat. The pieces of sushi were thick and fresh. I was stuffed and couldn't finish, had to leave 2 california rolls. Total came out to $23.30 (not including tip). I would definitely come back here. Might be my new fav sushi spot. I can see the place probably gets busy during the weekdays since the courts are around there. read more

Really enjoyed the food here! I got the Hwe Dup-Bap and thought it was a good amount of food for the money. It came with a miso soup and side of white rice. There was a generous amount of sashimi on it, that was all great quality. The owners were so kind and gave me a sample of sushi when I was picking up my order. Highly recommend! read more

I love coming here with my family. The owners are very sweet and accomodating. Their service is a solid A+. The fish is always fresh and their rice is so delicious. Sushi is perfected when the rice is good, so they know what they're doing here. This is one of the better sushi spots in the area so definitely check it out. read more

Delicious We saw they had a very high rating on Yelp with over a hundred reviews, and headed there this evening. We were not at all disappointed. It was a smaller and more basic place than I expected but not busy and we got a table without a wait. Their menu was reasonably comprehensive without being overly long, great for us sushi novices. One of the other customers chimed in to let us know the sushi here was the best around, an appreciated testimonial. I got a Boston Roll and Philly Roll, and found them both delicious. We were six, and all very much liked our food. Service was very good. It didn't take long at all for our food to be ready. We also got a couple of free items, which was also appreciated. I'll leave the claims of freshness, etc, to the other reviewers who likely have more experience with sushi. As for me, I liked what I tried, I think sushi is fun to eat, and we had a great time this evening. I am happy to join in the chorus of positive reviews. read more

My boyfriend and I went here the other day over the weekend for lunch since were were in the area. We love sushi and I was excited to see that this place has such great reviews. We stuck with the lunch specials and 1 special roll. I ordered the salmon mango roll and the spicy salmon which I really enjoyed. The spicy salmon actually had a good kick to it which I liked. My boyfriend got the spicy tuna and the kani tempura which he enjoyed. I tried the kani tempura and I really the crunchy kani with the mango. For the special roll, we ordered the salmon lover roll which was suggested by the waitress, which was also really good. Along with our order, they gave us the spicy salad and I was disappointed to say that it did not meet expectations. I saw how everybody raved about the salad but as soon as it was placed on our table, the smell from it was so off putting to me. It tasted okay, but I think there might have been something wrong with the sesame oil. I didnt want to take another bite, however my boyfriend enjoyed it so he finished it all. Next they gave us a random sample roll which I didnt catch what the waitress called it, but it was also really good. They also gave us a vanilla mochi as dessert. Overall, this sushi restaurant is really good and I would recommend coming here. Maybe the salad just had an off day. read more

This place has gone way downhill. Or used to be good before Covid but now they have old fishy fish, and poor quality Ingeedients overall. They also have the rolls be mainly rice while before they were generous with the fish. It is really unfortunate to see how much this place has gone down in quality. I have tried eating here several times the past year and all have been the same experience. I would not recommend it. read more

This was our second experience at New City Sushi after being away for two years.(just officially moved to the area) Everything we tried was delicious! We ordered the sushi/Sashami for two. The fish is so fresh! The miso soup was delicious, the spicy salad was delicious and they even threw in a probiotic dessert (I didn't try but my boyfriend said it tasted like mango yogurt) for dessert. The employees are so attentive and generous. Many people came in to pick up take out orders while we ate there. I'm sure we'll be back soon! read more

I hear this place may get shut down for health violations. So I wanted to share my experience. I've ordered here many times, I gave them an amazing review 3 years ago. Over the past year, I've ordered a few times and it has been disgusting. Fish was fishy - salmon, tuna and yellowtail in particular - and the crab was also fishy somehow. The other rolls, volcano, macs roll and miso nara roll were bland with a bad fish flavor. Kani salad is not what you think, don't order it. Even california roll was mostly rice and the avocado is brown. read more

I'm happy to report that Lim, at New City Sushi, is still rocking. Stopped by last evening for an impromptu feast. His warmth and generosity is the icing on the insanely fresh and delicious sushi perfection. 21 years ago we dined with Lim at Hinode in Piermont, NY, the group picture here. Today, this 1997 photo is on the wall in his New City Sushi restaurant. Lim is the best there is, here displaying his perfectly plated sushi from last night. read more

Of the sushi places I have tried in town this is far and away the best option when it comes to the quality of food. This is more of a place for "takeout", but if looking for good sushi it's a good option for New City. read more

Service service service. This is my go to sushi spot in the area now! Owned by two super friendly Korean couple. The food is above average (they are mot skimpy on the sashimi) and prices are on par with regular sushi spots. Which in turn means more food for same price! Lastly, just a reminder from the top, service here was amazing and can't imagine it being any better. The interior is nice and small which is all I can say on that. Location is nice (a few coffee spots, cupcakes, ice cream) are all nearby for dessert. read more

I was looking to pick up a few sushi rolls for dinner. I've been meaning to try this place for awhile. Today was the day, we went in at dinner opening time 5:00pm. The people were so friendly, we ordered and were on our way very quickly. The food was fresh (spicy tuna rolls & a California roll. We ordered some vegetable Tempura and it was fresh and crispy. It was coated with more of a crispy panko, very tasty. We will be back. read more

There are so many places in Rockland offering sushi that it can get quite difficult to really choose one, but let me tell you that you will not go wrong with New City Sushi! This place really knows what it is doing! My best friend and I came here to try it out based on the reviews and we were not disappointed in the least. To be honest, from moment one it became our favorite spot in all of Rockland! First off, THEY GIVE FREE SAMPLES!! We got a spicy salad for free with our appetizers, a sample of veggie tempura sushi when we were eating the main course, and finally, they ended the day off on a great note by giving us a little mochi ice cream. AGAIN, ALL OF THIS WAS FREE! But okay, let me calm down a bit and talk about what we had to pay for. I ordered a miso soup and my best friend ordered a seaweed salad to start. The miso soup was amazing and even though I didn't get to try the seaweed salad, I could tell it was great just from my best friends reaction. After appetizers, we ordered our sushi. They had something that really surprised me. They had Ikura, or red caviar, sushi! I mean, yes it was a la carte, but you know I had to order it. I've been searching for that particular sushi for the longest time and I finally found a place that offered it. On top of that, I got the S. Dragon roll. Both of these orders were amazing. The fish was fresh, tasty, and practically melted in your mouth. And the other ingredients didn't take away from the fish. If you are ever in the area and in need of a sushi fix, please please PLEASE, try this place out. You will not be disappointed! read more

Very wonderful customer service. The owners are very nice to me and my family. The food is delicious. I recommend the Macs Roll!

All time sushi restaurant in the planet. Staff is very friendly and restaurant is small. They have a huge take Our business. No matter when the sushi chef always hands you a snack while you are waiting for your food and they truly appreciate every customer. You are doing it wrong if you don't get a spicy salad which is their speciality as well as a firecracker roll which is spicy crunchy crab inside topped with spicy tuna. You won't regret it. read more

One of the Freshest Sushi I've ever eaten!.. The Lobster Salad Roll is a must try! I ordered the Tempura Udon and it was delicious!

The Salad comes with Fresh Tuna & Salmon Sashimi in their special dressing! A must try! These reviews aren't lying :) read more
