Great sushi, cute place! A little loud went here on a date. The rolls are small which is a good portion size! Very simple and flavorful and they also had GF soy sauce! Pretty cheap too! read more

This hole in the wall was so cozy and perfect for date night! There's a big hibachi table at the back, where guys night out was in full swing. The were also playing good music! So it can be whatever vibe you make it. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef gave us complimentary salmon belly! My new favorite sushi spot in the city. The service was great, the sushi very fresh and full of flavor. read more

This place is fantastic!!! For the quality of food you could just as well be in a high end sushi place uptown for 3x the cost. They use fresh ingredients and everything always tastes great. The LADY GAGA roll is simply amazing!! All their special rolls are. read more

I stop by here from time to time when I am in the neighborhood. A dependable spot, for sure. I have recently discovered a hidden gem in their menu: the Dragon Ball. It's like getting a sushi ice cream scoop before the main meal, like dessert before the entree. I highly recommend it & this place! read more

Great food and service I loved that they have brown rice as an option :) location is great as well.

Went here for my birthday last night and the service and food were amazing. Everything was super delicious and the staff was so nice to us! Thank you again to the staff who took care of us! read more

Wonderful meal with one of the most extensive menus I've seen in a long time. Will definitely be going back soon. read more

Okinii - Sushi dinner! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Hands down the best sushi spot in the city. I ordered from them today from Grubhub and the driver dropped my order off at the wrong location and refused to come and get it. The restaurant was kind enough to remake my order and get it to me quickly, along with writing an apology on the receipt and compensated me with a soda even though it wasn't their fault. They have it all! The great food, kind staff, and perfect service. Highly recommend this place! Thank you for turning the experience around for me :) read more

I've been getting sushi from here since I moved to NYC, the quality and their rolls are fantastic. It's more on the quiet side and is hardly ever full but that is a plus for me. they have a good selection of sakes and the servers are attentive read more

The restaurant is a little dark and a bit quiet, but so worth it. We came here twice to get the ramen since it was our favorite after trying it at 3 other spots. Service was attentive and helpful. read more

This is a great place to get lunch for a reasonable price around NYU! The menu is extensive, and I usually get the lunch/bento box with shumai, rice, California roll, soup, salad, and your choice of tempura or katsu or teriyaki. It's super filling and only $10.95! The waiter even gave us a shot of warm sake each after our meal--never had this at any other Japanese restaurant in the city! read more

Eh... this place was alright. My dad and I visit NYC a few times a year to do our two favorite things- eat good food and shop. I've been set on finding a good Japanese restaurant so we decided to come here for dinner. The food was ok, nothing special. But, I don't come to NYC to have food that's "ok". I will say I have high expectations but the service was great at least. This will not be a restaurant we will be returning to in the future but it was satisfying for the time being. read more

Steve is my king - absolutely worth going for hibachi. Very fun, friendly, and delicious. 5 stars!

I'm rounding up from 3.5 stars because this place is a GREAT value for what it provides: a quick, cheap meal near campus. I came here with two girlfriends for an early dinner, and we paid $20pp with tip and tax. Granted, we didn't order TOO much but we were amazed by the value of our meal. We got the kimchee fried rice with bacon and a bunch of sushi rolls to share (salmon, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, eel avocado, etc) and left feeling super full. The food wasn't anything spectacular but the rice dish was pretty decent - flavorful and tasted like REAL kimchee. The rolls were OK - neither the freshest or best I've had, but again, the key here is value. Great service, decent quality food, and AMAZING value. Perfect for a quick meal if you're in a rush before class. read more

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Very enjoyable experience for dinner on a Tuesday night. We were seated quickly and offered sake. We chose the house sake which was hot. Very delicious and would recommend. We ordered about half a dozen rolls to share. All of them were delicious and the portions were generous. The presentation of the sushi rolls was also very nice. Very much appreciated as I think appearances are important too. Overall very nice experience and very good service. Would recommend if you're looking for some decent, reasonably-priced sushi. read more

This place is perfect, it was my first time eating sushi by myself. But it was an unique experience. I sat by the counter and the two gentlemen behind the sushi bar were super friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and the ramen soup. No regrets, it was delicious. The prices are very affordable and the food is great. read more

I ordered the filet mignon hibachi with fried rice. The food was good, no complain there. But the checkout process left a bad taste. They bring a POS machine right to your table and stand right next to you as you choose a pre-set tip option (minimum 18%), which feels uncomfortable and a bit pushy. Plus, the tax is included in the subtotal, meaning you're essentially tipping on the tax as well. This feels like a bit of a scam and really takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Not sure I'd return given this experience. read more

We were looking for a sushi restaurant and found the place on Yelp. Made a reservation just in case When we arrived, it was pretty empty. They did have our reservation and was seated right away. A lot of different rolls on the menu caught our eye We ordered the salmon skin salad. Wonderful! Crunchy skin and a good portion! We ordered two rolls. The Okinii roll was a CA roll topped with salmon and avocado and then topped with mango. The combo of flavors was so refreshing. The other rolls was the Fuji Dragon with soft shell crab, avocado and eel. This was pretty awesome as well. Both rolls were generous in size. The only thing that bugged me a bit was that the restaurant was owned by Chinese instead of Japanese. It seems to be a rarity nowadays for some reason. Our Malaysian waiter was very friendly. We talked to him at length about being an immigrant in NY and trying to make a living. Would definitely return to try other rolls! read more

I'm a fan of Japanese and sushi in particular; therefore, I was excited to try this place. I was surprised that it felt more like a bit everything on the menu and there was a fishy scent. I did really like the sushi rolls with soy paper options and the traditional rolls. The rolls were very creative and had 8 pieces each, but they were very covered in sauce. I wasn't comfortable trying true sashimi or something experimental. I tried their sashimi roll in soy paper which was a good experience. read more

Pretty awful experience. Came here because every other place was full on a Friday night. After perusing the takeout menu converted into a restaurant menu and viewing the multiple empty seats, I knew this dinner was not going to turn out well. I was not mistaken. We ordered the unagi don and the spicy roll combo. The freshwater eel was not long and wide like I'm used to. Instead, small pieces of unagi were placed on top of rice, failing to give me the satisfaction I would normally get from my fork separating a thick buttery fish. The cucumber on the unagi don plate was extremely bitter and the avocado and seaweed were added to just fill up the plate. The spicy roll combo, however, was worse. The salmon and tuna didn't have any flavor, but they weren't as bad as the spicy yellowtail roll, which straight up tasted foul. The fish tasted so spoiled that we couldn't have more than one piece of the roll. When we informed our server that the yellowtail did not taste fresh, he indicated that he asked the kitchen to ensure it is and told us he would give us a $5 discount because we left half of our meal on the plate. Not that we would have expected to be compensated for that dish, but getting $5 taken off from our bill like it was some promotion looked silly to me. The prices are reasonable and almost cheap in the West 4th area. I had mixed feelings about the customer service due to our experience, but at least the servers did bring the dishes and the check quickly. Sushi, though, needs some work. I won't be coming back. read more

There is not a bad thing to say about this place. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The presentation was beautiful. And the service was by far the best I've ever had anywhere else. This place clearly cares about giving a good experience. Not only with top quality food, but top quality service. Next time I'm in NYC. I'm coming back. read more

Wandered in here randomly and have to say I was very impressed. Obviously not gourmet sushi or anything but the prices are set so you can throw down 4 or 5 rolls after a few beers. We got the sushi pizza which was really fun. Server was super cool and had a great experience. Will go back next time I hit Bleecker! read more

Came here after work on a Monday during prime dinner time and it was pretty empty which makes it a good place for a last minute dinner with a large group. There's sushi and cooked hibachi entrees if there's anyone in your party that doesn't eat sushi. There are some tables with hibachi grills if you want to see the "show" kind of thing but we didn't do that. Service was quick and attentive. Would come back again! read more

Wow is all I gotta say!! We stumbled upon this restaurant and I could not recommend it more. The service, food, and ambiance was impeccable. If you're debating on whether or not to eat here...do it. read more

It's possible that I got a contact high walking through Washington Square Park on my way, but the sushi here is damn delicious. I mainly ordered traditional items but did get one of their specialty rolls... the Fuji Dragon roll with deep fried soft shell crab and avocado on the inside and freshwater eel on the outside. Oh yeah, that one hit the spot. The decor and the staff were both fantastic. Great experience all around. read more

Came on a date night on a Friday and really loved this place. The ambiance of the restaurant felt very intimate and you honestly forgot you were in the city. The music starting turning livelier when it got later in the evening and it got a bit more crowded which I loved how they fit the vibe of the room. The staff was so friendly and the food came out very fast - and it was delicious. I would 100% come back if in the area. read more

Loved the food and the service was excellent! Enjoyed the 18-piece sashimi, several individual pieces of sushi and a spider roll. Food really was artistically created and presented. Will come again! read more

I came around 3:45 on a Wednesday so obviously it was super slow, but the service was great and the sushi was amazing. I think if they added crunch to the Thompson Roll, they'd have ambrosia on their hands. Also, the music is very 2010s hits which I happen to love when I'm at a restaurant. Great experience! read more

Asians, please don't come here. This is an American Japanese place. When I walked in there were 0 Asian faces and I knew it's gonna be bad. The food is cheaper than average Japanese restaurants, but it's not authentic at all read more

Amazing staff, they care about their customers. They check on you to make sure everything is alright. This restaurant is in a great area next to Washington square park.

The food is amazing, please go try it for yourself read more

Affordable. Fresh ingredients. Wide variety of dishes. I love coming here because I've been trying to eat healthier. And though I love sushi I hate feeling overly stuffed after 3 rolls. I've been looking for a sushi place that serves rolls in thinly sliced cucumber - properly known as Naruto Rolls. Most places don't offer this or if so they only serve the Rainbow Naruto Roll. That's until I came across this place! Okinii offers about 4-5 different kinds of Naruto Rolls! They also have other healthy options like soy paper roll or subbing the rice for brown or black rice. I'm so thrilled to have healthier options. They also have uni and oysters if you're into that!! I love uni so that's a plus for me! Their green tea is also on point. The right drinking temperature all the time. I would totally come back and bring my other friends! Apps I've tried so far: - Kani Salad - Shrimp Tempura with veggies - *Salmon Flower Rolls I've tried so far: - Spicy Salmon Roll - Spicy Tuna - Yellowtail Scallion - Spider Roll - *Pink Lady - *Lady Gaga - *Naruto Roll #D * = recommend Looking forward to other dishes next time around read more

When we walked in, we didn't know what to expect, because the place was pretty empty. But overall, we had a really good time, and the service was impeccable. We were recommended a sake which was amazingly smooth and easygoing, and we ordered the sushi love boat for two. It came with sashimi cuts, 2 rolls (we were able to switch out the eel since my partner does not like eel), and 8 nigiri as well. The sashimi was pretty fresh--although I wasn't a fan of the tuna (I usually am not) as it was still on the fishy side. The rolls were not wrapped tight enough, as many of them fell apart when picking them up. read more

Pretty good sushi and a WIDE EXTENSIVE menu (kind of reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory). Even though it's in Soho, it's not too crowded which is nice so it's easy to get a table. It's also a pretty large venue. Service is satisfactory. We got seated and served quickly. Our waiter also made sure to come back and check up on us. I got the spicy girl and Philadelphia rolls. Both were fresh and tasted great. The presentation was very beautiful! Hope to return to try more of the menu! read more
