Super photogenic bowl and great portion for the price. The uni was surprisingly super fresh and sweet but the tuna and ikura was a little fishy so that came out with every bite. I prefer my sushi rice a little sweet than they had theirs and also my bowl had half a piece of scallop (it was rlly good tho) read more

Osakana - First class Chirashi Donburi - First Class - - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered omakase take out and I was so disappointed. I really wanted to like this place because it delivered to my area and I don't like picking up omakase and taking it home. The fish tasted old, chewy, and dry. The rice tasted really chewy and old. I usually save the best for last and the uni piece in my order tasted like the bottom of the ocean and rancid. I also ordered 1/4th a lb of ikura and it was overly salted. I seriously wish it was better because I wanted to order here regularly but definitely not worth the money I've spent and I could have picked up something better. I found a bone in one of my sushi pieces and I spat it out. The other pieces were so sinewy I spat them out as well it really ruined my meal. read more

At first glance, Osakana is an unremarkable storefront in the East Village. Don't be fooled! Osakana is a hidden gem that's an all-in-one fish market and takeout sushi counter (that also happens to offer cooking classes). The headline is decent quality fish at reasonable prices. Their offerings include sashimi, nigiri, chirashi, and all the constituent ingredients if you happen to fancy crafting a meal back home. Unfortunately, they don't have seating so you'll need to plan to eat elsewhere. Remember to order ahead of time (the night before) for pickup to ensure that what you want is in stock, as they sell out quickly. We ordered the "Sushi First Class" & "Chirashi First Class" for $50/each. The fish was pretty fresh, good quality, and super tasty - the scallop nigiri happened to be one of the largest pieces of scallop sushi I've had at a restaurant! The portion sizes were decent, I've definitely paid more for less at other takeout joints. A couple nitpicks - the texture of the rice was great but slightly under-seasoned to my taste, and I wish they included ginger. All in all, I really enjoyed the food and will come back next time I'm in town. We're interested in the "DIY Temaki Handroll Set" & the "Hokkaido Bento"! read more

Was craving sashimi of just a ton of salmon and some yellowtail. This salmon!!! Was!! So!! Fatty!! Loved the generous portions of yellowtail as well. Not shown is some mackerel which I preferred over the yellowtail actually. Such great quality and great value :) read more

Osakana - Salmon - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

I've passed by this place walking down St. Marks and always wondered how it works. Turns out you order online ahead of time and pick-up or get it delivered. I ordered the standard chirashi and sushi first class and I'm pretty happy with what I got! The order came out to around $74 dollars, split that in half with a friend and I got some good quality sushi and chirashi for around $37 dollars which I think is a steal. The food was packaged nicely in cute wooden boxes. This would be perfect for a picnic for two outside when the weather isn't too hot. I'd absolutely recommend it. read more

Disappointed since the last time. I ordered the exact same item as five months ago, but my toro was replaced by regular maguro. The price was exactly the same, and I was really looking forward to the toro. What a bummer. The sushi rice was also harder than sushi rice should be. The fish quality was still good, so hopefully, this was a one time fluke. read more

Came here for their sushi making class and really enjoyed it. The instructor, Cory, was engaging, helpful, and welcoming. Obviously nobody is going to become a sushi master after one class, but I definitely picked up some tips and tricks that make me want to host a sushi making party at home. Fish was delicious and very fresh, and they provided a yuzu chili paste that was incredible and really elevated a few of the pieces. I don't live very nearby, but I'd absolutely travel there for takeout. I thought the class was a bit expensive, but given the types of fish that we worked with and ate (toro, scallop, uni, etc) it was 100% worth it. Left very, very, full and even with some leftovers! read more

Osakana offers solid deals on their sashimi, sushi, and by the pound fish. Definitely give it a shot. However, I once ordered and asked for it to be ready at a certain time. Just out of curiosity, I called an hour and a half earlier to see if it could be prepared earlier, but was told it was already done early and I could pick it up at my convenience. That irked me a little. It's cool that it was done early, but I'm used to my sashimi/sushi being fresh and prepared for immediate consumption. At the end, it tasted okay, but I may need to not order in advance next time. read more

Service was good here and staff was helpful in explaining menu. Wouldn't say this is authentic but I'd say it's not bad. Definitely on same level of the normal sushi place. Not omakase fresh or as pretty as it. I got the first class set. I thought presentation was good but kinda feel flat with flavors and freshness. The fish choices weren't that special and some were hit or miss. Didn't love the mackerel. The ikura uni was very weird. Wishing there was more uni. But an okay deal. read more

Such high quality fish for a great price. Genuinely felt like the quality of fish I get at restaurant quality omakase. It's a no frills take out spot but it's definitely worth it. I recommend the sushi deluxe omakase box! read more

Great quality to-go sushi & sashimi. Friendly service and easy to arrange pick-ups. Would definitely recommend and be back again. Got the sushi first class and chirashi first class. read more

Really great store with quality sashimi! It's a quaint space, you walk in and order what cut of sashimi you'd like (by quarter pound, unless otherwise stated). You can also order the sashimi or sushi package and they assemble it there for you so it's super fresh! I think they also had a ramen set. I had the sashimi set for one and it was amazing. I also got the himono, and pretty excited to cook it (they have a selection of fish to be cooked at home). Definitely recommend and will be back! read more

Osakana - Sashimi - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

So, Mishima was my go to sushi restaurant but it was family owned and the owner/chef retired. Oskana, after years of looking is my new favorite - hands down. They cut the fish in front of you. There is no place to sit, but if you go north on 2nd a few blocks you hit Stuyvesant Square Park - a lovely place to eat. read more

All the fish fresh and generously cut. Nigiri rice excellent, and held together. Be sure to get the hand-ground fresh wasabi. If you bought the same in a sushi restaurant, it would be at a minimum 2-3 times the price, and could not be noticeably better because this fish is absolutely top quality. The knife work is professional, precise, and well measured. Amaze your guests at a home party. Selection has some fish you don't routinely see in a sushi restaurant, unless you order omakase. Have a giant sushi and sashimi dinner at home!! read more

I purchased some fish, pickled radish, and Shiso leaves for some at home hand rolls and the service was excellent!

The highest quality sushi that I have found that is takeaway. The ingredient is the freshest that I had. It is on par with sit down restaurants. Just remember to order ahead for your pick up. Their soy sauce is phenomenal. You should buy a bottle for home. This is my new go to sushi spot. read more

WOW!!! This place is amazing and just what the neighborhood and I needed, (Although it is dangerously too close/up the street!) Incredible selection of sushi grade fish and seafood ready to take home and slice, roll, etc. They also sell all the necessary components - Nori, Wasabi, Ginger, Soy - whatever you need. Oh... they also have sushi classes!!! Turkey was never a family thing so this year's Thanksgiving it was sushi. read more

Took one of their sushi making classes and really enjoyed it. Super fresh fish/seafood and very knowledgeable instructors. Will definitely be back to buy materials to make sushi at home! read more

I am only basing my review on the cooking salmon. The first time I bought it, I seasoned it before cooking and it ended up being so salty that it was inedible. They don't warn about precuring the cooking salmon on their website, but they do warn about the raw salmon: "While uncured salmon can be wet and soft, we lightly cure our Salmon to reduce the overall water content to concentrate the flavor and to provide a more satisfyingly firm mouthfeel". OK, so after seeing that, I gave them a second chance and learned my lesson: I bought the cooking salmon, did not add any salt at all, cooked it, and it was fantastic: very fresh, moist, everything you wish cooked salmon were. But today on my third try I bought and cooked another pound of cooking salmon without adding any salt and this time it was so salty again that we could not eat it. This was going to be a weekly routine for us, but instead I am never going back. I can't chance spending $30 on cooking salmon and possibly have to throw it away every three times because they are inconsitent with their seasoning. Way to ruin a business. What a shame. read more

Great fish great service. Super fresh fish nice chirashi and others! Sushi maybe rice to much but overall love this place! read more

This is not your traditional sushi restaurant. It's a workshop location, and their food are pretty fresh. But my order didn't have soy sauce or wasabi. I am not sure if it's because that's not how to do them? But it was a pretty disappointing surprise. read more

A bit pricey but well worth it! Wait time for orders is long but the freshness of the fish justifies the wait! Been here 2x and I will come again. read more

My go to for takeout sushi. Super high quality fish, fair prices (it's not cheap but cheaper than if you were to get it from an omakase place and definitely similar quality) and quite a large variety. Have ordered from here probably 5 times now and haven't been disappointed! You pay by the pound so you truly get what you pay for. They do tend to cut the sashimi a bit thick, but the sushi pieces are great. I especially love the chirashi boxes, they make for a quick and easy dinner perfect for warmer summer nights. read more

Terrible experience with customer service! Have heard great things about Osakana online. We placed an order online for pickup at 4:30. We got to the store and stood at the front counter for 5 minutes before someone acknowledged us. There were 3 employees working and we were the ONLY customers. I told the worker that I had a pickup order and gave my name, his response was "just to let you know we are pretty much out of everything." I again said that we placed an order online, he then says "what's your name?" After giving it to him again, another employee in the back of the store yells out "the only fish we have is from last year," it's January 2nd. The first guy then looks in the fridge and then goes into a side room without saying anything and doesn't come out. We waited another 5 minutes before leaving without our order or any acknowledgement from the employees. This is the worst experience we have had anywhere in the city. read more

Can't comment on the restaurant side, but as an amateur sushi chef, I was quite excited to discover Osakana's wholesale fish market. However, the most disappointing part was realizng the lack of interest they have on the "customer experience" side. I recently purchased over $150 of salmon, scallop, sea bream, etc. and unfortunately, was underwhelmed. While they have an amazingly wide selection of fresh fish - much more than you'll find at H-Mart or Mitsuwa - In my experience, the flavor/quality of the fish was quite mediocre. The scallops were great. No complaints. However, the salmon belly/toro was nowhere near as 'fatty' as the same cut at Mitsuwa, nor did it compare to any average omekase. The sea bream was stringy and chewy, and the salmon roe was too salty. After directly emailing them, twice, and providing some feedback, they've so far ghosted me. Which is quite disappointing. Especially, since I was a first time customer. I'll probably give 'em one more shot, but, at this point, not expecting much. read more

I should have turned around when I got near and the overwhelming smell of fish hit me. Even though there were three workers and just one of me, it took them a little while to acknowledge me. I have never encountered so much gristle in my Sashimi even in much cheaper places. I suppose that the way he had to saw through the fish was a giveaway. Despite this, the fish was mushy. read more

You know, it's time to write a review. I was always worried to make sushi at home for safety and fish quality and Osakana opened that door for me lol. I'm obsessed with them. I go every week now and have been making sushi (delicious sushi) at home frequently. Their fish is super high quality, and you can tell they care about the product they sell. I love this place and will continue to support them. read more

I was sooooo excited to try this place for years. I ordered Tokyo market sushi. Surprisingly sushi rice was NOT great. It was not moist and soft. It did not melt with fish in my mouth. I was dry and hard. I can't believe this place is run by Japanese chef. Fish quality was good but not great though. It's mediocre in Japanese standards. I'm a little disappointed with the rice. Secondly I replaced something with Uni over the phone. I wish they told me in advance they were going to charge extra for it. Overall, good place to try. read more
