I've been waiting to try this restaurant since December of 2025. I arrived here back then but the popularity drove the line down the block and I never got a chance to try it, until today. I came at 11:30 AM, right at opening. The store is compact, has nice lighting, and a small stool area. Probably not the best place to eat if you prefer to come in large groups or like larger seating, but that doesn't change how I felt about this place. The cashier was so kind and upbeat, quickly served me my Philadelphia roll, asked if I needed napkins, and offered a demonstration of how to eat the push-pop sushi, which I of course accepted. This food made the wait definitely worth it. I've had Philadelphia rolls before, but the added fish eggs on the exterior were such a nice touch, and don't even get me started on the soy sauce. It was unlike other soy sauces I've had before. My only issue was the fact that it was $17 for just a few Philadelphia rolls. Price is a tad steep for my liking. Other than that, Suka Sushi was fantastic. Go try this place out. read more

We were in New York City for a couple of days, and our daughter had heard about this spot, so we decided to check it out. The line moved fairly quickly, and the place itself is pretty small, but thankfully there's outdoor seating, which made it more comfortable to enjoy the food. We ordered the Alaska, tuna, unagi, and shrimp, and everything was packed with flavor--the quality really exceeded expectations. The concept of serving sushi in a tube with soy sauce included is actually pretty clever and convenient. It was a bit out of the way from where we were staying, but it was absolutely worth the trip. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try--I know I'll be coming back. read more

Bland. How old was this sushi? How long was it sitting out? I went home and made fresh sushi after this to remind myself what flavor tastes like. Fun concept for a sushi spot but $16 for bland sushi is quite bold. They only had this flavor ready. The staff seems super swamped. read more

Very different sushi experience! As I Mentioned in the video it's modern day to go sushi. You can see them making the sushi and updating the rolls in real time so it's not pre packed like alot of to go sushi spots. They've been packed for awhile so glad I was able to come in and check them. Customer service was great as well, she asked us if we know how to use the tube (even though it's on the tube and easy to follow) she still showed us how to use it! read more

I was craving sushi so I took a walk during my lunch break. I thoroughly wish I went the other way. This sushi was so bad I threw it away after the 2nd piece....because who wants to get sick from sushi.. The pop up container they use is cute but the sushi tasted like paper and was mushy. It also tasted like it was made a week ago . Idk if it's the packaging but this is the worst sushi I've ever had. I simply cannot recommend this place. The only good thing I can say is that the cashier was really nice and explained how to eat the sushi read more

If I could rate this ten stars I would. Such a fun fun concept and it is executed so well! I will warn you, they will sell out. Your best bet is to plan to get there either when they open, or check and see what time they post they may re-open after their morning product sells out. We got there about 5-10 minutes before their second opening in the day and were in and out pretty quickly even with a line. I got the Spicy Tuna roll: super good, super filling, and worth the price you pay. It may seem expensive but those are well sized pieces and every push pop comes with ten. They all come with soy sauce which you can pour/ drizzle into the container. I need more places like this around the country! There is very minimal seating indoors so plan to be in and out very fast. read more

We came for the hype a while back and took our visiting friends-- it's a fun concept, but the sushi is not mind blowing. Wish we tried the salmon roll, but we all got spicy tuna-- the owner was friendly and greeted us in line! Hope to try it again when the line is a smidge shorter! Cheers! read more

Suka Sushi - Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Thought I'd have to wait in a long line, especially with how busy the city was with the NBA Championship, but to my surprise I was able to walk right in. Wish I had taken note of the lady behind the counter, she was super inviting and very enthusiastic to explain anything on the menu. She offered everyone that came in a tutorial on how to eat and not drop the pop. Menu is minimal but it was evident they know what the most desired combinations are bc I wanted to order every roll. There is not really seating inside as it's a tiny place, so we stepped out to have fun eating ours outside. The rolls are quite large. One was definitely enough to fuel back up for walking the city. Fun & Friendly! read more

Pretty mediocre experience at Suka Sushi, similar to other reviewers. The odor inside is pretty intense, something between a strong fishy smell and sewer smell. The rolls are very expensive for what you get, and the only compelling factor is the unique presentation. The unagi roll was okay, the unagi was decently tasty, but I did not like the added cream cheese. It's an okay one and done for me. read more

Suka Sushi - Unagi Sushi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My son, his best friend and I all agreed this was literally the best sushi we have ever tasted. Worth the trip into Manhattan from Long Island and in a lovely area in Flatiron District / NOMAD. There is even a little patio nearby that's part of Baruch college (I think) where there are tables and benches so you can sit and eat. Or walk a few blocks to Madison Square Park. But before you go - you need to know what you are in for. I read the 1 and 2 star reviews and I felt so bad!! You need to know: the wait is LONG. The rolls are expensive. They are giant and worth it. Plus the push pop idea is something you can't find anywhere else. The restaurant took off on TikTok and I don't think the owners ever expected what NYers will do for amazing sushi. They are overwhelmed and still deliver with a smile. They smartly close mid day to catch up on orders. They close at 2:30 pm (maybe a little sooner) to catch up on orders and open again at 4:30 for dinner. Line up at 3:30 if you want dinner!!! Like anything else in NYC lately it's a bit of an ordeal but that's part of the experience. So here was our experience on this mild December Saturday. We drove to queens and took the subway to Lexington Ave. (it's cheaper than LIRR for 3 adult fares). Walked a few blocks to the sushi place and the line was not very long but inside was packed. It's tiny with counter seating to wait. We arrived around 1 pm I think. Well they stopped taking orders two people after ours! Talk about timing! It wasn't even 2:30. Get there at like 11 am for lunch if you don't want to take chances. They said it would be an hour and a half wait and they took my number. We were hungry so we dipped into wing spot and shared 6 wings and fries between the 3 of us to tied us over. We made some friends in Wing Stop and chatted a bit and then wandered flatiron. Saw the tree in Madison Square park. Went back (maybe an hour passed) and they said we were next and it would be ready soon. The staff is SO NICE! It breaks their heart to turn people away but they just cannot keep up. They are looking to expand! I had the shrimp with cream cheese roll and my son and his friend had California rolls. We all tried both though! You could tell how fresh they were - delicious. The Roe was the perfect crunchy complement to the crab and shrimp. And the cream cheese in my roll was not overpowering. It was ideal. They don't have a giant selection but it's definitely worth planning ahead to enjoy Suka Sushi at least once! It seems crazy but people wait for broadway shows, bagels, even to get into FAO Schwartz. As long as the staff continues maintaining their friendly disposition I think Suka sushi can continue to do well!!! I suspect other restaurants in the area are also doing well for people who decide it's not worth the wait or are turned away. read more

Visiting New York for the first time and we HAD to try Suka Sushi, especially from all the posts we came across on Instagram. Once we walked in, the smell was HORRIBLE! I can't even describe the stench. I wanted to leave but my daughters were excited and still wanted to try. It's very small inside, which is fine. There are a few bar stools for you to sit and eat. The rolls are premade and kept in a case. Service was terrible, no welcome in, no how are you, and no recommendations. We ordered the California Roll & Spicy Tuna. Both were just okay, but what made us not finish our rolls was the fact that the rolls were warm! We took one bite each and threw the rest away. Overall it's a great idea, but there's no need to go here. read more

Creative concept of sushi "push pops." When I went around midday they were out of several items, and the only options to immediately order were the California roll and the vegetable roll. California roll was great but vegetable roll left a lot to be desired read more

While visiting New York, I knew I had to stop by Suka Sushi after seeing all the hype on TikTok and Instagram, and as a sushi lover, it definitely lived up to expectations. I ordered the Philadelphia Roll and the Unagi Roll, and both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The quality of the fish and the balance of flavors really stood out, making each bite enjoyable. What made the experience even more memorable was their unique packaging and presentation. It added a fun, modern twist to the whole experience and made it feel different from your typical sushi spot. Overall, the sushi absolutely did not disappoint, and I can see why it's been getting so much attention online. If you're in NYC and love sushi, this spot is definitely worth checking out! read more

Decent sushi. In a tube. Tiny spot with mostly takeaway and close to Baruch College plaza with some nice seating. Sushi (maki) was pretty good. Has the unagi and spicy tuna. Nothing to wait in a long line for but decent. Friendly staff. read more

An interesting concept to sushi; push pop and to-go. The marketing they received was a bless and curse because it's so popular people be waiting around the block. I got lucky, waiting about 30 minutes before getting inside: but waited about 30 minutes to receive my order. The downside that I overheard from other customers was the policy of one roll per person. The store itself is very small; wonderful friendly workers though! I see potential in this establishment, perhaps having better flow in orders/time wait. I ordered the California it was so good. For the price verses size I feel like it's worth it. Remember, you're paying for the experience too. I'll be back to try more flavors read more

Food is good, service "sukass" if you catch my drift. We came the first time and waited 40 minutes for the roll in total. As I said before the food was good so we came back to get another roll around 7:30pm when they close at 8:00pm. They told us they won't take any orders, so why not say you close at 7pm...... I can understand if we had a large order by a single roll of sushi should not be where the line is drawn. In a city like New York City, where you can get sushi anywhere I definitely will NOT be coming back. ‍ read more

Sushi was good. I loved the concept of the push sushi pop. Very on the NYC go!!!!! I ordered the cali roll my daughter loved it and the spicy tuna roll read more

Suka Sushi - Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll California Sushi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I thought the rolls were good the fish tasted fresh and the rice was cooked good so it makes a good quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, just remember this is a grab and go situation there is no seating theres 5 -6 stools available for counter top dining. The options are very limited there are 7 rolls on the menu and they are very basic rolls. The smell in the store was kind of icky smelled fishy and vinegary. It was a little too strong cause the place was so small. And the service was friendly but slow, but I think they just don't have a good system in place yet hopefully with some time they'll be running smooth soon. Wishing them lots of luck! read more

Well, this is a million dollar idea if Suka Sushi can upscale rapidly. When we visited, they had only been open for three weeks but wow were they slammed after Instagram and Tik Tok reviews hit them. The sushi is actually really good and the push pop holder is genius. I'm hoping the best for them... because as fun as it is to see people process an hour wait for one of the rolls; ultimately, I want to see this business be successful. The staff is super sweet about the delay and we saw them all work hard to accommodate folks trying to grab a bite on their lunch break. So kudos on maintaining customer service and bravo to this team for such a brilliant concept! read more

The staff was nice, but the place reeked, salmon was old and mushy, and the rice had way too much vinegar. If I wasn't with someone I would have walked out just from the way the place smelled. Yuck. read more

A brand new sushi spot that's trending this week all over social media is bound to cause long waits and hype. It's not a big place so the line can be long with many people waiting outside. I had the spicy tuna and it's a really great concept for on the go to eat. It comes with a soy sauce tube that attaches to the sushi pop up container and with a can for you to cover it after pouring sauce in the tube. Use the tube to push up the sushi pieces for each bite. It's a great concept and I don't think it's overpriced, there's easily many places that sell regular 8 piece California rolls for the same price or more. read more

Love the concept of the push pop but the sushi itself is very mid. For $16+ I don't think it's worth it to wait in line and you will definitely still be hungry after eating one. Wait till the hype dies down to try. read more

Decided to try a new sushi pop-up recently opened. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall concept designed strictly for grab and go - no seating available, so this is not a dine-in experience.The menu is very focused, offering 7 roll options, each coming with 10 pieces. The pricing is on higher side. One important caveat: there is a one-roll-per-person policy, meaning each person must be physically present to order their own roll. This can be slightly inconvenient if you're trying to pick up sushi for friends/ family.Overall, the concept is dope and worth experiencing at least once. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for basic sushi, I would stop by again if I happened to be in the area. Definitely worth a try if you're curious about the pop-up scene. read more

Randomly closed in the middle of the day does NOT state this in the website. Traveled across town to try this after finding it online & am very disappointed, didn't get to try the food. Won't be coming back don't recommend. Menu is also minimal ! read more

We waited in line for 10 min at 6:30 pm. There's a kid at the door who only allows one party to enter the restaurant at a time. While you wait, you have to talk to him, even if you don't want to. We got the Alaska roll. The quality of the sushi is like gas station sushi; it's premade and refrigerated. The best part is the pushpop experience. In these dark times, it was a good laugh. Also $17 for one sushi roll. read more

Like others have said! The place had a very bad smell like a bad smell! The workers are not very welcoming! The rolls are warm and tasted no so great! Definitely overhyped place! Will not return at all! read more

Completely overhyped and aggressively promoted by bloggers. The reality doesn't live up to the buzz at all. The biggest issue is their one roll per person policy. I wanted to buy two rolls -- one for myself and one for my husband, who was at work. They refused, explaining that they need to make sure everyone gets sushi. The irony is obvious: if my husband had been standing next to me, they suddenly would have had enough rolls. Without him -- apparently not. Yes, there is a line, but the wait wasn't that long (around 20-30 minutes), even though I was close to the end. The taste? Just ordinary rolls. Nothing special, nothing memorable, definitely not worth the hype. It feels like the hype is artificial and the limited working hours are intentionally creating the illusion of long lines. I genuinely hope they reconsider their attitude toward guests, because their "one roll per person" policy is likely costing them a lot of money -- and goodwill. Yes, it may be convenient, but it still takes a lot of time for something marketed as a quick grab-and-go snack. The place is very small and has no kitchen, so it looks like the rolls are brought in pre-made from elsewhere. Suka sushi seems to be a real Suka :) read more

Great sushi (tried Philadelphia) and their lemonade, the flavour feels amazing, and real. The service was amazing, funny doorman from Germany, was great talking to a guy. Also, cashier is very friendly. I would comeback and recommend everyone read more

I'll start by saying that this time we went to a place that is heavily advertised by many bloggers. Other than the hype and well-designed presentation, there is nothing special about it. The sushi was absolutely not tasty. We ordered three different rolls with the kids: California, Philadelphia, and one with shrimp. The sushi at Whole Foods tastes better in comparison. Our conclusion is that not everything promoted by bloggers is actually worth buying. We definitely won't be coming back and won't fall for online hype again. read more

This place is joke on Japanese cuisine me and my friend in the neighborhood yesterday. We try Unagi sushi roll , spicy tuna roll and shrimp mango sushi roll . Place totally empty. Services extremely horrible people can't explain what the selling . 2nd point tuna smell old smell and bad taste and mango shrimp roll no flavor of mango at all. Sorry to say the have to come up with new game . It's unprofessional and unorganized management. Kitchen don't know what's happening and floor staff can't explain single words sound like owners not even Japanese that's why it's joke . . Good luck with your adventure. read more

i'm glad I came here! The sushi was delicious and fresh. Overall, amazing experience and great service. Will definitely be coming back!

Food was absolutely delicious and worth every second. Some of the best sushi i've had, and that's saying a lot. The owner Ben was really nice and the customer service was great. Overall, for only being opened for one month, this place is doing great. 10/10 recommend! read more

Suka Sushi - Shrimp Mango Sushi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We just came back from New York and this was one of the places my wife wanted to try because it went viral. I don't think they will last long. First of all we went and got there at 7:30 granted we should have gone earlier but still learning the subway. We got there and they turned us away because they ran out. Second, we went the next day at opening and here was about 7 people ahead of us. It was nice of them to give us tea while waiting in the cold. We ordered the spicy tuna and either the shrimp or California roll. I can't remember which exactly. But my roll had something chewy in it and I couldn't make out what it was. The sushi in general wasn't anything special. I just think they should leave sushi making to Japanese people who do it right. read more

Definition of overrated/overhyped. Sushi average or below. Creative packaging that's it. Blah and they refused to give side of spicy mayo bc the chef wasn't there to give approval (?) and don't have wasabi or ginger (despite wasabi being advertised on the package in the directions to eat). read more

it was good but so over rated. Not thats revolutionary and so over glazed. And the place is rlly small

The sushi was AMAZING and freshly made! I'm glad that my expectations for this place came through. Definitely worth the wait. So so good!

Highly recommend....Sushi was fresh! The service was awesome and the push-up sushi is a must try!
