Ordered takeout and really liked all the rolls. Dragon, blossom, sumo - can't go wrong with any of these. Charred salmon was 10/10. Great value for the price. read more

Came on a Friday lunchtime and there was no wait. Came for a quick lunch break. Solid sushi and tastes great for the price. Ordered the lunch special two rolls for $9.95 plus salad/miso soup, except we didn't receive the miso soup. The rolls were made to order so the sweet potato roll was fresh and crispy. It did take us 15 mins to be served which was a little inconvenient with our time crunch but I'm glad the sushi was made fresh. read more

Good sushi at a reasonable price .we always do take out -order early as it takes a while

Very interesting place that reminds me of a movie. Very much a green hole in the wall with an antiquated interior that cuts to the chase. Staff is attentive and food is made to order. Wait time for takeaway is less than 10 minutes. Rainbow roll was good. Definitely not too tier but definitely satisfied the craving. Fish tasted good and the portion was perfect. The wasabi was greener than the interior walls :). If I was passing by and craving cheap sushi. I would come here again read more

Miso Soup was a 2 out of 10 (how does anyone screw up Miso Soup?). Hand roll and specialty roll I ordered, absolute garbage. Wouldn't feed it to a dog. 1 bite of each and threw it out. Dumplings were equivalent to gas station food. Powdered dollar store quality wasabi. Old half dried out ginger. Seaweed salad is better from Costco. Nothing was fresh, the rice was not sushi rice, this might be the worst sushi spot in NYC, OR maybe I'm just use to better quality sushi. Idk but I was so put off that I was compelled to leave this review. I don't want to screw with their rating so I'm giving it a 3 but it's a NEGATIVE 3. read more

A great neighborhood takeout/delivery place. Sushi is always fresh and timely. The cook has been there for years and is very accomodating.

Your neighborhood sushi joint. Nothing fancy but delicious for the price. Dedicated staff who work hard to ensure everything is made to order in a timely manner. Highly recommend for something quick and affordable especially in this time and age. read more

I was looking for low quality eats and so I thought about sushi. I was about to get whole food sushi which I enjoyed but I stumbled upon this place. They had a lunch deal for 9 bucks for 2 rollls. I chose spicy tuna and spicy salmon. This was a great deal. It was tasty and fast. No complaints read more

Small sushi joint with a friendly staff and a straightforward menu. I would recommend sticking to the sushi (ordered the gyoza once and it was very sub par). The lunch special is a fantastic value read more

Ordered rolls - the rice was hard , dry and not edible- inside was a joke. It doesnt represent the delicate and freshness of japanese food. Messy place and careless workers. First and last time! read more

Great neighborhood spot. Love stopping in for some quick sushi. The man who runs this location is always super efficient, kind, great at arranging sushi. Hope this place stays here forever read more

I loved my experience eating at Sushi 21. There was only one man working when my group of five visited and he was wonderful. The food was delicious and the place itself is quite small and simply decorated, but I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend anyone to go! read more

Here's the thing about Sushi 21. It doesn't try to be anything other than exactly what it is: a bare-bones, regular, reasonably priced sushi place. It's not fancy. It's not this week's trendiest spot, and it's not Nobu. Tonight, I was catching a movie with a friend, and he wanted to get a quick, inexpensive bite on our way. This did the trike and hit the spot. And to be honest, I've been on a Tekka Don (raw tuna over a bed of rice) for a few months. Now, I've paid $30 for this, and ordered from some of the best. And, I gotta say, the Tekka Don here for under $10, at first had me concerned. But it was fresh, and in some ways, better than ones I've paid a lot for. It was a nice dinner. No complaints. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now. I have seen the same people working here and they have always been wonderful! I'm surprised to see negative reviews! The service, and food is great! I mean, it's not Sushi Nakazawa with 4 $$$$. But come on. Besides the fact, I have always felt so comfortable in this place. Whenever I am craving some delicious affordable sushi, I always come to Sushi 21. The prices are great and I've never had a bad tasting meal. The sushi is exceptionally clean and flavorful. I usually order the sashimi and I am never disappointed. Their rice is always soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Plus, this little hidden nook is what this city is all about. I will forever continue to come back to this place! read more

Extreme late day 5pm lunch, hunger pangs strike hard where I claim my native Asian cuisine. Sushi 21 sits on 21st Street / 7th Avenue in Chelsea where sushi galore inhabits as well as Bento Box. My all-time favorite Bento Box has been skimmed as it does not contain shrimp, only Gyoza, white rice of my chicken Tonkatsu at $6.95. Fresh and plentiful for lunch, nevertheless I inhaled the whole thing for seating is ample. Service is efficient but rather stolid of a hostile environment to customers. Seating is clean in a brightly lit atmosphere. Japanese magazines and newspapers inhabit the shelves. read more

Food is amazing I love the chopsticks they have the best/nicest waiters ever the experience was amazing.

Great little find in Chelsea ordered delivery food came quick and was still hot the chicken katsu was crispy and juicy the brown rice was soft only thing I didn't like so much was they added dressing to the salad so it was very watery by the time it came sushi was good tried the brown rice option very flavorful good cheap option for lunch read more

Sushi 21 - these walls are the most perfect shade of green ever - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The art on the outside and inside of the building is beautiful. Smaller than it looks on the inside, decent menu, with both classic and "fun" rolls. Prices are average, I'd say overall a decent place for sushi although I could not attest to how fresh the sashimi is as I did not have any. I do wish it was a little cooler inside, maybe their air conditioning was broken. The waitress did not automatically bring us any water to drink, and there was a child sleeping on the bar stools up front, but then again we were the only people in there so the waitress and staff were probably not at the top of their game. I'd go back though and try other things on the menu. read more

Fair is fair here! What's nice about this place is that it's not a restaurant with waiter service that expects tip. And besides, most sushi bars around NYC are a bit pricey, but with $10 here you can get a decent meal. The lunch deals have a nice price and portion with 2-classic roll, 3-classic roll deal, and bento box. The quality is not bad and it was a little better than okay (in that bit good area). Katsu chicken bento box did not disappoint me. The salad was refreshing, the gyoza and california was a bit small (I'm kind of a big dude), katsu chicken was delicious. Overall a nice meal to eat. Gotta get the 3-roll deal for lunch next time! read more

A great little sushi joint. One of my main places to buy sushi. The food is quite cheap compared to most places. Their chicken and beef teriyaki tastes great and the sushi is always freshly made when ordered. It's also very quiet usually so it's great for a calm atmosphere when eating. One of my favorite things (because it tastes wonderful and looks very appealing) is the Spicy Tuna over Crispy Rice which is an appetizer. read more

I recently 'got into' sushi back in March so take this as you will. I had a Shrimp Tempura Roll and a NY Roll. Combining the decent service, reasonable(for the area) pricing and the NY Roll, I'd have given Sushi 21 3 stars. I'm detracting a star, however for the not-so-great presentation of the Shrimp Tempura. If I'm eating Shrimp Tempura by the piece I won't mind biting the shrimp off the tail, but I'm thinking a roll would go better without the tail. I shouldn't have to deconstruct a roll to eat it. Overall, I'd go back; the place is clean if a bit cramped and with the crowd I'd say they have regulars so they must be doing something right, but the Shrimp Tempura isn't it. read more

A hole-in-the-wall sushi spot in Chelsea that I order delivery from regularly. It's super well-priced so don't be expecting omakase-quality sushi, but the fish is fresh and the rice is good. My go-to order is the "sushi a la king." A good weeknight choice when you're not trying to splurge. read more
