Solid omakase spot that gets pretty busy on a Friday night. Service is prompt and was nice. There is a nice west village vibe and it gets The 15 piece is a solid set, it is delivered quite quickly (was under 45 minutes). All the pieces were pretty solid, although some were a little small. read more

The sushi is excellent quality and taste. The presentation of the sushi at the sushi bar is somewhat haphazard. There is no attempt to make the experience interesting. Overall good but nothing special. read more

Had the omakase during lunch and it did not disappoint! Sat at the bar, service was wonderful. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Clean restaurant. Would definitely come back! read more

Really enjoyed the omakase at this former hotpot place which is a pretty good omakase deal, and the ease of getting a table surprisingly on a Saturday night. Fresh, top-of-the-line fish and such a straightforward menu which I love. Not rushing back as it wasn't wildly creative or interesting, but definitely a delicious, reliable, well-priced sushi meal in the best neighborhood read more

Accessible and inexpensive. Good sushi with pleasant, courteous service. Now I need several more characters to finish this review.

Amazing experience! It was like a whole show - this made our evening! Taste, presentation, ambience- everything was great. Thank you Chef! We will be coming back every time we are in NYC read more

Prototypical neighborhood omakase place. Easy to get a reservation, quiet, huge selection of excellent fish at budget prices.

I love a good omakase and we walked past this place randomly one night and it looked so cute inside so we very easily booked a reservation for 8 pm that Saturday (they literally had every single time slot open). We were seated right away and were offered a table at the side of the restaurant or seats at the sushi bar. My regret of the evening was not sitting at the sushi bar counter, I think that takes the experience from good to great being able to see the chefs create each piece and put each bite in front of you. Instead our 15 piece omakase ($100) was served in two "courses" and made it a little bit less special. I was also a little disappointed the meal didn't come with dessert or anything to sort of "finish it off" the way I've had at other omakase places. For $100 a person I do want to feel like it is a really special experience, which i think this place lacked. The other reason I knocked a star was the unbelievably obnoxious table of men next to us who were screaming the entire evening, being rude, making crude comments, and not once did the staff say anything to them. It sort of ruined our experience unfortunately. I will likely come back to give this place another try. read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. So glad we found this place! Did the 15 piece Omakase for $100 and then ordered an extra piece of CA uni (omakase came with Maine Uni), which blew my mind away, and then a spicy scallop hand roll (omakase came with a tuna hand roll, which was delicious), which was also delicious and had a nice crunch to it. Especially loved that it was BYOB! $10 corkage fee per person. Also was impressed by the wood of the sushi bar. Will definitely be coming back here frequently! Highly recommend. read more

A quiet, hidden gem that delivers on its sushi. Come here now! Here's what you need to know about Sushi 456: 1. The nigiri specials and lunch specials have a decent amount of food and fresh fish. The omakase is also a pretty good deal at $100. 2. I say this as someone who has done a handful of omakases: THIS IS THE BEST EEL NIGIRI IN NYC. 3. The staff are some of the nicest people. 4. Cute minimalist space. Overall, it's just excellent sushi, especially for the price point and being in the West Village. If you like eel, go here now! read more

I cannot say enough good things about my family's experience at Sushi 456! It was my family's first omakase experience and Lin, the owner and our chef at the bar was amazing. We sat next to two different groups of regulars that clearly return here because of the hospitality and intimacy. He toasted with us for my birthday and was so kind!! We did the 10 piece omakase which was so fresh and delicious. Every bite was simple but so tasty! All of the fish melted in my mouth and it was impossible to choose a favorite. We will definitely be returning for the service and coziness of the restaurant! read more

Sushi 456 - Eel Avo - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

If you want a casual experience with ok sushi, this place is not bad. Ingredients are fresh and service is good. $70 for the Omakase Nigiri (10 piece + 1 hand roll) is considered relatively affordable for omakase. The sushi are served in 2 plates of 5 pieces each - this is NOT your typical Omakase experience. I wasn't impressed by the sushi. They are uneven in size and some pieces are tiny. The rice is a bit hard / potentially undercooked. And too much soy sauce makes the sushi taste salty. For me the cheaper price point doesn't justify coming here again. There are plenty of good restaurants that offer under $100 omakase experience and high quality sushi. This is not one of them. read more

The service is horrendous here! My friends and I came here on a weekday night. There were empty tables, so it wasn't too busy. The nice thing about this place is that it's BYOB (no corkage fee) and there's a liquor store across the street. We brought 2 bottles of wine and decided to order the Omakase. Their "Omakase" included 15 pieces of Nigiri and a handroll for $100. Our table of 4 decided to all go-in on this. So, for Omakase, I'm used to sitting at the bar and watch the sushi chef make the pieces in front of me. It's also nice being able to engage in some small conversation. I'm also used to getting one piece at a time. At Sushi 456, we were seated at a table (not at the bar) and was served all the pieces over two plates. This was definitely not the type of Omakase experience I'm used to (or what most New Yorkers are used to). It might as well have just been called a "sushi platter of 15 pieces" on their menu. The worst part of the dinner experience was that we had just finished our "Omakase" and was just finishing up our last bottle of wine. Not even 90 minutes into the dinner, the waitress came over to our table and told us that another group was waiting. We had just paid a $500 bill. We weren't even there for that long and there was another table that was also finishing up. From reading other reviews, it doesn't seem like this was a one-off incident. In general, it's not great hospitality to be rushed through (a pricey) dinner. The service was severely lacking and the experience was definitely not one I'd consider a traditional Omakase experience. I would not recommend this place. read more

Sushi 456 - Horrible "Omakase" Experience - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The sushi was pretty good and aligned with the price point. The service however, was not. I believe it may have been the owner of the restaurant - she more or less yelled at us to move our seats a few times including once during our meal as we were eating. It was bizarre. The first time she said a party of 4 was coming and even though we were at the end of the sushi bar she made us go to the other side (even though we were at the end of sushi bar). No party of 4 showed up. Later she added a chair to fit 2 more people in and made us slide down the sushi bar while we were in the middle of our meal. We ordered a bottle of sake and it was never refilled by staff, only ourselves. Food is pretty good, but that experience definitely makes me question going back. It doesn't lend itself to a terribly enjoyable evening. read more

Was a little afraid when we walked in at 6:45pm and were the only people in the restaurant. As soon as we sat, we began our journey of super fresh and delicious sushi. (And the place quickly filled up...) I got the 10 piece omakase + hand roll ($70) and my husband got the 15 piece omakase + hand roll ($100). Everything was so good, we ordered seconds of certain fish after our omakase was over. The standouts were the bonito with a crispy garlic chip on top, the king salmon quickly torched and brushed with wasabi and soy, and the toro hand roll which had scallions and Japanese yellow pickles chopped into it giving it a nice crunch. The eel avocado also had a surprising little crunch of a couple hidden small rice balls underneath. There were garnishes such as a little tiny pieces of shiso, some yuzu or a brush of soy, but nothing was overpowering. All done very very lightly to let the fish shine through. The rice was also pleasantly different from most sushi places I've been. Our hot tea and water were continuously filled to the top. Excellent service and friendly sushi chefs. Will absolutely return! read more

Sushi 456 - Bonito with garlic chip - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

A brand new but old style sushi restaurant. You won't find sou sauce or California rolls at this place. If you're not a sushi aficionado I don't appreciate what these chefs can you give you. Don't expect a lot of creativity with Omakasa each dish is just one piece of sushi. 10 piece and one roll for $70 or 15 piece and one roll for $100. I don't have a liquor license yet which works great for me because he prepared to bring your own bottle of sake which saves you lots of money. Services fabulous reservations are recommended I will definitely be back. The only dish I didn't like was the octopus and the shrimp everything else was amazing. Even a wagu beef. read more

This place is a hidden gem in West Village! BYOB!! We had 15 courses, fish was really fresh, and loved every piece we had. Chef was friendly and we just loved that we found a nice/good/affordable omakase place in WV other than sushi on Jones. only minus was.. we were sitting right in front of the door and people kept asking chef if they had seats available as they walked in. They definitely need a front waitress/waiter to greet people. Anyway can't wait to return soon! highly highly recommend this place! read more

Excellent BYOB omakase in NYC (though they charge a hefty corkage fee). Sushi 456 is what good sushi should be- fresh fish with a simple preparation. Many NYC omakase places doctor up the piece of fish too often with caviar or truffle or some flavor that I have no interest in accompanying a piece of nigiri. When I go for sushi, I simply want to taste the flavors of the fish with maybe some wasabi, soy, or ponzu at most. Sushi 456 delivers on that. The service is not the best and the corkage fee was more than my bottle of wine (which needs to change if they're not going to serve alcohol as it is a deterrent to coming here). That aside, I absolutely recommend this place for a fantastic meal that will not disappoint! read more

Amazing! Great price, great portion size and food. Absolutely delicious. Chef was very kind and friendly.

New sushi on the block! Lunch specials are amazing deals, dinner prices are reasonable. Great fish, wonderful rolls. Everything is delicious. Really excited about this moderately priced sushi restaurant in the village. It's BYOB and fully encouraged. The couple next to our table at dinner brought their own Japanese whiskey, and there is a liquor store across the street which makes a BYOB pairing easy. I love their nigiri but I'm honestly amazed at how good the spicy tuna roll is. Ideal fish/rice ratio!!! Have already been back once, I'm sure I'll be back again before next week. Great addition! read more

Sushi 456 - Nigiri Lunch - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Refreshing to go to an omakase that focuses on the flavors of high quality fish (sooo many nyc omakse have sauces and additions that hide the flavor of the fish!!) This is a great little spot in West Village focused on nigiri with a large selection of standard and more adventurous fish, I think someone that appreciates sushi at any level can find something they like. I did notice several people order the wagyu which was well seared and I was really impressed by the quality of the tuna, the otoro provably had as much marbling as the beef! There is also uni from multiple locations (japan and california when we were there) for the sea urchin lovers out there. For now it is BYOB which is....amazing!! Bring your fave sake or wine that pairs with sushi I will say for the price the omakse is a little small compared to other spots around the city, its also just nigiri and a handroll no little appetizers or sashimi, and the pace was wayyyy too fast for me. We coulx have been out of there in 20 minutes if we kept with the chef's pace. I know they are just finding their footing as a restaurant that has been open for less than a month andI will definitely be back! read more

Epic food my regular spot when I'm in town. Always top notch. Highly recommend the omakase.

We had attended a Jazz benefit for Ukraine and had just seen some AMAZING players making music in public for the first time in 2 years. It got late and we were hungry and on the way to another restaurant, we walked by on a Friday night at 10:00 PM and found a table. While it looked very crowded, the staff made sure to get us a comfortable table. It was SUPER loud: the crowd was young, heavy drinking, and noisy. BUT: they LEFT! The service was fine...started slow, but then very attentive. The menu is good but small, and really focused on the fish--which is a GOOD THING. We ordered a LOT of sushi and sashimi. Their scallops are flown in from Hokkaido and were REALLY impressive--super buttery. Their fatty tuna that night in the fatty tuna rolls was REALLY oily and tasty. Really, all the fish was handled very well. I can't say they did anything else particularly special...but that is the point: we wanted REALLY good sashimi...and that is what we got. There is a store next door to grab beer or wine and a liquor store across the street. They were very quick to bring us beer and cocktail glasses for our drinks. That's all you need: a little beverage, a lot of great fish, and for the noisy kids to leave!! I don't think this will become anyone's darling, but I hope they develop enough of a following to stay around for years to come. I will be back. read more

For our anniversary, we decided we wanted to do omakase but not pay a ridiculous price in the city. We found this place solely for its great reviews and decided to trust them. It was simply amazing. The fish quality was one of the best, if not the best we've tried. Not only that, but the different selections of fish and the order they were served were so well thought out. The sushi chef was also as engaged as you wanted him to be, not too much but willing to answer all our questions. I could not recommend enough. read more

Incredible chef and staff. Amazing sushi. Very approachable yet elevated experience. Truly a great place.

I stopped by for lunch when I was actually headed to another sushi restaurant a few blocks away. Hands down one of the best sushi I have had in the city especially for the price range. I ordered 10pc omakase, and add-on individual sushi pieces including Zuke, Seared Salmon, and Ikura. Each sushi was prepared delicately with perfect seasoning in a way to enhance the quality of fish. I also liked that this place has few different price tiers (Lunch sushi starts from 30 something and Omakase starts from 50). Definitely recommended for those looking for authentic quality sushi within a reasonable price read more

Excellent fresh sushi made by excellent sushi chef. We had omakase and brought sake. Very happy to have them in the neighborhood! Will be back! read more

I love this place! It looks like a gleaming aquarium with the all-glass exterior while you walk by Hudson. The Omakase bar is straight forward yet elegant. You can either dine quietly at the bar or have a chat with the friendly Chef Weiping about each fish if thats your thing. For the price, I don't think there's lot of places that can offer the kind of ambience, service and casual cool dress-down comfort of this place. Just effortless no-nonsense Omakase with exquisite quality and panache! And the service is really really attentive. I don't think I filled my wine glass once by myself. I can't wait to be back. read more

Got take out from this place and while it was pricy it was worth every penny. The nigiri is absolutely perfectly done. Perfect amount of rice and perfect amount of fish. I hate it when nigiri gets so large it's impossible to eat in a non messy way. And lots of great, sometimes hard to find varieties like iwashi! There were perfect bites of absolute delight! I would have wanted to post pics but it was so delicious I couldn't wait! Highly recommend for discerning sushi lovers!! read more

I am blown away by how awful the staff was at this place. My friends had been several times and raved about how incredible the sushi is (it is great). The restaurant is currently BYOB and there is the cutest little liquor store across the street which is amazing. We picked up a bottle of white wine and headed over. At first things were going well - everyone ordered two rolls and we enjoyed our wine and hung out. We were about an hour into our reservation and had literally JUST finished eating when the server came over - literally whispered in our friends ear that "she checked her computer and we had been in the restaurant for three hours." We we're all so confused because it had literally been an hour - not even an hour and a half? I get it - most places have a 90 min limit which we didn't even reach but the blatant disrespect was beyond me. There are SO many other sushi places that I will not be returning nor will the rest of us. read more
