You can tell this japanese spot is legit when the chefs and staff are all japanese. It just gives you confidence in both the food and the service right away. Sushi Beauu is located in midtown right at the Empire State Building. During the day, they serve japanese breakfast and lunch sets like onigiri, udon, and kaisen don. At night, the space transforms into a more upscale omakase experience, which also says a lot about the quality of their sashimi and the chef's craftsmanship ＊Japanese Omelet Set $20 (Ikura +$6) They're best known for their tamagoyaki set, and they make the omelet fresh right in front of you. The layers were super thin and delicate, with a light dashi flavor in every bite. Definitely add the ikura. It gives it a nice pop of umami. The side dishes were just as thoughtful. The miso soup was possibly the best I've ever had, packed with daikon and carrots, and felt homey, especially good with a little sesame oil. ＊Bara Chirashi Bowl $40 It came in a really elegant bento box, topped with a mix of sashimi, tamagoyaki cubes, and ikura. They also give you an aged soy sauce that's a bit sweeter and more umami than regular soy sauce. ＊Mini Sashimi Plate $12 The fish changes depending on what's in season. We got salmon and bluefin tuna. Both super fresh, buttery, and not too fatty. A little pricey for the portion though. read more

My colleague and I stopped by for a weekday lunch, and it was pretty quiet inside. We sat at the sushi bar, where we were able to watch the chefs prepare our rolls right in front of us. Both the server and the sushi chefs were extremely polite and welcoming, which made for a very pleasant experience. The sushi was quite fresh, and the soup that came with the meal was absolutely delicious, I really enjoyed it. The lunch special is also a great value, making it an easy choice for a midday meal. The restaurant itself was bright, spacious, and had a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu. read more

Cute sushi restaurant in the Empire State Building. Sushi Beauu leans on the more traditional side of things, with a menu seemingly pulled straight from Japan. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with different menus for each. I understand they even opened up an omakase offering. The sushi here was traditional and high quality. They offered a couple cuts that you usually wouldn't see from a place like this. I got the set sushi lunch which was a pretty good value for the price. Service was quick and attentive. Worth to check out if you're in the area. read more

Sushi Beauu - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Overall: C // 3 stars Restaurant in Manhattan focusing on Japanese breakfast, which is a food category in which I greatly enjoy. Unfortunately, I just found it to be quite mid and pricey for the content. (Salmon Ikura Don: C) - Aesthetic Japanese breakfast, but unfortunately I don't think there's much substance to the bowl as there are only about five slices of salmon and 2 ounces of ikura for $38. At this price point, other restaurants offer either higher quality fish that is glisteningly fresh and/or in higher quantities.

Really yummy and affordable Japanese breakfast set! They make the omelette fresh in front of you and it is perfectly sweet and fluffy. I also loved the side of veggies, perfectly cooked rice, and miso soup! Would highly recommend adding the salmon roe to the side for an additional $4, it tastes perfect with the rice. read more

6/5 stars - I dined alone on Friday evening after attempting 2 other sushi restaurants for dinner. However when I called Sushi Beauu, there seems to be the last spot just calling my name! I was greeted pleasantly by everyone and sat at the sushi counter (my favorite place to be). During this time the restaurant was providing a complimentary yellowtail (Buri) nigiri and sake to customers to learn about Toyama! Mmmm!!! It was so delicious. I proceeded to order the "chef sushi 5 set plate" which came with sea bream, salmon, fatty tuna, tuna and shrimp. Wasabi and ginger were fresh and had a bit of a kick! I followed that meals with some miso soup and paired it with the first sake that was on the menu. I wish I took a picture of what it was called! I loved it and want to know! Overall, fish really melted in your mouth and especially coming from Seattle where i tend to brag we have amazingly fresh, high quality fish! But Sushi Beauu is up there! The miso was one of the best I've had with tofu skin, daikon and carrots. The sushi was so good I even ordered an extra order of sea bream nigiri to finish my night! Although service was a bit lacking at the start (not provided chopstick rest, wet nap or napkin but staff was quick to notice and provide amazing service! Chef Remi was so kind and made my night. she was thankful for my patience and checked in to make sure I was enjoying my meal. It really touched me and made me feel so welcomed. I even received a complimentary rice cracker snack for the road! So sweet. I can't wait to come back and bring others to experience the food, service and ambience of Sushi Beauu. My hats are off to the incredible chefs, managemenf and staff! Arigato. read more

sushi Beauu is located at the Empire State Building, offering morning onigiri and a morning menu, in addition to a lunch set (aka, Empire LUNCH). We picked up: +the Chicken Rice onigiri - prepared with a simmered Fukuoka-style chicken with burdock root, carrots, soy sauce, and sugar +a Mentaiko - filled with a spicy cod roe +a Beef Shigureni onigiri - prepared with simmered beef in a housemade sweet soy glaze, onions, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar I would be interested in returning and trying out their lunch sets, such as the kaisen don (with sashimi over sushi rice). The menu itself is cute and simplistic, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A great stop for a snack or a meal, if you're in the area. +onigiris +lunch sets available +friendly staff & service +located at the Empire State Building read more

It was my kid who first noticed this wonderful, intimate little restaurant at the foot of the Empire State Building as we were hurrying past. We stopped in for takeout rice balls, which were exquisite and delicious. He had the beef, and I had the salmon, both of which were warm and a perfect balance of umami, starch and salt. We've returned for takeout but will have to stop by and sample some of their other menu offerings, which look absolutely fantastic. The service was lovely, too, with the host offering us a table to wait for our to-go order. read more

Sushi Beauu can be easily missed, but it is tucked inside the first floor of the Empire Stare building. Staff were super welcoming and they only serve breakfast onigiris and cute lunch sets for now. Love the open kitchen concept because you can see the chefs work their magic. Cant wait to come back again to try their omakase. read more

What an amazing time! Chef and server were phenomenal. Sushi was good, fair for the price. Highballs were well done and beer was crisp. Felt like I was in Tokyo. Great experience. read more

The space and setup at Sushi Beauu is pretty nice. The sushi and sashimi are pretty decent, but pricier than I'd expect. The lunch combos are okay and would benefit if more variety or flexibility is permitted. read more

We dined for dinner on 12/3. Reasonably priced for quality fish but very shitty and hostile service. Id wish we left and ate at Mc Donald's. The service ruined our experience. When asked about "assorted fish", was responded with "if you can read... it says on the menu... assorted fish. That's what you will get" Very rude and condescending on multiple accounts. Clarified by asking what kind of fish and he said "luxurious"... ok .. but what kinds? Also asked for no wasabi due to a severe allergy and he says "I don't think we have that" and proceeds to serve the kaisen bowl with wasabi. When addressed, he hands us a spoon to "figure it out"... ok... We also ordered botan ebi "sashimi" but it was served cooked. When asked about this, server was defensive and said "when have you had it raw" and I responded "100% of the time in both New York and Japan" and he says "well too bad, this is how we do it here. This is not Japan" And we said "Sashimi is raw, it is under the sashimi section on your menu." He then asked if we still wanted it and we agreed to have it removed and to our surprise, he responded "too bad. You ordered it" and left the table. It's comical and hard to believe that these were the exact words spoken. Rude, dismissive, argumentative, and extremely poor hospitality. It didn't help that he was often hovering over our table and eavesdropping on our conversations while our glasses were empty. Weird. Then he would loudly talk about us to the other patrons and chefs for us to hear. It was truly awful and difficult to enjoy. We did not have a good time. Rather disturbing and disgusting attitude for a human. Despite the delicious meal, we will NEVER return nor recommend this restaurant to my locals nor tourists. read more

If you're searching for an authentic Japanese dining experience that feels like a trip straight to Tokyo, Beauu Sushi in the Empire State Building is it. From the moment you sit at the intimate wooden counter, you're treated not just to incredible food, but to genuine Japanese hospitality that's increasingly rare to find. The star of the meal was the tamagoyaki--a perfectly layered, slightly sweet Japanese omelet, made right before my eyes. Watching the chef expertly roll each delicate layer on the tamago pan was mesmerizing, and the result was unbelievably light, fluffy, and flavorful. Paired with freshly grated daikon, a steaming bowl of miso soup, and a side of perfectly cooked rice, it felt like a true home-style Japanese breakfast prepared with care. Every side dish was spot-on: from the crisp pickled vegetables to the small bites of salmon roe and seasoned greens. The ingredients tasted fresh and balanced, never overpowering, letting each flavor shine on its own. The setting is cozy and authentic--minimalist yet warm, with the chef personally preparing dishes just a few feet away. You can tell this place prioritizes craftsmanship and authenticity over flash. It's the kind of restaurant where time slows down, and every bite reminds you of the beauty of simple, well-prepared food. Whether you're a sushi lover or just appreciate authentic Japanese cuisine, Beauu Sushi is an unforgettable culinary experience that captures the essence of Japan right in the heart of New York City. read more

A companion and I had omakase here on a recent weekend and we were both very happy. At the beginning of the meal, I requested that the meal include no mackerel and no eel, and the sushi chef honored both requests. At least one of the appetizers would have included mackerel but the chef substituted sea bream. We had the $140 Omakase Seasonal, which comes with 3 appetizers+11 Nigiri +2 rolls + a miso soup + dessert. This is what I remember our meal including. The appetizers were a kind of bun-shaped item that I think had monkfish liver; a custard soup dish; and a miso black cod. The cod was the best of those. The nigiri were: - two different salmon items - tuna - barracuda (which was a substitute for one of the fish I didn't want) - yellowtail - sea bream - salmon roe - uni (a HUGE helping) - scallop - tamago - and I must be forgetting one The rolls were: - a slice of a giant roll that seemed to contain (guessing) salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and avocado - a shrimp tempora wrapped in a seaweed sheet (at least I'm guessing that this counted as a roll, not an appetizer -- either way, it was delicious. The dessert was a cube of brule'd sweet potato. Just ok. There is a $100 omakase option that includes 2 fewer appetizers, one fewer nigiri, and no dessert. With 20-20 hindsight, I think we would have enjoyed that meal just as much, and saved $40 each. The menu includes non-alcoholic Sapporo, something I have never seen before. Turns out, I actually prefer it to regular Sapporo (which is not on the menu here), plus it has something like half the calories. So that was a good find. We enjoyed our meal a lot. There was plenty of food too. I will definitely include this place on my omakase rotation, but next time, I'm going to try the $100 regular omakase. Note: There were very few people in the restaurant when we were there, even though it was a weekend and relatively close to prime dining time. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe the one-star reviews here have driven others away. I saw some December reviews commenting on bad service from a server named Robert. Our sushi chef was a male, but he was relatively freshly in from Japan (where he owns a sushi restaurant of his own in Hiroshima), so I'm pretty sure his name is not Robert. All the other servers we saw were female, so perhaps Robert no longer works there? Anyway, I didn't ask, but our service was very good. read more

Really enjoyed my breakfast set here. Fully omelet. Great miso soup. I upgraded and added the roe, making the whole breakfast extra special. The staff was extremely welcoming and nice. The place wasn't busy at all but probably will be when more people discover it's mid-town, in the Empire State Building! read more

Dined here with friends last week. The food was of decent quality. The service and hospitality was some of the worst I've had and was disturbing, coming from a place marketing itself as a "authentic Japanese" restaurant. Most of my complaints come from the server himself, who was often inattentive, unhelpful, inflexible and borderline hostile at times even when asked the most simple and reasonable of requests. His name was Robert. When asked fairly reasonable questions about certain menu items, such as "do you know what kinds of fish are on the kaisen bowl?" or "how does the deluxe bowl differ from the basic kaisen bowl" ( I think a reasonable question for a $70 rice bowl), he frequently became irritable/inpatient and basically questioned our ability to read the menu. He gave us vague answers, and did not seem knowledgeable about the menu or the types of fish they serve. Despite this, we were very patient and decided to give the $65 deluxe kaisen bowls a try along with other appetizers. When ordering the kaisen dons, we requested no wasabi. The waiter said, "i dont think they serve them with wasabi." When the bowls came, they came with a mound of wasabi in the middle. It was clear our concerns/basic requests were not communicated to the chef/kitchen. When letting the waiter know that there was in our dish, he brushed off our concerns and became visible irritated. He came back with spoons and said " here, you can handle it."..... thanks I guess. The fish and rice was of decent quality. Later on, we were still hungry, we decided to order some ala carte sashimi. One of our favorite sashimi is botan ebi. We had a party of 3. On the menu it is listed as 2 pieces for $20. I asked the waiter if since we had a party of 3, and the ordering was ala carte, could we do 3 pieces for $30. Clearly irritated, he immediately said no, almost as if I asked him the most ridiculous question in the world. I said okay its fine. We will just order 2 orders (4 pieces total, $40). When the botan ebi came, we were surprised to see that the shrimp was cooked. We politely asked the waiter why our order of sashimi was cooked. He immediately became defensive and started questioning us. He first questioned us asking, "how many times in NYC have you had botan ebi raw?" Unprompted, in unison and unanimously, our table said, "everytime" lol. I have probably had botan ebi sashimi in NYC upwards of 20 times. I've always had it raw. Taken aback the waiter said, " well too bad, this isnt japan." He said " do you not want this order," we calmly said, " no this isn't what we ordered or were expecting." The waiter replied " too bad this is what you get." We left it on the table and did not eat it. The waiter clearly lacks insight. Minutes later he comes by to offer us dessert. At this point we were still taken aback and surprised by the unhospitable treatment from our waiter. We received our checks and paid for the bill leaving our cooked botan ebi "sashimi" on the table. Our bill came out to $390 for 3 people. When you pay a premium for food, you expect at least basic service and to be treated politely. If you advertise $10 a piece of "botan ebi sashimi", you best know i am paying for raw high quality seafood, not boiled shrimp. If you as a server in the food industry cannot comprehend that, then you should not be working in this role. Overall, the food was decent, but this was the worst service I've ever had during a dining experience. The server was frequently irritated to simple questions, lacked hospitality and was hostile at times. The management should consider removing him from his role before he loses more business for this relatively new restaurant. Even if the food was the best food in the world, it would not make up for the negative experience we had with the server, Robert. read more

I'm shocked the reviews are mediocre. I just the most amazing experience. My friend and I reserved the omakase online. It is hands down one of my favorite omakase meals!
