I'm so excited they finally opened a location in the east village!!! The sushi hand rolls are always fresh, my favorites are the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and then I leave the third one up to chance. Service cheerful as ever and ready to recommend base on what you feeling today. They feel bigger than the west village location which is a plus! Can't wait until it's warmer to eat outside here otherwise they have some standing room. Would highly recommend this place for everyone!

So I stumbled on this gem of a place while meeting a friend in the city. I was early for our rendezvous and also quite hungry, so I looked to see what was in the area. I saw this cute, quaint space that advertised three rolls for $ 12. I stepped inside, where there was a countertop and a pretty table with 2 seats by the door. This place is mainly for take-out, which was fine by me, but I was able to snag a seat. I decided to go for the tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, and the Volcan,o which is crab with spicy mayo. I decided to add the Yuzu Lemonade because Yuzu, of course! Everything was very delicious and very fulfilling. I absolutely loved the Yuzu Lemonade and would get it again. I absolutely love the cute condiments with the single use soy sauce and wasabi. I just loved the vibe of the space. This spot feels like a neighborhood gem, as I saw many people coming in for takeout. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.

Sushi counter was so cute! They have a nice little display of all their rolls with vegetarian, pescatarian, and meat options. They have a 3 roll special for $12 and the cutest little soy sauce dripper. Service was super nice and patient as we were deciding on what to order and the rolls themselves were super tasty! I'm not a huge spicy tuna person, but I ended up liking the spicy tuna the best! They don't have a lot of seating, but they do have a small counter with 3 chairs and a few small tables outside as well. Definitely a great on-the-go snack or quick meal!

I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

They are always respectable, listen to your needs, help you find whatever you need. 10 out of 10 best food in the neighborhood. I always come here for the sea urchin and salmon roe/caviar - and it has yet to be beat. It's so good! One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

The last time I was in NYC I grabbed two omakase and one Everything don from Shinn East, so figured…read morethis time I might as well try their sister restaurant, Sanyuu West! They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

Came for takeout and got the Salmon Set which includes 8 huuuuge salmon nigiri for $30. You'll…read moredefinitely want to share this one. The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

The servers were pretty attentive and funny, they'd check on us regularly, somehow managing to convince us to get even more items based on what we liked. As a big fan of seafood, I really enjoyed the Scallop Uni Butter Scallop and the Shishamo Fritters. A lot of the items didn't feel heavy which is always a plus with Izakayas, and allowed us to order and try even more items on the menu. Definitely the perfect place to come with a group of friends after work !
