    Omakase at Sushi Lin is a beloved Good Friday tradition that never ceases to amaze! The attention to detail, precise craftsmanship, inventiveness, and outstanding balance of the sushi is superb - from old favorites like the toro with uni, caviar & gold leaf, to new creations like baby white shrimp.

    CS is fantastic, ambiance so, so, food excellent. I would definitely go back on my next visit to Brooklyn. Limited seating, definitely make reservations.

    Sushi Dinner

    We came here on a Thursday night for a birthday dinner. We made a reservation beforehand for 7:15PM but could've walked in. I don't recommend it though because shortly after we were seated, it did get very crowded. 4/5 ordered the full omakase ($120) which came with 3 appetizers, 1 sashimi plate, 9 pieces of sushi and 1 hand roll and dessert. Since there were a few dishes I didn't like in the full omakase, I opted for the sushi dinner. Overall, it was a very relaxed setting and I would recommend coming here. The fish was fresh and the service was fast.

    Made a reservation for a Saturday night and had a great dinner here! My boyfriend and I each ordered the sushi dinner (sashimi + roll + miso soup) and it was really good. Standouts were some incredible tuna and salmon. Overall I thought it was a great value and I will return for their omakase at the bar. 4.5 stars.

    I've heard that Sushi Lin was the best sushi in prospect heights and ... the rumor is true, y'all. Wanted a low-key bday celebration this year for my birthday tonight and Sushi Lin didn't disappoint. The ambience gives off local neighborhood restaurant but the food is where the magic lies. We started with two regular sushi rolls: spicy salmon and spicy scallop roll. Both were impeccably fresh and mimicked the sort of freshness I experienced when traveling through Japan. The fish is melt in your mouth delicious. For dinner, I got a sushi combo dinner that came with sashimi, 5 piece sushi and a roll, all chosen by the sushi chefs. This was divine as well. The menu is simple. But every piece of fish I had was seriously bursting with flavor. So if you're a fan of high-quality sushi and sashimi, you'll love it here.

    My full omakase experience at Sushi Lin was nothing short of amazing! For $120, the tasting included three appetizers, one sashimi plate, nine pieces of sushi, one handroll, and a dessert. The place appears to be a neighborhood favorite because it was fairly busy on a Tuesday night. Glad we made a reservation at the sushi bar. I enjoyed every item from the tasting and that doesn't happen often. The quality of the fish was fresh, with toppings that complemented each piece quite well. Some honorable mentions include the Kumamoto oyster, hamachi with shishito peppers, wagyu with uni and caviar, truffle salmon, botan ebi, and A5 wagyu. The tofu pudding with brown sugar was a great way to end the meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

    It's a nice sushi spot and I may probably come back once. I liked the atmosphere inside. It's cool that you can sit at the counter and watch people cooking for you, but you need to make a reservation beforehand. It's good that they have a different sized Omakase, so you can still enjoy it even if you are short on budget or not that hungry, it's just good to have options. Unfortunately, all my Omakase were made with lots of wasabi. Wasabi is usually added to Omakase, but in this case it was so much that I couldn't actually taste the fish. All in all, the fish was fresh, the atmosphere was nice, the service was ok.

    Wonderful experience thanks to the chef! I really enjoyed our pieces of sushi and the delicious appetizers. Unfortunately I have to dock off a few points because of personal experience. The beginning was a little rocky. I'm sure this wasn't too big of a deal but we came for our reservation at the sushi bar and we were the first ones at the restaurant. It was completely empty except for us, but they insisted that we sit in the very back where nobody could see us and it was very dark. After asking if we'd be able to be seated at the bar for our omakase, they seemed apprehensive but let us sit there with a time limit. In the end, I did enjoy the food a lot! I just didn't feel the most welcomed at the beginning.

    Baby white shrimp, Caviar. Sweetest bite, lovely.

    Feasted on their Full Omakase. Memorable for its thoughtful progression. I've had a lot of omakase & I was delighted to find a number of bites truly unique and innovative. The Chef & staff were fantastic. Great Sake menu. I got a picture of everything except a salad, one salmon sushi with tomato & the final hand roll of tuna with (I think) pickles. I tried to label the pictures as best I could, but it really was the various finishing sauces that set the meal apart. Everything was obviously very fresh, and the chef nailed texture temperature & flavors. I thought it was absolutely worth the price. It is the best Omakase I've had in Brooklyn. My favorite in NYC is Tanoshi on the UES, this came very close.

    I get the hype. Sushi is super fresh and delicious here, and decently priced (not cheap nor expensive). If I lived closer this would probably be my designated sushi spot. I've only tried the sushi dinner ($37) but would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Absolutely loveeed Sushi Lin!! Got reservation for a party of 2 on a Friday for 6:30pm. We were seated right away. It is a very small restaurant and you would not expect much by the looks of it. We went to celebrate our birthday. We both got the full omakase for $100. This comes with: 4 appetizer samplers: - 3 types of oysters - Yuzu red snapper sashimi - Kanpachi jalapeno - Squid, tuna, hamachi 8pc Sushi + 1 Handroll - uni toro toast - kanpachi - uni - tuna truffle - seared otoro, uni, caviar - botan - king salmon with charred tomato - tuna & scallion handroll - hokkaido scallop My two favorites were the seared otoro topped with uni & caviar, and the tuna truffle! We each got an additional piece of both!! Everything was fresh and high quality. Dessert - whiskey cake with green tea ice cream. Usually it's sesame pudding but they graciously accommodated my sesame allergy and substituted it with whiskey cake instead No doubt would come back again for a special occasion. Although there wasn't much interaction with the chefs, I didn't mind it all too much because I really enjoyed the flavors of the sushi. However, if you're looking for an interactive vibe, go to "Sushi on Me" in Jackson heights queens, ny.

    Salmon, Tuna and some other stuff.

    Even though this place has blown up on Yelp, I still consider it a bit of a sleeper hit! Sushi Lin is a small unpretentious sushi bar that manages to marry serious A grade flavor. The quality for the price you pay is honestly the biggest bang for your buck out here. Go for the Omakase- you won't regret it! You can't go wrong with the menu either and definitely make a reservation due to this place being so popular now!

    I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday dinner (he's always wanted to do omakase) and it was great! He was able to do the full omakase and I ordered 2 rolls and the pork gyoza. It was awesome! He loved the omakase experience, my dishes were delicious and the service was amazing. 10/10 recommend!!

    One of the worst omakase I've ever had. Food was very fishy, not fresh at all and when brought up to the staff they brushed it off.

    Ask the Community - Sushi Lin Brooklyn

    Is Resy the only way to make a reservation? I have been checking and they never have any reservations available on Resy.

    I usually call & they have a last minute spot open for my party of 2 at the sushi counter

    Are they doing takeout orders now?

    I think they are open. Passed by this weekend and saw chefs inside working and a sign outside that says open at 5pm

    Is it still BYOB?

    Sorry no

    How long does full omakase take?

    It’s need 1 hours to 2.5 hours. Depends how many people and how busy we are. Thank you

    Do u still have live uni today?

    Yes we do

Everything was delicious, hot and it was delivered quickly. The prices are up there however the food is worth it . I ordered a ramen bowl with the corn ribs.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

    While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

    Izakaya Tenzo is a welcome addition to the BedStuy food scene. They'd been on my radar for a while…read moreand we stopped in on a Saturday evening when we wanted dinner but not anything too heavy. This fit the bill exactly. We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
