Unfortunately, I wouldn't know what's great about this restaurant. We had reservations to come in and when we got there, we were told that the kitchen was closed before the kitchen was supposed to be closed. My poor girl was celebrating her birthday and the wait staff was extremely rude. On top of everything, I wasn't able to make a reservation anywhere else because it showed I was supposed to be dining at their establishment. If you're going to close early- don't take reservations! Beware! We traveled 30 minutes to get there without a call or text saying don't come. The sign outside said OPEN. read more

SUSHIDELIC - The Open Sign - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

What a fun and unique place! The hostess is dressed to match the hanging feline decor. Lighting is dark and the conveyor belt is used only to send out specific orders. It's not like regular conveyor belt sushi. The sushi tower was excellent for two people. The sushi was unique, fresh and creative. Our favorite was the Wagyu beef and uni. Outstanding. Service was incredibly attentive and accurate. They are also super friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms were also a unique experience. The music was loud, but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. We were there on a weeknight and were the only customers there. It's a really fun experience with great food. Remember to tip well. read more

We stopped in after some Saturday shopping for brunch and realized it was pop up day. There was a dj performing and the ambiance is really astonishing. Bright colorful fun and the trolley of treats food and coctails! We tried sesame rice crispy treats and milk bread sammies with strawberry whip and kiwi. The flavor dichotomy was great sweet and soft to crispy and savory. I tried a lavender martini that packed a punch. Wish we had access to a full menu but the whimsy of the spot was delightful read more

Was not really a fan of this restaurant. They are much more about the vibe and ambiance than the food. We went for lunch and there was nobody there so it was quiet for us. But the pricing was quite expensive. I got the spicy tuna roll which came with 5 pieces. It was mostly filled with rice and was topped with a little bit of sushi, not enough for me. the potato salad tasted a little fishy for my taste as well. I don't eat that much but I was not full with this meal. If you enjoy good vibes and picturesque presentation, I recommend going at night for the full experience. Our server was super sweet and cute, but was wearing sleeves that were getting all over the table when they reached over and it made it hard for them to serve everything. read more

WORST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD!! tldr; it feels like this place is run by white people FOR white people, WITHOUT any regard for actual japanese culture. this place should cease to exist unless management/ownership is improved or changed. the entire time we were in there, it seemed as if they were catering to a white family/critiques who's entire list of suggestions was based on how to add to an already overstimulating place rather than actually improve on their food. i.e., "i'm thinking it would be really cool if you added a photobooth where people can use quarters and take pictures!" i didn't want to believe the 1-star reviews at first, but they are so right. the "ambiance" is okay if that's what you're into, but it was honestly overstimulating for me. the second we walked in, something seemed off so we immediately played it safe and just ordered one dish with the intention of leaving asap & getting sushi/the rest of our meal elsewhere. the food: came on a conveyer belt (which is nothing new) that was filled with decorations to the point where the waiter said "sometimes the food looks like the decorations and i don't want you to eat that on accident" ... ??? the food plate itself (as pictured) was unpleasing to the eye and it was clearly falling apart. we couldn't tell what the yellow liquidy "sauce" was but it was definitely weird- on top of the pink rice and pink seaweed/rice paper (?) on the outside. the salmon did not seem to be of good quality. the best part was literally the roe (salmon eggs) on top. overall, this "experience" was not worth the $20 we paid for 6 pieces of "sushi" one word: disgusting read more

Cool place if you're here to take pictures. That's about it. It seems like there was only one bartender staffing the whole place which is very understaffed for the size of the bar/restaurant, and drinks took a while to come out. Drinks were alright but pricy at 17-18 a cocktail. The food takes a decent bit of time to come out, and they forgot part of our order. It wasn't on the receipt, but still disappointing. We got the Sushi Tower which was a good amount of food for 2 people. The really annoying thing is that there is a conveyor belt, but it's rarely used for food. When your order is ready, a server tries to catch your attention and then puts the food on the conveyor, and it passes by you. It was insanely confusing because there's no signage or no way to tell who's food is who's until we asked for clarification. I wish they put a little sign with a name or something in front of the food, because the experience felt very disjointed. The quality was firmly meh. It's worse than just about every omakase place I've been to (even the ~$50 for 12 course places in NY), and the wagyu in the wagyu piece was cold (even though it appeared torched). Not a good sign if they pre-torch all the pieces ahead of time. If I wanted something fancy, I'd go to an omakase place, and if I wanted normal sushi, I'd go get normal sushi. read more

We were definitely here for the ambience and decor. The place is funky chic and weird in a good/fun way, the service was top notch (did I mention the incredible outfits!?) and the food was very good. Initially, I didn't have very high expectations out of this place other than a fun night out with friends, but I will say the quality of the food was great and higher quality than I expected, and we all really enjoyed the dinner here. Can't say the conveyer belt was really my thing since your food could come on the conveyer belt but you have to order it, and what passes through otherwise is decor items... (I feel like you can do SO much more with that belt... and get super creative with the dishes themselves) but I have to say the food was great, the happy hour sake was nice, and though there wasn't an abundance of gluten-free options, there were enough to make a great meal out of. Definitely a fun place to bring groups of people to, will be back! read more

It is a smaller space than I expected (3 tables of 4 and some bar seating). While the kawaii aesthetic is fun and colorful, it definitely gives off a younger vibe. Probably great for a young girl's birthday. There were two hosts dressed up and one server (she was great). We were there for lunch on Sushi Sunday. The seaweed salad was a nice size with different types of seaweed and edible flowers (ours didn't have tomatoes); very pretty and refreshing. I got the wasabi avocado eel roll, which was gorgeous to look and decent enough to eat. My partner got the special salmon roll (I think?, either that or the Toro Taku Roll), which had some really nice crunch from the veggies. The drinks were really good: the Saketini and Boozy Yuzu were both on the lighter side (not the pour) and very refreshing. Overall not a place for gourmands, but decent enough sushi with a playful atmosphere. I'm not crazy about the decor, but probably great for a kid's birthday party. Service and food are decent enough. read more

The vibe was fun and whimsical, the food was delicious and fresh. The sake was great. We took our 4 year old son who loves sushi and the environment was perfect for him. He stayed entertained the entire time between the decor and the conveyer belt. Service was fantastic as well- they were attentive and thorough. Would recommend if you want sushi with a fun environment. Super kid friendly, but great for adults. Music was great. read more

SUSHIDELIC - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

That is an absolutely fascinating transition. I've been dining for many, may years, which means I had the privilege of seeing "Cats" when I was very tiny. I think the Warholesque giant ceiling hangings and other gorgeously, perfectly garish pieces of mobile and immobile art were fascinating. The hostess was beyond reproach, and Chef Sebastian Masuda - Of our three cocktails and two perfect scratch sushi entrees (made because we had a special off-menu dietary request) - I've seldom been more impressed. I'm not a sushi expert, but due almost entirely to the luck of growing up in Teaneck, I had the pleasure of trying Wild Ginger in Englewood, with Chef Yoshiharu Suzuki. I think it's been - fifteen years? - since that night, and that's the last time I've had sushi this perfectly, simply, beautifully prepared. read more

I was excited because it exhibits art from Sebastian Masuda but otherwise it was very mediocre sushi restaurant which for the price tag it was horrendous. The decor obviously was very Instagram worthy and looked beautiful, but the food when served did not match the ambiance at all. The plating looked like they just threw the fish onto dish. The food itself well I could of bought better stuff at Whole Foods and saved myself 85 dollars. It really wasn't conveyor belt sushi either because you could only pick up for the stuff you ordered not like in real conveyor belt sushi places where its continuous and you pick as many plates as you want. The service was alright nothing extraordinary nor memorable but the host had a really neat costume on to greet guests. I'd say it's a hard skip if you want to eat here but take photos of the inside decor if you can somehow. read more

The service was amazing, the food was great and it's just such a great vibe. Not sure why people are hating, we love coming here and it's definitely alot of fun! I love that they are trying new things and the desserts are out of this world! Give it a shot you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Popped in with my friends to check out NYCs first Kawaii Cafe. I've been to their sister restaurant Little Monster Cafe in Tokyo years ago and I loved it. So happy they opened here. It's a very cute, small and colorful sushi spot on Lafayette street. Staff was also dressed Kawaii style. Reservations are full so we didn't get a chance to eat yet but I give it 5 stars on presentation! Can't wait to go back! read more

If you're a TikTok influencer from Philadelphia, you might think this place is worth a photo. Otherwise, it's the type of spot that belongs on 42nd Street--gimmicky in a bad way, with subpar sushi and service to match. The sushi wasn't fresh, the presentation was bad, and the sauces were downright awful. The decor might seem fun from a distance, but up close, it looks like everything was bought at Toys "R" Us--cheap and tacky. This would all be somewhat forgivable if the prices were reasonable, but for some reason, they charge like it's fine dining. Honestly, anyone living in SoHo or Tribeca wouldn't be caught dead here. No surprise, everyone we spoke to at the bar was a tourist. Do your stomach a favor and pass... read more

I wish I loved this spot but unfortunately they have a lot of kinks to work out as they're still fairly new. Overall the food was good, but felt overpriced for what we ate and for the long wait times. The waitress apologized at every course because they were so far behind. There's a lovely palette of sauces that we didn't get until the 4th course which was very unfortunate. The cocktails were tasty and the bartender was very quick. The inside has fun decor but feels more like a fast casual spot than a restaurant that charges $85 and $95 omakase menus. Also, only the first course came out on the conveyor belt. It's really just for show which was disappointing. It took us 2 hours to get through 6 course (one being dessert). Overall the food was tasty but not worth the money or the wait. It was fun to do once but I will not be returning. read more

85 dollars for an omakase style "conveyer belt" sushi??? Sounds like a scam. - THE EXPERIENCE - I love Sebastian Masuda's restaurants and love the concept but this was poorly executed. Maybe because my experience wasn't as what I expected because his design concept is very over the top but just wanted to re-iterate that I feel like it's only like that if you sit at the sushi counter. We wanted either that or at least a better table but there was only a table by the door. We waited for the hostess to help grab a new table or the sushi counter for us and this table was the only table in the sunlight while everyone was closer towards the back where you feel the experience. Even though she said she was trying her best I felt like there should be no issue asking someone to move 1 seat over for us. Tons of restaurants in New York does this to accommodate experiences and I felt like we waited 30 minutes to sit at the same table we didn't want. We were the only ones in sunlight right next to the door where people were coming in. I felt like if we got the proper experience being near the sushi counter this review would have been higher because I wanted to be at the conveyer belt. As a "conveyer belt" restaurant this isn't really one because nobody received their items through the conveyer belt. - THE FOOD - We got a set of "paint" and the sauces were not bad but personally for me I don't feel like using any while eating sushi so for me it was cute but not really necessary. The macaron sushi idea is cute but the macaron itself was very stale and not an actual macaron. Just a piece of thing that looked like one. It's supposed to be fluffy when biting into it. I should have just picked the fish off and ate it. Our second plate we had an option of salmon or hamachi and we all went with salmon but the salmon was half cooked which I didn't understand??? I thought sashimi is just raw and fresh... I didn't understand why it was half cooked (see photo) Our third plate was with 4 different sushi's and all of them weren't that great except for the one on the left which had fried rice and I thought that one tasted somewhat innovative with the spicy mayo. I just didn't understand why I needed imitation crab for a 85 dollar course meal because I always believed imitation crab was used for cheaper end sushi. I know this is only for looks but the imitation crab piece didn't even look fun or cool. If you go with the concept at least continue it on properly. The next plate was the fried veggie and shrimp which wasn't bad. But I could sense some sarcasm from the waitress about the matcha salt so it sort of left us feeling a little weird throughout the experience. The chirashi parfait wasn't bad but this was the only point in the course where I felt like I'm eating raw fish. And possibly only 3 pieces.... The rest was rice underneath. The dessert course was ok. The ice cream isn't that sweet which is fine and the other two wasn't that memorable but yuzu rice Krispy wasn't bad. - CONCLUSION - We didn't have the best time in this experience and didn't feel that the restaurant gave us a proper conveyer belt sushi experience that was cool and unique. Instead we should have just spent our money at an actual omakase. We wouldn't pay more than 10-20 dollars for what we ate and my suggestion would be to just turn this into a non alcoholic bar with no food because at least that would be cool to look around and maybe you'll receive more customers that way. Nobody wants to pay 85 dollars for mediocre sushi. Because the alcohol content was low according to the waitress because they haven't received a full liquor license yet. Which I appreciated her saying that before we ordered a drink. read more

So excited to have tried this spot on the day of opening. I was greeted by the host that was dressed very cool, Tokyo style. Despite being fully booked for reservations she was able to squeeze me in at the bar. This place is instagram worthy! They have a conveyor belt displaying art by Sebastian and it even brings out a few dishes and drinks from the menu. The presentation of dishes were stellar and colorful. Some dishes lacked flavor. The dishes looked great but tasted rather simple/plain. The drinks were beautiful, but not boozy. They could have been a little stronger. The service however was absolutely amazing. My server Jandora was awesome . She explained everything to me on the menu in detail. She took my photos and checked back often . She definitely added to making the entire experience awesome. I will say you must got for the experience, geat awesome content and enjoy a dinner art experience. read more

SUSHIDELIC - Chirashi Parfait - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Hilariously bad tourist trap. For starters, we were the first people in the door at 12pm for lunch and the place was gross. What type of a restaurant, serving sushi no less, doesn't even the clean the floor from the night before? (See pics) Everybody gets an option of miso soup or three "small bites" before their meal. The Three small bites were two highly mediocre cold shrimp, potato salad that could have been made in Alabama , and lettuce with a pickled something (see pics). I wasn't just mediocre. It was outrageously cheap. Is this NYC or what?! When I finally got my "chirashi parfait", it had four pieces of very mediocre basic sushi (please see pics). For $30. Terrible. read more

Is this the place to go when you want to eat traditional sushi or upscale American fusion sushi? Probably not. This is the place you go to have an EXPERIENCE & eat some tasty food at the same time. I live in California - I am spoiled by fresh fish & fresh produce. I know the difference between fresh/stale etc. The food here is good. Some plates are better than others but nothing was bad. It's a set menu & intentionally whimsical so if you walk in with "I want it my way" mentality you will not enjoy yourself. Some of the complaints I see in other reviews are things I thought stood out! there is an attention to flavor and texture that was delightful. Yes, the creamy parfait/ice cream dish had crunchy bits & I remarked out loud how well balanced that dish was, from a sensory point of view. The food here is a journey. it's playful, surprising, decadent and not always exactly what you wanted. I am picky & I will not eat food I dislike, no matter how much I paid for it. I ate everything. My adult daughter loves anime & kawaii & she had a fantastic time & also loved the food. If Japanese pop culture isn't something you find interesting then you'll probably be happier eating elsewhere. if you appreciate over the top Tokyo drip then you won't be disappointed. P.s. the micro greens were fresh & flavorful today. The shrimp tempura was SUBLIME and both my daughter and I agreed it was the best shrimp tempura we've ever tasted, and she's been eating mixed tempura since she was 6 months old. (Peel the batter & you have veggies appropriate for a new eater. Date night with the baby was always sushi.) read more

Not sure why I expected more out of a place that has such gaudy, almost kitschy decor-- you know you're paying for the kitsch. And I *paid* for the kitsch. The sushi itself was mediocre at best, really lacking flavor that they tried compensating for with the rainbow dipping sauces (which just tasted as artificial as the experience felt). It was underwhelming through and through, from appetizer to dessert. My friend said the sake cheesecake tasted like "dank." I felt bad for taking us here to spend close to $300 on.... kitsch. I didn't know how to keep a straight face for our server when she asked us how our food was. She was a white woman, which someone was the case for most of the staff. You just can't go to a sushi place that's not Japanese if you're trying to do omakase. read more

The art is great along with the drinks, however the food... was not. Sushi was not fresh, quality of the fish was also subpar, the Toro was tough (HOW, ITS TORO?!), I thought I chipped a tooth when eating dessert (it wasn't, it was a large sugar sprinkle that was mixed in with a soft dessert), they added undressed, plain micro greens to dishes with no purpose, list goes on and on. Plenty of ways to improve as I went opening when they just opened, but seriously spend your money elsewhere, specifically at a Michelin starred sushi place. That is REAL sushi. read more

I came here for my birthday on a Saturday night with table reservations. The high top they sat us at was a little underwhelming, but after speaking with the hostess and explaining how much we wanted to sit at the conveyor belt bar, they accommodated us as soon as possible despite a full house. Our server, Saturn, and the hostess were really friendly and kept checking in with us throughout our meal. Really appreciated that! I typically only eat cooked seafood and vegetarian options but decided this would be the place to step out of my comfort zone and I'm so glad I did! The sashimi was fresh and all of the dishes surprised me with their textures and flavors. I really loved looking at all the conveyor belt décor as it came around too.

The hostess is the best in New York City. I have an anaphylactic allergy to sesame seeds. I asked if there were any in the spicy edamame. Instead of walking 4 feet to the kitchen and asking the chef- the waiter just said "No". After being served the dish, I asked the hostess to check with the chef. She returned to the table and confirmed that the dish DID contain sesame seeds. This is after I had already been served and tasted the dish. I quickly took my allergy medicine- it was all very scary. The hostess was amazing, apologetic, went out of her way to remove it from the bill. The waiter didn't even apologize. He truly couldn't be bothered. Decor is cool. If you have allergies, don't eat here. The hostess deserves all of the Tips. My allergic reaction could've been so much worse if I had trusted the waiter. read more
