Miso Soup
Christina Z.

Decent but the fish was not very fresh. The rolls were way better. Not much people in the restaurant... My sashimi slices were not all equal width, and the second from left on the front had tons of scales still left on the fish. The dark red one (bluefin tuna akami per below comment) was VERY fishy (it's the body, not the belly where we usually enjoy toro/ootoro/chutoro from), so it didn't taste like it was very fresh. Upon research, it seems the akami is the leanest part of the bluefin tuna, meant to have a more "umami" flavor (however, this did not taste like umami to me, but rather something else). An interesting mix for sashimi, but I would stick to the rolls here. Salmon was okay, not much fat to it, not very creamy and rich like we're used to. The bottom left one had technically a sauce on it? I realize they put a ton more sauce on my husband's plate vs. mine, but I am used to having no sauce added to my sashimi. Not coming back to do omakase since we weren't impressed with the rest. The eel was a nice smoked flavor with perfectly creamy avocado. The only saving grace to the meal.

Assorted sashimi.

This place is a sushi experience. Sushi snobs will enjoy this place. The service is excellent and their menu looks spectacular. The ambiance is very nice Their miso soup tastes freshly prepared and not too salty. Your average miso soup is dispensed out of a soup dispenser and can be salty tasting. A+ One aspect of any Japanese restaurant is their chopsticks. Believe it or not, in Japanese custom it is actually an insult to rub your chopsticks together to remove the wood splinters after separating them. That is because in Japan, chefs pride themselves on having chopsticks where there is no need to rub them together. This place has quality wood chopsticks where there is no need to rub them together. I got an assortment of nigiri sushi. From top left to bottom right: 1) Mackerel with brown garlic, 2) Kingfish topped with pickled lettuce, 3) Japanese black snapper topped with umami sauce, 4) hamachi yellowtail topped with jalapeño pepper, 5) salmon with crunchy garlic sauce, 6) fluke topped with fluke fin, lemon juice, and lime skin Their sushi is spectacular and deserves praise. My top 4 recommendations are as follows: #1 - Hamachi Yellowtail - spectacular. A true mouth pleasure #2 - Salmon - one of the best pieces I have tried #3 - King fish (seasonal) - a must try. #4 - spicy salmon roll was spectacular. The other pieces of sushi are as follows: The mackerel- tasty with a smoky flavor from the black garlic Japanese Black Snapper topped with umai sauce - the umai sauce made the roll. Tasty Fluke - I may not be a fan of fluke in general but they do a spectacular job with the garnish 10/10 would recommend for adults looking to enjoy a nice experience. Expensive but tasty.

The freshest fish I've had in all of the sushi restaurants in Westchester, very intimate interior, feels like you're in japan at an exclusive omakase restaurant. The service and staff were so nice and friendly and helpful, I had a great experience, absolutely delicious

TLDR: There is amazing Omakase style sushi in Westchester. A spot called Umami Sushi in Ardsley NY! I moved into Manhattan, and now that has become my primary food scene out of proximity. However, I found a little slice of the city in my hometown and went for dinner yesterday, and OMG. It blew my mind. Umami Sushi in Ardsley has been our go-to spot for years. The Cramer household as resident Ardsleans are in-the-know about this local gem. The fish is consistently fresh, the staff is helpful and prompt, and Candy and her family are great owners who make an effort to get to know the regulars. A few weeks ago, Candy told us that with their renovated sushi bar, they were going to start Omakase service with a Manhattan sushi chef? I was over the moon! Omakase is a Japanese phrase which means "I'll leave it up to you", or chef's choice. There are many famous Omakase sushi establishments within New York City, and while delicious, they are insanely expensive! I booked a 7pm-9pm time slot right away. The experience was fabulous! In total we had 17 courses, each course consisting of an appetizer or a nigiri style sushi piece. The best part about Omakase is the sushi chef is allowed to curate an experience for you that you could not get eating standard rolls. It's an art form of its own, and the chefs are able to showcase their creative morsels of deliciousness while also providing menus that's use the freshest products in-house. You also get one-on-one time with your sushi chef, and he listens to your feedback and incorporates your tastes within the upcoming courses. We had an amazing sampling of toro, uni (sea urchin), truffles, caviar, Spanish mackerel, yellow tail, sea bass, monkfish, and the list goes on. Each round was got better as we went along. Our chef created unique pieces that I have never seen done in a Manhattan Omakase, and all of them distinctively held their own. The best part? Compared to an establishment like Masa or Sushi Yasuda in NYC ($$$$), Umami offers a very, very conservative price for the quality, creativity, talent and service that went into our meal. Do yourself a favor and for your next birthday, anniversary, client dinner, or adventurous dinner out, book a time slot for one of Umami's Omakase options via their Yelp, and get yourself a bottle of Sake because you deserve it!!! Oh, and be sure to say hi to Candy for me!

From Onakase, Seafood soup , lots of crab meat !

Went back to Umami Sushi , first time in a long time ... The Omakase was great ! It's a little fusion style but you won't get this style at any Japanese sushi place in Manhattan. Strongly recommend the Omakase menu ! Would definitely go back

Kate S.

Had a wonderful Omakase experience here. All the sushi pieces were delicious and very nicely presented by the chef. Cute place to go for a date or special occasion. Deff a must try if you in the area.

One fall afternoon, I accidentally made a detour and moments later found myself stumbling across…read moreTarrytown looking for a decent spot to eat. Thanks to the Yelpers I found this spot which did not disappoint! *AMBIANCE* It's a no frills, minimalistic restaurant but don't be deceived because the food speaks for itself. You can either find street parking or there's a metered lot across the street. We had a late lunch so there were open tables inside, and a few outdoor tables to enjoy your noms. *FOOD* I ordered the roll lunch set ($18), not only because variety is the spice of life, but I love having sushi, soup and some sides. The sushi was very fresh and I loved the gyoza, spinach, egg sides. We also ordered the tempura duo ($14) appetizer which was perfectly crisp. The shrimp and the veggie tempura were probably some of the best tempura I've had. Highly recommend the lunch sets (which are offered until 3:30pm)! *SERVICE* Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Overall, come hungry and leave with a sense of joy and possibly a mild food coma after!

Particularly, the poke bowl (fresh, well balanced and flavorful), sushi, seaweed salad and sweet potato fries (among the best I've ever had). The only disappointment was the edamame, due to the wrong garnishments. Excited to be back to try other dishes!

At first, we were concerned about finishing everything, so started off not ordering too much. Once we saw that everything was served in small portions and meant to be shared, we tried more menu items. Stand outs included specialty Shrimp Tempura Rolls, Hibachi Noodles, Pork Katsu, Hibachi Steak, and Rock Shrimp. The Shrimp Tempura were wonderfully crunchy. Hibachi Noodles were perfectly cooked oh so flavorful! The taste was simply addicting. Pork Katsu was light and crisp. Hibachi Steak was succulent, juicy, and well seasoned. We also had Edamame, Fried Calamari, Veggie Tempura, Fried Rice, Teriyaki dishes, Signature Rolls filled with crab, shrimp tempura, mango, and much more. Everything was fresh, yummy and full of flavor. For dessert, we tried Fried Oreo, ice cream, and orange. Service was lovely. Our waiter was friendly and patient with us, making sure we were well taken care of. My friends and I had such a great time over a delicious, filling meal!

As many of you know I am cultured. I'm seasoned. In age and in ethnicity. Lightly seasoned? Sure…read more But seasoning nonetheless? Depends who you ask. Oh Desdemona, how unlucky you were. Oh Yelp, how lucky I am. How lucky I always am. How lucky I was to stumble upon Hawaii Japanese Cuisine on the ever industrious Warburton Ave. Saturday Farmers Market. Meredith's Bakery. Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread. If you know you know. Anyways. Out in Waikiki I learned to appreciate Poke. I once appreciated Pokemon. What's Politoed up to these days. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly depending on your grasp of history, Poke is actually a Hawaiian dish. Japanese inspired, of course, but that's why the name of this spot is quite unique (although not catchy). Catch of the day. Rack of the day. So how'd I get here? You ask? ASK ME. Fine! I'll answer. Calm down, needy much? I'm an active guy. I participate in activities. Typically solo, I'm riding solo I'm riding solo solooooo. Man, just imagine walking down the city streets with a Walkman in blasting Les Miz. The dream. Anyways. I just got back from the island life and I was craving some fresh fish, at a sizable size with some balance of fruit, veggies, sauce and quantity for a beautiful price. And I just so happened to be running myself into the ground at the track in Irvington. Or was it that low-lying track in Hastings. The bees. The bumblebees. Maybe the hornets. It was Irvington. The bulldogs. Grrrrrr. I just ran myself into the ground. Sprints for about an hour. Bad hammy. Few months later tore the calf while calfmaxxing. Probably related. First muscle injury in a spinning dixie, gotta have muscles to injure them? Not really but that's what I'll tell myself. So I rip the farmers market. Then I rip the soosh spot, ordered online. Walked in, handsomely. Very friendly and respectful and nice staff and have been everytime I've gone since. The weight of the food in hand was ridonk so I was optimistic. I also got a few desserts down the road. Some hardbody that was completely eyeing down my grass-fed grass-finished hog at the track was somehow now across the street drinking a protein smoothie. My aura stinks of grandeur, but I avoid it. I'm taken lady. Did she follow me? Gross. What a joke. Really put things into perspective. I'm a fat slob, a professional self sabotager. But I work hard for this fat and that's what makes me a special boy. Hawaii Japanese Cuisine has the best poke in the area. They never let you down. I never let you down. Benvolio. As your voice of reason, I reason you to give it a go. A humble hero in Hastings.

The fact that I've been dying for a make your own bowl close to me and am just finding this spot is…read moreinsane! Really need to do better with advertising this spot. I've driven by many times and never even knew they existed! I opted for the build your own bowl and what an experience. There are soooo many options for fixins and for the bowl itself. You can get 2 proteins or 3. For my bowl this time I got the 2 proteins with half brown rice half green salad with kani of course. For fixins I added cucumbers, edamame, masago, radishes, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, crispy onions, scallions, ginger and for 1$ extra avocado. I added classic shoyu which is basically just soy sauce. I wish they gave a better description for their sauces. My partner ordered the 2 protein bowl with brown rice, grilled chicken, shrimp, sweet corn and added eel sauce. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Vegetables had a nice crunch which lets me know just how fresh. Was a little disappointed in the amount of kani I got but was delicious nonetheless. Note the kani is shredded very thinly. For 16$ this bowl is a perfect little lunch.
