Run by the cutest people!! If you're looking for something no frills and filling, come here! I love spicy tuna sushi so was glad to see they do a raw version here (instead of cooked canned tuna kimbap that is popular). Spicy tuna was decent, though I wish it had a bit more flavor. Traditional kimbap doesn't come with soy sauce but I was grateful that my stick came with a small dish of it! If you're looking for maximum value, I would recommend the original or the crab. The tuna is decent, but for the price point the former two is a much better value and the tuna does get lost in the spinach, carrot, radish and egg combo. read more

Yummy Stick - Spicy Tuna Yummy Stick - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Easy to order. Small menu. Takes about ten minutes. There was a line of people but moved very fast. I ordered the spicy salmon stick. It's the most delicious sushi burrito I've ever had. It had carrots, cucumbers, sushi rice, spicy mayo, radish, spinach, and a fried egg. I was carrying it around and a lady stopped me on the street and told me it's one of the best things she's eaten. (A New Yorker). And she was right. She said her favorite was the salmon and add tempura. Every bite was so so good. I inhaled it. I'll be back and get the salmon x tempura. read more

I used to come here every single week without ever getting sick of it. My tried and true is the California roll. I have tried every other flavor but that is my favorite. This is a stand so it's grab and go, but it's always worth it. Anytime I don' know what to eat, I come here. The couple who runs it is so sweet. Even in the downpour, they are so positive and have such great energy. I miss them! Love me fond yummy sticks. read more

I come all the way from Tribeca at least once a week to grab my lunch and dinner here! If I lived closer, I surely would frequent Yummy Stick more often because the food is that delicious! They make incredibly tasty and fresh food--I always get their shrimp tempura stick! Equally as wonderful are the woman and man who run this little shop. The cashier (female) and chef (male) who run Yummy Stick provide such great service, are always so polite and friendly, and work to provide you your food quickly. See you soon, Yummy Stick! read more

Got the classic roll ($5) and spicy salmon roll ($8). Most of the other options range between $8-15. This reminds me more of a kimbap than a sushi roll. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food stall/stand so it is all to-go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sauce in the classic roll was spicier than the one in spicy salmon. Quick service. Cannot beat the price for a sushi burrito / kimbap option. Minimum card payment is $8. Would definitely return! read more

We arrived around 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon. It was freezing outside and yet there was still something of a crowd by this place. It is a hole in the wall spot in west village that is next to an apartment complex with several rolls to try. The rolls are closer to an uncut kimbap than a sushi but man were they fantastic. There are several sushi roll options to choose from ranging from the $5 classic to $15. All of which look fantastic. There is about an 8 dollar minimum for any credit card purchases. We ordered the classic and the spicy salmon. The classic stick was $5 and the spicy salmon was $8. They are served with a side of soy sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no place nearby to sit down to it's a bit awkward trying to eat with the sauce while standing up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Due to the immense cold we were camped out in an apartment lobby next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food took less than 10 minutes to be made. I personally loved the classic stick. Will definitely be back for the classic stick. Funny enough it tasted spicier (was not very spicy just a nice kick) compared to the salmon. They are not very filling. I feel like I can easily devour about 2 of them. Lovely and kind service. Love this place and will be back read more

Best value snack for $5 in NYC so far. I got there right as a cute Korean couple were opening up. A hole in the wall so easily missed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was quick -- 2 minutes, but no seating unfortunately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the classic and crab ($6), which is similar but crab is way better because of the radish. These sticks are essentially uncut kimbap, yummy indeed. Great snack on the go. read more

Yummy Stick - Crab Yummy Stick - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Yummy Stick is the definition of hole in the wall. I never would have found it unless I had been searching Yelp for lunch in the area. I needed a quick bite and Yummy Stick was a perfect option. I ordered the shrimp tempura (no crab stick). A really good value for $10. It came with fried egg, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo - wrapped in a seaweed with excellent rice, the burrito itself wasn't huge, but it was a perfect size for a lunch. I was almost too full to finish the last couple bites. You definitely don't need two unless you're very hungry. The burrito was delicious. It felt hearty, perfect amount of toppings, egg, avocado, and mayo. It came with a small soy sauce which was a challenge to use while standing (but I did it). Would definitely come by again. If I lived/worked/went to school here (there were a TON of students), I'd probably eat here all the time. read more

Biked 25 minutes to get here during my lunch break and WOW!!! This was delicious. Prices must have been raised in the last week or so since the reviews mention cheaper pricing, just beware. Paid $6 for a "original crab" stick and was well-worth it. One of these bad boys will fill you up for a light lunch, two and you'll be full for sure. Can't wait to come back! read more

Yummy Stick - Original Crab Yummy Stick - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Got a sushi burrito for only $5 from this tiny window in Manhattan! This spot is open Mon-Fri 11am-4pm, and is perfect for an on-the-go meal during lunch hours. It's actually more of a kimbap burrito (= kimburrito?!) & they sell a whole assortment of rolls at Yummy Stick. Depending on the roll you get, prices range from $5 to $13 here. The original $5 burrito is stuffed with crab, fried egg, and rice with seaweed wrapped around, made fresh-to-order. The shop owners are so sweet and the burrito is quick, convenient, and filling. Can you believe this is only $5? Where else in Manhattan would you get lunch for $5? (besides Chinatown :P) read more

I arrived just after 12 PM on a weekday and there were a few people waiting to order and a few people waiting for their orders. It is a small store front where you order at the door and wait for your order on the sidewalk. Since there was a small crowd it was easy to spot from down the street. The service was friendly and quick. I asked the person taking orders if she thought 1 was enough, and she recommended getting 2. I ordered the original and the spam yummy stick and only had to wait a few minutes before getting my food. The original came with crab, fried egg, house mayo, and spicy sauce. The spam came with spam, fried egg, spinach, carrot, and yellow radish. They also give soy sauce in a small container. I preferred the spam yummy stick but both were good and I was full after about 1 1/2. Overall this is a great spot if you need a quick meal on the go, but I wouldn't go out of my way if I wasn't in the area. read more

Yummy Stick - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

A great solution for relatively cheap lunch bite or even if you're just looking for a quick bite on the way to something. Prices can be as low as seven dollars but can go up to around $15 depending on the type of roll you get. This place is doing something that has a bit interesting: it's giving sushi burritos another chance by fusing essentially a sushi roll with Kimbap and not cutting it into slices. This makes for a more burrito like eating experience, which makes it more accessible to grab and go, and it's bigger than your traditional sushi roll as well, which makes it more like kimbap, as it's also stuffed with veggies and egg. It's the perfect fusion I was looking for - a blend of more ingredients and larger size from kimbap while keeping the japanese fish options and making it relatively cheap. It's operating out of a hole in the wall and the lady who took my order was so sweet and helpful. I only waited around five minutes for my order though there was a line building, read more

Yummy Stick - Salmon Yummy Stick - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered delivery from here tonight. Ordered the sashimi deluxe. It was $29.95 on Grubhub and they had a promo for $10 off. So I tried it. It was 18 pieces of assorted fish. Comes with either soup or salad and rice. I chose salad. In comments asked then to hold the rice. The food arrived late. I thought it wasn't coming. The salad is just lettuce, some shredded carrot, three slices cucumber, and a grape tomato. Dressing on side. Not a fan. I'd try soup next time. It was fresh though, but I tossed the tomato. The sashimi itself is very small. It was fresh which was nice. But if I had to pay $30 for this little amount of fish, I'd be upset haha. I'm happy they kept the rice! :) So while it was good, it is not worth the money. If they run a promo again, I may order from them again. But we will see. read more

What beats sushi? SUSHI BURRITOS!! I can't believe there aren't more of these places around! I didn't know this was a thing until it was brought to my attention. Today I feel like I was truly blessed because I got the chance to indulge on this delicacy lol. First off this place kinda goes by 2 names. On Google you have to search "sushi burrito yummy stick" or "yummy stick". On yelp it goes by Maru 2. Secondly it's very small and easy to miss so keep your eye out for the yellow sign outside that says yummy stick. Now the FOOD!! The sushi burritos were freaking CRACK. SOOOOOO DAMMN GOOD!! I highly reccomend your try the ninja yummy stick. It has all the flavor and size you could ask for lol. I also got the original yummy stick because you gotta taste the roots you feel me? I want to try the ENTIRE menu. I ended up paying around $31.00 for the original yummy stick, ninja yummy stick, and shrimp tempura yummy stick (for the lady). The service was exceptional. Its ran by just one old asain man. He's the nicest and most chill dude you could meet. He's very polite, very quick with your order, and keeps a smile on his face. I was so impressed by his attitude and his demeanor that I was inclined to give him a nice tip. He was soo appreciative afterwards. I can't wait to come back. If you want your life changed, pull up and give this place a try. It SLAPS. Please tip the guy he's by himself, works hard, and deserves it. read more

A small sushi burrito lunch joint in Chelsea run by a husband and wife duo. My sister and I used to come here all the time during our middle school/high school days, back when you could actually walk into the store and when they used to serve sushi, chicken teriyaki, and soba among others. Now, the business is run out the door (quite literally) and serves only "yummy sticks". We've been coming a lot in the past year and a half and always order in bulk: 3-4 (sometimes 5) of their original yummy sticks, which come stuffed with rice, imitation crab, house mayo, spicy sauce, and a fried egg. I prefer mine extra spicy with extra sauce, while my sister usually opts for less rice, soy sauce, and an extra egg. They're open for short hours, Monday-Friday (11am-4pm), so go go go! Run, don't walk. read more

Overall: 4.4 Wow, what an interesting type of meal. This spot is definitely made for the lunch hour folx that work in the area. And interesting variation of a hand roll. I liked it, but I didn't love it. It was neither here nor there for me. I think I would have preferred sushi for the same price. The staff was nice, very direct. Not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. I would probably try it again if I was craving it specifically. read more

Yummy Stick on google maps! My friend and I stopped by Yummy Stick for a quick lunch, as I'd seen it on Tiktok, and we were so glad we went! I got a spicy salmon yummy stick for $10 but my friend had the original for $5 which is a crazy steal. Where else can you get lunch in Manhattan for $5?? Yummy stick falls somewhere between a sushi burrito and Kimbap - either way, it is delicious. The yummy sticks are manageable to eat size-wise, and are packed with flavor. I loved the egg and greens in mine. They are served with a side of soy sauce. I wish there was some sort of outdoor seating, as it can get a little messy with the soy sauce, but the store owners are so kind; when I spilled soy sauce on my dress, we went back to get napkins and the owners were so accommodating. Overall, would highly recommend for a fast delicious cheap meal! read more

Whenever i am in the area for lunch, I love stopping by here. There is nowhere to sit, it's only take out. They make "yummy sticks" which is basically an uncut sushi roll which actually makes it very convenient to eat on the go. I like the crab and the spam yummy sticks.

Great little place. The rolls are between sushi and kimbap. Very tasty. Ingredients are great. The size of the rolls is good. Maybe a bit small, but the price is right.

Their yummy sticks are pretty good, but not that big and their prices are not consistent. Specifically, they raised their prices on a few of their items and I had to question the cashier as she charged me a few dollars more than what my order should have been. I don't think it's a great value, as one might have to get 3 items to get full-- which will run over $20. But that said, it did taste pretty good. read more
