Sushi Restaurants
our suggestions
-
Nobu
105 Hudson St., Tribeca, NYSome say Nobu is old news, but we say it’s still as good as Japanese food gets. Especially if someone else is paying.

Sushi of Gari
402 E. 78th St., Upper East Side, NYSushi of Gari is the best sushi on the Upper East Side. Hands down. It’s not even up for discussion. You know why Sushi Seki is so good? Because the guy who started it learned from Gari himself, Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio. As discussed in the review of Gari’s 46th St. location, it’s all about the [...]

Sushi of Gari 46
347 W. 46th St., Midtown, NYDamn. We’ve been sleepin’ on Gari…hard. This is some of the finest fish in all of Manhattan. Their $50 Omakase is as visually stimulating as sushi can get. This isn’t just fish on top of rice – no, no. Each piece is prepared like its own entree – stacked, coated and finished with different ingredients. [...]

Nagao Sushi & Salad
13050 San Vicente Blvd., Los Angeles, CANo, we were not at Sushi Nozawa on the last day before it closed. Apparently that’s the new badge of honor that people in LA wear now when you bring up sushi restaurants in this town. “Oh you like that place? I guess it’s OK. Did I tell you that we waited six hours to [...]

15 East
15 E. 15th St., Union Square, NYBert and Ernie? Fergie and the weird looking dude from the Black Eyed Peas? That won’t work, Steinthal can’t run in heels. Sorry, just thinking of a few disguises for all the bank robberies we’re going to have to pull off to keep eating at 15 East. Maybe we’ll do the Hamburglar and Grimace. They’ll [...]

Sushi Seki
1143 First Ave., Upper East Side, NYTwo things have changed since this website started taking over our lives: we sleep less, and we eat more. You would think that the body’s natural response to such developments would be to force rest and fasting. Instead, quite the opposite has happened. We’ve begun to take a lot of pleasure in a little thing [...]

Kanoyama
175 2nd Ave., East Village, NYA diamond in the rough sushi find. This is some of the best fish you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

Tomoe
172 Thompson St., Greenwich Village, NYWaiting in a line outside of any restaurant seems a bit silly to us, but Tomoe is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, as you will see by those patiently standing single file out front on most nights. And it certainly isn’t the atmosphere that’s got people queued up on Thompson Street. The place is a dump.

Jewel Bako
239 E. 5th St., East Village, NYJewel Bako is one of those restaurants that we’ve been hearing about for a while now, mostly from East Village residents who never leave the neighborhood for anything. Ever. You have friends like that. People who act like Third Avenue is the Korean DMZ, and would sooner commit ritual suicide before getting in a cab [...]

Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya
187 Orchard St., Lower East Side, NYOur admiration for Blue Ribbon is well documented. Despite a fast and furious expansion plan that could have easily doomed the brand, it seems that each new opening from this group brings a positive new angle to the growing empire. They seem to really understand that the most important factor is the food, which is [...]
