considering the fact that this place is in nyc, the prices are extremely affordable. I got sushi and mochi ice cream and both were delicious! If I want sushi in nyc Im definitely going to go here again. :)

I was reluctant to try after previous reviews mentioned getting sick and food quality being poor but I just had for lunch special, 3 rolls for 12 and it was great! Not the best sushi you’ll have in your life but good enough for the price. Took 5-10 minutes. Quick and easy. Bring cash. Spicy mayo is 50 cents extra. More of a take out spot.

I got the three roll combo with spicy tuna, tuna avocado, and salmon avocado for 12. Super fresh fish, ripe avocado, and not too much rice. Highly recommend and cash only

Highly recommend the salmon tuna box. The chefs make the entire tray fresh and you can watch them at work. They are true artists. Bring cash because they don’t accept cards.

Great and affordable with fast service. Definitely a gem in the neighborhood. Fish was fresh-tasting, especially the salmon, which had a good percentage of fat. No significant area for dine in so definitely more of a grab-and-go joint. The combos are great bang for your buck, and aren’t restricted to lunch hours like some other establishments. Cash only!

this place is so so good! it’s become my new go to sushi place because it’s so cheap, quick, and delicious! their menu has such a wide variety. i usually just get avacado rolls, avacado cucumber rolls, and shrimp tempura rolls and it’s so amazing!!! i call to order for pickup and they have it ready within 5-10 minutes. for three rolls i believe it’s about 11.45, but i got four rolls for 17.37. it tastes just like the more expensive i’ve had but its so much cheaper! the staff is also very friendly but it takes like 30 seconds to pay and get my food. i absolutely love this place and especially their low prices for quality sushi!! would highly reccomend :)

First of all, I LOVE THIS PLACE! The interior is really pretty! And it was very spacious. The salmon sashimi was VERY FRESH AND DELICIOUS! They gave me a very good amount for the price! Also, the other rolls are good too! The prices are super low, I am definitely coming back. The taro bubble tea and the bubble tea were also splendid! The tapioca was soft and delicious. The kara-age(fried chicken) was decently good.
