Super casual, but don't be taken back by it. Sit at the sushi bar and order their daily specials. They will rock your world. Try the seared toro if they have it.

Amazing food/confusing menu. The $35 omakase is solid, but if you're feeling flush, check out the $65-85 'sushi box' omakase or the $140+ 'Super Omakase' hand-served by head chef Nobu at the back bar.

To start, I highly recommend Kusshi and Kumamoto oysters, avocado king crab roll and Black Cod appetizer. Also, you'll never go wrong with omakase.
Ashley AlvarezAugust 5, 2017
Wow. Totally blown away by the experience here. Highly recommend doing the sushi and sashimi for two. The crudo is fresh and delicious and my fav was the tempura corn.
Kathy LiuJune 4, 2019
Beautiful and delicious sushi but questionable Kara-age (no taste or seasoning). Set aside plenty of time at this place because the service is slow so you’ll be hanging out here a while.
Elizabeth BursteinJune 6, 2017
Absolutely loved the sashimi platter, the dragon roll, and the scallop role. Great vibe on a Sunday night

The fish here is amazing. I always get the chefs choice and I am always pleased.

Everything was fantastic. The sushi sashimi for two was delicious and beautiful.

The corner East Village eatery, run by laid-back kitchen vets Nobuyuki Shikanai and Daigo Yamaguchi, turns out top-notch nigiri that stands toe-to-toe with some of its pricier counterparts. Read more

You can’t go wrong with this affordable, high quality sushi option. Get a sushi special and leave the choices to them.

A very affordable and high quality omakase. The fatty tuna with mint is quite good, as is their monkfish liver. We recommend gong with a few people, ordering a ton, and sharing.

If you're with a large party call in advance for the tuna rib and prepare to scrape it off the bone! P.s. the choice and quality of the oysters and fish from the homeland is phenomenal

The folks at Kanoyama are a head above the rest, with specials like hamachi carpaccio with yuzu juice and sea salt, sea conch sashimi, and Tasmanian ocean trout.

Three roll combo for $18 is a great deal.

Sit at the sushi bar and order the omakase... on the expensive side, but worth it, and you'll be mesmerized watching the sushi chefs create their masterpieces.
Walter LeonOctober 10, 2014
The omakase was awesome and the Gyozas also great. Excellent service. The green tea ice is delicious.

Get the omakase sushi. It's $35 and worth every penny. I guarantee you will eat types of fish you've never even heard of.
Julius TarngNovember 7, 2015
That big tuna thing is real weird. The first round is scrape off the bones - not super filling. Then they deep fry the shit out of it and you munch on the marrow. Fun I guess and not that expensive
Ms HeleneFebruary 1, 2016
Sashimi regular $19 for 10 quality pieces with rice. Seaweed salad served in a crispy basket $9.

my new favorite #omakase in nyc. ask for chef nobu in the back! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Super authentic sushi spot... Get the chef’s sashimi special 💯
Elena V.July 9, 2011
Sit at the bar and ask for the 'super omakase' (not on the menu). Chef Nobu is wonderful so sit strategically to watch him prepare and discuss the sushi!

Not only is this some of the best sushi/sashimi in town, but it also yields one of the most authentic Japanese appetizers and entrees. Get the monkfish liver to start and enjoy the omakase meals!
DensOctober 31, 2012
I was disappointed with the $110 chef's tasting menu - while we were getting little soups & weird apps, all the folks around us were getting hand-fed sushi via the $45 mini-tasting. Do that instead.

Consistently high quality, super fresh sushi and sashimi. Fish is equal to top sushi restaurant standards at a good value. I recommend the daily specials and tuna rib appetizer, if it's available.
Malcolm RingNovember 15, 2016
Michelin starred and very reasonably priced
Stephanie WangMay 18, 2012
Daily specials menu for seasonal add-ons. Omakase for a special night. For crazy, have them bring out those tuna ribs.
infusiaMay 12, 2010
everytime i come here, i have to get omasake sushi set and it is different each time.unagi sushi is unbelievably delish and so is the plum wine. i would also recommend the tempura set.
BonMarch 14, 2019
Sushi special is a great deal for $39
RCMay 28, 2015
Ive only had delivery from here and I think it is one of the best around!
Amber VittoriaOctober 14, 2014
Incredible shrimp tempura sushi, fried oyster sushi, and mochi icecream.
Sherry LiMarch 18, 2015
Great sushi at very good prices. Fresh and good quality fish.
Jules McGuireJune 25, 2019

Get the sashimi omakase and a glass of sake. You won't regret it.

Top quality sushi. Ask for their tuna catches of the day. They're fresh and fatty! King salmon is also good!
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 21, 2014
Get the Oyster Uni Ikura- it's ridiculously amazing
Sathana KitayapornDecember 8, 2013

From one sake lover to another: if you like dry and smooth (not sweet) - get the hakkasian or the otokoyama. #cantsayno
Joey JApril 13, 2019
A bit pricey. Specifically the Sake menu. One can of funaguchi should not cost $14. Otherwise I enjoyed my 🍣.
Amy SJuly 31, 2013
Amazing sushi, omakase was a bargain so delicious
Kathryn McGrathMay 7, 2011
Be adventurous and order from the front specials menu. The sizzling grilled squid is delicious.

Sashimi deluxe, echigo beer. This is all you need to know .
Scott RubinAugust 5, 2012
Best sushi I ever had! The omokase sushi is worth the extra money. It is out of this world. I've been eating sushi since I was a kid and this place blows away any sushi I have ever eaten. Love it!
