Best Sushi in NYC

Best Sushi in NYC

The city's top omakase counters and neighborhood sushi bars.

  1. Upper East Side · $$$$

    A hinoki-wood Edomae counter that is arguably the most serious sushi meal in America. Two Michelin stars, two seatings a night.

  2. TriBeCa · $$$$

    Three-Michelin-star omakase from chef Shion Uino. Ten seats, unforgettable rice.

  3. TriBeCa · $$$$

    Chef Eiji Ichimura's Edomae counter is quiet, exacting, and deeply serious. Aged nigiri is the calling card.

  4. East Village · $$$$

    Toshio Tomita's intimate kaiseki + sushi counter, one Michelin star, a hidden East Village gem.

  5. West Village · $$$$

    Daisuke Nakazawa (Jiro's protégé) runs a 20-course omakase in a low-lit West Village room. Bar seats are the play.

  6. Midtown East · $$$$

    A minimalist blonde-wood room and one of the most disciplined Edomae menus in the city. Sit at the bar and let the chef feed you.

  7. Upper East Side · $$$$

    The original Gari — creative, chef-topped nigiri that started the modern NYC sushi movement.

  8. Nolita · $$$

    Japanese-Italian 'itameshi': uni-topped tagliolini, house-made mochi tiramisu. Weirdly perfect.

  9. East Village · $$$

    An eight-seat omakase counter with one of the best value tasting menus in the city.

  10. Greenwich Village · $$

    The old-school Village sushi joint locals will never let die. Cash, tiny room, generous cuts.
