Probably the best sushi you will eat in an airport. Fans are known to arrive extra early or stay late after a flight just to have a taste. Deep Blue on the Fly, next door, offers grab and go options.

This is the work of Chef Michael Schulson. If you have time, order a few courses: "The Crispy Tuna Rice Cracker is a great way to start. They offer some great specialty rolls as well. Read more

I love this place. I get to the airport early just to eat here. Every sushi-related item is delicious. I live the caterpillar and sushi tacos. The great news is they will soon be at terminal 2!

A sincere thank you to Jahed at the bar for getting me served before my flight so swiftly and thoughtfully. I've never opted for sushi at an airport but it was a good decision this time!
Matthew CaldecuttApril 22, 2018
They have ramen so it's not just for sushi. But, since they got their start as a sushi spot, you should sample something from that part of the menu

To fly JetBlue and not set aside an extra hour to belly up to the bar at Deep Blue and order from the sushi chef is to entirely miss the point. Deep Blue is a lifestyle decision one must make.

Spicy Tuna roll is delish ($11). The shrimp appetizer was good but a little over fried

I like the atmosphere, cozy seats, nice music. Took seafood ramen and pad tai and everything was good and tasty. Ramen is huge. Shrimp is 10/10

I have walked by this place so many times...finally stopped.they have 2 kinds of cold sake not on the menu...dragon roll and crunch red ball roll both good....1st time having good sushi in an airport!
Alex FFebruary 4, 2015
Sushi and the miso soup were both delicious. Don't be constricted by the rolls on the menu, they'll make whatever you want!
Olivia PJune 20, 2013
Try the Kampachi (sliced yellowtail, apple slice, pistachios, shisiho peppers and sea salt). Creamy tuna roll is pretty stellar (do not confuse with spicy tuna. better/different than spicy tuna roll).

Seriously some of the best sushi Ive had in a while. And to think its in the airport. The atmosphere is really comfortable despite everyone rushing for a flight and food is awesome
Andrew WisemanFebruary 25, 2015
Great grub for an airport, though a little more pricey. Plus a funny crew when I went there: guy who claimed to produce Nas and some folks discussing how to ship bootleg purses
Ms HeleneApril 14, 2015
Hot and sour soup is filled with spicy vegetarian goodness $7. They will make any sushi roll you want despite limited menu. Tuna roll $7 with avocado +$3

Flying JetBlue in/out of JFK? Layover? Hungry? The sushi rolls are excellent & priced pretty darn good! Fresh fish, hip decor, & good drinks....good stop.
Jennifer CzerniakMarch 16, 2011
Surprised! Chx Pad Thai was out of this world! Perfect amount of kick to it. Played it safe with sushi and ordered the cucumber/ avocado rolls, both came out fresh/delicious! more venturous next time!
Aaron BellOctober 11, 2019
I got the pork ramen and a beer, which definitely hit the spot.
Chuck ChouJuly 14, 2011
Skip the duck ramen. Described as duck confit but it was steak knife tough. Sushi was pricey but excellent. I had the Blue Futo Maki Roll (8pieces) and Maine Lobster Roll (6pieces)

Deep Blue Sushi menu created by celebrity chef Michael Schulson, the former executive chef of NYC's highly rated Buddakan restaurant was selected by Frommer's as the best airport restaurant in 2010
DonTonTingoSeptember 4, 2015
So disappointed. Had rock shrimp appetizer which was good. But Service sucked &had the$18 sushi taco trio which was just a bunch of rice & small portions of spicy whatever (no taste) btw fried crap!
The Corcoran GroupJune 7, 2011
Airport Sushi? Yes! The fish is fresh and delicious – try the Dragon Roll or the Rainbow Roll or ask for the waiter’s recommendations. The service can be slow.
Normandie WilsonFebruary 22, 2013
Pad Thai is pretty good!! More fruity and spicy than most places. And a decent sized portion- not too big, not too small.
I YDecember 31, 2014
The spicy seafood noodle soup was definitely spicy and delicious. The noodles are more al dente. Yum!
Wesley VerhoeveOctober 22, 2013
Hamachi and sake sashimi are the way to go. Big, gorgeous pieces and so good.
Maddie MaeOctober 25, 2014
Magic Hat #9 is the most drinkable of the bottled brews offered, if you're a real beer drinker.
Jess FloraDecember 14, 2017
Honestly for Airport Food it's like A+

Uhhh best airport bar to exist. Excellent and NORMAL priced sushi AND drinks. I just got my winter lager for 6 bucks...
Jose MercadoMarch 22, 2019
How is it that I order a Long Island iced tea and it was $17 each and tasted like lemonade with a splash of lemonade. I say save your money for on flight!
M JApril 2, 2012
The green salad with apples and cucumbers was amazing!! Pad Thai with shrimp was equally impressive. This is not airport food!
Kimmie OhhMarch 8, 2021
Interior of this airport restaurant is beautiful! Try their ramen
Olga ZhukovaMay 1, 2017
Sirloin ramen is very good. Also great wine list!
Vincent RodriguezNovember 5, 2011
Martinis are good & strong. $14, but good. You can also take your booze in a coffee cup, to the gate. I added iced coffee to my Dewers. Hmmmm...
Husein HadiNovember 19, 2012
Surprisingly large Sake sashimi pieces for $7.5. The shrimp tempira roll was also delicious. Very fresh.
Chris WAugust 8, 2013
Kobe beef fried rice is great for the non-seafood eaters. Service is remarkably fast--very important for an airport
Sigalle BarnessMarch 25, 2016
Enjoy a roll, hot sake and friendly service!
Raj S.June 9, 2012
Not a bad spot but I think they need to pay more attention to little details. I got a spicy tuna roll which was good, but the plate they put it on was really hot...not good.
Erin Schulte CollierJuly 7, 2013
Our waiter was possibly the nicest person I have ever encountered at an airport. And the food was pretty tasty as well.
Rachel BarbarottaJanuary 20, 2012
Surprisingly yummy sushi for an airport. Airport prices for sure though. Get the black cod and Hamachi!
Matt ClineDecember 14, 2014
Best airport food ever. Rock shrimp fried rice. Take it on the flight.
Robb FitzsimmonsMay 26, 2015
Apparently out of nearly everything on Tuesday (all but two wines / beers), which waiter says is "most Tuesdays." What they have seems fine, though, and good for airport food.
Beth KMay 17, 2016
Delicious but expensive. Had the duck, gyoza, and fried rice
Ana HRDecember 20, 2010
Blue Diamond Roll arrives and you think, what did I just pay $18 for? It's actually KIND OF worth it. Super fresh fish, cool presentation.
Doug GFebruary 6, 2014
Some of the best sushi in terminal 5
Olivia PJune 20, 2013
Best food at Terminal 5. Really fresh and delicious sushi!!
Ami H.September 24, 2016
Chirashizushi too mediocre for these prices. Tamago was cold, watery, barely thawed. Sushi rice was too warm and starchy. Bleh combo. However, service, atmosphere, and tunes were good.
Eric HinmanJuly 16, 2014
Creamy tuna roll hit the spot
Donna NurmiMarch 4, 2016
Great sushi. I love the ambiance.
Amy WagnerSeptember 15, 2011
Obviously not the best sushi in NYC but definitely the best place to eat while waiting for your flight in Terminal 5.
Juan LopezAugust 17, 2013
it's not cheap, but everything I ordered was amazing.
Danyel SmithAugust 17, 2013
